It's a sad day when nocturnal, shirtless egg tossers are harassed for playing their game. Yes. I guess I'll just have to be more careful. Mybe tomatoes are okay?

I don't know where you live, but this would be a cache I'd love to go to, if it gets approved. Sounds like a great idea to me!

*grins evilly* You're invited to come find my caches whenever you're in the neighborhood!

I just did my first puzzle cache. Actually, it gives you the coords for two caches with great views, if you solve the puzzle - it's a logic problem type. I never saw a cache done that way before, so I'm hoping it's at least semi-unique and interesting. It's a solve at home one, and not too hard. I didn't know people didn't like puzzle caches. Huh.

Well, Heartland Cacher has been mentioned already, so I'll throw in a vote for Roadrunner in Nevada!

Here's a round tuit for you! It's smiling.

!!!!!!!

I was with you up to that point... God help us if we allow the government that much power over our lives. Given the tendency of governments to take land away from people whenever they want (history of American Indians, modern-day laws of eminent domain), if unchecked, it could swing to the other extreme.

Good!! Thanks.

If you are setting up a multi, is it allowed to have one stage be a virtual, or do all stages have to lead you to some kind of container?

I was trying to fill out an empty, newly created bookmark for a specific area and ran into an error message. These are the exact steps I took: 1) Found a cache in that area. 2) Clicked on "find all nearby caches". 3) Clicked Map It. 4) Clicked identify, and clicked on the map. 5) Ckicked 'check all'. 6) Unchecked the caches that didn't fit, and hit 'bookmark'. This was the error message: Server Error in '/' Application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'UserID', table 'GEO.dbo.Bookmarks'; column does not allow nulls.

Thirty pounds since January... I think I've noticed a bit of a change. Yes.

What I want to know is who got the vaunted xyzz! Plugh.

I'm going to create a cache that only people with 100 or more valid DNFs will be able to DNF. Else I'll have to delete their non-log. Plus they won't get any cake.

The last time someone asked that question, Atlantis sank. NEVER ASK!

I like rereading the logbooks in my caches. Makes me feel oddly vindicated. Or evil. Haven't decided which.

WELL? Did you have the cake? Did you eat it too? Or were you forced to DNF it? Inquiring minds want to know!

More than a few times I've had to email the last finder for a hint to find my own cache. They do wander around a bit. I know where I put it, but all that means is that I look less before I'm stumped. I've certainly got egg on my face - I just reenabled one of my caches, which I thought had been muggled because I couldn't find it. Evidently it's still there, the FTF (and only finder thus far) checked today, and yep, I just missed it. He's far more experienced a cacher then I am!

This one might help you a lot - Papio - Missouri River Natural Resources District. They have several flood control sites/parks around the Omaha area, and there is a link on their site for geocaching, allowing people to apply for a permit to cache in those areas. They are very helpful and won't turn a cache down unless there is a valid reason, such as cache saturation in an area. The link for geocaching is under the Recreation and Wildlife menu. I hope this helps!

Yes. It's easy to DNF a 5/5! But a 1/1 takes real work. Unless you are caching with sbell111, which I have never done.

Maybe? We have a cacher in my area with 1500 documented DNF's Geo Dee This post brought to you by the letters A thru Z Geo Dee has been known to log a fake DNF. Why, the nerve! That cheater!

Well, what if it is a park-n-grab? If they do everything up to and including parking, the only way to avoid getting a find is to stay in the car! With their eyes closed, of course. Count to twenty, claim a DNF, and drive away. A purist would say that you can't park within ten feet of a cache, because then you would be able to see it as you pulled up, but I disagree. Ten feet is acceptable, as long as you are not actively eyeing the possible hiding spots. Five feet is pushing it, though.

I'd go look for yours, if you hid them a bit closer. Say... within 20 miles of Omaha? I like getting off the highway and getting completely lost in areas I've never been in. I'm serious! But the people I end up asking directions from don't always agree.

If you can put a hamster in a cache, surely you can put a cat in a cache. Hey, you have to feed the cat somehow... Isn't that what the cake and pie are for?

I'm going to get a FTF, because no one else can pull up the page and load the coords! Actually, that'd be a cheap way to do it.
