I've cached a few times in Cashion, Oklahoma. It was always fun to say you've been cachin' in Cashion. Oklahoma - A great caching state.

I used to like the feeling of belonging to a secret society, of sorts, and that the things you look for can be found by anybody in the world who had the right coordinates loaded in their GPSr. It is still a thrill to find a cache, especially in a remote location. I still love that I am taken to places that I would have NEVER have gone to unless I was searching for that particular cache. The location doesn’t have to be the Grand Canyon every time, but just some obscure and interesting place that I wouldn’t have had a reason to visit before I became a cacher. I like driving through several small towns in a cache run, getting a couple of caches in each town, and witnessing those portions of each particular town that I would never have gone to see unless I was caching.

Our family has TOTALLY quit geocaching, mostly because of gas prices. It feels great too. What a burden off of my shoulders. My kids used to bug me to death to go out geocaching. But after a while, it got old. Too many carpy caches out there with a bunch of junk in them. We always used to trade up, and for what? More junk from disrespectful cachers (if you want to call them that). Glad to be out of the game. We have found much better things to do. Cache ya later!!!!!!! Bummer that your family and you soured on the game. Enjoy your much better things to do. I still enjoy caching very much and the cost of gas hasn't affected my enjoyment of the game at all. It is still very inexpensive. Try taking a family of four bowling. Yikes! I wouldn't say we soured on the game. It's more like rude people and the economy has. The rude people are the ones who don't trade up. Drives me nuts. As far as gas prices, they will CRUSH this country. Brace yourself. Sooner or later, you will feel it too. One thing you are right on....try bowling with a family of 7! I can relate to what you are saying. I have thought a couple of times about archiving my caches because sometimes my ammo boxes come up empty after a few visits. I'm not sure there is any solution other than to either restock them or archive them. I guess that's part of the game. Sure can be a bummer, though. So far I have chosen to restock....

I was wondering whether the gas crunch has affected your roaring around in the powerboat. Just curious.......

I usually refer to them as the evil spawn of satan, but that's just my opinion.

Yep, that's the stuff. You should see the little buggers crawl up your pants leg just so far until they curl up and die. The treated clothes last up to six weeks and through six times in the laundry. Excuse me, I just remembered I need to get some more on order....

OK, how do you get through the other way? I think this is criminal activity. http://www.keenpeople.com/index.php?option...t&Itemid=87 You won't see much else. (Might just be a cached page for me) Well, I guess that's something. Thanks for the info.

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!

I don't know how you can beat a regular steel ammo can. I had one that was under water for weeks and I had to dig out of a sand bar. The inside and all its contents were perfectly dry. Today I found one that was hidden in a marshy area that had also been flooded. The last time it had been found was October 2006. It was partially submerged in mud. When I opened it, the inside was perfectly dry. As others have said, and I agree, AMMO CANS RULE!!

I just wanted to express my appreciation for the work that is done to improve this site. I was one of many who was frustrated during the slowdown, but I appreciate the effort to restore the service. Thanks.

I would abstain because there is always the possibility of being confronted by the men in blue any time I am sneaking around looking for a cache. But afterwards, .....that's a different story.

Here we go again, fixing something that wasn't broken in the first place. Sheesh!

For Oklahoma it's N35°32.2' W097°39.6' .

I've never posted a picture of a dog in a cache log, but I like the idea.

That 45mm cartridge must be some pretty big ammo.

You put that more eloquently than i may have. Thank you. I can hardly understand several of their posts. Amen.

I've found that you can adjust this by slightly bending the sides of the lid (the ears?) farther apart with a rubber mallet. If you bend them too much, they can be readjusted using the mallet. Worked for me several times, anyway.

I think I would like the new maps, but I can't get it to show the caches here at home. The "spinner" just sits there spinning. I know it can be a good thing, because it works fine at work. It would be a shame to "have to" get DSL and upgrade my computer just to see a map of the cache location. The way it is now, I would MUCH RATHER go back to the old maps. They worked fine!
