Switch to the Iphone. Or any other company and get a GPS.

I feel ready sad for this person. What circumstance left them to only log abandoned virtuals and not want to experience the find in person?

He's logged a lot more now. Up to 349.

How long before its moved to geocaching.com forums? Any guesses?

Doubt that would be approved under the guidelines. I certainly would never use it. There are ways to put it on the webpage. That is how you should do it. Which guideline would finding another cachers profile violate? Which one would be violated by clicking on a button and recieving a phone call for free that connects you to the second part of the puzzle? The whole point is for the finder to think the puzzle is on the page then learn they have to hear morse code and decode it.

He has posted some pics with the logs. Real or fake that's a lot of work. Maybe he switched accounts.

Don't get all bent out of shape over it. Let the cache owners delete his logs.

Remember to tell your finders to hold the flashlight as close to their eye as possible when using firetacks.

Never mind, I found one. Worldcacher

There you go. Thanks for the info I always wanted to build one of those.

I'm looking for a social network for geocachers. A place to post videos and pictures, make blogs and stuff. Is there such a thing?

Hold the presses! I've got it! I was about to log a "Stars and Strips" Geo-coin that needs to go to a war zone like Iraq. And I was thinking of names that mean other than a certain group. Like muggle for Geocachers. Well in the Marines the infantry are fond of the term POG (Person Other than Grunt). Sounds like Pouge. Maybe we can use it for Peron Other than Geocacher? "Here comes some Pouges!" "My cache got Pouged!" Try it out it may grow on you. At least it has a military beginning like most things we use today. "Balls to the wall" a reference to going full speed in an aircraft where the throttles we just rounded off into a ball shape. "Cup of Joe" Coined after a Navy Captain banned liquor on the ship and everyone turned to coffee more often. Nick named it Joe. "Son of a gun" Applied to boys born afloat, when women were permitted to accompany their husbands to sea; one admiral declared he literally was thus cradled, under the breast of a gun-carriage. Thoughts?

It's on the homepage isn't it? Only counts last 7days though. "There are 925,540 active caches worldwide. In the last 7 days, there have been 672,211 new logs written by 86,403 account holders. "

No, its just a widget on the profile. I have one on mine. You just click on it and enter your number. Google will call you then call me.

No, Morris. Different guy same code. Just never got credit for it!

I am considering posting a puzzle cache that has Morris code on the listing. Once decoded it will subtly tell you to find a persons profile in geocaching.com. Once found, the profile with have a link that will connect (anonymously) to a Google voice account. The call is free by the way. The voicemail message will contain another Morris code but the actual sounds obviously. The caller may need to call back several times to decode the entire message which will lead to the cache. Thoughts on difficulty level, improvements, unforeseen problems?

Probably not a great idea to post a military units deployment plans on the internet. Loose lips sink ships.

Please take down that GC code. I don't want to call out any certain cache. Just asking for advice on the SITUATION. If you needed proof that the CO admitted it here it is.

What do you do, besides hit "ignore cache", when there is a puzzle cache that has NEVER been found for a few years? There is a fairly straight forward puzzle that several people have emailed the owner asking for confimation on coordinates or clues. He never emails back. One time he actually did email back and told them that he made a mistake in the puzzle because he didn't know how to create the puzzle in the first place. It's not like the cache is really tough or witty and it is just stumping everyone because the CO is a really great puzzle maker. It's gone unfound for so long because he didn't get it right. So I guess my main question is how do you handle a puzzle cache that can not be confirmed that the puzzle even works and the CO refuse to communitcate with anyone?

At least they are trying to get closer to the real geocaching. The first one we used a shovel to find treasure. That was about it. This second one got some of the terms we use right and even showed a cache. I've never been that aggressive to get a FTF. Those guys were wacked out! I noticed they didn't reference the geocaching.com site, instead some individuals personal caching page. Which I guess excuses the fact that a few big GC.com rules were broken. Like rail roads and permission.

Can we get a "Find by address" option? I don't like having to switch my gps into decimal degrees to input then switch back to enter into my gps.

I got it and love it! Free with "trialpay" I got a netflix membership and got cachemate free. Just need to find a way to export to my GPS from my PDA that would rock!

You could always use worldcacher.com. It's like a social network for geocachers. It's founded in Fresno so I'm sure your going to find someone there to cache with.

You can't just toss that out there and then move on (like a film can on the highway). Spill it. What's your trick? I use a section of bicycle tire to fit around it. Like a second skin...or first skin since they don't have any to start with. Water proofs the entire film can, even the magnet attached to the side.

Umm, all caches are one of those sizes. Which size would a "No Trespassing" sign with a sheet of write-in-rain sheet glued to the back?
