What rock?

Not sure about the OP, but I know I'm not exactly encouraging mine to get more involved As for the other, I'm sure the replies would be along the lines of "yeah, you could have probably done all that this past weekend if you'd not gone caching!" Yep. So you can imagine what our house looks like. Oh, well. That stuff will be there. The caches may not.

We're a husband wife team from NE Kansas. I enjoy the forums and my husband does the techi stuff. We both love the hunt and the people we have met are terrific. Just a suggestion to get hubby involved.....start talking about: 1. painting the house 2. cleaning the garage 3. cleaning the basement 4. landscaping the yard 5. tiling the bathroom 6. refinishing the woodwork 7. recarpeting the floor 8. etc. 9. etc. 10. etc. Caching will start sounding much more interesting.

I don't like the way it is set up. Why have categories? Just leave them as locationless, virtual, earth etc. and you pick out the ones you want to hunt like we did when they were under geocaching.com. Caches aren't grouped by categories like under brush or behind rocks. Waymarks don't need to be either.

A couple of weeks ago we found a dog skeleton and last weekend a dead raccoon. Nothing too stange or exciting but I think I am glad about that!

As long as it wasn't a rogue cacher throwing away his fast food bag after taking the McToy for swag

We are fairly new cachers and have a couple of caches where we have logged more than one DNF. We know they are still there because there have been subsequent logs. This got me wondering, what is the most DNFs someone has logged before they finally found the cache?

That was smallpox. Just because you aren't paranoid doesn't mean they aren't watching you.

Oh my gosh! Big brother is watching me lift the cover on the light posts at Wally World?

We've done one night cache. We were trying for a FTF and had located the cache on Google earth and thought it would be a quick & easy. It was off a path beside a lake. It was creepy and made worse by spooking sleeping geese. That gets your heart rate up It felt like something from Blair Witch Project. We were 2TF. Oh well.

Yep. Wish there was a way we could put in a time/date search for reading the forums. If the comp. glitches out while reading them, you can't re-login for the same posts. You can only get the ones since then.

54 and 53. Our kids who cache under their own handles are 21, 19, and 17.

I have an idea! Groundspeak can sell some new tags. They can call them Sitting Bugs.

The real treasure you will find is the time you spend with your son. It is time our teenagers still spend with us.

Yes! Exactly. There is still a kid trapped in this fat ole body. I am loving being a kid again. (And losing some weight as a bonus prize!)

Congrats! We are jealous. We actually stood on our first cache and still didn't find it without help! And you go out and find a micro on your first try. Way to go!

Ok. We just watched the couple walk right past the clue box and flag on the bridge. That hits too close to our first geocaching experience! And we had a GPS! Someone was watching us.

We always read the mission tag if there is one and only pick up bugs that we can help with their mission or that have been stuck in a particular cache for awhile. Why move them if you aren't helping them?

I agree somewhat, but considering some of the people on the show they would get lost with a GPS as well. Might be even funnier to see them figuring out how to use a GPS. I have to agree. Watching them learn to use the thing would be a hoot. I remember what we must have lookedlike our first few times out! Heck, we haven't cached that long. We still look like a hoot. Make it even better. Hide their next clue in a cache without those red and yellow flags. Did anyone see survivor the other night? The way the guy followed the clues on exile island made me think he must geocache.

If you were searching for a cache in a tree with a kudzu vine I'm surprised you found the tree let alone the cache! I once read about a couple that bought a house from an estate at auction. The back yard was covered with kudzu. When they cleaned it away, they found an inground pool!

We grew up in Ohio but we are now in Kansas. Go Buckeyes!

Our first cache was 9ft into the woods on the north side of a rock. We looked for at least 45min at every rock within a 20yd radius with no luck. As we were returning to the car we met an experienced cacher who pointed out that you don't usually see a pile of sticks with a rock on top. Sure enough all we had to do was move the rock and a couple of sticks to spot the ammo can. That is also how we got our handle. There is one cache we have been out 4 times hunting for it. If we had read all the logs first we would have known we didn't have to cross the stream and get muddy We haven't given up yet!

We just picked up Reino's Alaska Cache N Dash TB in Kansas. How did such a cool TB end up here! We feel honored just to help it head home. What a neat history for it. Ed has already glued the pieces on that were still there.
