If that's not enouogh of a hint, I'll post something in ROT-13 for you. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

Welcome to the forums. It's good to have more Kentucky geocachers here. I went to Chapman's on Hwy 60. So far, the soles have survived two long hikes and a couple of creek fordings. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

quote:Originally posted by Markwell:You should try it with http://www.lostoutdoors.com/newmap.html. Markers for the cache, ability to add multiple markers (like the parking coordinates), and you get the topo maps as well. Also useful when placing a cache near other caches. You can mark the coordinates of each one and see how close the new one is to the others. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

You want thousands of people to send in their home addresses, personal info, and credit card numbers so a small number of people might be spared the possible loss of a few bucks' worth of plastic and trinkets? No, thank you. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

quote:Originally posted by Sissy-n-CR:Oh, and yes, we _do_ carry ammo cans in case the container needs replacing. We carry cache repair items in it and if a container needs replacing we swap contents of each container, clean the cache items that need it, trade for ruined items, and fix'er up the best we can and move on. I understand that now the cache doesn't fit the discription give on the cache page, but is that so terribly wrong? If nothing else, the owner gets a free ammo can out of this deal. If park maintenance knows to ignore 'transparent Rubbermaid containters with "Geocache" painted on them in pink enamel paint', then an ammo can will trigger suspicions (and possibly a call to the bomb squad. After all, my caches are hidden in urban/suburban parks.) 'A free ammo can' isn't much of a trade if my cache gets investigated or blown up because of it. As I said earlier, should you ever find one of my caches in poor condition, please limit your assistance to a prompt e-mail to me. I'll handle any container issues. If this upsets you, my apologies, but I'd rather be on good terms with the local park managers/maintainers than you. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

I want a Nudibranch button. I take my nudibranch with me on every geocaching trip. Here he is in his hunter orange outfit: Nudibranch -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

quote:Originally posted by BrianSnat: quote:But which parent is going to be pleased that their child found a cigar in a cache and tried it? What parent is going to send thier child off, unsupervised, on a cache hunt. It would be irresponsible. That type of parent will have more worries down the road than their kid finding a single cigar in a cache. Depends on what you consider a "child" here. I'm think teenagers--driving age (16 yrs USA) going out on a cache hunt alone or maybe pre-teens seeking a cache at a park while the family is picnicking there or in the neighborhood. If the parents did a good job in the previous 10+ years of their children's lives, there is little to worry about. Odds are those children have had plenty of opportunity to get tobacco/alcohol/whatever already. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

quote:Originally posted by Team StitchesOnQuilts: Sure, we parents should watch our kids 24/7, and most of us try. But the fact is, as kids grow up, they have to be allowed to use their own judgement, so that they *develop* their own judgement. When my kids are in their teens, I expect to be able to trust them to open a cache themselves, and it would be really nice not to worry that they might filch something like booze or tobacco to experiment with later. I raised five children (and I really doubt smoking is that "vanishingly rare" in your local high schools and nearby parks.) What you seem to be saying is "I trust my kids but not if there's something tempting in a cache." Perhaps they aren't as trustworthy as you think. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

quote:Originally posted by Kouros: Likewise, leaving a tobacco related product for children to potentially find is equally wrong. I'd hate to think that any kid started smoking just because of Geocaching. [sARCASM] Hey--let's ignore my mom's cigarettes laying over there on the table and the pack my dad left in the car and all those packs that our friends have in their pockets and let's ignore all the convenience stores that don't card teenagers and let's go hiking. I hear people sometimes hide cigars in plastic boxes in the woods. [/sACARSM] -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

quote:Originally posted by ClayJar:Actually, I'd __********REALLY********__ love it if I could have the *encrypted* hints on the pocket query cache "pages". Half the fun is actually having to decode the hint (at least for me), and I can't do that at all if I'm using my PDA. You know, my birthday is coming up in just under three weeks... it'd be the perfect birthday present if I had encrypted hints in the (fleece vest) pocket queries. Okay, I'll go to sleep now. Let me join you in your request and I'd rather have this in time for your birthday than mine. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

quote:Originally posted by Sissy-n-CR: However, I'm curious just how many cachers carry a log. You left off an option: Other than in the cache log book and the cache page, I don't log my finds. I might note the location of the area, especially if I want to hike there again, but I don't memorialize the find in any way. To be, it's the doing that's important, not the paper trail. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

quote:Originally posted by Sissy-n-CR: quote:Originally posted by wcgreen:Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee that your "quality cache in a durable comtainer half-way around the world from the hider's home" will stay that way. Personally, I think a finder has a responsiblity to the next finder. Like trading fairly, not just taking everything in the box, putting everything back in the box like it's supposed to be, hiding it as well as he found it, following the hider's instructions, etc. I think a good portion of finders try to leave the cache better than they found it. Agreed. This, however, is not the same as maintaining abandoned, forgotten, orphaned, or poorly thought-out caches. quote:I find it sad that fellow cachers wouldn't help each other out. Or promote the concept. Not everyone can carry spare ammo cans, spiffy trade goods, log books, etc. with them. The responsibility should lie more with the hider than those who may (or may not) try to find. After all, it's the hider's cache. It's one thing to help. Kudos to you for your volunteer efforts. It's another thing to have the responsibility for a cache dumped on the finder/locals/whomever without warning. Blanche Dubois didn't get very far on the kindness of strangers and neither do many orphaned or ill-considered caches. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green

I never have a problem helping out with a cache. We carry supplies just for that. Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee that your "quality cache in a durable comtainer half-way around the world from the hider's home" will stay that way. The hider can't maintain it, not every place has locals, and you aren't able to travel to every needy cache. -- wcgreen Wendy Chatley Green
