How did Nude Cacher carry in the three balloons and two marbles he left in Escape Pod "Kilo" - Centauri (no pockets!) ?

Hey! I made it into the papers!

Who moved my cheese?!!!

The incident sounds similar to the "coming between the grizzly sow and her cubs" thread.

I counted to 20 once

This reminds me of Mother Theresa in a cinnamon bun

...most people learn about it from a friend or figure it out themselves.

...it's common for newbies to be unsuccessful because they use the wrong datum.

My wife sometimes gets creeped out by the places that caches tend to be hidden. I was thinking of hiding a cache in a certain area, when she (who grew up in this town) told me it was a spot where an abducted child's body was found.

Just drill a small hole in the bottom of the pipe, so the water drains slowly. Make sure the container is much longer or much smaller than the diameter of the pipe, so it doesn't get jammed. A cap on the pipe will keep rain from getting in.

How about a REALLY big, closet sized cache, painted to look like a newsstand or a phone booth. Does anyone remember what a phonebooth is?

I think Oscar's Express was like the runner that plays the role of "rabbit" in a race -- he couldn't maintain the fast pace and emptied his gas tank. quote:Originally posted by Team GeoDillo: BTW...what ever happened to Oscar's Express?

1.Distance shown is from the zip code you searched (which may or may not be the center of town) or from your home coordinates if you supplied them. 2.Unless the hider explicitly describes the length of the hike in the cache description, there's no way of knowing how long the hike is. Maybe you could guess the distance based on the terrain rating.

Fort Lauderdale? quote:Originally posted by GatoRx:First time I've ever heard of it. Sounds like a lot of fun - too bad its not being done anywhere near me. Sorry I couldn't be of much help. ---- When in doubt, poke it with a stick.

Has anyone ever participated in the Urban Challenge? Was it worth it?

There was a very tiny bloodcurdling (although, I thought tick saliva contained anti-coagulants?) scream, and as the tick plummeted, there was a tiny trail of thick blue-black smoke. quote:Originally posted by clearpath: quote:Originally posted by Cache'N'Carry: ... It was very satisfying to watch it, as it only managed to crawl about 2 or 3 inches before it withered, died, and fell to the ground. Question: How do you know it died? Did you check its pulse?

Permethrin is an insecticide-repellant. It's sprayed on clothing (directions say to avoid skin contact). It's also the chemical used in pets' flea and tick baths. I was out caching in the woods, wearing pants and hiking boots treated with permethrin. I looked down and noticed a tick had hitched a ride on the cuff of my pant leg. It was very satisfying to watch it, as it only managed to crawl about 2 or 3 inches before it withered, died, and fell to the ground.

RiL, Q. What is a Travel Bug? A. Simply put, a Travel Bug is a new form of hitchhiker you can track on Geocaching.com. A hitchhiker is basically an item that is carried from cache to cache (or person to person) and you can follow its progress online. Q. What does a Travel Bug do? A. It's really up to the owner of the bug to give it whatever task they desire. Or no task at all. The fun of a travel bug is inventing new ideas or goals for the Travel Bug to achieve. One Bug's goal may be to reach a specific country, or travel to 10 countries. Q. How do I place a Travel Bug into a Cache? A. After you grabbed a Travel Bug from a cache and logged it on the site (see "What do I do if I find a Travel Bug?") and have the Travel Bug in your inventory, you will have an additional option on the bottom of the Cache log form to place the Travel Bug when you log your next cache. For more information, check out the "how-to page." Q. What can I do with a Travel Bug? A. You can attach it to an item to make it a hitchhiker, or use them without attaching them to anything. If you find a Travel Bug "in the wild," it should already have instructions from the Bug owner on what it's goals might be. Q. What do I do if I find a Travel Bug? A. On this page enter in the number found on the Travel Bug in the box on the upper right-hand corner of this page, and click on the arrow button. It will take you to the page where you can read about the Bug and add a log. Q. How do I get a Travel Bug? A. Travel Bugs can be found in the Groundspeak Store for $5.99 each (and discounts on 4 or more), or... If you would like to purchase Travel Bugs only, you can save on shipping by paying via PayPal below. Bugs will be shipped through the USPS in a standard envelope, with instructions on how to activate it.

First to Find at the "Stump Remover" cache.

I only cache for the magazine articles! ...keep them out of the cache. You wouldn't be able to find the same magazines at the public library. Geocaches could be considered open to the same audience, same public access as the library. (although, I seem to recall a lawsuit over whether a library had to put the braille edition of Playboy in circulation)
