PSUPAUL

A place where gentlemen (term used loosely) gather for diffferent games played in the bushes.

Check out the "Let's Go Geocaching!" Brochure at Geocacher U by CYBret. Don't link to the Hamster caching page by mistake, they might get the wrong idea!

fine Someone has way too much time... This is great! A didn't get a backache like Lep but I sure laughed out loud.

You mean there are woman who would rather shop than cache? Shhhhhhh...You can save me a lot of money if the outlet thing stays quiet. I know for a fact that Mrs IMLOST knows about the Reading Outlets, in fact I think she knows about all the places to shop in the entire Northeast, Maryland to Maine! Don't try this at home, remember she is a professional...

Ah... Isn't that great! He is a lucky guy.

Yep! Why do you ask?

Pretty good story, and it lead me to a new cache placed 400 ft from where I park my car for work. I didn't even know it was placed a few days ago. Thanks, now I have two new FTF's to my name.

18704 @ 4 miles = 6 6*2/100= 0.12 Not very dense but denser than CYBret

Lucky for you!

It was a promotional tie in with the remake of the Planet of the Apes movie. They were special caches placed by the studio with help from some old time cachers. They had special prizes in them for the premier.

God gave me mine. I found a old stick by a tree, get your mind out of the gutter!

So far it seems to be just you.

Here is the link. At this point it is for organizations to sign up. Later it will be opened up to individuals.

Hey, it is probably a good idea to wear boots with those socks you forgot!

I agree also. My 93 Grand Cherokee Limited has 193,000 miles on it! Sorry, it's green, not yellow.

I think Hot happens when a certain number of replies are logged.

Way to go!

I guess it depends on how it is positioned in my eyes. If it is a blatant play to get me there and sell me something I would agree. But if a cacher happened to place a cache on the grounds aof a large garden center where people can just walk around and look at different displays, such as flower beds and water gardens instead of just rows of plants in containers then I would probably like it.

Are you assuming the Batavia mentioned is the one in Illinois? I didn't see the state referred to anywhere. The magazine's office is in Batavia Il according to its masthead. But that doesn't really mean that the photographer is based at the main office. I was just taking a guess. How about this, does anyone know a Matt Miller that caches anywhere?

Fine by me! But my opinion counts for nada.

No insult taken at all. Sorry if I came off that way. I am glad you reminded me of the opportunity to post them there and get some kudos for the ones I did!

I kind of remember the post because I think it mentioned stuff you sold, maybe?

I think it is slightly different if it is placed by the garden center owner and is hidden among the plants versus joe cacher just chosing to place a micro in Wal-Marts parking lot. Now if Sam Walton (I know, he is dead) placed one inside all of his stores. Wow, think of the caching opportunities! Still, if done correctly on a large garden center location I am not necessarily against it.

Does anyone know a Matt Miller in the Batavia IL area?

Here is a story that was published in the April/May 2004 copy of Green Profit magazine. A trade publication for the plant, flower, and garden center industry. Here is the text of the story Put Your Garden Center on the Map This Month’s idiosyncratic idea for drawing customers Geocaching is a relatively new phenomenon. To play along, a growing number of adventurous souls have gotten GPS units (costs range from about $100 to $1,000), using them to come within feet of somewhat-buried treasure (and we’re throwing around the term “treasure” rather loosely). Sites such as geocaching.com provide GPS coordinates to a list of caches in the area in which you’d like to search. (Our small town of Batavia yielded about 80 caches in the immediate area.) Punch in the coordinates given and follow the GPS unit’s instruction to what is typically a small Tupperware container or bucket, holding a variety of items left by the previous person. Such items might include maps, books, CDs, tickets, games, jewelry, beer coasters… (Clearly the pursuit is the prize.) Inside the container is a logbook in which treasure-hunters write down where they’re from, what they’ve taken and what they’re replacing that item with. Fairly often, items find their way across continents. Some caches have been found under water, on mountains or in trees, although most are more easily accessible. Join this quirky subculture and plant a cache on your property. It’s offbeat and may not yield a sale, necessarily, but sometimes compelling people to visit your business is half the battle. So, would this be a commercial cache? I was just surprised to see my friend hand me a copy of the story.
