Was the "local forum" on this website, or another? You didn't say where.

This would take a lot of secret planning, and you couldn't post it as an event without ruining the secret. Flash Mob her. Everyone gets on their knee and bursts into song, asking her to marry you. I saw a proposal on Mobbed. A woman asked her long time boyfriend, but hers was an ultimatum. He had to marry her right then and there, or she walked away. They got married.

We don't have them around here, and I doubt we'd put up with an obviously bad idea. No digging. Whether you cover it or not. I wouldn't hesitate to send my reviewer a note on any hide that would ruin the sport for the rest of us.

Drive up caches. Power trails. Series. I'm not one of those. Started in 2002 and I'm under 1500 finds. There are cachers that find them to and from work and at lunch time too. And some people are just lucky enough to be retired and have the time.

If I want to cache with adults, I don't invite children. All my finds are recorded in one place. Then if I want to cache with children, I invite them along. I don't have children, so mostly my caching is adults only anyway. I just love the way people come here and try to interest people into leaving a well established, long standing, tried and true website and ask if they want to come join another one that hasn't even been designed. You are not the first and you won't be the last. But how would this be better than what we have right here? Do you have a whole team of volunteers ready to start reviewing caches to make sure they are properly placed, or did you plan on just using caches from this website? Because you can't do that. Or are you just trying to get a group of childless people together to go caching?

No. I would not be interested. Sounds too much like caching for porn stars.

I read it through quickly. This game would not excite me. I don't want to battle with anyone.

I had one cache torched by delinquents. I had already replaced it twice, so I archived it and gave up on that park. Another one the ammo can was taken, but here's the weird part. They replaced it with a lock and lock. Everything else is intact. But I'm still not happy about it. Ammo cans aren't cheap. I had my own camouflage on it, so I'll keep my eyes open for a new cache with camo like mine on an ammo can.

Got this log on a difficult multicache I share with Mopar and GeoHo today: I have already emailed, received a reply, and have started a conversation with this new cacher, to offer assistance if needed, perhaps even to hold a welcome event for him.

Both? ;)

You also probably want to get a few more caches under your belt and decide if you're going to stick with the game, before you jump in whole hog. Having only 4 finds tells me you haven't even begun to learn what to keep in your backpack, let alone what to stock in your store. If I buy geocaching supplies, I'll buy them from Shop Groundspeak and help support my hobby. Edit to add: You won't be able to advertise on this site, without approval, so you should look into the link I posted up above.

You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. This is affecting the enjoyment of finding the cache how?

The info is in this list. You need to talk to Groundspeak. And you'd have a lot of competition. Including Shop Groundspeak itself.

I do like how what we used to call "lame", is being labeled as "pointless". It's a much better term than lame. (But "Des palourdes sont mortes" will live in infamy!)

Thought I was getting close with embra's post back in 2003 in this thread. but his link won't open on my phone.

2002 2007 2008 2004 2003 2002 One would think that Garmin would have fixed this problem at the start, at the factory, before so many people before so many people had this issue. I am still searching for the old thread one poster told how to fix it ourselves.

Maybe there are a few closer to real. I don't watch any of them. Because they take 5-6 minutes of something that might be interesting, and show it over and over and over for the rest of the show. First in the beginning segment, again just before the commercials, again when they come back from the break, and repeat. All you really have to do is watch the preview, and you've seen the whole show. And that goes for all of them.

None of those shows are real. They fired some guy from Storage Wars for telling that the show was staged. I work two jobs in one, and my other job is the self storage next door. We had one of those auctions. It's hardly like what I've seen of the show at all. Reality TV is not real. Many strange things have been found by geocachers. If they all came to the forums, you might get someone who has stumbled onto one. But even all the moonshinin' in Appalachia is a stereotypical myth perpetuated by comics and TV shows. Anyway, nowadays, they call them micro-breweries and micro-distilleries.

For me, the first hint comes with the cache page. If it is located in a parking lot, or close to a building, I pretty much know I don't want to touch it. If I couldn't tell if it was safe, I would walk away to cache another day. No cache is worth being electrocuted by mistake.

None of those things would bother me. I did give up on planning caching during a roadtrip from NYC to Baltimore recently. The map was so cluttered with pointless micros that I gave up on making a PQ and just stopped randomly a couple of times to see what was nearby. EXACTLY THAT!!!!

Frustration from the plethora of roadside park and grabs and parking lot hides has made me think of walking away many times. I get tired of driving to caches and driving away without getting out of the car. I'm hoping the new GPS that holds cache descriptions will get rid of this issue. I usually cache with only waypoints. The app only works if you have service, or pre-loaded a list. None of the issues you mentioned would make me stop. As for DNFs, I rarely go back for a second try. But mostly because I rarely cache close to home. I go caching to see new places. Even with a DNF, I got to see the place already. The container isn't that important to me. The only thing holding me back now, that might bring about the demise of my caching, is my health. But I'm workingon that.

Oh, and somewhere way back when in these forums, someone posted how to fix it yourself, but you need nimble fingers.

Just smack the left side of the GPS gently but firmly against your left palm. Works with my last 4 Garmin Legends. All had the same exact issue. It's a factory defect of a loose connection they never seem to get fixed. I just upgraded to the Oregon 550T.

Your cemetery cache page is well written and very respectful. You've provided a history lesson. It looks like a good cache. I am not a fan of parking lot hides, but I see no complaints on that one, and you keep it well maintained. No problems here.

Having the right equipment really helps a lot and makes it a lot more fun. (OK, that one is fishing, but it's near a cache)
