FTF deleted--Not found during park hours!

***If you are hindering traffic and the normal flow, you can be ticketed, regardless of your speed*** True... -
FTF deleted--Not found during park hours!
TexasGringo replied to Cog&Gil's topic in General geocaching topics
***And???*** And What? Read it again...It was a Statement...where I stated a fact. -
I had a Multi-Cache not approved because it was 15' feet closer to RailRoad tracks than what was allowed. It took some time to move that stage to a new location and then change the hints in the previous stage to match the new coordinates...etc. For 15' feet I was pissed to...but at who? I guess myself for not placing that stage far enough away and double checking the distance. The reviewers were only doing their job...and caught me.

I've never used that mode on mine....

There will NEVER be another FTF on that cache...even if they deleted the log. -
What are some good puzzle caches?
TexasGringo replied to otis89's topic in General geocaching topics
***Yeah. I've seen that one, and I've already solved it. Now, like I said in the last thread it appeared in, I just need to find an excuse to drive up to Wisconsin*** When you get up here...send an email...I'll meet you there to witness the event. -

Let me know if you need further hints... http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...7a-56cef592ae5c -
Depending on the Moon's position...my Multiple Personality Disorder allows me, myself and I to log multiple FTF's.

Why Would You Just "Discover" a TB or Geocoin?
TexasGringo replied to TexasGringo's topic in Trackables
***It's a good feature, but some people don't want their bug discovered.*** The discovery feature is usefull just to know your TB (or Geocoin) is still out there in a cache somewhere. I thought one of mine was missing but a Discovery post showed up the other day. Since my TB's had no restriction on where to go...I just wondered that if you saw it...why not take it to the next cache...and I got a lot of answers of "Why". -
Why Would You Just "Discover" a TB or Geocoin?
TexasGringo replied to TexasGringo's topic in Trackables
***I discovered this thread in the Geocaching Topics forum. I am helping the thread to reach its goal by moving it to The Travel Bug forum.*** Thanks... -
If you see the TB or Geocoin in the cache...why don't you pick it up and move it to another cache? After all, you have to log that too. Why would you just write down the numbers and say you "Discovered" it? What is the purpose of that?

Trackables? Get moved or snatched by the Coin Fairy
TexasGringo replied to TeamBaitBucket's topic in Trackables
I have 7 out of 9 TB's Missing In Action. I won't invest in any more TB's except for giving them as a FTF prize...and I certainly won't invest in High Dollar Geocoins...just to watch them disappear. -
If There was a Geocaching TV channel....
TexasGringo replied to JustKeely's topic in General geocaching topics
Maybe DAWG the bounty hunter in search of caches. How about Reno 911 busting a Geocacher. -
Where do you yak about geocaching from?
TexasGringo replied to infiniteMPG's topic in General geocaching topics
***Oh yeah, please include your employee # and department name at the bottom of your posts.*** I "YAK" from my Corporate Headquarters... I can do what I want and When I want...(If I get permission from my wife) Employee ID #1 - President / CEO -
What if the satellites were unavailable?
TexasGringo replied to CarlfromOH's topic in General geocaching topics
I'd have to use my Magic 8 Ball.... Just ask it..."Am I Near The Cache?" http://animation.about.com/library/tutorials/bl8ball1.htm -
***117" of snow and 17° *** 17 degrees would be a heat wave....for the next few days we are expecting -10 actual and wind chills to -25. We have already broken the old snow record here in Madison, WI. I don't think the city has any salt for the roads left. The snow has exceded what they planned for. Most of the roads are still iced over and lots of accidents. The Geocachers here are sitting by the fireplace. Sunday it is supposed to be 36 degrees...guess I'll wear my shorts.

Difficulty 4.5 for Puzzle Caches -- what does it mean?
TexasGringo replied to cregal's topic in General geocaching topics
***may require special skills or knowledge*** That leaves me out. -
I spent a good hour looking for a cache in every possible spot...NOTHING could have escaped my eyes....except for maybe entering the correct coordinates.
-
***Ok so I didn't mean I bought just 1 rock.... I bought crap loads to landscape my yard and then I had a thought of turning one into a prop. So hence the orginal question.*** Not to worry. We, "The Forum People", are experts at picking apart a simple post and creating a major controversy. Don’t take it personally...

***Puzzles are the worse, though I've helped others solve them with my knowledge. Give me a simple, easy cache to find.. I'm not as young as I used to be.*** Then this is right up your alley. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...7a-56cef592ae5c

***This begs the question... why would you BUY a rock in a store?*** They are on sale?
