If you notice at the bottom of that screen shot, it's in the Games and Sports categories, which is part of one of Open DNS's preset categories of sites that can be blocked. The Taco Bell administrator used the preset category, and did not create an exception for Geocaching.com.

For a while, that was pretty common, and I still see them on occasion. I think it was possibly a bug with certain phone apps, or something of that sort.

I would not be a bit surprised if the vast majority of letterboxes posted on the letterboxing sites have store bought stamps.

It's been almost a month ago now, but I finally broke into the four digit club at HQGT: Ode to the Golgafrinchan Phone Workers:

Still getting it here. Please note the request in bold above. They need your help to fix it. Which I did...

I may not have as many as you do, but I like people to find mine as well thus they are premium so they last longer. For my area I am going to have to claim "some exclamation filled diatribe that disputes the current thought process" regarding premium member only caches lasting longer since none of my caches are premium member only and they are all doing fine. Three are ammo cans and the others are good quality non-ammo cans. I try to go with the philosophy that someone will need to be at least a little bit adventurous to find my hides. The only hide I had to archive since 2006 was a highly cammoed container that was pretty hard to find. Some local decided he/she didn't like the cache and kept trashing it and leaving the bits and pieces laying about. I did have to archive two ammo can hides because the undeveloped land got posted with no trespassing signs. So as a premium member since I joined, I say I have no evidence to support the claim that PMO caches last longer. Well placed and well hidden caches last longer. I'm thinking this must be an issue that's unique to other areas, because I agree with you. My only PMO caches are my caches at Cougar Mountain, and that's because there was a cache troll issue there, a few years ago. I have a few unique hides with unique containers that are more than a year old, and have only had issues with one of them, and that was because it keeps suffering damage due to its construction. One is particularly expensive to build, and I've had no issues with the final. I also have a number of ammo can hides and only one has disappeared.

Still getting it here.

The same reason I use an SLR: Flexibility. I use it to track statistics, filter caches, load the GPS, paperless caching, viewing caches in Mapsource against the Northwest trails mapset, and planning for cache placements with the Google Earth KML Circles macro. It can do all this, and more.

I wonder why they bothered. It doesn't seem to me to pose much of a hazard.

I've seen this myself, and weirdly, it doesn't actually reject anything. I can click on the link, and follow it straight to the cache page.

How about carrying a small can of WD-40? “If it moves and it shouldn’t; use Duct Tape. If it should move and it doesn’t; use WD40″

It does cost money to get a trusted root certificate.

I used to use an X5(which I retired and moved up to an X3). I use GSAK's HTML export option, then copy it over to an SD card. I then open the index file with the built in Web Browser on the PPC. Simpler than using Cachemate, which has to be installed on the PDA, and Cachemate is not free. I have no experience with the GPS attachments(I use an Legend HCx).

I'm still a film guy, but I don't usually use it for geocaching, as the quick turnaround of digital is better for that. However, I do scout while geocaching. For geocaching, I use my D200. I also still have a darkroom, though I'm not using it enough to keep the chemicals up to date. For caching I generally just use my cell phone. It does surprisingly well (teh vast majority of my gallery pics were taken with my, or my wife's, cell phone) and I have gotten some good shots out of it. But I like having my rig in the car just in case I spot something I want to take some time with. I know film is SO 20th century, but I just feel like I put more of "me" into working with film and knowing I have to be far more selective in my shot prep and so on so I don't burn through too much film. The last time I was geocaching at Cougar Mountain, I actually brought both the Bronica (which I keep loaded with Fuji Neopan 100 Acros) and the D200, along with a tripod, because we were going to be at a waterfall in the middle of the park. The last time I was there, I took some water motion shots of the falls, and during the processing of the film, the lid wasn't secure, and I tipped it over to pour out the developer, and the reels came sliding out and were exposed. The ironic/weird part is there were two rolls in the tank, with the roll that had the waterfall shots on the bottom, and another roll on top, and the roll that was ruined was the bottom roll, the top roll was not.

I've noticed that the site seems to have trouble maintaining lots of connections at one time. For example, if I'm looking at a number of different caches at the same time in browser tabs, the site will sometimes take quite a while to connect to a cache page after I open it, but others will open almost immediately. I suspect the load balancer is acting up again.

I used to go by my first initial and last name, but decided I wanted something a bit more creative, so I changed it to part of my email address, which reflects my photography hobby, which I still practice, but not as actively, so it still applies.

You may have better luck in the Northwest forum...

Agreed. This is something best left to reviewers.

Funny...I just noticed a reviewer as to having 13 finds. Yet someone is encouraged to have 20 finds before hiding one. I believe the majority of reviewers have a separate player account. I have a lackey friend that I know does, and they occasionally review caches.

11% lifetime, 6% last year, though I don't always log a DNF.

So do I... I simply use an actual computer...
