Write a note on your new cache and drop it in!

/Seek and you shall find...

If it weren't for our funny mistakes life would be pretty boring....

Epoxy will do the job.

Nope.

well! if your event involves much of this then i might make the drive from michigan. i'm hoping you really mean "compilation". Freudian slip...

There are activities that can make them more fun. Some of our events have had poker runs. You visit caches and collect one card from each in a sealed number envelope (1-5. Each cache has a different number). Then you go back and turn your cards in sealed envelopes back in and see how you did. Normally everyone throws in 5 bucks for the winning prize.

Yep. I have a Legend and it happens sometimes.

If you know for a fact that the owner is OK with it then it should be OK. Most of the people giving the hint would know if this were true or not too.

I always have one run a day ahead of time in case this happens. It is happening again but I'm OK.

I'll join that club!

That is a bummer. Well at least they can get jobs in road construction. That seems to be the area that the government wants to grow now.

One of my favorite caches is a birdhouse. It was a multi that led you to a stick with a hook. After scrathcing my head I noticed coords to the final were in tiny numbers on the stick. When you got to the tree there was a birdhouse on a pulley system. It was counter-weighted so that when you pulled it down it would go right back up when you were done signing the log. It was all legal because nothing was permanently anchored to the tree. It was very cool!

Dat is was I was a thinking too...

Start by writing down what you know. For example, since the final for mystery caches have to be within 2 miles of the posted coords you already know the degrees and the first digit of the minutes. A lot of puzzles make you solve for numbers that you already know. So you can often look for patterns and then reverse solve these to come up with a way to get the numbers you already know. Then you can apply that to get the rest of the numbers. Many puzzles make you do research on Google to find the answers. I don't really like these because they seem like busy work to me.

Huh? You seem to be claiming that logging multiple finds on events that one has attended is somehow bad or undesirable, at least in your book. Amazing! Who would have known? Using an automated PERL script, I regularly log anywhere from 10,000 to 400,000 attended/find logs on each event that I have attended, based simply upon the entirely legitimate, solid, established and defensible premise that I deserve an attended/find log for every microsecond that I was present at the event. And then, when you factor in my multiple personalities (each of whom also has their own accounts at Groundspeak and here on the forum), and realize that each of these personalities deserves to log an attended/find log as well, it all adds up to a large number of entirely legitimate attended/find logs! I love this sport! . I think they should give every cacher a find count of a googolplex!

This is why I always ask what the must-do caches are before I go somewhere.

PLEASE DO THIS Groundspeak!!!

Wouldn't that be every cache, until you look for it? Why.... you would have to DNF more than 745,790 caches!

You inspire, motivate, and make caching fun! Thanks for reaching out and allowing me under your wing. I didn't get this far without you ~Sweet Sue~

Yahoo!....4000! and those 4 cats sure are cute! Congrats you 2!

It's not funny but I can't help myself. I'm glad we don't have that issue out here...

If the wrong person sees this, they may very well jump to the conclusion the CO did this when placing the cache, this could lead to trouble. Perception is everything, and trying to undo the perceptions of wrong-doings would be very difficult if not impossibel! In other words, even if the CO didn't damage a single rock, it could still lead to trouble, best action would be to CLEAR THE IDEA before implementing it! This goes for painting or carving or whatever!! Very good point! This is what happened in ABDSP with at least one of the alleged incidents. The cache will always draw the blame. So placing a cache near an existing problem is a very poor idea.

Because you might not find out it's a turd till you locate it? This is the case for me. I did a bunch of urbans this past weekend. We found some pretty good ones but it's impossible to tell which ones would be the lemons for me before actually finding them. Plus my buddy likes lemons because they are good for his numbers. That's fine with me but I'm not logging them.

Now that would be KEWL! As a huge fan of Adams, for more years than I care to admit, I've long fantasized about that very thing - being able to stand where he stood and see what I could do with it (was heavily into photograpy at the fantasy onset), plus, experience first-hand (first-eye?) how the subject had changed over time. I feared in most cases the latter might be an unpleasant finding, but still...... *sigh* Dreams. That is a category I manage, and it is really cool to be where he was. My homage to the great one... And his original photo... There is this geocache at this famous Ansel Adams location: There is a virtual cache at the location where I took that picture, since it is a National Park. Kill virtual caches, and that view is gone for geocachers. That would be a shame because it is the main reason I geocache.
