  1. I have a question... If I mention a nearby business that is world famous in my cache description, should this be considered commercial advertising and the cache be archived and another not be allowed to be created in its place even after taking out the reference to the business name? I personally have visited caches just because they were near an interesting feature, landmark, or business that was mention in the cache description. Here is the waypoint for the Original cache: GCXED8 - The Big Texan Travel Bug Hotel. Here is the new cache description (which does not have any link in it - btw.) and is still not allowed. Short Description This cache was originally place by globemasterIII. Thank you for everything you have done to create such a great cache and location! Long Description The cache is a large 18 gallon container located near an interesting restaurant in Amarillo that can't be named here. With so many visitors and I-40 and I-27 access, this cache is also a nice travel bug stop. Travel bugs can go in any direction. The cache is placed here with the owners permission. Please don't dig or disturb anything at the location. The cache is easy to find. This is not advertisement for the business near the cache location and you are not required to enter into the business located on this property to retrieve and log the cache, as a matter of fact, it is too large to easily take inside. If trading for regular trade items, please trade up or trade equal. Original contents included: big log book, pencils, alligator, decon kit (make into a cache), Mr. Potato Head, fire truck, green biner, indonesian AF patch, 7 dinosaur puzzles, beta pin, memphis pin, 1996 olympic pin x 2, FL souvineer, wizard of oz stickers, star wars stickers, toy story stickers, EMS pin, bible, cook book, Heidi the dog TB, Jesus TB, Snoopy TB, and time tracker geocoin. The prime reviewer archived the "Original" cache because I put a link on there to some information about the world famous business that is located near the cache. If you previously visited and logged the original cache, feel free to go ahead and log this new version of the cache as well as it is still at the exact same location near the unnamed business.
  2. You know what makes me so mad that I could just kneel down over a hot deep fryer and bob for hushpuppies? Forget about all this tainted spinach. Tell Popeye he aint got any worries! Forget about fido's funny fetuchine! My dog aint gonna have anymore of them problems with liftin his leg on my neighbors bike! And you can forget about the Mouse Taco's at the New Jersey Taco Bells! By the way, anything tastes good with ketchup! No what I am mad about is these so called "Cured Hams"! What in the sam hill are they cured of??? You know somebody is not tellin the truth about this! I figure you can look at this two ways. What if they didn't completely cure the ham? No tellin what kind of disease you be gettin! Is this something that maybe they may want to throw at them pinko fanatics that want to take our heads off? Could be a secret weapon of some sort maybe? Then again, I think they are not tellin us that they may have a cure for all that ills us! Just think, can you imagine doin away with compulsive excessive nose hair! My Aunt Fanny use to have a mustache on her lip when we seen her at Thanksgivin. Wasn't until a few years ago I was told she had no lip hair. Enough to shiver ya sneekers right off ya foot! And what about that contagous ingrown toe nail problem! I for one would like to see that cured. Hard enough I gotta kick ole Bessy in the booty when we have to plow up the backyard for the corn every year. I think we need that Geraldo Rivera dude to start one of them Tee Vee vestigations. Sure get the truth out then I'll betcha! Course they may get around to it after all this Anna Necole Smith crap. You did know she died din't ya?.............huh............WAKE UP UHMERIKA!!!!

  3. New T-Shirt Design! Front: She said if I go to one more Geocaching event, she's gonna leave me. or Front: She said if I buy one more thing for Geocaching, she's gonna leave me. Back: I'm sure gonna miss her.
  4. I am not trying to complain here...I really like most of the new changes and can live with the few that I don't. They are just going to take a little getting use to, but I would like to see a fix on something that has been bothering me since the new changes have begun to take effect. I just had a new cache published. On the Logged Visits, it shows 1 log entry (for the review published note) and then the new icons indicating the types of logs indicate two found logs and no publisher log. I am attaching a picture to point out what I am talking about. It would be nice to have these all zero'd out when the publisher publishes the cache and also subtract 1 from all the actual number of log entries that are shown to reflect a total number of logs that are from geocachers and not inlcude the published log entry in the Logged Visits count. Thanks.
  5. I am a cub scout leader and have already approached our local council about placing a geocache at our local camping areas. They have agreed to let me do this. This one will entail giving the cacher a starting waypoint on the boyscout property, however, from there they will have to use a compass and navigate a compass coarse to find the actual cache. As good as GPSr's are (and I do love my Magellan Meridian Color GPSr), they do run on batteries which don't last forever. I still beleive that scout's also need to know how to use an "old time" compass and map to navigate. I am still trying to figure out a way to "tie" in some other scouting skills like tying knots or using lashings to actually retrieve the cache. We have introduced our some of the scouts in our Cub Scout Pack and Boy Scout Troop to geocaching and how to use a GPS on a few of our campouts in the local area. They really seemed to enjoy it. As for the money you lost, I hope you have already contacted the local police department. We require two signatures on every check, just as was suggested in the past. It is also in our Pack's bylaws that the books be audited at the minimum, once per year. Just tonight, we had a parent/son bake off. All the scouts baked a cake and were each given a golden wooden spoon as an award for the cakes they made. Each spoon has written on it what the award was for. We do this each year. The categories for the cakes and spoonds include, but are not limited to: The longest cake, the most delicious looking cake, the wormiest cake, the most creative cake, the most realistic looking cake, the most patriotic cake, the cubbiest cake, and list goes on and on. The kids have a great time making cakes that look like worm hills with gummie worms crawling all around and cakes decorated like flags, etc. After or normal run of the mill activites like awards and announcements, we auction off the cakes. A friend of mine who is an Eagle Scout comes in and auctions off the cakes. As he auctions them off he calls the scout up that made the cake, presents them with their golden spoon, cracks a couple jokes about the cake, then auctions it off. Most of the time the kids want their cake back and the parents usually end up getting it for them. We try to let the kids to the bidding though, with their parents guidence and limits they have placed on how much they can spend. We raised a little of 450.00 tonight at our auction and were done with our meeting in about an hour. We did get a gift card for the volunteer auctioneer and his family to go to a local restaraunt for dinner as a way of saying "Thank You". The kids and parents all have a great time at this yearly bakeoff. We also do our popcorn sales in the spring. All the other packs in our council do it during the winter. It works well for us, because so many people run out of the popcorn before the years end and want to buy more. Just don't sell the choclate covered popcorn in the spring as it has a tendency to melt. I hope some of these suggestions help. If you want to contact me/us. Our geocaching user name is moonlighting, or you can visit our packs website at www.pack64amarillo.com. Good Luck!
  6. Here is how you deal with the LEO asking what you are doing. My Log Entry. You just gotta choose when you go out and having children with you certainly helps too.
  7. Here's a link to a log entry I made for our family. Don't go caching during hell week.
