  1. I've been keeping our profile information in a page on my own webserver and included it on our gc.com profile page with an iframe, which has worked flawlessly so far. However, now I see that the iframe doesn't show up anymore - and it's not that it's not loading, the tag simply isn't in the HTML. Has this been changed by TPTB? If so, shouldn't there be an announcement somewhere?
  2. Nooooooo .... okay, maybe a little MrCOgeo, you're quite right. It should point, well, right.
  3. Except for those who, oh I don't know, might want to search for caches in the country and can't find it on the list?
  4. Which, just to make it crystal clear, is this:
  5. Love the maps. Where do you get them?
  6. http://www.geocaching.eu/ - click a flag
  7. Lots of pastureland in Denmark is placed on the less accessible (by agricultural machinery, that is) areas down to the coastline. Coupled with legislation that guarantees free access to Danish beaches, this means that lots of beach or near-beach caches are in publically accesible areas within cattle enclosures. For instance, The Major's Box 3 has a "beware of the bull" notice and even nice pictures of the testy bovine.
  8. If I happened to actually find an archived cache, being unable to post a "Found It" would definitely not improve my caching experience. How does it improve yours?
  9. The event you have attended shows up under "Attended", not "Found It".
  10. Is is commonly accepted that Geocoins and other trackables are not swag.
  11. Cache teams split up, kids grow up and get their own account. That's just two legitimate reasons for wanting to re-log your back catalogue under another username. Disallowing logs on archived caches are a bad idea for that reason.
  12. Then what if you "Discover It" in a cache, and the next cacher finds it missing? Then you could have saved it by taking it with you! In all seriousness, don't blame yourself for coins going missing. As long as you exercise due dilligence in re-hiding the cache (and do so unseen and/or unconspicuously), you're not to blame for another ar***ole taking what's not theirs to keep.
  13. 3.999 / gallon? We pay 168% of that - 10.50 DKK/liter or 6.756$ per gallon. Of course, our Peugeot probably gets a bit more mpg than your average American cachemobile
  14. I think I have looked at the geocaching.com front page once or twice since originally signing up in January '06. Why would I want to drop by there when I know that everything I need is happening in the forums and on http://geocaching.com/seek/ ?
  15. I know of a guy here in Copenhagen who caches with a Bluetooth GPS and his laptop in a backpack. Then he has headphones on and a program on the laptop that can give directions (similar to a car navigation system). Though he's not blind, that's a setup that would work for the visually impaired.
  16. Geocoins are equivalent to travelbugs. Works exactly the same. Over 500 attendants, IIRC.
  17. And that's the only thing you found freaky, right? (Okay, I confess - I'm a geo-nerd too. GIS developer for a multinational consulting/engineering firm.) I'd think our finds are highly eccentric - especially if you disregard the couch virtual whose coords are in the middle of the North Sea
  18. We've gone done 4 countries: Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands and Belgium. Going to grab one in Germany tomorrow Longest distance between any of our finds is 1043.37km (GCG402 and GCH8C3). That's about 650 miles for the metrically challenged. EDIT: Just realized 39% of our cache finds are outside Denmark :wub:
  19. Hey, we're not all engineers, ya know? I got the power (GCKH59)
  20. Drita Før Drøbak-Sundet = Drunk before we reach the Strait of Drøbak. (Strait of Drøbak reached after ca one hour from Oslo towards Copenhagen) hbrx. All those drunk Norwegians should never be allowed off the ferry in my beautiful home town!
  21. There's a whole 'nother rant right there I did a Terrain 1 that required scaling an approx. 1m tall concrete wall and then walking 15 metres uphill through small trees and bushes to find the cache. Not exactly an Ironman, but pretty hard to do in a wheelchair. Remember folks: Terrain 1 means IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER THAN THIS!

    222 ?

    I hope that's a joke ... There's a bunch of frustrated Portuguese cachers, for instance, who are calling for the Groundspeak-instigated liberation movement of Madeira to be curbed.
  23. Låningsvejen, GCQA5Y - submerged ammobox in the tidal flats of the Wadden Sea. Fishermans Cache, GCGWK8 - in the Baltic Sea between Denmark and Germany.
