JASTA 11

We had one on a cache of ours recently. The cache is located under a bridge, and is only accessable with a boat at high tide. Here's the log: The bridge is closed so have to walk it. Lots of muggles around, but still able to use stealth and getterdone! Thanks for the smiley! (This guy had over 2000 finds at the time) So instead of deleting it, I emailed him something like this: Wow! Congrats on finding Xxxxx Xxxx. You have got to post how you did managed to reach reach the cache from the bridge. Everyone else who's found it has had to use a boat. We can't wait to read about how you did it! He never replied to the email, but he did delete the find.

NASTY! I remember searching for that one years ago. You left out the part about the black widow spider infestation inside the brick ****house. We walked away from that one. Just about any throwdown would have been a better caching experience.

Found these two mingled within a long string of DNF's: Throwdowner1 (13000+ Finds) Found it! hope you dont mind.. after a thorough search replaced cache.. hope it stays.. So much for 'hope'. Four months and several more DNF's later.... Throwdowner2 (10000+ Finds) Found it! Found with [other cacher]. We spent a couple of nights camping at Xxxxxxx so of course had to go for this cache. The tenting area was full this weekend so we waited until later in the day on Sunday to search for the cache, after all the tenters left. With all the DNF's, including our search, we replaced the cache after contacting someone who had found the cache before. It looks like this area goes under water in the spring when the meltage swells the bankings so not sure if this cache will last in this location. TFTC! Do you think Throwdowner2 was talking with Throwdowner1 ?

Just came across these situated within a long string of DNF's: Found it hope you dont mind.. after a thorough search replaced cache.. hope it stays.. 13,000+ 'Finds', but so much for their hope. 'Cause just four months later.... Found it FoundDNF with [other cacher]. We spent a couple of nights camping at Hancock so of course had to go for this cache. The tenting area was full this weekend so we waited until later in the day on Sunday to search for the cache, after all the tenters left. With all the DNF's, including our search, we replaced the cache after contacting someone who had found the cache before. It looks like this area goes under water in the spring when the meltage swells the bankings so not sure if this cache will last in this location. TFTC! 10,000+ 'Finds' for this guy. His partner didn't claim the throwdown. (Must have standards) Replacing a cache without contacting the owner first? Then claiming a find? And TFTC? Just thank yourself! I wonder if it was the first throw-downer that this guy called?

Dear Ms Kitty: It's cheesy. Moving the cache? Is that allowed without being reviewed? Predating Waymarking as I do, I seem to remember it being hammered out in their own forums in 2005 that it was generally accepted as being OK to log your own Waymarks as visited. That was when they had a mild amount of interest, and people actually did Waymarking though. Just kidding, I just logged about 8 today, although I back-dated them almost 2 weeks. And a few of them were the same thing in multiple categories. I suspect if you have like 6 visits on your Waymark since 2007, you don't care about that either. The cheesy-ness applies to waymarks too.

Fixed it for ya. EXACTLY! Like this one who logged this in the middle of their 677 (and still counting) day find streak: BigStreaker Found it! 4:31:00 PM Super busy day today and this was on the way home until it's time for the next activity so stopped to grab it. UGH, where is it?? Didn't have time to go find another and had an extra container in the car so replaced it. Went to text CO to let him know and discovered he is not in my PAF list. It's not a fancy container but does have an official log in a baggie inside it so hopefully it'll last longer. TFTC #2038 This made me wonder how the 'consecutive days with without a throwdown' streak was going for them.

That's correct, but the pitot tube measures airspeed. It's the static ports that measure pressure altitude. If your GPS is sensing the barometric pressure inside the cabin, then it reads 'cabin altitude' which will be somewhere under 10,000 feet.

In your carry-on to keep it from getting swiped by the animals down below. Bury it deep if your carry-on if it's going in the overhead. My mother-in-law had some stuff swiped out of her bag in the overhead recently. Check the airlines rules on using the GPS in flight. Some allow it, some don't. You should be able to find the rules in the airlines' inflight magazine.

We could, but we don't. To us it is the same as 'finding' your own cache, but there's a thread for that elsewhere. Without players placing caches there wouldn't be much of a game.

Good luck. We tried to get the CITO souvenir awarded to us back in April for organizing a CITO Event. Was told: Nope, can't have it. Cache placers aren't held in the same regard as cache finders.

More info needed.

Time to Archive?

You weren't kidding about logging finds on your caches. No one disputes being able to play the game the way one wants to. But could you explain your reasoning? Why do you do it? Inquiring minds want to know...

Obviously bogus. With the CO apparently no longer in the game anymore, you could contact the local reviewer. Maybe they will agree and get it deleted. Meanwhile, I'd keep on planning for that FTF if I were you. Good luck!

Why read so much into this? All that I'm proposing is an attribute that differentiates a paddle craft versus a motor boat, not one for each possible type. Insinuating that is stupid. The icons were posted as potential examples.

The current 'boat required' attribute alone isn't adequate enough for most caches requiring water travel. The attribute shows a motor boat. However, motor boats aren't always practical in many spots caches are hidden. An attribute showing a canoe, a kayaker, or even a paddle would be more appropriate for caches in less accessable areas.

There used to be someone who posted around here with the tag line: "Logging a find on your own cache is like wearing a toupee. You think it makes you look better, but everyone is really laughing at you." I've accepted that I'm losing my hair.

I like the new picture, very scenic: But this would seem more appropriate to caching these days...

That wouldn't be a throwdown. The cacher actually found the cache and did some maintenance for the CO. It's not like he didn't find it.

Cool. So she shouldn't complain when you delete them.

Another glaring example of the lack of integrity that is becoming widely accepted in this game. Thank goodness for a bottomless ingnore pit list.

Wonder how many consecutive days without a throwdown?

Agreed. Unfortunately there are folks like that in every type of game, sport, or other activity. Don't let them ruin it for you.

Getting back on track..... Found it 10/23/2010 14:41 DNF: Out on a bike ride with Xxxxx on the Keystone Trail. We hiked back to this cache on our way to Xxxx Xxxx virtual. We got to GZ but couldn't find it, after a thorough search I read the previous logs & decided it's missing. I read your log and decided something else!

I don't know sign language, but heres a suggestion:
