GOF and Bacall Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Sorry. This just made me cringe. Just because a cache requires that seekers utilize brain power to obtain the final coords is no reason to punish them by bringing them to a blistering, 500 acre, exhaust laden parking lot, bristling with soccer mom driven SUVs. A crappy location does not become less crappy simply because it is used in a puzzle. It still sucks. Heck, one could argue that it sucks even more than a traditional LPC, as with those, most folks can figure out that the location is crap. With a puzzle cache, folks won't know that until they solve it. Talk about a let down. Why not utilize a nice, scenic location as the final for a good puzzle? ...because there is only one mt. everest. Waymarking might be more your speed since the only caches you seem to accept are ones with scenic locations (and no film cans). i can only think of two really scenic areas in all of central texas, both have caches. i suppose we are tapped out. crap. Wow! Texas really sucks, huh? Quote Link to comment
Clan Riffster Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Waymarking might be more your speed since the only caches you seem to accept are ones with scenic locations. Waymarking? Scenic locations? I didn't expect to ever see those to terms used in the same sentence. Are we talking about the same hobby? Folks create groups, based on specific criteria, such as Burger Kings or Dumpsters? Other folks find spots that meet these criteria, mark the coords and post them as Waymarks to the group? Is that the hobby you suggest I embrace? Perhaps I've been unclear in stating my personal caching preferences, so allow me to elaborate: I prefer quality containers, (regardless of size), in interesting, (to me), locations, with well versed write ups. How that could possibly be interpreted as matching someone who likes dashing from highway plaque to highway plaque is beyond me. As for the "only one Everest" silliness, do you really see this activity as nothing but the two extremes? Since you are unable to locate a place as visually stunning as the world's tallest mountain, you stop trying? Just plop your film cans in parking lots? Quote Link to comment

Is that the hobby you suggest I embrace? It gets tiring when people trot out a few categories of waymarks (business department) and paint the whole activity as that. There's a whole department for nature if that's what you are interested in. And for those who want to vist historical locations there is one for that as well (and it is not just historical markers). Just look at the top level Waymarking departments to get a feel for the broad range of waymarks. Then drill down to find specific categories you are interested in. Unlike geocaches where you might get some limited results filtering on attributes or terrain, with Waymarking you can ignore places you find lame and concentrate on those you find interesting. (So far there is no swamp category; perhaps you could start one). Quote Link to comment

+rickjill Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Anecdote:We have a swamp cache in our area that is an ammo can. Great hide with about 600 feet of mud and water to slog through not to mention the bugs. The word went out one day "The swamp is frozen solid!" About twenty cachers including me walked on ice to the cache. Actions speak louder than words. Everybody is different. Preferences vary and I do not disagree with your preferences.

Clan Riffster Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 ...at least get your facts straight. Which "facts" are bent? I just reread what I posted. I'm not seeing anything in there that claims all Waymarks are at Burger Kings or at dumpsters. Had I listed every single lame, (to me), Waymark category, my post would have been so lengthy it would likely have melted the Groundspeak servers. So, I tossed out a couple of examples regarding what I would consider to be lame Waymarks. I actually have no idea if Burger Kings and/or dumpsters have their own category or not. The technical details are irrelevant to my point, which was, (in case you missed it), I prefer quality containers, in interesting (to me), locations, with well versed write ups. I've made these preferences crystal clear over the years. Yet, some one, some how, decided, based on these preferences, that I would prefer Waymarking to Geocaching? Seriously? How's that work? Are they really dangerous, or do they actually tend to leave people alone? I would have to answer "Yes" to both questions. Any alligator above 5' can be dangerous. Most alligators above 12' are dangerous. How much danger depends largely on your knowledge, behavior and attitude at the time. Park a 12' kayak on top of a 14' alligator laying in shallow water and, if you survive, you'll have a really kewl story to tell your grandkids. Been there/done that. It was unpleasant, to say the least. Miss time your grab when trying to capture a 5' alligator wedged under some lady's SUV, in her garage and, again, you'll have a kewl story, (and some neat looking scars), to share with your grandkids. Take your lunch break on an active nest site, (realizing way too late that those funny looking white things all around you are NOT broken ping pong balls), and, again, kewl story time, if you live. Treat them with respect, know what they are capable of, and what they react to, and you'll probably never have a negative encounter with one. Not counting nesting females or amorous males during mating season, alligators are not particularly aggressive animals. But even Winnie the Pooh would whomp you upside the head if you poked him enough. Quote Link to comment

Notice how I didn't say "since Geocaching was invented". Which also brings up a point I'd like to make to the OP. Yeah, yeah, pretty funny and all. But just imagine you started Geocaching when 100% of caches in your area were in the woods, and then the "parking lot game" came after you. But back to the keyholders. I mean really. Who 15 years ago was running out to buy a keyholder to hide their keys? Maybe a person here or there once in every blue moon. In regards to the bolded part: When was that? I started caching in April 2001 in the Great NorthWet (where trees grow everywhere so "woods" are very common) and even then there were many cache that weren't in the woods.

How's that work? I don't know what BulldogBlitz was getting at when he said you would prefer Waymarking. I guess I found it more surprising when in the same post he said there are only two scenic spots in central Texas. I think central Texas is one of the nicest part of the state and it certainly has many more than just two scenic spots. I've often thought it would be a cool idea if you could select your favorite Waymarking categories and then get a PQ of all the geocaches within .1 miles of those waymarks. That would really increase the chances of finding a cache in a cool location. Even if the cache were in a lamp post in the parking lot, you'd just have a short walk to get to some place you're likely to enjoy. Of course it won't tell you if the container meets the Clan Riffster standard. Perhaps he thought if you were Waymarking, since there is no container you wouldn't be disappointed in that regard.

Some were even, gasp!, in parking lots. Well, I said that several days ago, but I did stumble on this. Yes, woods are rather common in the Northeast Mid-Atlantic where I'm from. And I know Mr. T. always says they throw ammo cans in a bush in the California desert. I was sort of referring to my own area, anyways. I was around, there weren't that many caches, and I knew where all the old archived ones were (they still showed up on the maps then), and I can assure you, no cache was ever placed in a parking lot in my 50 mile radius until late 2004. Therefore, I pre-date it, and was sort of taken aback by it. The few parking lot caches I saw in my travels elsewhere in the Mid-Atlantic in 2003 and 2004 all seemed to be Interstate rest-stop caches. And I know parking lot caching had been established way before that in Nashville, Jacksonville, Erie, Pa., etc.. Also, some of the caches I'm talking about were in nicely groomed, somewhat open Parks and bike trails, if it's the whole "in the woods" thing that drew your attention. Quote Link to comment

I was so excited to finally figure out GSAK and get my statistics posted to my profile. I was most excited about the "difficulty/ terrain" chart. then I took a look at it. It showed most of my hides are 1.5/ 1.5 My favorite hides are boat caches. There simply aren't that many around and it takes an entire day to do one cache. I'm like the others in that I hate the sight of a cache anywhere that doesn't have a smiley on it, so I have to get the LPC's too, whether i like them or not. We do have to get them all don't we?

Once I used something similar to that when I didn't have paper to write down the cache number when out in the field after I pulled it up on my phone. I wanted to have a "place holder" log basically so that I could go back when I got to a computer and write a proper log. That being said I know most people who do that log don't do it for the reason I did. But I fail to see much difference between TFTC and sent from the mobile device logs. If the person found the cache and signed your physical log then any appeal about the deletion will likely end up letting the log stand...
