I would just swap out the container to meet their guidelines. The parks have been really great about letting the caches already placed stay. It surely couldn't hurt to send in the form to let them know it's there as well. ------------------------------------- Hope is the destination that we seek. Love is the road that leads to hope.

Well up until these guidlines were put in place geocaches were set to be completely banned from all Maryland State Parks. I for one think conceding the ammo boxes is a very small price to pay for being able to continue the sport in these parks. I don't necsasarily agree with their point of view but I'm trying to see the bigger picture here. quote:Originally posted by BrianSnat:Yuk, another set of regulations where they ban ammo boxes. Doesn't make sense. They're concerned about the box "causing alarm". OK someone finds it and is alarmed. They call the authorities, who look at a master list and see that its a Geocache.

Thank you for the kind words! I've had a blast on this 1st 100. That first cache I did got me hooked and your enthusiam at the 1st meeting was the icing on the cake to sell me on this awesome hobby! ------------------------------------- Hope is the destination that we seek.

I'd be happy to help. I'm in Md and don't live to far. I've been caching a heck of alot lately so it'd be no problem to get him to a cache asap. ------------------------------------- Hope is the destination that we seek.

I'm trying to hit 100 before Jan 1. I'm less than 20 away and considering I started caching in mid august I think I'm doing pretty well. I've also been seeing how many days I can cache in a row. My own iron man record I guess Current record for that is 13 days for me. I've got a streak of 7 days going at the moment. I'm not ashamed to admit that the numbers matter to me. I'm not competing with anyone but myself though. I know I'll never have the most finds with folks like the Cooper Agency caching the area but I do like to see how far I can push myself. Keeps it fun for me and gives me something to shoot for. ------------------------------------- Hope is the destination that we seek. Love is the road that leads to hope.

I'm gonna be heading to Florida at the end of this week and will be staying in the Orlando area. I was hoping someone could recomend an easy cache or two that I could do while down there. I know there's a ton of virtuals I can do in the theme parks but I'd like to do at least one or two real caches as well. ------------------------------------- Hope is the destination that we seek.

We've just completed a major rehaul on our website at www.mdgps.netIf your a cacher in the Maryland area stop by and check us out! We have monthly meetings and special caching events from time to time. We've actually gotten special permission from a local park to do an afterdark halloween caching event. A rare chance to cache a local park after dark. It you haven't cached in the dark before you don't know what your missing Check it out at web page ------------------------------------- Hope is the destination that we seek.

Today having the compass in the pack saved my but. I was busy following the GPS and got turned around by the time I found the cache. GPS was having a heck of a time and eventually lost it's lock. Luckily I was able to whip out the compass and start heading in the general direction of the car. If I hadn't had the compass when the gps went on the fritz I'd have been wondering around for a while. ------------------------------------- Hope is the destination that we seek.

quote:Originally posted by garytlove:Just an observation, but some folks seem to be great at finding but don't want to do any hiding. What is your Found/Hid Ratio? Right now mine is at 60found/12Hid. Thats 5 found for every cache i Plant. How about you? I thought my ratio was getting a little out of whack so I placed another yesterday. I have 26 finds and 2 hides so far. I don't think this is bad for less than two months of caching. ------------------------------------- Hope is the destination that we seek. Love is the road that leads to hope.
