    Pocket Query Not Running

    in Website

    Posted

    I'd have to second any responses saying this is getting old. Although, it is hard for anyone to really know there is an issue if it is only affecting a small number of people. I know the PQ's are not working for me, but the Groundspeak guys see that is working for others and then it gets hard to explain.

     

    I'd just like to get my PQ. And at this point, if it cost $10 or $20 more for the membership to pay for additional hardware to keep up or sys admin's to write better software I'd be up for that.

    What's The Best Flashlight

    in General geocaching topics

    I am very impressed with this flashlight.

     

    https://www.fenix-store.com/product_info.ph...products_id=195

     

    I was so impressed, I bought one for one of our friends who regularly caches with us. I read some reviews http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/f...l1dce-l2dce.htm ..

     

    In my searching, my first requirement was AA batteries. While the CR123 ( I think those are the ones) are really good and Surefire is a great product, you may find this is a middle road cost wise. Comparing this flashlight to others I have, AA Maglite (non LED), Led Lenser single AA LED, and Rayovac LED there is just no comparison.

     

    Thanks

    No much/any information to be gathered from a broken point from a plowed field the cows graze in.

     

    Other then to say "Yea, someone was here and shot at a Duck on a pond. Missed it looks like."

     

    Sell them? Why? The shipping and wrapping would cost more then the value of the items.

    Actually you'd be surprised what can be learnt from things found laying about in a field.

    So, I wanna create an accessible cache...

    You asked for replies from people not in a wheelchair, so I will add my thoughts. I have RA (rheumatoid arthritis). Without going into too much detail, it means some days I have better mobility than others. I usually have no trouble walking far as long as the terrain is relatively flat, I find a slope can be very hard on my ankles. As far as the cache's hiding spot; I usually cannot kneel, if the cache is on the ground and is not obvious, then I have to actually sit down to search. My hands/wrists are also in bad shape so if I have to manipulate the cache out of its hiding place, I am in trouble. Obviously something that requires climbing is out, I am short so this means the cache is best when hidden about 2-5ft off the ground. As for containers, nanos are bad as I can't get the log re-rolled. Ammo cans can be very hard for me to open as can lock and lock and Tupperware sometimes. I know this doesn't leave much, just mentioning it. My suggestion would be that if the cacher can't open the container but can prove they found the cache, they can still claim a find. Usually I cache with my husband or a friend and I have them open the cache because I can't. It doesn't seem fair to me that just because I am incapable of opening the container, I didn't find the cache, esp as I was holding it in my hands. OK, rant over :laughing: . Just remember an accessible cache doesn't have to be lame or a park and grab. A well cammoed container that takes a good amount of time to find is just as much fun as something that has a higher terrain rating. Physically challenged doesn't mean mentally challenged. (Not directing this comment to you personally, mousekakat, this is just the way some of the comments strike me when this topic is raised). Anyway, good luck with your cache. plasmawife

    The All New All New Groundspeak UK Pub Quiz

    It is the first sunday, after the first Paschal full moon after the 21st March.

     

    The church has a list of dates for which full moons are given, even though they don't correspond entirely with what you see in the sky so that everyone throughout the world has a "full moon" at the same time. The church has used 21st March as the Spring Equinox since 325a.d. a date chosen by the Council of Nicaea.

    Working, travelling and caching in London I find it a constant concern to find somewhere appropriate for Caesar to do his business.

     

    A couple of years ago I was doing a cache in an open space in London and came across a purpose built dog loo ... can you name that place?

     

    Anyone who has cached in the area with their eyes open with know where it is!

    Peter Pan: Liverpool

    in United Kingdom and Ireland

    Posted

    Thanks to kewfriend and his army of Tinkerbells around the world for setting up this excellent series of interlocking caches. For those who haven't checked them out yet, they are a series of seven caches that are hidden in the vicinities of the seven castings of a statue of Peter Pan designed by Sir George Frampton back in the 1920s. Each of the caches is a multi -- the first stage contains partial coords for the final stages of two of the other seven caches. So in order to find the cache, you have to join a team consisting of people who are local to the other statues and then swap the coordinates among yourselves. It's a great concept, and a great way to "meet" cachers from around the world.

     

    One of the statues is in Sefton Park in Liverpool, so there is a great clamour from cachers around the world for local Liverpool cachers to join their teams. Unfortunately, demand seems to be outstripping supply for the time being, so I would strongly encourage any local cachers to check out the cache (GC18GZC) and to join one of the teams. (And better yet -- join my team! Contact me via my gc.com profile for more info.) Thanks to all who are taking part, and to those who will be.

    I am on Dave's team (London), so please anyone who can help with Liverpool please contact us! <_< I was looking at the Liverpool page myself and noticed there was a great demand for local cachers, almost tempted to go to Liverpool and try it myself :rolleyes:

    Do People Recognize The Sticker On Your Vehicle?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    I'm sorry, I didn't realize that. I thought it was a sticker.

     

    In Ohio, it is a violation to fail to display a front plate. I can't speak for laws in his state.

    Actually I was pulled over in Ohio for not having a front license plate and was told that they couldn't give me a ticket for it. They just wanted to waste my time I guess. I had been in an accident the year before and the repair place stole the screw that held on the plate. I just never got around to replacing it. This was a few years ago now though, could be illegal now.
