  1. Im not exactly a newbie been at it for a few months now. In comparison to some I'm new. I semi depend on smartphone apps, though I really like just going it alone sometimes and do some great hiking. 1 difference between me and some smartphone users is I dont have a car so its a lifesaver for me otherwise could go all day without finding a single cache, walking about 20 miles at that. I walk to most caches, though catch a local bus to within walking distance. Or to an entrance of a park. Other day did a big park near my house without a smartphone walked 10miles finding only 1 cache. But was well worth it. I'm also a free member on an extremely limited budget.
  2. Find the GC code and go to http://www.geocachingadmin.com Put the code in the top box and press the Log button. If you can it via the map then grand - sometimes this isn't possible. Don't forget to change the date! Ah thank you figured it out. Kept trying to press find and not log. Glad I figured it out.
  3. Ok I get to the page but it wont let me log. Am I missing something. All I get is a speal about it being a premium cache.
  4. Had a similar exp. Though don't think it was a geocacher. The guy played music in parking lot while searching. Completely weirded me out

  10. I found a premium cache by accident didn't know it was premium. It had cache name on log. I signed the log.
  11. This thread has had some great stories here's another from me happened today. Tackled part of a power trail today on foot. Decided to end day off at a tb geocoin hotel. While there ran into a pregnant puppy Chased it around for about an hour trying to find the owner. 1 person I asked got cops involved. So worked with cops for about an hour trying to get her. Tried for about an hour before we lost her. After walking 5 miles I amazed myself by running about half a mile though now my big toe is in a lot of pain
  12. Nothing to crazy lately 2 dirty diapers at one cache. Than an eye opener A cache listed as a larger walked a mile there and back It was a large container but next to no swag. But an amazing View which made the 2 mile round trip well worth it
  13. So what do the numbers mean? I thought I'd see just how far from home I'd have to go to log 2000 caches. Doing a search for the closest 2000 caches to my home I have a circle 125 miles radius or over 49,000 square miles. I have logged all the caches within 40 mile radius of my home except for the most recent 11 that just was put out last weekend. Doing some playing around with the numbers (hey, it's raining, what else to do) for some locations I find if I lived in NYC that from Battery Park, a person has 2000 caches within 43 miles. San Francisco - 2000 caches within 23 miles. LA - 2000 within 23 miles. Tampa - 44 miles. North Chicago - 39 miles. With each of those the mileage only extends out 180 deg from center point due to the oceans/gulf/lake on one side. Seattle - 29 miles. For Dallas, TX there are 2000 caches within 19 miles radius. However, if a person lived in Circle, MT they'd have to draw a circle 337 miles in radius to get 2000 caches or an area of about 357,000 square miles. Just how big is 357,000 sq mi? That's bigger than the land mass of MT, ND, SD, and WI combined. So a person from Dallas, LA, SF, Seattle, or Chicago with 2000 finds? Yawn. A person from Circle, MT with 2000 finds, now that person has been hitting it hard. After reading this makes me wish I had taking up grocaching sooner Lived in Dallas area several years. Irving to be exact. Pretty in between fort worth and Dallas I'm not a numbers person.1 main issue to consider is that most of Dallas is Bad neighborhoods
  14. Wow and I thought I was crazy walking to most of my caches 25 so far About 30 miles total at least
  15. At time didn't know about replacement logs and bag inside had water in it
  16. What if you find cache and log is soaked. My first find was this way. I reported it as a find than rereported that it needed maintenance
  17. OK after reading post will change it keep same title but Make it factual. Believe in America and list different Events in Ohio and us history saying why. The title alone Is commemorative enough Just seems like people these day give up
  18. This is not the place to discuss it. The place to discuss it is via private email with your reviewer. I haven't posted a cache so no reviewer. Also new to caching.
  19. I thought about doing a series on a slightly controversial Topic nothing illegal or to my knowledge against rules. Here's info suggestions opinions are appreciated. Please no rudeness I do have a decently genuine reason What a political named cache but not themed. For all ages Reasoning to commemorate in 2012 knocking on 3000 doors I would be putting caches along my walking rout not in yards Also in 2 places marking significant events that year. This area has very few geocaches. Once again non theme with good Items
  20. Thought it would be fun to have this thread. I have only found 6 caches but have Already had some outright fun and crazy times. I can only imagine what the more experienced cachets Have been through. Here are mine 4th cache I had someone sitting in an old truck listening to Music made me feel weird felt like was being watched. 5th cache so I thought I knew where it was I was wrong but it was Close so I took what I thought was a shortcut. Big mistake Scooted on my butt downhill. And walked through a marsh with all kind Of fallen trees. On a dnf cache, the terrain was listed below a 2 it should of Been a 4. It was on a set of abandoned railroad tracks. I started walking along tracks About halfway to coordinates the brush was next to impossible To b break through What an adventure. Walked about 8 miles in one day will get skinny one Way or another.
  21. and for some peoples info I'm 24 but on extremely limited income.this is my new form of entertainment when bored since for most part free
  22. OK so wound up downloading a GPS app to smart phone. It has already taken me on quite the adventure. it tends to take you the hard way. have gone through practically a marsh in the woods. scooted on my butt downhill. though that one was a bit by choice. battle thick and next to impossible brushes. though succeeded 2 out of 4 tries today so I am happy
  23. this was the container and thanks to all don't have tweezers so will have to avoid for a while
