It's a badge, as described, per staff.

I can see that the reviewer first disabled the listing with an explanation of ratings for events, a specific request for D 1 and a request to reconsider and lower the terrain rating. Cache was resubmitted and published. I cannot know for certain, but I strongly suspect that at publication the D rating was 1, and the T rating was lower. I see a NA on the listing. I suspect that no reviewer will act, because D and T ratings are advisory only, and arbitrating them from a distance would be difficult/impossible.

I'm a fairly prolific hider, and like you, use a GPSr to measure distance. Typically I'm looking for at least .12 miles / 194 meters from my proposed cache site to any other physical stages/caches. This allows for error. If I were looking at exactly the perfect spot, and it was reading close to the 528ft limit, I'd take coords, then go home and check with Geocaching.com if the other coords were visible on the site, or with Boulter if they were stage coords that I had. This can be done in the field via smartphone, if you've got cell connection. I've only placed one cache spontaneously. Usually I take coords, go home, do some mapping, notice what other caches are in the area already, do coords checks for saturation, think about the right container and then go back. If I'm not interested enough to ever go back, two trips to hide, I probably don't want to own that hide anyway ;-)

This is an automated site function, visible all over the site. Any search that starts with a location will provide a list of caches, and include a distance column. If you want to check a set of coords for distance to other caches, you can put those coords into the Search function. This will display distance to the listing coords only. A site that comes very close to yielding the same distance is theBoulter Coordinate Distance Calculator. I often provide hiders with this link, particularly when they're hiding and placing caches too close to each other. You could also use it to check when placing a new cache near a staged cache when you do have those coords.

The GPS in the phone works fine without a phone signal - just like your Garmin, it receives signal from satellites. If your gps can get a signal, a smart phone can (although the one difference between the two is space/weight allowed for the gps antenna - the dedicated gps will be better). But the smart phone cacher will have to see your caches in advance and save them to the phone for later use, using an app that allows this. Many don't know this, and not all smartphone caching apps will do it, either. I don't believe the current free app download from Geocaching.com will. The previous, "Classic" app did.

November 6-13, 2015 last years trip. Have you looked at logs on the A.P.E. cache in that time frame? someone who was on that tour could provide info on how it was. There are a bunch, one of the logs mentions 26 cachers in the group.

If you are asking about a Souvenir, there's a single United Kingdom Souvenir. You can see available souvenirs in the Help Center For purposes placing caches, the UK is broken into a number of regions. You can see a map of those regions here For all things geocaching in the UK, you'll find theGAGB site very useful.

I expect it's a question of motivation. The 3 who founded Geocaching.com spent their own money and their own time getting the site up and going. My recall is that 2 of the 3 were still employed full time outside of Geocaching.com when I started reviewing, and the last of the 3 to be able to quit an outside job, and come to work full time at Geocaching.com wasn't until 2007. For those years, they worked two jobs (the Geocaching.com job being way way more than simply full-time), supporting the site, themselves, their families, and each other. I just don't see anybody doing that to create a non-profit. Maybe for True Cause - beating cancer, refugee relief, etc, but to support a game? The motivation to slog through all those hours, that much time, essentially giving your money away for years is the ultimate ownership of a successful business. Not the stewardship of a non-profit that supports a game.

Challenge Caches Regional Geocaching Policies Wiki The Challenge cache article is in the Help Center. The Help Center is linked from the nav options at the bottom right of every page of Geocaching.com. You can get to the Challenge cache article from the listing guidelines, at the end of the Mystery section, where it's linked in the last sentence of that section,"...please review the additional specifications in our Help Center. The Regional Geocaching Policies Wiki is linked in the first sentence of the listing guidelines.

Action log does something: NM log sets the NM attribute Temp Disable Log disables the cache Archive log archives the cache (qcache owners archive, then change their minds, and delete the archive log. Cache remains archived) Drop log puts a TB into listing etc

Deleting any log deletes its count, both on the listing where posted, and as a log count of whatever type for the log owner. Deleting any action log does NOT undo the action. Site is consistent in this regard.

Will this be another platinum member perk? If you were, are, or were ever going to be a platinum member, you wouldn't need to ask that question.

