ok. thanks... I retract my question.

Did you see the reference picture right under the GeoArt image?

I think the line is how much control the CO is flexing. If a cache is placed in an area with known, consistent and posted times, I can plan ahead and I'd be ok with that. If the CO is, as the OP posted: 'releasing the coordinates every 7-10 days', its the luck of the draw of when the cache is available.

Premium Member 15348 Found it Jan/11/2021 I want to thank myself for placing and my well deserved FTF. Favorite for FTF. More later --------------------------- Published under a sock puppet account. Found under their main account.

Fun note about lamp post skirt hides in the winter. While you would think a lamp post in a parking lot is accessible year round, that lamp post just might be where they end up piling all the snow from the lot. There have been a few times that I've approached a lamp post, only to turn around because there is a 10 foot pile of snow right at GZ. Depending on how bad the winter is, it could be closer to summer before all the snow has melted.

And that is where region subjectivity creeps in. "Not Available During Winter" around me simply means in will get covered by snow, when it does snow. It doesn't mean you shouldn't look for it, but rather it will be much harder to find. "Seasonal Access" is a much better attribute to indicate that you might not be able to search at all during the winter.

The definition changes depending on where you live. The two definitions that I've seen for "Not Available": 1) In areas that get a lot of snow, it usually indicates that the cache might get covered in snow. 2) In areas that have seasonal access, it usually indicates that an area is close during the winter. And of course "Is Available" is the opposite of those two.

Yeah.. the Utah looked like it was carefully planned. The Romania one looked like to was cobbled together from left over scraps.

There stills to appear to be a time stamp bug in regards to Local Time vs Coordinated Universal Time. I have at least one Lab that the Complete date is recorded on the wrong date. I logged a Lab at 6pm Pacific Time , but the date was time shifted to the next day because that is 2am UTC.

Its one of my wishes that Labs caches could have their dates edited. Each stage has a Complete date, so why can't the Completed date be editable? Its just a database entry. You can edit the date on all other caches.

Looking at trails maps, and if I was visiting the area, I would park at [33.090721, -96.707246]

Sounds like the Preserve has allowed to OP to place caches in the preserve and has also appointed the OP as the manager of any future placements. No conflict.

Letchworth Fall Gathering didn't happen this year.

A long standing irk.... people that casually refer to Geocaching.com as GC,Com. This is especially irksome when it is typed out and auto hyperlinked. I wouldn't be bothered if GC,com wasn't an actual website, but it is,

Same thing could be said about paddle caches. There are over 100 such caches near me and there are people that won't be able to get them. Currently there are only about a dozen bonus caches near me.

Was talking about this over the weekend. One analogy that was brought up: If you take a picture of a loved one, and they die... do you throw out the photo?

This is starting to devolve into a side discussion, so to bring it back around to universal discussion.... T ratings should be world wide based. A T2 in the Alps should also be a T2 in the Sahara. I understand that regional bias does creep into the ratings, but when I travel, it is nice to have the same expectation everywhere.

I frequently visiting the Project-GC Checker request forum, just to see what what people are trying to create. For Lonely Caches, there has been a shift in the definition. The traditional definition of "The gap between my find and the previous find" gets denied. People have redefined lonely as some arbitrary amount of found logs a caches gets in a year. There have been a few other variations too, but not enough for me to offhand remember what the requests were.

I would have be 0/1 and done for the day.

Lets see... Bowling and Tennis are both classified as a sport. Personally I've tried both, and while I like both, I prefer one over the other. Because of this fact, I choose not to do one of them. Now, this doesn't invalidate the one I don't participate in. And I don't shake my head at those people that choose to do the one I don't. I have my preference and they have theirs.

Cold wet rain that just turns an area to mud. Stupid Mother Nature.

I have some Lab Caches in 2015 I wish I could fix. It shouldn't be a hard issue to edit a date, but alas, I'm stuck with them.

Interesting discovery.... apparently any travelbug that I own that isn't already in my hands, I can't "Grab". Or at least I haven't discovered a way. It looks like I should have grabbed it before adoption.

I'm having a similar problem, Just adopted a coin and its only letting me "Mark Item as Missing", "Recalculated Distance" or "Lock", I went into "Edit this Trackable" and have tried both [checked] and [unchecked] "MAKE THIS TRACKABLE COLLECTIBLE", with no luck. I also made sure the Geocoin wasn't in the other persons Inventory and not Collection.

As a black and white answer.. yes, it is possible. HQ can do whatever they want. However, I think you have better odds of finding the cache on the ISS than getting a cache unarchived.
