Knives and multitools? You people are living large. I had to remove a few of my caches when my permits expired and I brought home a used range ball ball, a bumper sticker, piece of what was once hard candy, used crayon, fake $100 bill.
In my opinon these are the trade items that need to be banned.
The first rule of geocaching as defined by me, "No matter how worthless the junk a person puts into a cache it will be replaced with something of lesser value."

When I hit 100 I got frustrated with the new breed of cachers. Film canisters in a mall parking lot??? How much duller can it get:-(
I remember caches that took me to places I would not have found otherwise. I still find an occasional cache, but I don't log them anymore.

When I am out backpacking it is nice to have preset waypoints to establish location. Many of these places have historical significance as well. I also download these waypoints into Maptech's Terrain Navigator so they will display on my topo maps.

I think many of the non-premium members are disapprovers.

I don't log any of my finds.

In the past I have downloaded place names that are nearby a particular cache. I don't see this option anymore. When I click on place names I get a list of the places, but no download feature.
Has this been changed or is there another way to download place names?
Thanks

I posted my picture. It was deemed inappropriate and removed by Admin.

I used to maintain my caches. Not anymore. In three years it seems to be getting worse. I initially coined the phrase...
"No matter how worthless the contents of a cache it will be replaced by something of lesser value."
Now I realize many just take stuff and don't leave anything.

The local papers have run a couple articles on geocaching. It has created a spurt.

You know you are addicted when you are banned twice and return each time.
Or is Jeremy addicted to me....?
MoooooHaaaaaHaaaaa

Caches on private property are worse. I have only found one cache on private property that was actually posted by the owner. Everyone else seems to have permission.
I own private property. I would never give someone permission to invite strangers. Creepy.
-
I would say any number of recent caches that are surrounded by private property.
I don't like people. I hate trespassing even worse.
I remember when a cache took me to a path less traveled.

This place has been a cash cow for years.
I'll bet Jeremy makes almost as much as I do.

During my efforts to promote this hobby with land managers I relied on Jeremy to be the heavy on rouge cachers. It blew up in my face when Jeremy, the admin folks, the cachers and I had a face off.
My advice is to let Jeremy handle all the land management issues and publicity.

What is it?
I have sent IM's to moderators to report inappropriate posts and received sarcastic comments in return
Is there a button I haven't pushed? Is there a button I could have pushed?

The mods forum is on a seperate server.
There is nothing stopping those that want a seperate forum like the mods have from starting one. All you need is some one to host the thing. Thats really not a bad idea. That way you could flame away with out fear of warnings. Anyone want to host the Off Topic Forum for those that seem to need one?
Free bandwidth, free disc space and free use of the software for any topic we want?
Uh, Ok!
Where do I sign up?

Wow, the original post was off topic!
Dogs are OK, but not many dog owners are not.

I live in a tick infested area.
I never used duct tape to pick them off. I usually find them in a hairy part of my body.
Duct tape? Ouch!

I have an REI shell that is three layer goretex. It has lasted. I carry a small umbrella too.
