I sometimes send my reviewer gps cords of a GZ I have in mind before setting up my cache to be sure Im far enough away from any other caches ( pesky puzzles), and it saves the frustration that you are facing at the moment I suggest you keep this in mind for future hides you maybe planning

No, I dont think so, but I get the feeling you think they should?

What Level of background of earth science do you think should be acceptable? a degree? Masters? Or just someone who watches the National Geo channel once in awhile? I think you need to remember geocaching is just a game. Also, if geoaware publishes them, then one would presume they cut the mustard?

Im sorry, but i just have to ask, are you taking the piss?

Took me 13 months, or 14....

Looks like a Kame to me too

322 miles? http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...45-1fff33e588fd

I see he is banned now - good job, but watch for his next account!! Was he boasting about his "trashing" on his profile page? What a drop kick

Ill hold off on buying one till they fix it Maybe they will fix it in a firmware upgrade? Keep an eye on the garmin homepage

I Just use Easy GPS and select another symbol then send to gps. Things maybe different with Colorado?

No, actually I don't. Presumed it would be the same...... but it appears not to be.

Why dont you do a seperate PQ for Earthcaches and then load them selecting a different icon? Simple really.

I wouldnt go and find a cache that I adopt out - to me thats "cheating". Also, 3 caches in New Zealand were done by a Canadian, remotely, using the web and google earth..... Top notch EC's to. Can you post GC codes or links to these NZ EC's? What would be the point? - also, Im only going on hearsay. no pressure. I'm curious as to the quality of alleged EC's. Maybe you could do abit of detective work...... and report back to us?

I don't know about arm chair listing (or logging) Hence the photo requirement on my earthcaches

This got me thinking. 1) I have a whole series here in South africa, and will be more than willing to share with anyone wanting an African cache. 2) If you let someone adopt one of your caches - can you find it? Sweet - Im keen.... I personally wouldnt, but you could.

I asked almost the same question about 2 months ago by email. This is the answer I got: I think that was a straight and clear answer. GeoBSWEScout Sweet, I was made to feel I had cheated in my country on recieving my Gold Pin. Music to my ears here

Looks like its 200 meters or feet or yards or whatever is used in the States away...... so it should be ok. I would happily visit - get 2 smilies for the price of one

GC1CEHK is archived, not disabled, so thats all fine.

Well, im rather keen to adopt a USA Earthcahe or 2 off another cacher and/or adopt one of my New Zealand ones out. Let me know if anyone is keen on either.

I need to make more,,,,,, but it can wait til I get to Plat

Out of interest, and so I can set my target who has the most "Found" Earthcaches, and who has the most "placed"? I saw someone in here with 90 something placed, and was rather impressed!
