How about locationless caches ? If it's ok to log your own moving cache, then it's ok to log your own locationless cache, or is it ?

Just put something like this: in the beginning of "Long Description" of your cache. -- Captain_Morgan&Family

Hello chasers in Sweden ! And especially in Stockholm area. Could some of you go to Viksberg cache ( http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=39074 ) and grab the travel bug Northern Bat and move it to some cache west from Viksberg ? See the travel bug: http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=12055 and possible targets for travel bug: http://www.brillig.com/geocaching/south_sweden.shtml Regards, Captain_Morgan&Family [This message was edited by Captain_Morgan&Family on January 17, 2003 at 04:26 PM.]

What a discussion... ammo vs. tupperware. Is this hobby really so depressing that you have to fight about stupid thing like this? I'm really happy we don't have ammo boxes for sale here in Finland and tupperware boxes are so expensive that people have better targets of usage for them. Fortunately we have here big plastic candy boxes that can be used as caches and they seem to be also waterproof. Regards, Captain Morgan

Try this one: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=14295 It's in Finland, but not far from the border. No one has tried to find it yet and there is also a travel bug waiting... Yours, Olli

At the end of November i found several caches in Helsinki area, and i must say i was a "bit" disappointed on some of the things i found, the worst were: - empty candy box - small McDonalds salt paperbags Regards, Captain Morgan

I forgot to say that if your opinion is that none of these logos are good, please make your own suggestion and add it to your reply.

6. Earth 7. Globe 8. Just another L 9. No thanks, none of those...

Below is first 5 suggestions for locationless cache logo. Choose the one you like best... 1. Modified from virtual cache logo 2. Greek L i.e. lambda 3. Another L 4. Map symbol star 5. No thanks, none of those...

I don't mean that the items in caches should be valuable. They just should not be broken. McDonalds toys are ok, as they are pretty good quality toys. But those in Kinder-eggs, they are usually really garbage. I do geogaching just for the fun of finding caches, but for our kids the main thing is to find nice treasure. And it's not nice to find broken toys. So we have nowadays few cheap little toys (value some 20-50 cents) in our backpack, and if the items in cache are garbage, we will take nothing and we will give those toys to our boys, instead of placing them in the cache.

Have you ever found / placed garbage in cache ? To get an idea, what i mean with garbage, see this thread: http://opentopic.Groundspeak.com/0/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1750973553&f=3000991683&m=7740938735 Regards, Captain Morgan

Moi ! Mikä mättää suomalaisilla geokätkijöillä kun kätköihin pitää panna rikkinäisiä tavaroita tai ihan arvotonta roskaa ? Mielestäni olisi soveliasta että vaihtotavara olisi ehjää, eikä myöskään mitään Kinder-munien roskaleluja... Olkaa ystävällisiä ja laittakaa jotain, mitä voisitte itsekin ottaa mielellään mukaanne! Translation: Hi! What's wrong with finnish geocachers ? Several of them seem to place broken things, or totally unworthy trash into caches. I think the things that geocachers place in caches, should not be broken, nor they should be some old Kinder-chocolade egg trash-toys... Please place something that you would personally like to find from the cache ! Or is this a global problem... ? [This message was edited by Captain_Morgan&Family on November 01, 2002 at 02:37 PM.]

If the cache is in dense forest or behind difficult terrain, it would be nice if the cache owner tells the coordinates of the starting point of the path that will lead near the the cache. That's what i will do with my next cache which will be in very difficult terrain.

I've had nick Captain Morgan in IRC and some other places in the net for several years. It's my favourite rhum and i have always 1 bottle of it at home.

Hi! As i'm sure that many people have no idea what the heck is KL, i'll tell you: Kuala Lumpur, in South-East Asia. (I checked from Tim's and Erla's cache page...)

It may be Kuwait, as i gave my brother, who works there still two months, a hint about geocaching

quote:Originally posted by welch:how long did you want to recheck? A month or two ago the situation was that when a user deleted a locationless cache log entries the pages still claimed after several weeks that the user had found that cache. But the bug is gone now, so let's forget this thread

Finnish trigpoint database probably exists too. I will ask about it from the National Land Survey of Finland. Finnish trigpoints can be found also from 1:20000 topographic maps.

It seems that this bug has been fixed by admins, thanks !

I vote for Moosiegirl's suggestion on orphaned caches having an "orphan" icon, it sounds really good for me...

Benchmark hunting is a hobby that is restricted to USA. Trigpoints have been placed for same purpose all around the world. Should these two things be merged, so every geocachers in this planet can join this hobby ? [This message was edited by Captain_Morgan&Family on October 21, 2002 at 02:41 PM.]

Should locationless caches have an own symbol that is different than virtual caches have ?

Oh well, i just asked geocachers to list things that would be nice as locationless caches and now this thread has turned to something else...
