I just did, but I started here because I usually read the general forum and not the NW. ---I will stand out, I am a raven in the snow.

I contacted the company that made the Canadian and Texas Geocoins to ask about setting one up for Oregon. Wondering if there are people out there that would want to buy some of there so that one person doesn't have to but a bunch. ---I will stand out, I am a raven in the snow.

I'm asking the people that make the Canadian and Texas geocoins how much it would cost to setup one for Oregon. I need to know if there are people interested in buying these so that no one person would have to buy a bunch. ---I will stand out, I am a raven in the snow.

Yes I agree the main goal is exploring new places and just finding the cache, but if you also enjoy trading items it can be frustrating. I bring along a group of "low level" and "high level" items to trade depending on what I find. I would rather see the "T/L nothing" post more often if people are just going to be trading in throw-away items. If you don't have something interesting or useful, don't put anything in at all. The caches are self-sustaining and self-IMPROVING. ---I will stand out, I am a raven in the snow.

Maybe if you don't mind Moun10Bike you could tell us the company you use and others could use the geocaching logo they already have set-up and we could design our own front logo. The price you quote seems less than what I've seen just searching around, especially if you do it without colour. ---I will stand out, I am a raven in the snow.

We went on easy caches yesterday and were suprised to see that 3 of the 4 were within eye shot of at least one home, one was even 12' from an apartment parking lot and some apartments without an obstructed view. I'm thinking this is a little crazy. Unless the people in the homes were the ones to place the caches (I doubt everyone in the apartments got together to do this), they are risking the neighbors questioning what all the people are messing with close to the house and possibly taking the cache. We went to another on Sunday that we are pretty sure is missing and it is the same way, in full view of a whole side of a house. ---I will stand out, I am a raven in the snow.

Thinking about many posts I was thinking, most people cache around their own area so bugs jump around the same place or are held for a long trip which sounds like it makes people frustrated. What if I were to pick a random person from a post on this website, email them and if it's okay send them the travel bug. I could log the transfer and this would get the bug in a whole different area. Nurse Dave ---I will stand out, I am a raven in the snow.

Well I'm new to this and have found 2 bugs. My thoughts were to wait until I could drop them off at least an hour away from where they were found, but that would mean holding them for awhile. Do most people like it is better to just place them soon even if they just bounce around the same town or give them some legs? Nurse Dave ---I will stand out, I am a raven in the snow.

I'm not that daft. We try to do the research first. We print out a detailed map from mapquest for each cache, but a big green sqaure in the middle of 10 potential deadend streets doesn't show you where the actual parking lots are. Printing the arial photo was a good idea, we will try it with the next few. ---I will stand out, I am a raven in the snow.

So new as we are I'm wondering if just finding the parking area is supposed to be part of the search. There are a few caches we have been to that either could have or were a lot longer because there was more than one enterance to a park or the access could have been from one side of a river or the other. I see some people give a suggested area to park while many others don't. I think it is a little frustrating myself. I'd rather spend time hiking and enjoying views than driving down every side-street or missing a cache because there was a different parking lot I was supposed to start in. ---I will stand out, I am a raven in the snow.

Just started caching and the first two we found had items in that would come from the "free" box of goodwill. Is this the norm? We upgraded what we took, but I could see after a while it would get irritating always being the one putting in the better items. ---I will stand out, I am a raven in the snow.

I just got the navman add-on for palm and want to use it for geocaching (newbie). Problem is it comes with great Rand McNally software that only lets you search for street addresses. Anyone use this set-up? I need to find a program that will let me type in lat/log and get direction and distance. ---I will stand out, I am a raven in the snow.
