Also... I'd like to see a google map route created to show all of the caches that a trackable has visited. I know there is a map and you can jump from one spot to the next, but it's hard to follow, and I often don't know what area the map is showing. A line showing the bugs movement from cache to cache would be pretty cool... and maybe a datestamp on each waypoint on the course.
There is this already. It's under Trackable Item Options called View in Google Earth.

Yeah, don't you hate it when you climb 1000ft up a mountain to get a cache, only to DNF it after traveling half way across the country and on our Honeymoon to boot!!!
On a bright side, we got to get some great pictures, and spend time with each other, doing what we love...enjoying nature
That really was a shame that you didn't spot the ammo box after all that work!!
LMAO...too bad it was supposed to be a small, and we found the spot, just no cache...

There are now 90 AGT caches out there to find. I have one county complete, going after another tomorrow. If you need a pocket query of the caches, there are two bookmark lists that I know of.
and
Keep on cachin'!
Make that 91 AGT caches!

I was wondering if there were any Uniontown area (or fairly close) geocachers groups? If so could you direct me to the right forum? (I already looked at the organizations topic/forum..nothing I could find there)
Anyway, if there arent any, has anyone thought about getting one started/or would like to start one?
You can always take a look at Tri-Go. It's a Yahoo group centered around Pittsburgh...

Ooooh... it would be nice if they added a bookmark list like that!
It is pretty easy to separate the caches by keyword in GSAK, as an alternate method.
Unfortunately, the pocket query generator doesn't have a keyword feature.
The best solution is for one of the AGT project organizers to create a master shared bookmark list of all the AGT caches, and then keep it up to date by adding the new ones as they're published. Any premium member can then run their own pocket query for that bookmark list.
Here ya go!

I found a cache a couple weeks ago, where a muggle left a camel in the cache...It's a hydrocache that doesn't get hit too often...well it was in there for over a year, and was quite moldy by the time we got there...eww...

We've got an LPC that's NOT and LPC (I won't list it here for the locals to know about it). There is a large creek that actually runs UNDER the mall and the cache is so many feet from the entrance of the large 10 foot conduit. The cache is directly under a lampost! Cool! Water gets deep and fast when it rains tho....
I know that one...it's very cool...also there is another one near my house that is down an old well in the manner you described...

Mine will be ready to go Sunday. Looks like loads of fun. Gonna be working to get my cache too...nice 3+ mile hike in the woods...
-
Nope, can't do it.
The site uses a filter that strips out a lot of different html in case someone tries to do something unfriendly.
The filter is called TidyHTML
Is there anyway to get a list of what is acceptable and not filtered out? I did a search, and all i come up with is the sourceforge page, and I'm not really wanting to look at the C code to figure that out...markwell anyone?

I'd like to toss in that I'm a Gmail user, and DIDN'T get that message...

We should have a pinned cache rescue and adoption thread in the NE forums. I've seen other regional groups use them. Is this bad form, for fear that a cache might be listed elsewhere?
I agree.

When I am looking at a cache list and select the "Bookmark Listing", first time it renders the Create a Bookmark page the "Select A List" select list doesn't contain any of my bookmarks. If I hit the backspace button then select "Bookmark Listing" again, the select list renders fine. Not a big issue but I didn't see it mentioned before. I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.6.
My browser (same as yours, Firefox 2.0.0.6) doesn't exhibit this problem. My bookmark lists show up as soon as the "Create a Bookmark" page appears. I'm not sure what might be causing the problem with your browser.

I get this but only occasionally...I'm using FF2.0.0.6 as well...

... When a cache becomes a problem and needs retreived it's archived and a CRM cache is created. CRM is Cache Rescue Mission. The CRM cache is a one time only cache that come with a special red cross cache icon. When the intreprid cacher finds and takes the cache they save the world from a B Movie Plot involving GeoLitter.
Once retrieved, the cache is archived. CRM could also verify that the cache is actually gone.
I like this idea (also).
And since anything that you can add a counter to (for bragging rights) brings more participation a CRM Cross icon on your cache stats page would encourage a competition to be the one who removed the "one time only cache".
Hmmm, the more I think about this, the more I like it. Better than my original suggestion.
Which the number hounds would CRM their cache if their buddy CRMed theirs, so they could go pick up each others cache that they would have archived anyway, and thus incrementing their find count...
-
Hmmm. That's a good question. I'd ask a lawyer.
If I knew a competent one, I would ask him! 
Aren't you a law....ahh nevermind...Ask your reviewer to have it changed to a puzzle/mystery, in order to force people to read the cache page.
My reviewer is an inflexible rules hound who would tell me that changing cache types would mess up the history of the cache, and that I'd have to start over with a new "?" cache.
Hey, wait! Aren't you a...
Anyway, I'd go with 4/5 as well...might also be worth placing in a dabble of 2 asking them to relog/edit...

