If the persone from CA has the bug in thier inventory, you just grab from them on the bug page. To get the mileage, just log it into the next local cache you find.

This will be a great markwell thread.

Holy Cow! That was fast! A winner b4 I even offered it on the cache page
Great work D@nI've heard of this geochecker but never checked it out. Where do I get that?

I have a puzzle cache that has been waiting over a month for the First to Find. I was thinking of having a First to Solve prize. I know some from several miles away work my puzzle caches, and they may be first to solve it, but not be able to get at it right away, and miss the First to Find. This would even include cachers who search puzzle caches just to solve them knowing they may never be in the area.
Has anyone done this? I was thinking of a gift card to be sent to them.

I made a coin in 2006 and have several left over, so I started putting one in my caches for FTF prizes. It wouldn't bother me if the same person got all the FTF prizes I set out.
I'm also planning on sticking one in every now and then just for the next finder.

On your account page, on the right, just above Field Notes.

Got these cool shades and great hat from that cache back there.
All it cost me was a golf ball and a bent slinky.
I'm a big kid now!

Well, the cache page may say "You can't log a find on this unless you do this and this and this" but does it say you can't move tb's or jeeps unless you do this and this and this?
Cache owners shouldn't dictate what happens to someone else's traveler. -
When you sign in to the forums, you have the option to sign in as invisible. My guess is they have decided to be invisible.
-
If it's anything like around here, the jeeps probably aren't really in there. But since the concept of a traveler is to travel, nothing is stopping you from finding the cache and setting the jeeps free. If your find log is deleted because you didn't fulfill the requirements, you still set the jeeps free.
**You could log a note instead of a find since you haven't met the requirements of the cache.

FTF
in How do I...?
Since you're not a paying member, I won't tell you how to do it as a paying member. I think this is available to all. Under search options on your account page it says "Search for caches from your home coordinates (filter out finds). Click on filter out finds and look for a cache listed as new. Sometimes you get lucky and find one that no one has found yet.
-
From the movie Caching Cars: "People didn't cache to make good time, people cached to have a good time."
-
If it were me, and I knew the date I found the cache, I would mark the log as that date.
-
Go to the cache page of the caches you found. In the upper right corner it says "log your visit". Click this and mark it as found and write your log.
-
Keep in mind "If you don't sign the log, it's not a find" is a forum rule, and wasn't included in the original rules of geocaching. They may not read the forums. Some of us still hold the simple definition of find.
How does that compare with this-
What are the rules in Geocaching?Geocaching is a relatively new phenomenon. Therefore, the rules are very simple:
1. Take something from the cache
2. Leave something in the cache
3. Write about it in the logbook
from the GC FAQ.....not the forums?
When you write a check, in the lower right hand corner, do you write about the check or sign it? "Write about it in the logbook" and "If you don't sign the log, it's not a find" are not the same thing.

Post a note to the cache you found it in, and "drop it" into that cache, then grab it again.

That would be a good multi cache.

MapSource has the ability to put a .1 mile proximity circle around caches, if you use that software.
-
You're welcome to fly the short distance to Kansas and post notes on my caches. I don't think virtual noting is against the guidelines. You could keep track of these "simfinds" in some mapping software. I'd be happy to see some screen shots of my locations. And thanks for the idea; I've been flightsimming since "98".

If I pass 20 different people that all say the sky is green, I will say over and over and over and over that it is blue.
Actually, we are saying the sky is blue. You are the one saying it is green.

I consider my reviewer as part of "them". He is connected to the site. If I have a cache that's "on the edge" I would start with my reviewer, not at the top. And if it was listed, there would be no need for me to go higher.
-
He is an example that I can give on asking for permission from Groundspeak. I had an event that I wanted to list personally. It was a bit on the edge. I presented the idea to Groundspeak saying that a cacher wanted to do it and I wanted to see what they thought about it. Rothstafari thought about it and got back to me after a few days. He said he would allow it since it was a teamwork type thing and would be a great way for geocachers to have some fun. This was right as the guidelines were being loosened up. I was prepared for the denial, but I figured that asking for permission was worth a shot. After he approved of the idea, I told him I was the cacher in question. He got a chuckle out of my approach, but it shows that even I went about it in the right way. The whirlyball event was great and cachers want to do it again.
And what if 2 days before the event a cacher complained and the event was pulled?
When we submit a cache for review, that is "us" asking "them" for permission. The cache that started this went thru that process, and was given permisson, for months. We don't have the option to ask Rothstafari directly, we have our local reviewers, and I'm guessing most of us don't expect our local reviewer to backpedal after such a long time.

I just find it interesting that there has been a SPECIFIC rule against caches with "Support the Troops" on them.
That would be supporting little green toys. Try Again.
I was pointing out the "words" aren't the problem. No need to try again.
Great work D@n

Well, to answer your question, the puzzle is on a cache page. I'd say that's possibly got something to do with geocaching.
Secondly, I never mentioned an online certificate. I said gift card, meaning in envelope, stamped, to the post office. (I go outside to get there) And unless they have one of those slots in the door for their mail, they'll have to go outside to retreive the letter.
Thirdly, as for my idea that started this thread, I'll mark one against.
