They're as good as any other historical site. Here's a fantastic thread of photos from cemetery caches

NEVER!

Elated bug owner here, sharing my joy! I've had bugs vanish and reappear before, but I'm especially thrilled that my Klingnau Kamera may finally make it home! A newbie picked it up in June of 2008 and then vanished from play. Last week, more than 3.5 years later, a newbie (or possibly a sock) discovered it and created a cache just to help get it going again. It just got transferred at an event, and I changed its goal (originally a cache of mine, now archived) to a cache very near my house. I'd been caching less than a year when I released this bug. It got very close to home just before it disappeared, I had assumed for forever. Chances now look good for it to return shortly before my ten year cache-iversary! Anyone know where to get film developed??

Boldface and selective clipping mine. Just want to make sure people are aware of this before posting anything too slanderous.

Yeah, but then micros came along and fixed that. I haven't seen a George in a cache in about 3 years. I'll bet I saw about 50 of them in 2004. I see where you're going though, they're two different games on two different websites. Wheresgeorge however, never advocated anarchy. Well, geocaching would be the anarchist in the analogy. But still, we never advocated anarchy. Did we?

Remember when we ruined Where's George by changing the way dollars flowed? That was awesome.

Take that football helmet off of your head and go look at post #28. It has a picture of Sinise. (Dinosaurs can be such headaches sometimes ) Oh, I saw the pic, I just don't see the likeness.

I haven't read every post here, so sorry if this is a repeat, but: I don't see Sinise at all.

Based on the number, I thought this must be a bumped thread from five years ago.

Link seems to be broken. Here's a map centered on a cache near the roads mentioned. Cute series just east of Pac Man as well. Edit: And another northeast of that one.

The book is on my Amazon wishlist now. Not just for the geocaching. Maps are cool.

Somewhere on the Internet, a geodrinkers forum is once again alight with complaints about muggles and a flamewar about proper labeling and hiding techniques.

If you haven't already dumped Netflix, I see Splinterheads is streaming.

And if there was a hidden Dodge Journey nearby, you may have stopped a drunk driver!

There are a bunch of categories (like, a couple hundred) of things, like Peace Poles or Sit-By-Me Statues or Covered Bridges or Sundials. If you find something that fits a category, you take the coordinates and some pictures, get any information required by the category, and you create a waymark. This is just like what Locationless Caches used to be. Once a waymark is created, people can log visits on it. This part of the game hasn't proved as popular as it was hoped. Most waymarkers just do the posting of waymarks part.

Also, all cache pages have links to the nearest waymarks, and vice versa. And a premium membership on one gets you premium benefits on the other. Waymarking's PM features are the main reason I'm a PM right now.

Bumping this photo thread, too. I did this cache last week, very near these ruins of a 1850s lighthouse. It was demolished in the 1940s.

Bump, because I just got around to uploading these two to this cache page Ponder the epitaph and the dates on this one: Considering the stories behind stones like this is just part of what make cemeteries so interesting.

You presume that experienced cachers all agree. Some don't care, some think it's a sin and indicates what a horrible person you are in all aspects of life (I'm not exaggerating), and everything in between.

Well, you can't really know that, can you? I mean, someone who did have that complaint about computer memory wouldn't come here to say so.

I agree, but I guess that what was meant rather was that geocaching in the form the OP likes it is dying. Modern geocaching has got so much different from what it used to be. When I look at the caches that receive nowadays positive comments in logs, I most often think that what these people are for has no common intersection with what I am interested into. BTW: I have not yet encountered any positive aspect of the fast growth of geocaching in my area from my personal point of view. Cezanne I wouldn't say that way of caching is dying. It's just more work upfront than it was ten years ago, and that makes it less appealing. At least that's true for me.

Yes, the tools are there. But time was, you didn't need to waste time with tools. If there was a cache, chances were pretty good that the spot was worth visiting. I was in a relatively cache-light area this weekend, and it was nice to just load the GPS and go. I randomly hit two of the most convenient caches, and they were both great spots. Both 1/1s, too (though I take issue with at least one of those ratings). This isn't to say that I think the changes have killed or are killing geocaching. Toz's assessment sounds pretty accurate to me. But I personally participated and enjoyed it more when it was focused on parks and interesting areas. Contrary to other posters, my first year of finds were 80% great.

Very good idea! Bad idea...this is geocaching and not Waymarking. Challenges are part of geocaching. Waymarking has failed. Even Jeremy has expressed his disappointment at Waymarking's failure. Plus you can't enforce it once the challenge is accepted so why not just create something fun instead of making people jump through hoops. This is also not chess, but the example Challenge GS posted is to play a game of giant chess.

I'm not sure that challenges will have no wow factor. The up/down voting should cause the cream to rise and perhaps those with a big enough negative vote will get hidden. (Best Kept Secrets waymarks have always asked that premium members rate the waymarks and we would have liked it if Groundspeak would allow basic members to be able to rate the waymark as well). You are correct. I meant to say without a wow requirement.
