We took $10 and left a cheapo pencil sharpener. As I noted in my log, it didn't feel right, but everyone else did it. We still feel guilty - just because everyone else does it doesn't make it the right thing to do, so we plan to go back this weekend to leave something nicer. Bets that the number watching this cache increased because jrav announced a willingness to "do the right thing"? Anyone know? -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

quote:Originally posted by Paddy Yenar:If wcgreen posts the coordinates of the table as "_GPS accuracy at the waypoint was 42 feet_", does this mean the table will be in the parking lot? No. It means that your table will be 8 wcgreen lengths from wherever I'm sitting. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

We can only pray that the maturity and moral clarity that you so clearly have will some day be ours. [This message was edited by cacheKidds on November 25, 2002 at 12:16 PM.] You posted to a public forum. When one does so, one gets all sorts of opinions. There is *no* guarantee that all those opinions will be agreeable to one's point of view. You could have originally posted "I just found a log on my cache page that includes rude language and a photo of an obsence gesture. I think I should tell Jeremy and delete the log/photo. Is that the best thing to do?" We're all able to picture an obsence gesture without a photo to prompt us. (That some of us might imagine a different gesture doesn't affect your question.) You have your responses. You decided on your actions and performed them. What more do you want? -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

Okay--now that Acceptable Risk has everyone watching his shop, who is out geocaching? -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

Grumble, grumble...bunch of males...grumble..don't know what do to with bread...grumble...men! Okay--here's what should be done with old bread: French Toast: beat an egg with some milk and sugar or honey. Dip the bread in the liquid. Fry it in butter. If you can handle that, you could move on to bread pudding. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

I'm having the same problem. Although the upload page shows several photos, I only see one listed in the drop-down menu (and it's not the one I want.) Yes, I have logged out and in again. I even changed browsers. No, I don't have a solution. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

'neko Nothing in November works. Dec. 14th works. Do you only want a lunch or will Bella Notte let you place a cache in their kitcher? -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

quote:Originally posted by The Leprechauns: Devious minds think alike. My fantasy not-found log for that cache would read as follows: "Drove to work today. Did not see a yellow jeep although traffic was heavy. I'll try again tomorrow!" "The other day upon the stair, I found a cache that wasn't there, I found it once again today. I wish, I wish it'd go away." -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

At the risk of "piling on", if you didn't find the cache, you did not find the cache. Finding where it ought to be, or where you think it should be, or where the hider may have put it originally is not the same thing as finding the actual cache. If you absolutely cannot abide having a "not found" on your list, don't log it at all. Pretend you did something else during those hours....tell everyone that you watched "My Mother the Car" reruns or waxed some fruit or maybe just took a regular ol' hike in the woods. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

quote:Originally posted by Sissy-n-CR: Isn't the whole idea of there being a log in a cache is to prove that you were there? If so, _any_ proof you were at a virtual should suffice. All of the virtuals we've logged so far--that I recall anyway--says that we have to email a particular word from a sign or something as proof. No special equipment required. There are people who surf the 'Net looking for websites of places where virtuals are placed so they can glean the correct answers without actually visiting the sites themselves. This is why I run a Google search on my virtuals before posting them--I want to make certain that people who travel to the virtual get credit and the surfers can't. Granted, photos can (and are) also swipped from websites and submitted as "proof" of actual visit. Of course, a comparision of the submitted photo to the Web versions can detect this scam. Comparing a submitted fact to a Web-gleaned fact isn't as easy. If a hider wants to only require a photo, that's fine with me. I don't carry a camera and, should I go to that cache, I'll enjoy the area for what it is without any need to chalk up another find. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

quote:Originally posted by jonboy:While it is your cache and you do set the parameters, I resent when cache owners expect me to post pictures on the internet when I have neither a digital camera or the ablity to post pictures. Some cachers assume that we are all IT proffessionals with all the hightech gizmos and imply some kind of deficiency on others part if they are not. I agree that some provision should be made for those of us who lack all the expensive toys. For this reason, I do not do virtual caches. jonboy I fail to see how requiring a photo to log a virtul cache implies anything about you or anyone else. That Saks requires more money for a coat purchase that K-Mart does not imply that you (or anyone else) are poor. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

As none of them seem to turn up on the thread Markwell pointed me towards. Both my husband and I have Vasque Sundowners that we bought at least 8 years ago. They're strudy, comfortable, and rugged.
