+Avernar Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Woot! Woot! Southernmost Stash- Multi Been lurkin' and searchin' since the last one I managed to locate - okay so this was easy but hey, a find is a find! No need to throw you a bone, looks like you already have one. While working on my bookmark list of all the caches here I noticed the north end of the island was used before. Yay, I'm on page 3 of the topic. Edited March 26, 2011 by Avernar Quote Link to comment

+Avernar Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yay, I'm done! Here's the bookmark list of all previous caches. To use this list to avoid duplicates, click the Create Pocket Query near the bottom of the page. You don't need to run this query on any days. Once created just click on the Preview in Google Maps icon. Keep the Pocket Query around as it will auto update as I add to the bookmark list. Quote Link to comment

+Capers4 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I just looked over the bookmark list and I didn't notice this one. Doesn't mean it isn't there, I just didn't notice it Thanks to Avernar for making the list for us. Quote Link to comment
+t4e Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 how about i teach you to use the "multiquote" feature and you teach me how you find everything on the map? Actually, I'd like to know how... the basic problem is that I've not tried it... well, once when it first appeared and it did not do anything at that time... not even a basic reply... I've never gone back to it. I can do it the 'old' way, this time I was only after a little bit from each so cut and paste was fine and suitable. Doug 7rxc it works now...click on "multiquote" button of each post you want to quote and go to the bottom of the page and click "Add Reply"...all posts will appear in the editor you just have to write your reply after the "[../Quote]" of each quoted post thanks for the insight, unfortunately if it i don't find it in the first 5 minutes i loose my patience lol Quote Link to comment
+Capers4 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I lose my patience pretty quickly too, but Fyrfyter gave 2 good clues with his post, so I knew roughly where to start looking. Quote Link to comment
+Avernar Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I just looked over the bookmark list and I didn't notice this one. Doesn't mean it isn't there, I just didn't notice it Since you're a premium member you can do that Pocket Query trick i mentioned to get a Google Map with the list on it. Makes finding a spot really easy. Quote Link to comment
+Capers4 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Thanks for your explanation in an earlier post. I had heard people talking about doing a query and previewing it without running it, but I had never done it before. Very helpful. I can go days without running a query and then want to run more than I'm allowed, so this is going to help. Quote Link to comment

+Capers4 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Did I break the thread? No takers for where the cache is? Quote Link to comment
+Avernar Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I've been hunting it off and on. No luck yet. Quote Link to comment
+Capers4 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Here is a hint. On the day that I posted the picture, the cache had not been found yet and it was published a couple of months ago. Quote Link to comment
+Avernar Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) I've looked at all Traditional caches in Canada that are not archived, placed in January and February of 2011 and had no finds before March 26th. No luck still. I'm going to have to go back to December and November just in case it was placed earlier and published late. Edited March 30, 2011 by Avernar Quote Link to comment

+dfx Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 No luck here either. Of course I'm assuming it's rated T5, which isn't necessarily true... Quote Link to comment
+Avernar Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 No luck here either. Of course I'm assuming it's rated T5, which isn't necessarily true... I started with T5 but eventually PQ'd everything from January and February. That's 2676 caches placed. Filtering out caches that have found logs before March 26th gives me 175 caches. Quite a few of those have been found before March 26th but because of the 5 log PQ limitation the GSAK filter can't tell they were found before then. I checked all 175 and while a few were on islands, they didn't match the picture. I'll PQ December tomorrow and see if it's in there. Quote Link to comment
+Avernar Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Searched all non-archived traditional caches with Canada as the country placed in December, January, February and March that do not have a find log dated before the 21st (just in case someone found it before the 26th but logged it late). Can't find that island. Quote Link to comment
+Capers4 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Sorry everyone, I've had a major computer issue and I have lost a lot of stuff including the GC for the cache pic I posted. When I chose it, I just scanned the map and chose a cache at random, it just happened to an unfound cache. I have been going through the maps on my husbands computer while he is trying to recover mine, and I can't find it either. I'll keep looking, I hope I can find it again. Quote Link to comment
+Avernar Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Just pick a new one. We won't mind. Quote Link to comment
+Capers4 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 You know when you are having a tough time finding a cache and you keep saying "I'm done here, let's go" and then you turn to leave and find the cache? I decided to give it one more try on the map after my last post and Eureka! I found it again! Next hint-It is in Ontario. Quote Link to comment
+Avernar Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Next hint-It is in Ontario. This is definitely a tough one! Here's what we know so far: It's a Traditional cache. It's in Ontario i.e. it says In Ontario, Canada below the coordinates on the cache page (just checking ) Published a couple of months ago, assuming December to February to be safe No found logs when picture was posted (26th of March). Can't assume this still exists because of late logging. Can we get a update that there are still no found logs dated on or before the 26th of March on the cache page? If you are feeling generous, are there any found logs date after the 26th? So far I've found three caches on islands that meet the criteria but they don't match the picture (this could be for a lot of reasons): GC2NE95, GC2P5A9 and GC2ETY2 Edited April 1, 2011 by Avernar Quote Link to comment
+Avernar Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Oh, and is North up as usual? Quote Link to comment
+Capers4 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 North is up. It is in Ontario. It was published in the time frame you listed (December to February). Still not found. and AMMO CAN Quote Link to comment
+Capers4 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yup! That's the one! Rated 2/2 and for some reason it was placed last May, but not published until February. Sounds like a nice place to go visit. Quote Link to comment

That's what was messing me up. Pocket Queries are only by placed date and I only requested data since Oct 1, 2010. Now that I'm at home and found out it was in Ontario I did a proper search based on Published logs. Unfortunately dfx beat me by like 15 seconds. It was a good choice for the quiz!

+Avernar Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 woohooo you have 4444 finds That was on the 16th. I've just regenerated my stats now. It's 4498. I don't recommend going through them all to find that one though. I looked too-it didn't help narrow it down any though! My stats would show that it has to be in Ontario or Quebec. It wouldn't take too long going through my All Geocache Finds pages to find the two possibilities in Quebec. The stats even show what counties in Ontario it could be in. But I gave instructions on how to quickly and exactly find the cache when I posted the image so none of that is necessary. Quote Link to comment

Managed to get the laptop back together for room mate, but need a keycap hinge or two.. but it's working... now it turns out someone lost the admin password... sigh... after changing it... Anyone know how to bypass a Vista Home admin pw without reloading the software? I'm trying permutations of what they think they changed it to. You think finding a cache pic is tough!
