The same people also found my micro this morning and mentioned how they really tried to be stealthy. I think they probably used good judgement. Hopefully the people involved will be descrete also. Just check on it occasionally, if it turns up missing archive it and place another somewhere close. I need another one to find anyway.

My wife and I were searching for a cache in a local nature park. She had the GPS and was walking back and forth on the raised boardwalk as I was scouring the terrain for a likely hiding place. I looked back and she was on her knees bringing the GPS from head high to the deck of the boardwalk repeatedly. She finally said "It has to be under here because when I get close to the ground it reads 0 feet." I looked under the boardwalk and sure enough there it was. Now try to explain to someone who has had that experience , that the GPS is not a cache magnetometer. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Sounds like fun to me. I don't like to limit myself. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I seldom use the state map feature unless I want to look up a cache in another state for some reason. I just use the closest to my zip function. If I really want a map view I use photomaps. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I like to leave real ones they don't take up much space only cost a buck or two and are usually one of the first things to go. I saw a cache somewhere that was a lotto ticket exchange. You drop one off and take one. Also for my caches I like to refurb them with Blockbuster video cash cards. They cost $5 on up. Nice item for a first finder prize too.

There are a million photos available on the net. If you don't have the equipment or gumption to go find the actual nonlocation then just sit at home on your computer and scan through webshots, yahoo photos or whatever else you can find and post it as a find. Post any coordinates you want nobody will ever check.As it was pointed out in another post, "It's all about the numbers". Instead of looking for locationless caches, just find someone with 400-500 finds and go to there log list. Usually pretty interesting reading. I just read one guys page that showed he'd found caches in NE., Ca., VA. and New South Wales all in the same day. Man, now that's caching.

It's the "when" that scares me. If would be a little more comforting The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Mosie and I decided to do a letter box yesterday. No coordinates no GPS....I felt naked. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

People ask for an opinion and then get upset because they don't like an answer. If you set up poll, don't be surprised if everyone doesn't agree with you. They may even have a valid point you may not have thought of. I never disagreed with the answer. I disagreed with the spelling lesson. I really wanted to know what people thought. I don't see what you're trying to say. The poll buttons aren't working anyway so I've asked that it be removed. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Why don't the poll buttons work? [This message was edited by freelens/mosie on January 01, 2003 at 06:26 AM.]

1. I've placed 3 caches and have had excellent response time and approval for each. 2.Of the 35 caches I've found so far I would say that everyone of them showed me something of interest that I'd never seen before. Some are better than others but I've not seen a bad one yet. (Reminds me of another of my favorite sports) 3. I think the PTB have gone out of their way to be accomodating. If your cache is not approved you can try to explain to the approver via email why you have bent the rules or you can put your case to the forums. The path least appreciated by me is that of the whinner. 4. That said I can see when .1 miles can be a bad rejection criteria. If the cache is on the otherside of a river or deep canyon might be one. But the rule is there for a purpose, to keep someone from stepping all over your cache. I recently placed a cache in the same park as 2 other caches. They were all more than .1 miles apart but I emailed the other 2 cachers to see if they had a problem with another one so close. If you had a favorite spot that you picked out for a cache and someone else threw another one down next to yours, do you think that would be cool?

Troll?? Mole?? Man if you guys have as much trouble finding caches as you do figuring out this thread is a joke and who is behind it, then the caches in your area are pretty safe. Heh

Think what you are saying. It's cache in and trash out not the other way around. It would think it to be a pretty good hide however. Most people wouldn't touch it if it were in plain site. In Florida a coffee can wouldn't last a week and the plastic bag becomes soaked. If it actually does stay dry, snakes love to use them to warm up. Shudder The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

But only if you put your cache in the small one, then put it in the bigger one, then put it in the..... 5 nests are usually sufficiant for a month or 2. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I understand your wish to keep things as pristine as possibile for your sport. I just think maintaining a cave must be a lot like maintaining a ruin. When do you know when you have done enough? Do you sacrifice some caves to tourism to get cash to purchase more holes in the ground? Just asking. It seems like a nice sport but doesn't make as much sense as hiding stuff in the woods for people to find.. Uh wait a minute, maybe I need to think on this some more. Don't get me started on preservation of battle fields. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I don't like horns either. Maybe it's a geography thing. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Usually the last meal of the day. It goes back to at least biblical times. They must have thought the fad had run it's course when they took a pitcher of what they thought was the last one. We had a series of Tupperware ladies in my hometown of Crazy Woman, Wyoming. They went broke because everyone thought the tupperware shoes were a little uncomfortable and the hats just looked stupid.....even for Wyoming. People just stuck with there original Levi evening ware. Paradigm shifting is virtualy unknown in Wyoming. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I've never heard of a ammo can what is it? The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I use the flexible type of magnet with adhesive backing. You can by a roll of it at craft stores. Just cut to size with scissors, peel off the paper backing and stick it on. It will not come off...it will barely pry off. The magnet is a little weak but if you stick another strip to whatever you want it to stick too then it's magnet to magnet and becomes stronger.

My next 3 bugs will probably not carry the dog tag and chain, just the number. That way if it goes missing it is easy to just send out another using the same number. If I do send the tags along, I'm considering some modifications to them first. Make them more of an integral part of the bug. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I've been thinking for sometime now that this is a womans game. They just let men come along incase they need protection. Women are natural gatherers and finders of things. Men, or at least most deer hunters I know, would be content to sit in a tree and wait for something to walk by and blast it. That's a man's way of huntin'. A GPS is only good for getting their drunken butt back to the truck. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Why is it necessary to have a password to login to a commercial site? Never have quite understood that one. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
