  1. My closest unfound cache is 1.1 miles (1.8km) away. I have not yet even tried to find it. In two days I will travel about 4,600 miles (7400km) to go caching.
  2. Why do you want to watch somebody else's cache? You couldn't find it and want to see if somebody else does before you try again? It's a TB hotel?

    Fin:kysyisin

    Lapsena puhuin Suomea, nykyaan puhun paljon mielummin Englantia. Mielellani autan keta vain kirjoitusten kaantamisessa tai korjaamisessa.
  4. Soft items in baggies often end up stinky. The cup is sturdier and kind of looks like a specimen container - perfect for a creature like that. So I vote for #2.
  5. Hei - mista ma saan ostettua tollaisen hienon en ole eksyksissa paidan? Taytyyko oikeesti asua Suomessa etta saa aanestaa? Kelpaako etta siella kay kerran vuodessa? Minulla on noin 60 loytoa Suomessa.
  6. Tilasin juuri 13 TB tagia. 13 * $4.25 = $55.25, postikulut $7.35. Yhteensa siis $62.60 eli yhden hinta on $4.82. Katsoin kolmesta eri lahteesta vaihtokurssin, niiden mukaan $1 on noin 0.794 Euroa. Eli yhden tagin hinta on Euroa 3.83. Kymmenelle niista on jo ostaja, kolme on viela tarjolla. Olen Hesassa 1.7.-16.7.
  7. Olen tarjonnut tata aikaisemminkin, mutta ei ole koskaan ollut kiinnostusta: Asun USA:ssa. Olen tulossa Suomeen Heinakuussa. Voisin hyvin tilata taalla ollessa TB tageja (ja muitakin tuotteita) ja Suomessa ollessa myyda ne halukkaille kustannushintaan. TB:t esim maksavat $4.25 (noin Euro 3.30) kappale jos ostan 8+, postimaksu $5.00. Jos olet Hesassa niin voin tuoda ne suoraan kateen, muuten voin lahettaa ne sinulle. Onko kiinnostusta?
  8. Tilastotieteilijana ehdottomasti suosittelen etta aanestyksessa otetaan huomioon katkolla kayneiden maara. Mina esim. etsin katkoja vain Helsingissa, mutta on mahdollista etta jossain muualla on ihan hirveen upea paikka, mina vain en sita ole viela nahnyt. Minua kylla kiinnostaisi nahda lista Hesan parhaista paikoista, se auttaisi minua suunnitelemaan vierailuni Suomeen ensi kuussa.
  9. I was under the impression that it was against the law to re-use a stamp, even one that had not been canceled. Not that I admit to having done it myself, recycling stamps was easier when they were attached to the envelope with spit instead of glue like today.
  10. Maybe that could be a new shipping category: $3.50 priority $1.50 standard $0.75 pre-used envelope
  11. Henkilokohtaisesti tykkaan eniten pyoreista "kolikoista". Suomen kartta jossa nakyy Napapiiri olisi hyva. Enta poro? Eihan se koko Suomea edusta mutta se on jotain joka erottaa Suomen monesta muusta maasta. Joku Suomenkielinen teksi olisi aika janna ulkomaalaisille.
  12. Last time I sent a package I splurged and spent the extra 15 cents for a faster delivery. It took 10 days to deliver the package one state over.
  13. If you didn't ask for delivery confirmation, do you ever wonder if the sender/recipient is lying? I get packages from Europe all the time. Every time they are sent "surface" which supposedly takes 4-6 weeks. Every time they arrive in 5-7 days. That is faster than many packages within the U.S.
  14. Olin autolla matkalla rannalle ottamaan kuvia bugista kun stoppi-merkin takaa eteeni ajoi auto pysahtymatta. Siina kului pari tuntia keskella tieta seisten ja sheriffia odotellen. Mina ja bugit kunnossa, auto ei. Sen jalkeen oli jo pimeaa ja ei enaa mikaan kuvailu huvittanut. Onnistuin kuitenkin TB:n jattamaan laheiseen katkoon.
  15. Voisiko "alkukesa" tarkoittaa Heinakuun alkua, vai onko se jo keskikesaa?
  16. I'd say definitely write an article. If I had relied on word of mouth I would never have discovered the hobby. You have to register and create an account before you can view co-ordinates on the web page. You have to buy/borrow/steal a GPSr and learn to use it before you can do anything with the co-ords. Then you have to hike into the woods and find the plastic box. That is a lot of work just to cause a little bit of harm. I can't believe that many people want to do that. After the initial investment geocahing is a rellatively cheap hobby, and it is healthy, too. So definitely it would be good for college students.
  17. Jos meinaatte tilata taalta USA:sta TB tageja niin kertokaa mulle paljonko jouduttte niista maksamaan postimaksuja ja tulleja. Mina voisin ehka tilata niita ja lahettaa teille itse suoraan "lahjana", se saattaisi tulla halvemmaksi. En tieda onnistuisiko ja olisiko tama vaivan arvoista, mutta ainakin asiaa voisi ehka harkita.

    Whining

    Was there a note attached to the TB stating its goal and timeframe? I "hate" it when I pick up a bug with no travel documents, and when I log it in it has a very specific goal in the opposite direction of my travels.
  19. Those of us who have been vaccinated against TB always test positive for it on this side of the pond. This causes some not-so-fun moments at the doctor's office.
  20. I will be in Helsinki in the beginning of July. If you have a TB (travelbug, not tuberculosis) that would like to come to the US with me, get in touch with me so we can figure out in which capital area cache you could leave it for me to pick up. I will be bringing some American TB's with me as well. Tulen olemaan Hesassa Heinakuun alussa. Jos sinulla on travelbug joka haluaisi tulla mukanani USA:han, ota minuun yhteytta niin voimme sopia minne paakaupunkiseudun katkoon voit sen jattaa minun noudettavaksi. Mina tuon sinne pain pari Amerikkalaista matkustajaa. Happy caching!
  21. I have already logged this cache so I can not help you, but to make it easier on others, why don't you name some of the bigger cities that are near these co-ordinates? Most people would know their home co-ords, but if somebody is planning a trip out of town he/she might not know immediately that he/she would be able to help with this. Good luck, it's a fin cache.
  22. Please make sure that in the cache description you mention that we have the land owner's permission to be there (if it is not in a public area).
  23. Jos loydat USA:sta kontaktin niin saat laitteen noin hintaan $400 mika pitaisi olla noin 300 Euroa. Lisaksi postikulut ja vakuutus mika ei varmaankaan ole kuin joku $20. Ehka olenkin katsonut vaaraa mallia.
