opa and oma

Thanks! That link helped me in finding what I was looking for!

Trade equal or up? Ya?

So was trading in furs and fish a vital part of the economy until we learned to do without.

Also, don't forget to add wildlife encounters... 1 for chipmunks and 5 for bears/mountain lions. PS. I'm taking you seriously... oh yes I am... and there is nothing you can do about it. So there PPS. Please don't take that last PS. seriously You forgot the age of the CACHER Even though "annual" age compared to "physical/mental" age may be different.

Could you please explain to me just what the "numbers game" is? To me, the numbers are an important part of the "game". I use them how I see fit. I don't understand why you can't do the same, without making changes that would hide them from others' view. I believe the answer is "Go ahead and play your game with your numbers, but not mine. I don't want my numbers in your game." Analogy Time: A group of runners (Group A) start going to the track at the local high school. They gather and run every day at 5:30 a.m. They enjoy running, and improving their own time but not in a competitive way. Then some others (Group B) start running at 5:30 a.m., but they compete. Group B has a starting line, and someone to clock their times down to the millisecond. Group A doesn't really care for the competition other than with themselves. But they're willing to share the track, but don't want to be in Group B's competition. Group B starts including Group A's times on their race results. Shouldn't Group A have the option of not competing without hindering the competition of Group B? Group A is NOT competing. Group B is just using their times.

You trying to boost your "Post" numbers?

There was another thread about this in regards to a "HistoricalCaching" much like "EarthCaching". I would be in favor of such "caches". The "treasure" you find is in the knowledge and senses you obtain. Worth MUCH more than trinkets. What better cache than to learn something new, or see something awsome. I've tried the Waymarking. I even have a couple listed. Not the same though. You can see that by looking at the "finds" a "Virtual" or EarthCache may get compared to the Waymarks.

I was gunna say, "I smell an atty!"

I've heard on here before that you must just get a new one, and ignore the old one. I would like to change as well, so if there is something different, I'm watching

I am in total agreement with Falcon Loader. I'm bumping this thread after doing a search for just such a subject. Maybe it could be sponsored by the National Historical Society as the EarthCache is by the GSA. Yes even with its own icon like EC's. I don't understand why all the negativety to this or even virtuals in general. A lot of historical places can't or shouldn't have even a bison placed, but the "container" sought is the knowledge gained in your brain bucket.

hmmmm guess not

I guess that is why I need a link

Is there, or can there be a quick link from Groundspeak.com "choose your sight" or on the left border of geocache.com main page?
