Often couples/siblings/friends have "secret codes" based on previously established timelines/agreements about certain events. For example: Dinner at the In-Laws, two hours in and a kick under the table is the signal to leave. Wedding reception of disliked coworker, you agree to stay for the speeches and cake then leave...no signal needed. So when it comes to Geocaching, who has an agreement with their CachingPartner regarding how long they will hunt before acknowledging a DNF? We have had to come up with an "agreement" after our experience at GCT26W. The Cache was located within 15m of the coordinates (direction unknown). If there was snow cover we would have to dig...there was snowcover. It was -12 but sunny when we made the hike and started to dig/poke around. The moon was rising and the sun was setting...my Caching Partner could not give up the hunt- despite the dropping temp, isolated area with potential to get vehicle stuck and no cell service. We ended up leaving without finding the Cache, -14 temp and then stuck behind a broken down logging truck. (See log for pics and details). The need for an "agreement" became evident after the first 1.5hrs (winter safety vs finding the cache)...but the "dog to the bone" could not give it up. We have since agreed that we will mutally put in a good hour of hunting, then we will continue hunting only if we both agree to continue, otherwise we 'll suck it up and log a DNF. Anyone else have "agreements" around hunting timelines?

Ouch! Well we certainly didn't see that coming!

Well I appreciate all of your responses. I have a friend who's daughter is allergic to PB so am very aware/conscious of the dangers. (FYI our school does not permit PB or any items that contain nuts or traces of nuts or may have been in contact with nuts- READ those labels!) I have cleaned/Javexed the container. The Cache listing states it is in a PB jar, I did remove the Allergy Warning ( I figure those that have concerns can use their own judgement). As to TB coming into contact...my friend says that if she worried about everywhere/everything her daughter came into contact with then they couldn't go anywhere, they just make sure they are prepared (Epi pen, etc). As to the critters being attracted, I will keep a close eye and change containers if need be (the cache is quite close to my home). Play Safe!

I just placed a cache that is in a Peanut Butter Jar (well washed)...on the web page I placed a warning for Nut Allergies. Has anyone come acrossed any difficulties/comments from those with allergies? Or is this bad etiquette on my part to use the PB jar? Comments?

How do I do this? Thanks for your reply...clearly I do not know what I am doing!

Hello! I just copied this from the Getting Started Forum, this seemed like the more appropriate spot. Just trying to log our first Hide. We would like to place a signature picture as our background, one I got from a clipart site (so the URL is the site, not the specific pic). It is in motion (animated). Is this possible? How do I do it? If animation is not possible, there are stills, but I still don't know how to do it. Any Know How would be appreciated! The ScurvyDawgs NS
