CacheUsOut

Got it working. I was using the <a> </a> codes with no success. Thanks for your help.

How do I add a web page link when logging a find for a cache?

Geocachers in Arizona just adopted two miles of highway near a major landfill. That stretch of highway is a target rich environment for litter collection. Here's a picture from the Inagural CITO event at the site. Here's a not quite complete group shot:

The two of us were born in Morenci, Arizona and Cassopolis, Michigan. All hail Smalltown, USA. I have lived in Arizona my entire life; the other half the team moved to the sunny southwest 15years ago.

I'm for the inexpensive, nearly disposable type. I use them for Urban caching. I use the ones provided by the Dept of Transportation for Arizona's Adopt A Highway program. Wear the florescent vest and carry a clipboard and viola - urban invisibility. Add a 4 D cell MagLite for added invisibility.

I too have had enough of PayPay (aka PayPal). I have gladly paid for my premium with a check the past two years; however credit card payment would be easier. Why not "sell" the membership at the Groundspeak Store??? It already accepts credit cards.

The following is quoted from the TB info page: "Cache owners also have the ability to move the travel bug listed on their cache page to an unknown location." Is this function really available? If so, I can't seem to find it. I have a TB listed in one of my caches that was removed over a year ago. The TB owner has resisted moving it into limbo (unknown location). I have emailed the person that logged that he took the TB but he seems AWOL after 3 cache finds.

Actually Jeremy has already indicated such a change will be made. See Here ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If I want to see a sunrise, I'll STAY up for it!

Are there any guidelines for a CITO event cache? Does it have to include placing/seeking a cache? Can it be combined with an adopt-a-highway event? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If I want to see a sunrise, I'll STAY up for it!

Excellent job, Shuey. And a great choice too. We've enjoyed the sands in Clearwater at the same resort. Thanks for raising the bar for the rest of us poor souls. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If I want to see a sunrise, I'll STAY up for it!

I've been questioned by police officers twice. Once in Tempe, Arizona and another time in a West Chicago suburb. Both times I was completely honest with them and explained what I was doing. Also both times, the officers seemed very interesting in geocaching. Lastly, in both cases, the caches were not removed by the police either then or subsequently and remain active today (more than 3 months later). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If I want to see a sunrise, I'll STAY up for it!

My response to Manager's post: Geocaching.com has developed definite guidelines concerning obtaining permission of land owners/managers before placing caches. Please refer to How To Place a Cache to see the sites policy on placement of caches. If you believe a cache is place inappropriately, please email the cache owner. As a new member, this information is readily available to you from the page describing a particular cache. If the cache owner does not respond, you may submit a request to have the cache archived and a representative of geocaching.com should contact you soon. My response to the forums: I don't see anything wrong with what Manager had to say. In fact, his words are pretty much the official policy of geocaching.com. The following is quoted from the "How to place a cache" page on this site: If you place it on private land, please ask permission before putting it there! If you place the cache on public lands you need to contact the managing agency to find out about their rules. You will be in violation of federal regulation by placing a cache in any area administered by the National Park Service (US). The National Park regulations are intended to protect the fragile environment, and historical and cultural areas found in the parks. I will say that Manager's post begins in a somewhat inflamatory fashion: ''showed geocaching activities in areas that were illegal for the public to enter'' The article (posted above by stunod) clearly does not make any direct mention of such. The only reference to permission concerning property is made in the final paragraph of the article. I think what it says has some merit. When geocaching began, I feel it was more cavalier. Hiding in areas that were off limits, pursuing activities in secrecy, etc... That was two to three years ago when entire states had only a few caches in them. Those days are behind us. Sure mistakes are made and some caches are placed inappropriately. But a system is in place to police such mistakes. Contact the cache owner and ask them to rectify the problem; if this fails, contact geocaching.com authorities and ask them to remove the cache from the site. I think we, as established participants in this sport, could do a better job of allaying fears such as those posted by Manager in these forums and forego the bashing of the poster. One post or one thousand posts by an individual should not matter. Often, too many responses pertain to the person posting the thread and not the content. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If I want to see a sunrise, I'll STAY up for it!

Regular caches in AZ - two words, Rock Pile. Micros in Phoenix are often Altoid containers. Micros in Suburban Chicago seemed to lean toward pill bottles. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If I want to see a sunrise, I'll STAY up for it!

I like all kinds of caches, virtuals and even the dreaded locationless caches. Variety is the spice of my geocaching life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If I want to see a sunrise, I'll STAY up for it!
