"What we have here is a failure to communicate"... Cool Hand Luke, 1967

Everybody has their "own" (quotes intended) internet speak... I wouldn't read too much into it...

We should all take the lead from people like briansnat & Keystone... There is never a reason to get rude... (I know I'm just as guilty as anyone else, but rerstraint is the best approach)... I guess that's why they are moderators...

I don't think it was presumptious, but the use of "U" (and why in quotes and caps?) instead of "you" is considered rude in email. Tomato... Tomatto?

I agree...

The only "survivor" shows I watch are the ones with Les Stroud and Bear Grylls... "SURVIVORMAN" & "MAN VS. WILD"... respectively... Who's Tracy???

There was a Whole Series of caches in Philadelphia... The King Tut Series... a lot of them were caches located inside the Franklin Institute... with the approval & help from The Franklin Insititute... They were/are wodden boxes located inside the buildings... One example is: Ben's Legacy II (GCW6RX)... The day, for us, was one to remember, done with TwoCat... including a visit to "Pat's King of Steaks" for the original Philadelphia Cheese Steak!!!

With Google Earth... you can create a KMZ file and then create a Pocket Query... A lot cheaper than buying Garmin's City Navigator... if you don't already have it...

It's easy with Garmin's MapSource... Google earth will also... lower left corner... shows lat/lon of the pointer...

We had a TB that traveled to a cache on a Millitary Base outside Baghdad...

As I racall. one of the things that got virtuals band was virtuals at lame places like fast food chains. So now we have nanos at places like fast food chains. What an improvement. That seems like an approver problem to me...

Personally... I have always liked Virtuals and I was sorry to see them go... we have logged many quality virtuals... great places to see, yet impossible to place a cache... (like in National Parks)... Yeah... there were some pretty lame ones too... But they were easy to weed out... we have some grandfathered virtuals still out there... and all our loggers, to this day, have alys expressed positive experiences... I would also like to see the return of "reverse locationless caches"... we don't do them anymore, as the new Waymarking system is just so lame... compared to what it was before... the quality has deteriorated... Just my opinion...

GIDYYUP!!! BroMan... and the traditional BOOBY Prize...

That's what I have been doing... But now that GSAK has the offline, condensed, versions of the cache pages too... you don't need an internet connection... I just bring along the laptop... and a power inverter... Has hints, and a few recent logs too...

It's possible that a airplane may crash into my house tonight. Very unlikely though. Considering that possibility as a basis for my actions this evening would be pretty silly. Brian, are going to change your name to GARP now?

CCC was famous for logging finds on her own caches when cache owners would delete her "got to the trailhead finds." "#1" has mastered the art of lame "cut and paste" logs. Back in 06 I received about 50 repeats of this jewel, "First day of a 9-day cache-a-thon with dgreno in Southern CA. Thanks for the cache." I heard he uses some sort of software to log all of his caches for him. Who has time to write original logs when there are so many caches to be found. I've read enough of her logs to know that she doesn't hold back when there is something about the cache to write about. I suspect that there was nothing that set any of those caches apart from all the others that she has found. We all do it. I don't have nearly as many finds as she does but even I have a standard phrase that I use on, well, standard caches. I would imagine that with the number of caches she has under her belt that it would take really spectacular cache and/or location to get more than a cut and paste log from her. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't keep trying. Actually, Kit was talking about team Alamo. But the few times CCCA has blown through my area (I think she's only found 2 or 3 of my caches), and I've seen a ton of her logs in Pa. and N.J., I believe she generally goes out of her way to write something specific about the caches. There certainly isn't any software logging the caches for her. [EDIT] Whoops, I see Kit already told you he was talking about TA. But I'll keep the statement about CCCA not being a major cut-and-paste artist. CCCA has found a number of our caches... always a personal log... not something copied & pasted... I have also written them e-mails, gotten a quick, polite, helpful response and they have helped me move along a TB that had a specific date to get to a particular Pa. cache... I have met some cachers that have done close to 2000 caches in their first year of caching... off the top of my head... macatac62 did 1300+ in his first 365 days... The OP asked a simple question... I do not think it was intended to be a bashing thread for everyone to bring down the top #'s people...

I'll second that opinion... BUT as the OP said... will keep your log book dry??? No it won't do that... BUT it will preserve the log, and with a simple wipe from a Kleenex or something... You can dry it and write your own log... Use a ball point pen, or better yet a waterproof ink pen, as opposed to a gel writer, felt tip, etc... they will still bleed when wet...

tell that to the 6th grade geography class. Sorry... I thought I was talking to a mostly adult audience...

Food in caches is a NO NO...

We always like the creative, in plain sight, difficult hides/containers... Terrain can be a 1... but difficulty a 3.5-4...

On the Norton website... there is a remove utiliy that works well... completely removes Norton anti-virus... but you have to run the remove program... nothing like that for MaAfee though... If you think about it... an antivirus program should be hard to remove... Otherwise hackers would have a field day... The thought that Norton invents virus' is absoulty innane... That is an Urban Legand...

Sounds like you have a virus...

Does it really matter???

I cannot validate the finds... but that is their stats... click the link... see for yourself... I have been watching their progression for years... since they had less than 5000... They are the GODS of Geocaching... There are quite a few others with over 10000...

I'm not sure if they have the most... but CCCooperagency has 22496 to date... WAY TOO MUCH FREE~TIME ON THEIR HANDS...
