Assuming the cache named in the title of this thread is the one which cannot be found, I am the cache owner. Just contact me through gc.com and I will be glad to help you find it. I am 95% sure it is in place because it has been found by several people recently.

I am experiencing the same difficulty described above. The left side of the page is truncated regardless of what method I use to try to print the cache page or how I try to format/setup the page.

Unfortunately, I also am one of the "1%" who apparently have problems with using the 'Map It' feature. As the previous post mentioned, I try to scoll and the word "parsing" appears. Nothing else happens. It has been like this for several months. I have tried the solutions suggested with respect to IE7 which I use. I am having the same problem on two different computer. The first unit is a Dell laptop running XP and has Computer Associates antivirus. The second unit is a Toshiba laptop running Vista and Norton antivirus. If the good folks at gc.com cannot recreate the problem, I might be willing to send them one of my computers so they can view it themselves! They would have to send it back.

I try to check my hides regularly. I am continually amazed at how I often have to "find" my own cache hides because they have not been replaced where they originally were hidden. Also, I am still surprised at how often my cache containers are not camo'd as I had originally left them - regardless of what camo material I use it seems that a few caches are always exposed. I've accepted that as part of the "game" and just do the best I can to keep the caches which I hide in "good working order."

Social Comment: My favorite (and the closest) national park is the Great Smoky Mountains. There are plenty of ways to enjoy the park and plenty of ways to hurt yourself - none of these require a GPS. Question: Has anyone started placing (or tried to place) a physical cache in a national park with the permission of the NPS? If so, was the effort successful? I would really like to know the GC number so that I can read the cache page.

I have a question about #11. Does this preclude hiding "members-only" caches? Or are those caches considered available to the public? Just wondering.

Here's something else to be cautious about if you are allergic. If someone burns the vines - for example, vines on logs in a campfire - and the smoke "encompasses" you, then you can get poison ivy from the smoke! There are several good products (e.g., lotions) available which you can use to prevent poison ivy even if exposed to it. One example is a product called Buji block and I am sure you can find others at local camping stores.

But I'll be in Knoxville and won't be able to attend. For what it's worth, I'll definitely be in a mob and there may even be someone who has some "flash" about them.

The Disorganization of MidSouth Geocachers is so wonderfully disorganized that I am truly impressed it even managed a post on these forums! Fantastic job!! A 15 minute event is about the right length of time. Do we get a smiley if we call-in rather than showing up in person?

I cannot make a blanket statement that all LPC's should be banned or that every one should be allowed. At some point common sense has to rule. If the geo-site has any socially-redeeming value and the only way to hide a cache is a LPC, then do it as long as appropriate permission is obtained. On the other hand, placing a LPC in a parking lot prone to car theft is probably not wise since the cacher is likely to look quite suspicious to any security people (especially if no permission was obtained). My 2-cents, worth what you paid for it (nothing).

The choice is obvious. Only one reviewer combines all of the qualities of being smart, witty, courteous, debonair, funny, sensitive, trustworthy, understanding, and he needs a walking stick with a frog on it! Of course, I'm talking about the one and only: MAX CACHER He's Tennessee's favorite son!

My geocaching hero in West Tennessee is Chibongo. I have been truly amazed to find someone who is so kind and who shows so much joy to everyone around her. And she is a top-notch cacher with a "never-give-up" attitude which helps a lot when I feel like giving up. We are very lucky to have her in Tennessee! Why she hangs around with me I'll never know!

My experience has been that it depends on who finds the geocoin. Most cachers will move the coin to another place if they know that is what you want done. I usually place a note with my coin together in a small plastic bag. The note simply asks that they coin be moved and logged. This seems to work pretty well. Of course, you will also find that some folks collect coins and will keep it no matter what your wishes are. One trick that works is to buy geocoins which are readily available (not limited editions!) since collectors are less likely to covet these coins.
