I have 2 caches within 5 miles and I've had to sit and patiently wait while park maintenance finishes trail repairs from last year. They have posted no-trespassing signs until the work is complete.

I helped with the placement of CCCooper Agency's NC Happy Cache. A lot of time and emails went into assuring it was a well done cache. They also attended a recent event cache here in NC after leaving PA in the wee hours of the morning, caching across NC until the event began, finding two caches hidden there, and then caching their way back to Richmond by nightfall. They are a great family and my hat is off to their level of dedication and energy for caching. Great ambassadors for this sport.

All this great event planning. I hope CatusJeep doesn't eventually find it under the passenger seat. That's where I lost mine once.

Hello Acme Laundry...
I'm afraid you've gotten my clothes mixed up again.

The hint does say its in a crack.

I vote 4. Keep looking. I think the hider did a respectable job of camouflaging a non-standard cache container. I'd also make sure to decrypt the hints before logging this a DNF. Also might want to check the find logs of other rogue nations.

Seems like a harmless bill but i wish instead of wasting time on passing new bills they would get rid of the thousands of useless ones.

Of course on the dark side of the issue..
We're a nation that slows to gawk at car accidents, train wrecks, and we watch Jerry Springer...
Makes you wonder if something like this were implemented how many would tune in to see a disaster.

CSI
A gruesome discovery in a cache just outside Las Vegas brings Grissom and his Etrex Vista onto the scene. Using fluorescein and UV light the CSI team is able to track a bloodtrail 15 miles through the desert to another cache. With the realization they have a multi-cache villian on their hands, the call goes out to collect DNA samples from every cache in the greater Las Vegas area. The entire CSI team sets up accounts and begins searching for ammo-boxes. Of course it becomes about the count with Warrick, Nick, Sara, and Greg each trying to get the most finds. In a final 24 hour caching flurry Nick records 130 finds and 15 DNF's. Unfortunately, McToys prove poor at retaining DNA so the team must resort to trickery and place their own cache in hopes of catching the villan. In a dramatic conclusion, the villian is caught leaving his unique signature item. He confesses finding a pocketknife in a previous cache caused him to snap.

Well at least they can't claim there is a path leading to this cache.

The question is which was archived, the cache or the country.

Along with the official handsign and official honk, geocaching now has offical headgear.

In a struggling economy, even a job as a tree model buys a few groceries.

I'm trying to figure out where on that statue you hide a cache.

I learned this atomic headlock from watching WWF wrestling.

How was the satellite reception?

Wouldn't you hate working that jetlot and the customer insisted on buying the one parked in the middle.

I generally go alone on diffcult terrain or really time consuming caches. My wife and son really enjoy going on the easier hikes and doing puzzle caches.
-
When sticking my hand into a hole in search of a cache, i always ponder which I could afford to have bitten off. I guess that makes me left handed.

I like the thought of having an event in each city. Perhaps once a month or every 6 weeks a different town or region could host. Teams from each of the other regions earn points leading to a year-end winner. The host town team would not participate in their own town's hunt. This would eliminate any problems that might develop if the hides are much tougher in one area than another. Scoring could be as simple as points awarded for order of finish. I think it would also be wise if each region had enough cachers wanting to participate so that the event wouldn't be affected if some people weren't available to attend each hunt.

I'll hold my breath till you give my McToy back.

also see this funny thread. HIllarious
Those posts are classics.. I was laughing so hard my wife asked what was so funny. I wound up reading them to her.

Most state supported universities are open for anyone to walk around. I've always found the bigger problem is finding somewhere to park. Maybe in addition to the virtual caches, you could add a moving cache for the only available parking space within 2 miles.

Count me in as another of the Raleigh contingent. Sounds like this could be real interesting.
We made the Paper again.

That really is a wonderful write-up. Seems it touched on every positive aspect of geocaching.
