Don't tase me, bro.

all of your other caches are fine.
nice job 'maintaining' those inventory lists.
Thank you. How are your hides looking, inventory-wise?
i have no hides.
i'm never in one place long enough to properly maintain a cache.
my wife and i are retired and live in our motorhome full-time.
traveling the country and checking ahead to verify who's been naughty or nice in maintaining their inventory lists.
Heck, seems like you're doing it from the comfort of your armchair, no need for travel.
Or is this an out of body type experience?

Please do not do that again.
oh, but i fully intend to go through ALL of your caches.
and if any of the listed trackablesare missing........
i do fully intend to place a note on your page.
And... there it is! The sound of a thread [and an argument] imploding!
Fortunately, the knower of chad can delete pointless, spammy notes.

I'm cool with my listings being a part of the challange. Is it Groundspeak supported? We got a email from a user because we had to change the ratings of something similar. They seemed upset because the ratings had to be changed? Still not sure, but it was something about a grid, I think?
Unless it's a variation it's based on a grid. For example finding a cache in each county should cover it. As for cache rating changes, finder beware.
I don't think it was part of the Delorme thing? Maybe a grid or something on difficulty levels or something? They had to go up, but a seeker complained that they would have to exclude the listing like it was a big deal. I'm sure it was to them, but I did not understand the issue.
That's their hard luck.
It sounds like it was a fizzy challenge, where they have to find every combination of difficulty and terrain possible. Challenges caches like the fizzy, the county challenge, the Delorme came well before the Groundspeak idea of a "Challenge", and are completely different. It's douwnright confusing and unfair, imho, for GS to re-use the term for something else.

Psst. Look up. We posted at the same time.

From my experiences with my cache listings it seems more of an armchair event.
Not in my state. So I don't think it's a problem with the cache.
And so to stay on topic the owner works very closely with people to verify the requirements. Contact your local owner to find out the best method.
I don't know much about the subject. Just that some of my listings seem to be part of the Delorme challange. What is it anyway, and how/why are some of MY listings part of it?
Have you ever seen a DeLorme atlas? There is one for every state; it divides up the state into grids, and each page has a chunk of the grid. The DeLorme challenge is to find a cache on every page of the atlas. nebraska, for example has 68 or 69 pages, I think; Rhode Island has nine or so.
Your caches are physically located within a state, and therefore can be used to claim a part of the grid, or a particular page. Same as if someone were doing the County Challenge and used your cache to claim a particular county. That's all.

Hello!
I live in Missouri as well and completed both the Missouri County and Delorme challenges this past April. Both are challenges you just have to get out and do...don't think about them, because they become really daunting if you do.
If you use GSAK, there is a macro that you can use to track your Delorme progress. It will list the pages you have done and will show a Google Earth map as well that shows your completion. You can get the macro here.
I never looked much into it, but a cache that I had near an interstate got armchaired a few times by users "completing" the Delorme Challange as they quoted in their logs. I have another cache in Virgina just a few miles away from Kentucky and Tennessee that gets a few logs from the Delorme Challange cachers. From my experiences with my cache listings it seems more of an armchair event.
It's not.

Well, darnit! I'll be out in New York/Vermont area, but not until next week, and it will probably be too late then!

I had my "Tuning Fork" cache up in a forked tree - beautiful spot, you had to shinny up a sloped tree to get it. Which was great, until part of the tree fell in a storm. I altered the desc to inform people that the fork was out of tune, and hid it at the base of the tree, lowered the terrain.
Which was great until the Missouri River came up and put the cache site under six feet of water. As of now, that cache, and about four other of my caches, are disabled.
I wish I could have left it in the tree.

We so appreciate all the people who take the time and effort to place caches, good and bad, because what I think is a "stupid" cache, some one else might call a favorite. Let's enjoy caching and not try to dictate how others cache. Just my two cents.

... Next time you go find a cache check and see if the hider was a regular member or premium member. ...
YUP.
Before looking for a cache, check the owner's 'status'. If they are a PM, do not DO NOT go looking for that cache! Stage your own protest and don't search for caches hidden by PM owners.
I'm sure it won't be long before those cache owners take notice, and begin to wonder WHY their caches haven't been found by Magic Phil yet. When they start sending you eMail about this, you can explain the situation on your own terms. I am absolutely certain they will then see the error of their ways and remove the PM status from ANY/ALL caches they have hidden.
I think you are behind the times, AZ! I am a PM, and I can report, with much distress, that Magic Phil has never found ANY of my caches. I hang my head in shame. Farewell, OT! Goodbye, PQ Square! It's a long, long way to platinum... but my heart's right there!

I suspect that she will use that term much more sparingly now.
Um, I'm not sure I want to look up any alternate meanings. It was intended as a random thing, with no meaning beyond what I gave it... that someone's logic is totally random and doesn't make sense, so have a purple crayon out of nowhere.
Maybe I better switch the color of the crayon.
Probably a good idea if you did. I wouldn't use blue either. Or black for that matter.
Sigh. I really didn't intend anything beyond the shade of color of a child's art tool that is made of wax.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but in this thread I feel like I can confide! Tonight while reading the forums I learned that lamp post hides are extremely common and even looked down on by some people for that reason. Why am I embarrassed? Because I knew nothing about them, and when I found my first one this week I thought it was the coolest thing ever and even sent a message to the CO with my thanks!
No embarrassment required! My first DNF/second find was a LPC, and I was all "oh, wow, these things lift up!" - well, after studying a blank patch of lawn for 20 minutes.
Unrelated thing thta I've learned from the forums... sometimes, you just have to add a purple crayon.

Kirk dies. Picard saves Earth and plays cards. Sisko becomes a supernatural thingie. Janeway makes it home.
Then everything resets.

DESTINI has caught up with us.

They didn't fail, and it wasn't very safe. Particularly in Moscow or New York.

Found crayons in one. Fortunately I was able to swap before the crayons melted and did any damage to other contents.
Was there a purple crayon? This thread needs one.
Not quite yet... This thread still makes sufficient sense to not warrant purple crayonness.(Though the oatmeal tangent makes it very tempting...)

The girl is from land, which explains why she can't swim. Eventually they all find land, and due to his gills, he has to go back to the ocean.
That was a lousy movie!

They hide the submarine in a river. Another one is missing.
One of my favorite movies for a long time. Watched it like 15 times growing up. No idea why.
Just finished watching it. It's one of my favorites too.

They weren't really Flask's cats... they actually belonged to her neighbor.
NOOOOO!!!!

I never thought of it that way.
I'll try to do better, I swear!
