I'm wondering if there is a way to upload a pic to my gallery without associating it with a cache. It's a spoiler for the cache and the owner doesn't want me to post it, but I want to keep it in my gallery to remember the cache.

I do this ALL THE TIME! Every day to and from work even though I know no caches are along the way!

I've actually decrypted a t-shirt before without using the key! LOL! When you post to the forums and check for new caches at work, like I am now.

Okay, most people like the frog. Surely there is someone else out there that doesn't care for Signal. Don't leave me hangin' out here by myself! If not oh well, I still love caching!

I am sorry, but I feel that it is terribly tragic that you cannot accept Signal into your heart as the Groundspeak mascot, and worse that you must taunt us with your horrible opinion! Signal is a wonderful frog, and a wonderful mascot, and her/his tragic history of physical abuse and substance abuse, the fact that one of his major pushers was a Groundspeak reviewer/moderator, and his/her multiple failed rehabs, followed by the rather unexpected gender reassignment operation and her/his appearance on Oprah's show, simply adds to the drama and to the legend that makes Signal what she/he is. In fact, I am wondering about you... ....very much so. How do I know that you are not a commie plant, or a misinformation agent sent by the Bavarian Illuminati and the Bilderberg Cabal to make us lose faith in Signal? Or an agent of an evil splinter offshoot sect of the Masons, who is now engaged in a conspiracy against Signal? What if your entire geocaching account -- and I note that it has ONLY about 500 finds in its two years of existence -- is a sham to give you a faux platform from which to preach hatred about Signal? I demand that you and your account be investigated by the appropriate authorities, for there is something very fishy about you and your post! . ROFL! Did not expect that response! Geesh! I was just curious as to how it got to be the mascot.

Thanks for the link. That's what I was wanting to know. He sounds kind of like me. "He's not very bright but he knows where he is and can point you in the direction you want to go. He's your GPS guide"

Not sure. Just never struck a chord with me. Seems childish for a mascot of a game that people run around hiding tupperware in the woods! LOL! Just kidding about that part. Just wondering how they came up with a frog for a gps game.

Just wondering how a frog was determined to be the mascot. I like the Groundspeak logo but not the frog. Surely there could have been a better choice.

If the log book is wet or no space, no big deal. Log that as a find but make sure to let the owner know it needs maintenance. I've had some containers I can't get open cause it was rusted shut. Still logged that as a find.

Okay, first of all what's the point of caching if you log finds that you didn't find? Might as well not even go out looking. Just mark finds on geocaching.com site and save the time and effort of going out. I've found some of the contents of a cache before laying on the ground and still not claimed it as a find because the container was missing. It was archived the next day so I never got the find. Okay done with my ranting on that. I was caching blind one day. (no printouts or pda) and went to a mystery cache thinking it was the real location. Well it wasn't. My fiance and I went onto maximum security prison grounds! Got out of the car and saw the guy in the watchtower raise the binoculars and then get on the phone (yeah, we were that close!). I guess two people wandering aimlessly around holding some device on federal property looked odd. go figure. None of the guards knew what we were talking about when we tried to explain caching and within about two minutes of getting out of the car we were escorted off the grounds! I guess that's a lot better than what could've happened! If someone is going to give fake coords, they should at least put them where nobody will get arrested if they go there!

I got introduced to caching while working a night shift, so most of my first finds were made before the sun came up. I was surprised how easy it was once I looked in the daylight! Now I do most of my caching in daylight because I swiched shifts and I'm spoiled! Need to go on some night runs again. It's more of a thrill if you ask me! But I recommend going with someone else.

Does anybody know where to get some geocaching related wallpaper besides the signal mascot?

What level is it when after dreaming of caching, you wake up with it on your mind, download new waypoints, run out to the car and then think, "I should probably put on some pants!"
