  1. There is nothing wrong with doing a good deed by replacing a wet log sheet. There needs to be more good acts now a days. The next finder will be happy to see a dry log.
  2. Put new logs books in them and publish them for yourself. If you enjoy the places and think others will to, then go for it.
  3. Sometimes people place caches to honor anothers caching milestones so they give them the coords before it is published that way they get the FTF honors. I see it happen alot.
  4. I am coming along and saying if you have a caching friend that lives in the area that will watch over it then place the cache. I go to Nevada once a year and I have caches placed there that a local will check for me if anything happens to any of the caches. So far there has never been a problem but they are not P&G caches. If you find a spot you would like to place a cache while on vacation then place one if you have a person that will keep a eye on it everything should be fine.
  5. I had map problems lastnight and this morning but my PQs ran fine today.
  6. After reading all of the post, I would have just grabbed it, signed it, then let the muggle have it. Kidding, but I am sure that is what goes thru the cachers head after his find gets deleted.
  7. So says the Mason... What is wrong with being a bricklayer? Spoilsport. If I have to spell it out, it's not as funny. Google search result: mason secret handshake edit: IBTL^2 Spelled out to you The secret order to this mason is a bricklayer. To me, I am a mason which is a bricklayer but I know you will some how prove me wrong about that too. Uh.... I think he was just kidding all along. Unless I missed something, there is no need for you to take this so seriously. Oh I am sure you are right, he was kidding all along. Why else would he circle it in red and say if he has to spell it out to me it wouldn't be as funny. I get it, it was funny. He circled it in read and said that if he has to spell it out to me it wouldn't be as funny because it was obvious that you didn't get that he was kidding.
  8. Then don't. There are still some amazing caches to be had in that area. You'll walk away with some great memories, and the local economy gets your dollars. Sounds like a "Win - Win" to me. The only change will be the sheer volume of smileys you will accrue during your venture. What you continue to propose is that other cachers change how they choose to go caching in an effort to make some sort of point. What you are ignoring is that we each get to decide how we want to have fun playing this game. That would be like making plans to go to the Rolling Stones and finding out they cancelled but still going to see the tribute band playing instead that is playing instead of them. I mean, they will still play the same songs it just won't be what you was hoping to go for. Yeah I think I would just call them and cancel. They will understand.

  11. Sad time in my life then. I was grieving a death in my family so alot of my hobbies went to the way side for a bit. Thanks for bring it up. Ah, but of course. Because I knew about that private personal detail in your life, and I obviously dug it up just to cause you pain. Probably. I think your particular tangent of the thread went south when you chose to take a potshot at CM for his caches per day and suggested he may need to dust off his GPS. Oh I get it now. It's a click thing. If you don't know the secert hand shake your not part of the club. So says the Mason... Secret handshakes aside, if hypothetically someone's coming across as a jerk less than polite, yeah, that is often the point at which a threat starts to go south. (edit: IBTL) What is wrong with being a bricklayer?

It's a click thing. If you don't know the secert hand shake your not part of the club. When you point out that you don't have to worry about gas cause you don't go out as often to look for them so you wouldn't have to toss the GPS in the lake. Then it's a bad thing. I got it now.
  13. The moment I brought up gas to cache ratio on the E.T. Highway, it sure went south pretty quick from there. Did I miss something?
  14. The moment I start gauging my caching experiance on the "investment" I make in a tank of gas (using the "cents a caches" ratio) is the moment that I archive my caches and throw my GPRr into the lake. Well at 0.3014 caches/day, you really don't have to worry about wasting gas now do you. Don't throw that GPS in the lake yet, there is no need. Just keep wiping the dust off of it. Well, as long as we're resorting to caching statistics as a quantification of the worth of a cacher's opinion, your longest slump is a month longer than Castle Mischief's... Sad time in my life then. I was grieving a death in my family so alot of my hobbies went to the way side for a bit. Thanks for bring it up.

  16. You didn't happen to have a run in with a snow plow? Well there was no more snow left when my New York City cacher and myself went so snowplows was no problems. We did have a talk with a county cop and a military cop, which both where great people and was wondering why we was pulling on and off the road every tenth of a mile. They just said becareful and enjoy ourselves.
  17. The fact that some geocachers considering repetitive numbers caching fun is hardly a compelling argument for the proliferation of power trails without a consideration of the negative impact that they can have on the game. I can think of numerous activities enjoyed by groups of people that the participant consider to be fun that also have other groups of people that are vehement about the nature of that activity. Anyone that lives near a college campus has most likely been witness to excessive alcohol consumption, and the students that do so will probably tell you that they have a lot of fun doing it. Ask a parent of a student that's died of alcohol poisoning due to binge drinking and I suspect that you're going to get a strong opinion about drinking alcohol. There are some people that consider recreational drug use fun. There are some people that consider bullying fun. There are some people that think vandalism is fun. In many instances "having fun" comes with the expense of consequences to themselves or others that should not be ignored. Even people telling others how they should or shouldn't cache is fun. Snowball fights are fun until someones gets a eye put out. Edited for the word how not who.
  18. You have got to remember that some cachers like to cache more than three times a year and with the on going gas prices going higher every week/day, they sometimes enjoy getting out and doing a long cache run like the E.T Highway was so you can feel a little better for all the money you just spent on gas finding little plastic containers. 100 dollars in gas divided by 1021 caches = 10 cents a caches. Pretty good investment. I spent less than 100 dollars in gas so it was even a better investment that I will do again and again.
  19. I was one of the last groups out there on the E.T. Highway run and we stopped at the Little Ale'inn to get a bite to eat. I really felt bad for them. This whole time they thought everything was getting worked out and we had to tell them that there was a group coming by the next day pulling all of the caches. While we was waiting for our lunch, they was telling us that they ordered 100 pathtags to sell to cachers who was coming in. They hadn't gotten the order yet so they lost out on selling them for the Highway hunters. They was having such a great flow in buisness that they haven't had in along time. I hope cachers still go out for the Alien head caches since it starts next to the town.
  20. Sure they do. But they don't do them every tenth of a mile, in a straight line. The road out there wasn't just in a straight line, there was some curves too.
  21. I liked the movie too. Even enough to buy it. I even watched it on the plane on my way to Vegas last week. Made the flight go by faster.
  22. It is people like that that gets a cache page locked.
  23. I think you have a good idea going there. I hope you can make it happen.
  24. Best way to get them to like geocaching is to keep them away from the forums.
