I have waited since March 25th to open my Mission on Easter. Thank you so very much Harvey's Pack! I have never seen a trackable gaiter, the coins are lovely (and the tag card from LandSharks is cute!) - I have wanted to see one of these First Aid Kits for 2 years, now - and the card, gaiter Paracord Carabiner were g r e a t! A special thanks for the personalized Easter wooden nickel!

Are you sure it is not from Washington state?
Hmmm ... lessee ... "C" "A" "N" ... Nope. Definitely not Washington state ... now I'm going to open it ... OH SILLY ME! It's not from a Geocacher!!! I'm putting a photo in to show why I thought so: doesn't that look like it might be an exchange?
Now the explanation - recently we got a new-to-us 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. But Beth had a "condition": it MUST be retrofitted with a classic "Willys 4Wheel Drive" vinyl decal set, somewhere on the vehicle. No decals, no Jeep. So I've been ordering mats and wiper blades and cargo mats - and Vinyl Decals. I never thought one of the decals would come in so small a package, and I TOTALLY didn't realize that I was ordering from Langley, BC, Canada through ETSY (the order was even $US) so I thought the 4" x 6" thick-ish envelope from 'Belle & Cam' must be the Geocacher who was my Exchange Partner 😎

I can undestand you prefer ice cream where you are but, here it is 3° so I prefer to stick with buttered popcorn
I still have popcorn for my 'midnight' snack. With grated parmesan cheese instead of butterHot buttered popcorn WITH Grated Parmesan Cheese ... and granulated onion 😎 Maybe a side of Pouteen instead? Shoot - I'm getting hungry!

These made Christmas Eve very special in our house 😎. Many thanks from me to Pingos (!!!) Great Personal Trackable - wOw1 LOVE the coins and the great card! Thank you! And from Beth - so many thanks to aboudreau. I can honestly say that she was smiling very warmly at her special trackable bag and the coins were just wonderful.

So very happy to be able to participate - no matter what happens in the world. Geocachers FIND a way! Thanks again to our Mission Partners and especial thanks to Laval K9 for her years of dedication to the Happy Holidays Missions. We can't thank you enough, Claire!

And here's our Holiday wish for you all - wouldn't it be nice if we had 2 Events every year to unite the entire World-Wide Community of Geocaching®?

There are rules - it's how the guidelines are enforced.
And I thought I had this posted last Friday, but manifold are the vagaries of computing:
(bleep) - to avoid any possible deity references allowing Admin to scotch the post 😎 - (bleep) knows that I did not use 'No Rules' in the mode of Anarchy. However, as 'rules and exceptions' do not require, but Do s t r o n g l y imply a single source of criteria and interpretation, as well as 'enforcement', I strongly disagree. And that this is basic to any discussion of guidelines and their implementation on a continually one-off basis I hold this to be important.
Happy Holidays! 😁

But anyway, in the right circumstances, and as painful as it may be to see, NM and NA should be posted when necessary, on any listing. HQ can decide any special exceptions if they want, or can be convinced. But that's just it - those are exceptions to rule. I think what some people don't like is "the rule", or how hard it is to get an "exception" to it.
[Emphasis in the quote is mine - J.D.R>] Small, but I feel important, point: There Are NO 'Rules'. We have Guidelines under the caveat by HQ that I call 'The Great Disclaimer': No action taken regarding one geocache has any bearing on any other geocache' and upheld through the perceptions of individual Reviewers backed by decisions of HQ WITHOUT INTERACTIVE APPEAL AVAILABLE TO THE GEOCACHER.
That's the way it is and the situation under which, daily, I (and we all) make the decision TO GEOCACHE. Not a complaint, a statement of fact. That said I love this Sport and give back to it in all ways possible giving time from my life, my fortune, and my Sacred Honor. 😁

I LOVE Practical Geocaching for eBay 
Signal's Labyrinth - The Swamp - - Points Not Awarding?
in General geocaching topics
Posted
On 6/6/22 Bethie_Biker and I both had occasion to find 1 cache: GC8M6QE
Neither of us had logged on this cache in any way prior and we logged through CachLY, directly (not a Draft situation) with 4 bars of 4G on our iPhones with no apparent issues. On 6/7 I saw that BethieB got her 15 points but I had not, so I edited my log and submitted - my 15 points appeared. Then, later, I got the email from HQ to begin my adventure - I clicked through, and my 15 points DISAPPEARED. Editing the log DID NOT bring them, back - but I show a find of the cache on 6/6/22 through the Geocaching® website of this cache.
So, my question is: What's going on??
I had posted in a FB page for Geocaching® and one other 'cacher replied with a similar issue (not a misunderstanding of "Found" items in the Promotion but a problem with simple point award) involving several caches.
Ha-el-l-l-l-p! Ha-el-l-l-l-p! I'm drowning in The Swamp!!! [gurgle] 😎
