  1. It seems there was an event recently in Georgia where one cacher picked up a whole bunch of bugs and dumped them into a Travel Bug Prison in Marietta. This prison has a one-for-one trade "rule", which means it could be quite some time before those bugs are released.

     

    If you're in the area, I know my bug in there would prefer to not be trapped in a travel bug prison, and I'm sure most of the others wouldn't either.

     

    When I go there, it is "Ye Olde 41 Travel Bug Motel".

     

    Oh...I see, you changed the name because you didn't like that your TB that was sent off into the wild is prone to the rules of caches it visits. I get it. :D

    Welcome to the world of TBs.

  2. You are going to get a lot better response to this if it was posted over on the main section, unless it copies another active thread.

     

    Agreed....unless it is particular to the South and Southeast it would be best over there.

    I watch this forum to get away from the more general posts and there may be others that do the same.

     

    There seems to be a few of these type of threads showing up over here.

    Hope this isn't a trend or I might only be watching the Announcement forum soon :)

    P.s. Oh...and nothing personal to those posting those messages, I just prefer specific S&SE items.

  3. We need your thoughts.

    If there WAS a fun fulled two day (weekend) Geocaching ADVENTURE in the planning, would you be more inclined to attend one scheduled in early November or late February early March????

     

    (All geocachers would be welcome and it MIGHT take place around the Birmingham, Alabama area)

     

    I think it might depend on the 'ADVENTURE'.

    Early November is sometimes still hot/humid in the south.

    I would lean more towards late winter myself....if I could make it.

  4. If the owner is unresponsive, as someone already mentioned drop it in a nearby cache (although might confuse someone else who grabs it and then is stuck with it) or better yet drop it in the TB Graveyard.

     

    Hopefully the owner will respond and grab it.

  5. I was just wondering if yall knew of any cache's in or around stone mountain state park in nc.

     

    thanks

     

    This post caught my eye as I live near Stone Mountain in Georgia and was unaware there was one in North Carolina.

    I have a bookmark list for the one in GA, but that one won't help you.

     

    Best I know is using the nearby search feature: caches near Stone Mountain Park

     

    Maybe some locals can post recommendations of which ones to do.

  6. You just didn't do your homework. You must have cached blind (ie no planning).

     

    Homework?

    Sad that you have to work at weeding through alot of caches to find the good ones.

    Of course you do have to do some planning for a trip, but weeding through the caches in a large metropolitan is way more work that should be required for a trip to stay fun.

    Still the best way to go would be the 'r' word, but we won't even bring up that word and start the arguments.

  7. Wish I could say I haven't heard stories such as this before.

    It is alot more common today more than when I started caching.

     

    I'll just recommend you check out all the listing services, as another one may be more to your liking. If you want more details then P.M. me.

  8. hey all we need a few more in the Middleton / Bolivar area of Hardeman county TN

    does anybody in the area want to hide some I would like to hide a few but at the moment I am a full time student without a job so I am short on money to spend hiding or hunting them if anyone would like to hide one or whatever please post here :unsure:

     

    I suggest looking into one of the TN caching groups here, and maybe focus on your studies in English......particularly punctuation.

  9. I have been thinking about a bookmark list called "Spoilers to Tharagleb's Puzzle Caches", which will give the coords to all my puzzle caches. Why? Because I want people to find my caches, even if they don't like to do puzzles. What do you all think of that idea?

     

    A late reply to this post since the latest post brought my attention to this thread.

     

    As the owner of the caches and answers you place on the list, you certainly have the right to do so.

    However, you should put some thought into the thoughts of those who worked hard to solve the puzzles and find the cache and that then someone else is given a "free ride".

    At least a concession should be to not add a newly placed cache and answers to the bookmark list until ample time is given for those who want the satisfaction of finding it via the puzzle to do so.

     

    But I like thinking outside the box such as this and you are right that the goal is to have people find your caches.

  10. Sometimes things have a strange way of coming around.

     

    I was reading an RSS feed of Hackaday where the post referenced another blog that mentions the website Phoneswarm.

    Nothing special so far until I noticed the word "geocachers" in the post.

     

    So I followed the links around and found that Phoneswarm posts interesting phone booth numbers that people call and enter what happens.

    Seems one caller got a group of Geocachers.

    Here is the log: log by Furbrat for Santa Monica Pier Webcam

  11. Not sure why the media keeps putting out new articles and referencing old stories (look at the times the events occurred).

    Seems like they are just trying to get people against caching.

    P.s. Not sure why this is in the South and Southeast Forum.

    Can we please only post things related to South and Southeast here? Thanks.
