I haven't seen in these logs if this was really an in-tact cartridge or just a piece of metal in an aerodynamic shape that we call a 'bullet'.
Being a Civil War guy, I was going to use an old CW style bullet as my sig item (just a hunk of metal - even the National Park Service sells them as souvenirs).
I was going to make them by using an original Civil War bullet mould so they would have been authentic.
After mentioning this on another thread, someone wrote and said about how little children might 'eat' this hunk of metal so I should be real careful about what caches to put them in! Give me a break!
In any case, the guidelines says 'no ammo', a piece of metal is NOT ammo.

I wonder if the 'no trespassing' sign is really where it should be.
It's common practice for locals to place these signs at trails or firecuts that are not on their land but just lead to their land.
It's an easy way for them to give themselves a little more of a buffer zone but in truth, they're just stealing some public land.

I like the locationless cache concept as a way of being able to geocache anywhere and everywhere, all the time.
For example, I was driving in Windsor, Ontario and passed a large steam locomotive, knowing that there was a locationless cache for these, I turned around and grabbed a picture with my gps included.
Therefore, I got to log a 'find' and I wasn't even on a cache hunt!
I guess I just like the spontaneity of it and it gives me a reason to keep my camera and gps handy.

What I just noticed, without switching computers:
1. had to log in to geocaching.com
2. went to 'discuss geocaching' and had to log on
3. went back to main page and was ok
4. logged off of IE
5. logged back on to IE and was able to get to main page
6. went to 'discuss geocaching' and was not logged on
7. clicked onto 'login' and nothing happened
8. clicked onto 'login' again and had to reenter id

you know, I hate to say it, but the last couple of days I've been having to log-in all the time.
Up to this point, I haven't had any problems - did the fix fix some and hurt others?
I thought maybe it was me and all of a sudden my IE settings changed but I haven't had any problems with other sign-on sites.
I guess it's just my turn to see what was bothering others with their being asked to login all the time.

I try to do a little maintanence if appropriate - nothing elaborate - less is more.

I keep a kit with me that isn’t so much full of trade items, but rather things to “doctor” a cache. (Pens; geocaching.com notice-page in English and Spanish;hmmmm - being in SE Michigan, I wonder if I should put the notice in English and Arabic - I'm not sure if something written in Arabic found in an ammo box would go over very well though if accidentally found.

Re-hiding it the way you found it is what I try to do but just this weekend I wasn't really sure if I should do that.
At a stage of a multi, the container was quite visible under a bush, but the bush itself was so far out of the way that I doubt if any muggle would ever be in the area and if there were a few more leaves, you wouldn't have seen it.
I came down on the side of leaving it the way I found it, I just hope it's what the owner intended!

As a firm believer in having a hiking staff with you on the trail, this looks like a good concept but I wonder how it really 'feels'.
Balance is all important to a good hiking staff, it must pivot easily and the grips must be flexible to adjust to the terrain.
That's why for 30 years I've been using my own hikory staff that I've tuned to my own hiking style.
I wish them luck though and I wouldn't mind at all if I came across someone using one on a trail so that I can check it out!

You would have to say we go 'evey now and then' not that I couldn't do a lot more virtual caching in my area, but that's more of a Sunday drive type of activity and doesn't interest me too much.
I guess I'm saying we're becoming a little more selective which caches we'll spend gas money and our time on. This last weekend we did a 3/3 which was quite worth it but that only upped my stats by 1, we could easily have hit 10 different virtuals in this area if we had wanted - not that I don't like a good, interesting virtual mind you!

The log wasn't so horrible that it should have been deleted but then, the owner did have the right.
I've been annoyed a couple of times by being on the wrong side of a river but I realized that was part of the challenge of the cache.
By the way - there were a lot of food items originally placed in the cache wasn't there?

Actually, I think this gives me a challenge - I wonder how many caches I could put in an area that was exactly 528 feet from each other????

If I wanted a new GPS, I'd just go out and get one!
My wife wouldn't say a word. (probably for days!)

I have one virtual and it was my intention that the finders would post a find and email me at the same time.
Only once did I get the notification that someone logged a find but I never received a verifying email.
If I do a virtual, I log the find and email the owner at the same time and never had a problem.

I appreciate the your effort at posting this. I'll probably never be able to do a thru-hike but I have been doing sections of the AT.
I've heard of these stoves but I've never seen more detailed explanation as to making them.
Thanks.

Never dropped the soap in the shower either!

If we throw some syllables together and agree on the meaning, then it's a word no matter if the 'authorities' agree or not.
We are the master of words, not Webster, therefore, geo-muggle is a word! JMHO

Love the show! Not too impressed with the young, "I'm so cool and rich" actors though.
At least it doesn't seem Richard Anderson (McGyver) has let his success go too far to his head.
If you set a Stargate theme up, let me know, perhaps I'll set up a gate here and see if we can have something materialize at both sites - keep your iris down!

hmmmm, I found this source for ink markers and small blacklights....

as far as pitons being damaging, I found this at Rock Climbing
Rock climbing in the 1970s underwent a great deal of change at NOLS, as well as in the climbing community at large. Climbers in the early '70s were still hammering pitons into the rock. (Pitons resemble nails or spikes of different thickness and shapes, and are driven into cracks in the rock to provide an anchor to hold the climber's rope in the event of a fall.)
Then, in 1974, in response to the development of a "clean climbing" ethic, manufacturers of climbing equipment, most notably Chouinard, developed the use of hexcentrics and stoppers (artificial chockstones) that effectively replaced pitons.
The "clean climbing" ethic was a response to the increasing number of climbers on popular climbing routes, especially in California. Thousands of climbers, all using pitons, were leaving scarred rock and wider cracks wherever they had placed their pitons.
Hexcentrics and stoppers are placed, not hammered into cracks, are easily removed, and leave no marks on the rock.

Well, I have to get into this thread just a little - seems to me I'm getting some mixed signals from this Daley Ranch.
On one hand, we're told "Now listen kiddees, don't bend the blades of grass", and on their website it's, "Common over, let's party with our mountain bikes!" Daley Ranch
As far as the "99% Gone" statement originally made, everyone knows that at least 75% of the time statistics are made up on the spot.
I think we are getting a little tired of being preached to for this topic or that topic or this other topic - or whatever.
If the powers at Daley Ranch want to allow 'conditioning hikes' or mountain bikes or bird stalking hikes and ban small hidden tupperware containers because someone's footsteps might be noticed, I really don't care anymore.
