  1. I really like patches. because they are kinda like geocoins, they can be so unique
  2. Supposedly it's located just off of Three Mile Island. I believe that the cache in question is my Psycho Urban Cache #9 - Hot Glowing Tribulations, and, if so, the following facts are relevant: the final stage of the cache is NOT located at or near Three Mile Island (aka TMI, located in eastern PA), but only successful and approved pre-qualified finders know where the final stage is located. Yes, it is true that there are numerous rumors extant among geocachers who have NOT found this cache that the secret location of the third stage is somehow associated with TMI, but this is simply not true. while it IS required that pre-qualified and approved seekers of the final stage must wear a Tyvek protective bunny suit along with a PAPR respirator (I have a number of loaner suits and PAPRs here), it is neither required nor recommended that seekers attempt to wear a so-called "radiation suit", and, in fact, wearing such a suit would be extremely counter-productive, due to the fact that the rather high levels of high-energy beta radiation at the site would, once it struck the lead layer in the suit, produce copious amounts of harmful gamma radiation which could and would impact the wearer. the reason that pre-qualified and approved seekers of the final stage are required to wear a Tyvek protective bunny suit along with a PAPR respirator is simply due to the fact that the site is heavily littered with both radioactive dust and with toxic chemical waste in the form of dust, liquids and sludge/gels (i.e., on surfaces and in puddles on the floor) and the site is also infested with rodents such as mice and rats which carry both hantavirus and plague (i.e., Yersina pestis, the bacteria which causes so-called "bubonic plague and which is endemic to many rural regions in this part of the eastern USA.) Thus, the ONLY purpose of the Tyvek protective bunny suit is to help to protect the wearer from accruing significant levels of the dust or liquids/gels/sludge on their skin and clothing, and to keep them from inhaling significant amounts of the radioactive and toxic dust. Hope this helps! HOLEY MOLEY at the moment, i'm still having difficulty finding caches in long grass in an open space. i've only found 6 caches total though.
  3. yeah thats what i assumed, the only reason i really even considered the alternative is that on the stats it then showed as a dnf, despite having found it originally. i don't really care about the stats but it had me thinking. Thank you for you quick response.
  4. quick question actually, kind of on topic. i'm new so i dont' quite know the answer. I went to a cache and logged a DNF after an extensive search. i went back a couple weeks later and found it. what do i do, do i turn my DNF into a Find, or do i jsut post a new log sayign i found it.?
