  1. Thank you TotemLake. I am an old timer cacher. Now into my tenth year. I'm also a bit of a purist, and a minimalist. I do not often use attributes. If I have something to point out, I usually put it on the cache page. I want people to view my cache page. <--Who's lazy?

    What is a cache? A box, a logbook, a coordinate, a GPS, a cache page. Nothing more than that is required. Anything more than that deminishes the challenge to some degree. We now have endless attributes, zoomable google maps, hints, photos, explainations, parking directions, extra waypoints, on and on. Sorry, but that's rather a lot of hand-holding. I don't think I'm lazy. I have a lot of 5 terrain caches, and take pride in my cache pages. I would like it if people bothered to look at them every now and then. The one thing I often do is point out any safety hazards. I believe in people knowing what they are getting into if there are hidden risks involved. I put that info on my cache page. Please take the time to read it. You always have the option to not do any of my caches for any reason. I have no objection to that. Don't like my lack of attributes? Don't do my caches. I'm fine with that. Really.

     

    This is exactly my view of the situation, If there is something that is dangerous or needs caution I'll put an attribute but if you need to know if your kids or dogs can go with you to GZ than check out the map.

  2. Some may not be attaching attributes because it is another step done after the cache page is put together.

    When I put my page together(still in progress), I noticed there were no attributes and found they needed to be added to the cache page.

    It is an extra step, perhaps overlooked by many.

    I think this is the main problem that some of the newer cachers don't realize. They get excited about getting the cache up tahtthey don't notice the option after the fact to add attributes.

  3. I met Mike the first time in SunRiver at Suzyfishn's Oktobercache event and then he came to one of our GEO meetings. He is a great person and will be truly missed. RIP friend.

  4. Lighters, firecrackers, smokes, ammo, nude pics of my ex, various food items, wedding bubbles, knives, salt?, religious tracts, golf balls and tees, business cards, old prescription drugs from my dead fathers medicine cabinet, illegal drug paraphernalia, McToys, condoms, sex toys and various other things.

    (It's a large bag)

    :laughing:

     

    ;) I want to find some of your caches ;)

  5. You can find SE Portland geocachers at http://www.georegon.com. Friendly group, lots of events.

     

    I second this, There are alot of us that show up at these events, There is actually one this Saturday I believe at North Clackamas Park. I wouldn't mind giving a hand if time frames are right. Ilso agree to stick to the larger sized caches until you can figure out some of the hiding techniques that are around.

  6. It is out there in profusion because the device manufacturers have TFTC as an option in the paperless caching software.

     

    C'mon now, I can't possibly be the only one who noticed the mass influx of newbie generated "TFTC" logs and couldn't figure it out. Or am I? :)

     

    Or it could be Laziness or a lack of experience. I also have noticed this.

  7. I would just like to add a word of caution to my fellow cachers. Please be careful when out there, this person sounds unstable at best, and I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if there were an altercation on the horizon. He/She/It doesn't seem to have the firmest grasp on reality, and often people who act out so over-zealously, often can be quite dangerous if confronted in person.

    Like Hrethgir said, Bring it on wacko!!!

     

    It sounds like some one has been eating or smoking too many of the mushrooms they photograph. :)

  8. Walk softly and carry a big stick, or a handgun, whichever you prefer.

     

    I prefer the handgun...

    me too. Specially after stumbling on to a homeless person sleeping in the trees behind a hotel.

    So you needed a gun as you intruded into someone elses "home".

    That must be why burglars need to carry guns too, just in case they are confronted by an occupant of the residence in which they are intruding.

     

    I didn't know the woods were someones home that you could intrude on :D , And you never know what they could be on.. So yes I prefer my handguns also.... :D