I had this problem - Saw a local cache was archived, but liked the location, so I went and placed the start of a 5 step multi there, which tied in with the location and the name of the old cache. While i was placing it, another cache was published 300 feet away. No where even close - it required crossing a 6 lane highway on foot, or driving about a half mile to get to the new location - but of course, 300' is 300', so it was denied, and I had to move the cache to a place i wasn't as happy with, but would get approved.
If you can prove (with pictures) that there is no way to confuse the two b/c of the 6 lane highway (I-79 or I-90???), they should be able to publish the cache...remember they are only guidelines, not law/rules written in stone.

The life of Florida cacher is rough, but somebody has to wash those dishes.....
She's actually from Pittsburgh, PA...well a 'burb anyway...

I used the handy dandy search function and typed the word "Nano," it took me twenty seconds. Enhancement Request - New Cache Size NANO
My vote is no the Nano Size.
Do you have any idea how big a "nanometer" really is?
A nanometer is a unit of measure. Just like inches, feet and miles. By definition a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter. A meter is about 39 inches long. A billion is a thousand times bigger than a million, as a number you write it out as 1,000,000,000. That is a big number and when you divide a meter into one billion pieces, well that is very small. So small you cannot see something a nanometer in size unless you use very powerful microscopes like atomic force microscopes.
Until cachers need Atomic Force Microscopes, no Nano size description is needed.
My vote is yes the Nano Size.
By the same nature of your argument of "nanometer" then micro should be eliminated as a micrometer is one millionth of a meter, and you can't have a log book in something that small.
Nano cache would refer to the smallest of size categories, relative to the others, smaller than a micro.

...Compare apples with apples. An event cache by definition implies that there might be multiple caches, much like a type of a multi-stage.
I don't see any implication about multiple caches at an event, much less like a multi-stage cache, can you please point that out to me...
from: http://www.geocaching.com/about/cache_types.aspx
Event CacheOccasionally, local geocachers and geocaching organizations designate a time and location to meet and discuss geocaching. After the event the caches are archived.

We are getting married this coming weekend, and will be honeymooning in Fabulous Las Vegas! We are looking for some nice hiking (not 10 mile hikes, but not park and grabs) full size caches to do while in town for the week. It doesn't matter if they are Mystery, Multi, or Traditional caches. Destinations we are looking to head to are Red Rocks, Mt Charleston, and Lake Mead, and of course within Vegas.

Tried a number of times with the NPS in Delaware Water Gap, PA.
Honcho at that time stated they'd ruin "the natural ecosystem" within the park (as per NPS hdqtrs.), by creating a "trail" (cachers repeatedly accessing [alledgedly] via the same route) through a "pristine" area.
'Scuse me, but you think some visitor from the city knows whether the plant they just stepped on was endangered? Look at most of the parking/camp/trail areas anymore - sure doesn't seem to be important to NPS how THEY look.
I don't see why they couldn't set up rules like DCNR, where cache placement area is looked at by them and if it doesn't interfere with a rare fern or flower or tree frog, it's approved for a three year period. (They believe that's how long it "normally" takes to create a "trail".
I agree there should be a system like what the DCNR has. Not sure how to go about changing their minds. Also, with the DCNR, the Parks have a 3 year permit, and the State Forests have a 2 year permit.

Our notification service stopped working for some reason and had to be restarted. All outstanding notification emails have already been sent and should have been delivered by now.
EliasThere was a new cache published last night 3 miles from my house that I never got the Instanotification as well as a cache that I have a logged notification on. My watchlists and owner emails haven't come either from this weekend. I wouldn't say it's exactly fixed...
-
I'm also not getting my emails for owner and watchlist cache logs as well as the published instant notifications and logged instant notifications.
If I knew a competent one, I would ask him!

There's 1000 coins per county. I don't think that they will run out of them before at least end of summer 2008.
