+Avernar Posted March 26, 2011 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

+Avernar Posted March 26, 2011 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

Any of the three takes it - one hint included I see you have it under control... don't know if I have time remaining til disconnected. I guess the game is up for me except for public access for now, ISP disappears soon. email will still work, just need to find access again. Doug 7rxc bye bye for now Quote

+Capers4 Posted March 27, 2011 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
+t4e Posted March 27, 2011 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
+Capers4 Posted March 27, 2011 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
+Avernar Posted March 27, 2011 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
+Capers4 Posted March 27, 2011 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
+fyrfytr Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 WhooHoo! I got one! Aladdin's Magic Log GC1TDT5 I'll take a look and have something posted shortly. Edited to add that Aladdins Magic Log is the Letterbox. Dern - that was fast!! Quote
7rxc Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Dern - that was fast!! I snuck some time in... What did you expect... 15 minutes of fame it is! Good one for first effort. I managed to get to Bowen Island with the cached Canada map on GE... that was as good as it got... now I'm looking for a transportable connection somehow... Doug 7rxc bye til next sneak somewhere... Quote
7rxc Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 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 Thanks I've copied the text and will try it whenever I get a chance... losing the connect til ???

+Capers4 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Did I break the thread? No takers for where the cache is? Quote
+Avernar Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I've been hunting it off and on. No luck yet. Quote
+Capers4 Posted March 30, 2011 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
+Avernar Posted March 30, 2011 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
+Capers4 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 The sat view is off too. It is on the island. Quote
+Avernar Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 The sat view is off too. It is on the island. We've had that come up before. I'm just having trouble finding that pesky island. Quote
+dfx Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 No luck here either. Of course I'm assuming it's rated T5, which isn't necessarily true... Quote
+Avernar Posted March 30, 2011 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
+Avernar Posted March 31, 2011 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
+Capers4 Posted April 1, 2011 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
+Capers4 Posted April 1, 2011 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
+Avernar Posted April 1, 2011 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
+Capers4 Posted April 1, 2011 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
+Capers4 Posted April 1, 2011 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
+Qbar Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 http://coord.info/GC2P0TY Thank you, thank you very much for putting me out of my misery Quote
+Avernar Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) 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. 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!

+t4e Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 My turn to be a little evil. snip[/img] Find The Cache. woohooo you have 4444 finds Quote
+Capers4 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I looked too-it didn't help narrow it down any though! Quote
+Avernar Posted April 1, 2011 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
+Avernar Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 But I gave instructions on how to quickly and exactly find the cache when I posted the image so none of that is necessary. And for all you suspicious people, that statement is not an April Fools joke. Quote
+Juicepig Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Oh! That little town is "The Cache" Ontario - The Cache in question is http://coord.info/GC63F6 And just as an FYI, you cannot ride an ATV through town unless you are a resident of the cache: Quote
+Avernar Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Oh! That little town is "The Cache" Ontario - The Cache in question is http://coord.info/GC63F6 Yup! Find The Cache. Didn't I say to find "The Cache" For everyone else, you just had to go to Google Maps and type The Cache in the search box. Takes you right to it. Quote
7rxc Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Hoping to get to try some of these... I seem to have some connectivity again... 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! Doug 7rxc Quote
+Juicepig Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 An easy enough find, if you can get there: - I HAVE cached in this province, though nowhere near this cache - Its on an island Quote
+rtyrie Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Yakoun - GCW0KW I had a hunch about this one. I was almost correct - just had to move one major island to the north! Quote
