Visit either Ararat or Beechworth (I recommend Beechworth) and visit the Insane Asylum for a ghost tour. Plus there is a cache nearby

Our list of states:
Massachusetts, DC, Maryland*, Virginia*, Georgia***, Tennessee, Arkansas*, Missouri*, Kentucky*, Alabama*, Mississippi*, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah*, Montana, Idaho*, Wyoming, Colorado*, Nebraska*, South Dakota, North Dakota**, Washington and California.
* Dipping into long enough to get a cache.
** Is still up for discussion
*** A quick virtual at the airport

Doc and I are going to America in May for 8 weeks. We'll be visiting 24 states, 1 District and 2 provinces by the time we are done. So if anyone wants to meet up, let me know and I can tell you how close and what dates we'll be closest to you.

I think it's a great idea. I have one making it's way to a friend. Hopefully when he has retrieved it, he'll send it back to me

I've found a lot of mini lollipops, party poppers and bullet shells in caches locally. I've removed them every time but not sure what the appropriateness level of each item is. Should I be saying something in the logs?

Does this count as crazy? Cache page
Driving up to Beechworth, I knew it was going to be a bit soggy with the rain. I should have taken this into consideration. First one to the car park, sat in the car for awhile. When I did get out, I got to meet several people.Next time someone suggests a game at one of these things, I may think twice. Off to find a swan, I soon had the coordinates to a location and I was on the trail. Following the app, I went up and over the hill. Some later suggested I should have gone around the bottom. Down the embankment, I was soon on less than solid ground. After checking the compass, realised I was heading the wrong way. Turned around to head in the right direction and that's when trouble set in.
One foot sunk to above the ankle and the walking stick lost it's rubber stopper. Digging in the sludge, I soon had that back but I was stuck fast. A lovely young man named Jake (not sure which team) came down to give me a hand but I was still stuck. Enter our charming host. Before I knew it, I had almost face planted. A combination of crawling and the occasional allowance of being able to walk, we slowly made our way back.
Unfortunately disaster struck after the third game of Sam-fall-down. On attempting to get up, the ankle went one way, the knee went another way and I went down like a sack of...umm...potatoes. While sitting on my backside waiting for the pain to subside enough to move, a lovely gentleman retrieved what I had been aiming for and brought it over to me.
After finally getting to a spot where walking was a little easier, we soon had me upright and hobbling out of there. Washing the mud of my hands was almost a relief and by this point I had forgotten the cold. It was also somewhere around this time that the rain stopped.
Into the geomobile and up to the high school, met up and was able to talk to some lovely cachers I had not met before. Swapped a pathtag, got some clues and collected a TB. After this it was time to head home to Benalla and the telling off from Doc when we were both home.
Tip: Avoid lake beds after a week of on and off rain
EDIT: This was also smiley number 200 for us

Hi I have recently brought a Geocache dog collar with 2 x trackables for my Pooch who goes everywhere with me. In-fact he finds anything that is not natural in the environment and on many occasions it has been a cache. I have searched everywhere and cant find how to Register him, Prefer him to be on my page or do I need to open an account in his name? please help love peace and sunshine mummakazz
I would just register his collar TB and name it after him. You can upload photos of his travels and he is linked back to you.

Hi,
I will be attending a wedding in Kyabram the first 2 weeks in March. While I'm there I not only want to grab at least one cache but I'd like to meet other cachers. So I was thinking of hosting a quick meet & greet - I'm the event queen in my area
. Since I don't know the area I'm not sure where to have it. From Google Earth I can see a park within walking distance to my hotel but thought a cafe' would be good too.To get to the point I'm trying to find a local cacher to assist me. I have a few door prizes (including geocoins) already packed and a nice thank you gift for the person that helps me.
Anyone out there from that area that can help????
Thanks so much!!!

This is will be my 3rd visit to Oz. The first 2 times I was in the Melbourne area (Croydon) and also visited Mount Gambier. This was the same years that geocaching was "discovered" so I didn't know about it. Saw there was a cache in the park across from my friends house (the same friends I'm going to see in Kyabram now). They wanted to go find it & sign my name since we played cricket there. I wouldn't let them do it of course and now it's been archived.
I regularly visit Kyabram. There are 2 parks that would be great for this. Edis Park and out the front of the Fauna Park. Email me if you'd like to discuss further

You speak of discovering the same "TB/GC" as if they're the same thing. A TB or any other trackable is different than a Geocache. The main difference being that a Geocache doesn't move. So yes, it's silly to log a find on a Geocache twice because you already know where it is from the last time you found it, so how can you consider it another "find".
A cache near us was muggled and subsequently adopted by another local caching team. When the new coordinates popped up, the witchjy half of us went looking for it and logged it again. We believe this is acceptable as double-logging as the coordinates had moved more that 10 feet AND the cache was in a new container.

Don't forget Drop Bears

The pair of us will be travelling around the US for two months and plan to hit a couple of caches in each location we stay in. I have dozens of animal cards that one of the supermarkets were giving away. They have a photo of an Australian animal and a piece of information about it. I figured it might be a bit special to have something Aussie from the travelling Aussies

I'll definitely look up some favourites
We are planning a big drive from Billings to West Jellystone, down through the Big Boobies NP, across to Mount Rushmore, back across to Cody and then back to Billings...amongst other things -
Hi everyone. We will be in Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota and Seattle in late Mid June to Mid July. Just wondering if anyone can recommend some good caches, small size or bigger. Also wondering if there will be any events on during that time? Thanks

I recently tried to climb a mini mountain, scraped the back of my leg with the car door before I even started. Then I nearly went head first into a tree. I really need to learn my own limits with a walking stick but the cache was too tempting
. Since I don't know the area I'm not sure where to have it. From Google Earth I can see a park within walking distance to my hotel but thought a cafe' would be good too.
geocaching group around Ft Campbell?
in How do I...?

I would suggest you look in the appropriate regional board
