Well, we haven't visited any caches in Newfoundland yet, but if you have some time to visit one of the best parks in Eastern Canada, check out Gros Morne National Park. We highly recommend the trip...Gros Morne has many day trails and treks, including a challenging and excellent backpacking adventure: The Long Range traverse. Lots of things to do for the day or a few...
So if you're on the Western side of Newfie, check it out, it'd be worthwhile for sure!

There is a cache in Nova Scotia that is most easily accessed by a nude beach. It contained oysters and wine. Our visit was quite disturbing...
-
Hmm, well, amongst us there is a Criminology graduate student (and hopefully soon to be police officer), two Internet application developers, a journalist, an aspiring network tech and finally, a student at Saint Mary's University.
But frankly, we'd all love to be hauling lumber.

A group of what, concerned citizens? As others have said, it's hard to know what you are talking about. Your explanation didn't help either. Could you elaborate further?
-
Recommendations for geocaches include: Take Nothing for Granite, located next to Peggy's Cove, a well known scenic fishing town; Ghost of the Past located at York Redoubt which is a 200-year-old fortification; or Air, Land and Sea, a pleasant multi-cache that will have you visiting Halifax and crossing the harbour into Dartmouth.
Non-geocaching sites of interest include Citadel Hill, Pier 21 or the Halifax Explosion Memorial Bell Tower.
After dark, you could check out one of the many pubs and restaurants.

Sorry to hear about your loss. It's a nice area, hope you were able to find the cache without the clue.
How does is one theft the same as a rash of thefts? I've lived here for many, many years and have never had anything stolen from me. You did lock the doors right?

For all our caches, we try and always include our feet and the cache in a "Found it!" picture. Some are innovative, some are ordinary!

If you save the log in your gps, then download it, it will be 'cleaned' by the gps, often removing the timestamps and altitude readings.
Leaving the track in the active log is the best way to go.
At least, I've observed this using an E-Trex and and E-Trex Venture.
-
Another way to cut down on the number of irrelevant(?) emails could be a digest mode.
All logs could be sent out once a day, with all the logs in one single email message.
This would require an enhancement to the website, but I know I'd appreciate the cool enhancement.

I don't think these would be as annoying if there was on option on the advanced search page to choose the types of caches to display.
I usually don't pay much attention to these anywhere caches, but someday I imagine someone will post an anywhere cache requesting the cacher find a stop sign, or a mailbox or something equally stupid.
Seems like a waste of geocaching.com resources to me.

Everyone knows about tradition caches, multi-caches, virtual-caches and even event-caches. I'm wondering why it has to stop there.
Why not create a new cache type, a living-cache. Imagine if you bought a cool toy (http://www.digitalangel.net/), wore it all the time, and reported yourself as a cache on www.geocaching.com.
How cool would it be to have a perfect stranger approach you, say hello and claim a find? You could even offer them a ham sandwich (one of the many you would keep in your pockets at all times) as a reward. It'd be a great way to share the joy of geocaching everywhere you went!
Any volunteers?

I bought QVN for the maps myself and found their navigation program to be lacking. I searched around and found OziExplorer (www.oziexplorer.com)
There is a free demo (with gps support I think) and it will import and calibrate all the QVN maps automatically. It works great and even has moving map software!

I fully agree with the above comment. If it were me, I'd feel angry about someone bad mouthing my efforts on a public bulletin board before doing me the simple courtesy of contacting me privately.

A don't think there is a real need for provincial forums just yet. I imagine some forums would remain mostly empty while the Central Canada forums would be fairly busy.
Maybe three forums would be nice though: Western, Central and Atlantic Canada.
Anyone interested in a "Coffee Positioning System"?

While I would be interested in participating, I wouldn't even know where to begin.
Within a 15 minute walk from my house, I can count at least 5 locations. There might be hundreds around here! They might even out-number gas stations (considering several gas stations have Time Hortions in them), I wouldn't be surprised.
I once considered driving around and buying a single Timbit from each of them, but I've never been that hungry!
