  1. Many micros deter me. Also, I am not too eager to look for ones hidden on the sides of busy highways and in the medians of Interstates.

    Snakes, bugs, skunks, and poison oak/ivy do not deter me at all. I like those kind of caches. Throw some hunters in the mix too.

  2. Closest not found is 3.5 miles and it's a regular cache. There are just three out of the 20 that are regular caches and we just have not gotten around to them. The one closest looks pretty cool.

     

    Two virtuals. One costs money--though I still want to it because it's a good museum. The other requires pictures from at least for different places. A multi-virt.

     

    One multi that is a very long walk. Actually it is a virt as well. We'll do it once the weather is cooler.

     

    The rest are micros in parking lots and similar venues. I doubt we'll make special trips for these.

     

    11.5 miles is the one with the greatest distance from us.

  3. When my father started school (circa 1918) being left-handed, as he was, put him in a category of witches and such. So his teacher tied his left hand behind his back for the rest of the school day every day. He ended up mixed up -- some things he did righty, some lefty, some ambedextrous.

     

    That happened to me in the 1970s. I actually had a teacher that forced me to bat right-handed becuase it was too difficult to pitch to me. That did not help my batting average at all.

  4. I think this topic is horrible. You people need to become a little more educated about snakes and how to avoid bites then be fearfull of them. In my 35+ years I have tramped through the woods and around lakes/swamps/ponds I have encounted dozens of poisonous snakes. Never once have I ever "had" to kill one and I have had lots of close encounters and stikes my way. There are ways to avoid getting bit even if you are standing over the top of one, you just have to stay calm and use your head.

    I completely agree.

  5. I do log my DNFs. Informing the cache owner and the rest of the community is important enough in itself, but my biggest reason to log them is documenting my own private geocaching history. It's nice to read years later (and even before!) my old logs and remember certain trips I made here and there.

    Great point. I agree with that completely.