There's a history of this site in the Help Center. There was some controversy at the time about a site to host listings that would try to generate income, ie operate commercially. (Not that it did, much, at first.) But I believe that had no seen the need to create a commercially viable site back then, there would likely be little or no geocaching now. There have been numerous attempts at non-profit geocaching sites. Some still around, sort of. Because they run without income they have no features, no staff, no one minding the store, most of the time. Because they have no features, they have no (few) listings. And the listings that they do have are years old, belonging to people who have not logged on those sites in years; the caches have not been present for years, either.

Windows 10 firefox 47.0.1 greasemonkey off or on In the upper right of your private profile in the first of the nav boxes, there's a "log out" link. It does not log out. It sends you the search page, still logged in. Other log outs do work, but not this one. (In general lately, I find logging out and back again in full of odd re-directs. You used to be able to be on any page, log out/log in and you'd be back on the page where you started. Now it's a crap shoot. Clicking sign out may take to a sign in, or maybe on the main Search page, or sometimes to a 404 - File Not Found All the versions of the 404 error page that I've seen include a sign in link. When you sign in from there, you always end up on Search, regardless of where you started....)

At one time, getting permission to place a physical geocache in a U.S. National Park was quite difficult. Certainly not possible for the traveling, passing through, vacationer. It's still not easy. However, there are physical caches in National Parks now. Including (in Florida) those placed by geocachers who are not NPS employees, ie, just local cachers. I link to two Geotours, caches mostly physical, both in U.S. National Parks, and hosted by the NPS, Captain John Smith GeoTour Find Your Park GeoTour

On the trackable listing page,the trackable owner can see the tracking number. It's at the bottom of the navigation box in the upper right of the listing: Trackable Options Add a Log Entry Edit This Trackable Upload an Image Print Info Sheet View in Google Earth Tracking Number: xxxxxx <-----------------------------

I continue to receive these. Now I'm getting most as duplicate emails: [LOG] Bookmark: IT-gubben found Väderkvarnar/windmill (Archived) (Locked) (Locationless (Reverse) Cache) [LOG] Bookmark: IT-gubben found Väderkvarnar/windmill (Archived) (Locked) (Locationless (Reverse) Cache)

Your two containers can be any distance from each other. They EACH must be 528ft (one tenth mile) from any physical part of any OTHER cache.

Per the original Clayjar D/T rating system 4 = climb requiring use of hands ...

Greasemonkey on/off has no effect. Windows machine, Firefox 47.0.1 I have no email notification of a message from Aug 22. I see no warning icon of it on my public or private profile. The Message center warning does appear on all other GC.com pages I've opened - just not the two pages I use most: geocaching.com/my/default.aspx geocaching.com/profile/ Had I not opened the PQ page, I'd not have seen it. OOPS, edited to add that the message content may be the issue, many lines of: noreferral'target='_blank'class='external-link'>2.gif' rel'=nofollow noopener crashes my browser, and shuts down the message center There may be really nothing to see here beyond mangled a message With regard to the email notification, at under 24 hours, I'm prepared to blame my ISP, or the message itself, though as far as I can see, everything else Geocaching.com related is coming through PDQ.

Today I received notification of a 11/05/2002 log on a Locationless. I report this, as I assume it's related to the notification problem generally, which apparently is not yet resolved.

Edited to add: Just looked up your device, it states, "the eXplorist GC has seamless connection to geocaching.com". So you ought to be able to do load at least individual caches. they also mention pocket queries, seems like it ought to work...Sorry, I've got nothing really. Check the documentation? All of my original post was about older eXplorist model and irrelevant.

I continue to receive notification of found logs on Locationless. The date range has expanded to include Nov 1,2 and 3 of 2002. I assume this is tied up in the issue of current notifications (mostly of publish logs, my assumption) being buggy.

I just looked at the Netherlands queue. There are 4 caches that have been on queue for a week. There are a couple hundred more recently submitted, mostly submitted in the last few days. (I note a tendency for people to create a cache page, and NOT to submit it for review - then finally notice that they need to click "Submit for Review" and then blame the reviewer for "poor response". ) There's nothing that exceeds 10 days (1.5 weeks) without an initial review. Summer really is the busy season for reviewing. Relax, and try to be patient. Once it's published, the fun will begin!

I've finally passed beyond fixing my computer with a hammer, but I do still sometimes want to adjust my printer with an axe. Thanks to ku for discovering a browser solution. I doubt that would have occurred to me. I'd be sharpening the axe.....
