And, furthermore, you echo that attitude yourself in that your closing statement makes me wonder if you'd consider it possible to properly maintain any deep woods cache that, by design, requires a great deal of effort to get to.
I know for certain that it is possible (and not uncommon) to properly maintain caches that require a "great deal of" (and every cache hider has their own criteria for this) effort to get to.
My only point was that justintim1999 clearly did not say that his what-makes-a-good-location decision to place caches was based on some hidden "don't hide hiking caches" agenda in the guidelines. I was simply objecting to what I saw as an unfortunate mischaracterization of justintim1999's position in fizzymagic's post.

I check up on all my caches twice a year regardless of find count. If I couldn't access it quickly I wouldn't own it.
So, in other words, you are living proof that the guidelines encourage the hiding of lame urban easy-to-reach caches, and discourage hiding caches in difficult-to-reach locations.
I appreciate your honesty. You'll probably end up getting used as an example in the future; don't think it's personal. It's just that nobody else will admit it.
You've attempted to "other word" his post into support for your "guidelines encourage the hiding of lame urban easy-to-reach caches" agenda, but justintim1999 didn't mention the guidelines as being the reason that he chooses to place caches in locations that meet his personal criteria for properly maintaining a cache. If his quote gets used as an example of something in the future, I hope it is only as an example of a proper attitude towards hiding and maintaining a cache - only place caches that you are sure you can properly maintain.

Wayne Police Warn of Booby Traps in High Mountain Park
"WAYNE, New Jersey (WABC) -- Police in New Jersey have issued a warning after a series of booby traps were placed along a popular walking trail, and they're hoping to identify the suspect before anyone gets hurt.
Authorities in Wayne say a number of objects, ranging from broken glass to barbed wire, were placed along High Mountain Park dating back to June.
A resident who frequents the park reported to the police that since June 23, he has found buried wooden boards with nails and screws protruding, broken bottles placed along the trails behind or next to rocks or logs, and rope and barbed wire strung across pathways."
Lots of geocaches in that park - watch where you step!

Today someone visited my cache;"In Between" near Leduc,and reported the ammo can as missing.I intend
to keep that cache there,have another container,and will replace the ammo can as soon as i can.
It's ridiculous that someone should take the container,but,these are the days...
The ammo can may, or may not, actually be missing. The person who reported it as missing appears to be relatively new to geocaching, so they may have just been unable to locate it.
Not sure why they logged the cache as found while also reporting that it was missing, unless only the contents of the cache (or at least the log book) were still at ground zero.

Letar efter någon att leta geocahcer med!
Serching for someone to find and look for geocaching with! In Skövde Sweden!
You'd probably get more appropriate and helpful responses if this discussion was moved to the appropriate regional forum.
-
I herd you can get souvenirs if you find a cache that has not been found in a year or more is that true
No souvenirs for finding such a cache, but there are a number of Lonely Cache Challenge caches that you can qualify for if you find a cache that hasn't been found in at least a year.
-
I've been enjoying your blog - please keep posting when you can!
-
Well, that escalated quickly.
-
Today I adopted 13 historic geocaches placed in Alberta, Canada in either 2002 or 2003 by Shadow Dog - with the original CO's permission.
Nicely done!
Screen shot? not interested, too much work to look them up. Now a link to a publicly shared bookmark would have been cool.

What are your thoughts on this
My thought is that this is a duplicate of a topic you started last month.
-
is there a way of editing text attached to an uploaded image barring archiving/deleting the whole image and starting again?
If you are talking about editing the text associated with a Waymark image, the answer is no - you have to delete (archive) the image and upload it again.

http://www.Waymarking.com/groups/details.aspx?f=1&guid=272d53c5-53f3-420b-926a-262e16221ceb
We created that group for a possibilty to contact all active Waymarkers with one message.
Thank you, lumbricus.

I saw a reference to the "Waymarking Core members Group" in a different topic, and am curious as to what this group is.
I can't find such a group listed in the Waymarking Groups - is it something that exists on another web site?
-
As of yesterday when I had my last test of many, I am in a state of "no cancer detected".
That's great news, Bruce! Thanks for sharing it.
And thank you for all of your support for Waymarking over the last 10 years.

I don't always remember this during the winter, but there are a few nice things about the snow and cold.

A long time ago we used to be able to see our individual warning meters in the forums. The meters were eventually hidden from the general forum population because they caused some confusion, but the moderators can still see them (and presumably still use them when making decisions regarding additional warnings, timeouts, and permanent bans).
If you do a forum search for "warning meter" you'll find some interesting discussions - lots of contributions from forum participants happily sharing stories of their warning and timeout experiences.

Is Waymarking dying ?
I think so.

-
Where can I get a list or do a search for previous GeoWoodstock events?
-
Are you saying the OP left some copy and paste logs today?
No. I'm not aware that the OP left any copy and past logs today.
But I'm quite certain that the OP has left some copy and past logs recently. And because I can't see the OP's DNFs (especially when they've been deleted), I can't help but wonder what is really going on here.
-
Anyone else have encounters with crazy CO's?
Not that I remember.
But as a CO who may or may not be crazy, if a cache I owned had been one of a number of caches that received the same negative, strange cut-and-paste log from a somebody who found a bunch of nearby caches on a given day, I'm pretty sure I'd at least be wondering whether the log actually was meant for my cache, or if it was a log intended for somebody else's cache, or if the cacher was just having a bad day.

I had a nano cache with the magnet missing. I took a small piece of loose bark from a tree and glued to the nano. I hide the cache, nano side down in the fork, of the tree. It blended in perfectly.
Devious!
Did you provide a hint?
-
Maybe the reason Waymarking still gets brought up in discussions of Locationless caches is that some people are looking at Section 6.10 of the Help Center, which says that "All the Locationless geocaches were archived and locked in January 2006. The new home for these types of geocaches is Waymarking.com."

Great story! Do you plan on logging a find on the cache?
I would.
