Arrow One

I am a member of a team, and we have a team account, as well as each of us has a personal account. I do not log "team" finds, if I was not personally present with the team, on my personal account. The team may have the find if the 3 others in my team found it, but you won't see it on my personal account as a find. I see nothing wrong with logging a find as a team, and as an indivdual if you were present at the find with the team. Team members do go out on their own, and the team I belong to, not all members are present all the time of the find, but it is logged as a team and on our own personal accounts in geocache.com. We usually log in the book, the team name, and the members present at the time, in case the owner of the cache wants to know who we are. I don't think its something to make a big deal out of though.

TIP......DO NOT CARRY FOOD in your "geopack" (backpack) while hiking for caches. The smell of food may make a bear curious. Especially if it's hungry. I which case, I think the fig newton idea would work.

I bow hunt, and when hunting season started this year, I realized I only had one arrow! Thus, " Arrow One". The funny this is, my favorite necklace is a "Spirit Bear", which has a crooked arrow running through it. An American Indian told me one time,(years ago) that my spirit animal was a bear. Thus my Avatar.

I think your log was to the point. Why place a cache in a bad area like that? Children or not, who knows what could be lurking around any tree...

Got lotsa bugs, need tags!

I sent my first travel bug on its way yesterday. I didn't have a cache ready of my own to place, so I sent it out on it's journey in another cache. Does anyone have any interesting stories of placing their first TB?

I use maps to get to the area (not topo). Then use my GPS and sometimes a compass (when satellite recep is bad). When all else fails, I use my "caching skills", as my nephew and team member would call them. I've checked topo maps before I go, which help identifying the terrain and any lakes or rivers, but I've never used one in the field.

In my case, I'm the cacher and he's the one at home!
