That's not true. Both the OP and TrailGators advocated the elimination of micros in this thread. Sbell you never stop twisting things I have said to mean something that I didn't intend. I brought up a point that virtuals were moved to Waymarking (where they exist) because were many virtuals being placed in very poor locations and they were not true geocaches because they had no swag at all. So I applied the same logic to microspew. I did admit that there are some good micros. However, my point was the vast majority of microspew would never pass any kind of "wow" test. Also a large percentage of microspew has no swag. So my point is (and I will bold it for you) was why do we have double standard? Then you and StonedCachers defended microspew to the point that you admitted that it is a success to have a cache near a smelly trash dumpster. I think you guys are way out of touch with what most geocachers would like to find. I have met hundreds of cachers and have never met one that enjoyed finding a cache like that (until yesterday). Anyhow, we will never agree. If I say black you'll say white. So the only solution is the provide a way for those that do not enjoy microspew to filter it out from our PQs. Then everyone will have what they want.... You can filter them by size in a PQ can't you? Or maybe I'm thinking of something else. This post by Mrs. Beezer the b part of beezerb

Never lost just bewildered.

Okay this is not a link to a picture of an irrigation pump http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/North_Ame...photo443460.htm It is however a standpipe for a deep well irrigation system. I don't think any rice farmer would give you permission to invite the general public to be missing around one of these.

Dang coordinates are jumping all over the place!

You might end up on CNN..... Those stories and much more ahead on this AMERICAN MORNING. M. O'BRIEN: Good morning to you. I'm Miles O'Brien. S. O'BRIEN: And I'm Soledad O'Brien. Let's get to those new developments in that E. coli outbreak. There are new cases being reported in Arizona and Colorado today. That brings the total to 23 states that have been affected. A so- called smoking gun has now been found in New Mexico, an open bag of spinach found in the refrigerators of one of the victims. Apparently, it had E. coli on it. FDA investigators are focusing on nine California farms, looking for signs of past flooding or evidence of crops coming into contact with contaminated surface waters. California produces 74 percent of the nation's spinach crop. And as CNN's Ted Rowlands reports for us, that could make it a prime target for agroterrorists. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) TED ROWLANDS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): Long before it ends up neatly packaged in a store, most fresh food is exposed to potential contamination, both accidental and, even more frightening, intentional. JEFF NELKEN, FOOD SAFETY ANALYST: So lots of opportunities for contamination to take place. ROWLANDS: Jeff Nelken is a food safety analyst. He took us at a central California field to show us just how vulnerable the nation's food supply is to so called agroterrorism, starting with the relatively easy public access to crops. NELKEN: You can pretty much look down the highway here and there really isn't any security. ROWLANDS: One way exposed crops, according to Nelken, are vulnerable to contamination, is through tainted irrigation systems. We found this irrigation pump alongside a public road with only a padlock and chain around one of the valves. NELKEN: I would say you can't get any more accessible, because you see the water right here. ROWLANDS: Each field has its own irrigation system which makes mass tampering unlikely. Still, as we've seen with the E. coli contaminated spinach, a small number of food poisoning cases can have a huge effect NELKEN: I just would like it to be better secures. I don't know if I just trust the lock and chain. ROWLANDS: While security is visible at most processing plants, it's almost nonexistent in the fields. Nelken, who believes preventing agroterrorism should be a high priority, even thinks that security cameras should watch over unattended crops. NELKEN: I guess we're on the honesty system. And, you know, the question is, how long do we go on the honesty system? ROWLANDS: Joe Pezzini is vice president of Ocean Mist Farms in Castroville, California. He says farmers' only real defense now is from workers JOE PEZZINI, OCEAN MIST FARMS: Our employees are our eyes and ears out there in the field. And it's a matter of knowing who your employees are, where they're supposed to be, and having them be able to tell you if something is unusual or somebody's out of place. ROWLANDS: Agroterrorism has been identified as a real threat by the U.S. government. Last year at an agroterrorism conference in Kansas City, FBI Director Robert Mueller said, "We know that members of al Qaeda have studied our agriculture industry." The FDA and USDA are working with crop-producing states to find and fix vulnerable areas, but by all accounts there's still a long way to go. Ted Rowlands, CNN, San Juan Bautista, California.

Waffles and geocaching, my friend, you can't beat that. It's pecan waffles at Waffle House for the Bezzer and me (. Well done

Fish is faster than bird. Today.

Been there, done that. Just visit the log and click the delete log option.

Like these? http://shop.geoswag.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/miscswag.html

There is this one that is less than a mile from our front door but old knees and backs make it a will not find. We have been this far back in the cave when we were younger. If you want to give it a try we will be glad to wait at the cave entrance for you to get back out. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...0a-64c8a1f293e2

Our first cache (Above Below GCWV7F) was taken and the rocks around it were busted up like someone had taking a sledge hammer to them. It was located above Chusman's Blowing Cave so we just blamed it on cave trolls then we googled the cave name and found this... http://www.fortunecity.com/roswell/predict.../redbookae.html We placed the replacement cache farther from the cave entrance where it would be harder for subterranean dwelling critters to get to. We can't help wondering if the one some guys put inside the cave (GCX5MQ - Blowing Cave Bonus Cache) has been muggled by the inhabitancies. Are you sure that's your marble?

We like to find a really *****in' cache, man.

We gave ourselves a cozy caching weekend stay here: http://www.gastons.com/ Didn't get all that much caching done but had a very merry Christmas.

We think this lady rates as a real cacher: GCGHA8 BE very carfull on the Larg Flat rock, my wife fell and hurt her head and broke arm, after taking her to the Hospital we went back to place the cache. LOL

June 3 by cloaked_cacher (111 found) Catching up on cache logs. TFTC [view this log on a separate page] Time travel always gives me a headache.

Lame is in the eye of the beholder. Always has been, always will be.

All reviewers should wear kilts, other than that - no changes to the current system would be justified.

A dangerous cache in a kilt!

I was doing the old GPS as a cell phone thing and a lady who had been setting in her car for ever talking on her phone got out and said “If you're having trouble making a call you can us my phone.”

It's baaaaaaaaaaack.

I think I crashed the geocaching.com server – again.

Works for us. Would be glad to help Uncle E in Arkansas.

Our first find was last June. It took us three trips before we found the correct dirt road. By the time we found the cache the Beezer had taught me how to use the GPS and I was hooked . Parking coordinates? Thanks but no thanks. b
