That's a funny story.

I have some sad news to report from the Southeastern front. GCRV47 ... has been eaten alive.
It's horrible, I know. Apparently the land next to the library where the cache was placed has been cleared of all underbrush and small trees, and with it the cache in the area. Now, when I say "cleared", I don't mean "carried away". I mean a thresher and dozer have come through and torn the place into tiny little pieces. The cache is no more, its bags being strewn about, the travelbug in disarray, and the log book's pages slowing blowing down the lot. I'm trying to be vivid in my description -- I left my camera at home.
The poor squid travelbug toy somehow came out modestly unscathed -- half a tentacle dangling and there appears to be some head trauma, but I think he is going to live. I'm trying to get in contact now with the team that got the travelbug itself, getting the poor thing washed up, and sending it back on its way; I think this story alone is pretty memorable, and it makes me hope the little guy will make it to Hawaii.
A sad day for brush-covered caches everywhere.
Here is a cache site, that is now being made into an UPS warehouse.

Update: The man is going home today!. His wife was on the TV last night. He fought off the infection and had a skin graft for his scalp.
Thanks for the news.

Most of the time I just, took nothing, left nothing, but if their is something in the in cache that I like, then I will trade.

I'm not sure of the count, but there is someone in my area who is at well over 2 years with at least one cache find per day.
That would be kablooey, who is (as of today) at 1295 consecutive days with a find. His last day without a find was July 14, 2003.
And he is a wonderful person, too.
Wow.

The value is in the adventure.
Seeing new places and things.
It is even in the secret of hidden caches that you know about, but no one around you does.
Enjoy the hunt, the journey, the discovery.
Not every value can be measured in coin.
Ditto.
Ditto that to.

Here is my cache, in want is consider one of the most haunted place's in the world Waverly Hill's.
This one goes behide the history of Waverly Hill's.

This is my favorite and it consistently gets the best logs of any we have placed.
It took a while to get this one through the approval process, but it was worth it. The hike is about 1.5-2 miles through a picturesque park and there are puzzles at each of the waypoints.
We always look forward to seeing the logs on this one!
This ONE becaues it's my first hide.

Congrats.

If it is near a busy road or otherwise high muggle area I won't stop.

ok, being a fairly new GEO Cacher, i'm sure to take some heat for this, but when reading peoples logs, I see these characters at the end of peoples logs quite often.
What do they mean? I tried deciphering them using the "key" for hints and it doesn't make any sense.
I'm pretty computer savvy and know a lot of these things (BTW - By The Way etc... but I've never seen these before.
Help please........Thank you in advance.
