Pardon me if this is a silly question, as I'm a newbie and own no caches, but I would have thought routine cache maintenance would involve at least a yearly visit to ensure all is okay?

Thank you. I've had a crappy day, and this seriously made me LOL.

Maybe start off with one you've already found to reduce the risk of not being able to find a 1/1 in case your "blinded" "Really, the other caches I've found haven't been this tough to find" > said by me when bringing along some muggle friends to introduce them to the game... (and yes, I'm still a newbie)

Black Flies Generally an Eastern North American Northern Latttudes thing, although that article is somewhat confusing, and mentions New Zealand and Scotland. Black flies at the beginning of the video by the river; but at the end in the bush, definitely mosquitoes - large ones!

Canadian Tire is a hardware store that, if you pay cash, gives you 0.4% back in CT money. Edit: was wrong about the rate... seemed off, but was even lower than I thought!

Congrats! I've also been following along the last few days... I'm amazed at the great condition of the cache. And holy cow, those skitters were the size of birds!! Well done, and thanks for the days of entertainment.

Uh oh... guess goofed then by signing the log as a find... Newbie mistake. Denied by a reviewer because of inability to maintain if placed on vacation I presume? Guess I'll keep stalking to see if it comes up so I can log online. Thanks for the quick replies!

So, I was out taking pics of the kids under a banyan tree on our last day in Hawaii 2 days ago... notice something in a hole, pull it out, and sure enough it was a tennis ball container with a "You have found a Geocache" label. We'd been in the area 2 weeks, caching around, and this had not popped up on our map. Again, sure enough, log was empty - I was first to find. I've been stalking the website waiting for it to get posted, and it hasn't been yet. I haven't hidden a cache yet, so don't know what the delay is between registering a cache, and it going live on the site. Or whether Premium members see it before others? Any thoughts? TIA from a newbie!
