+jeff35080 Posted January 15, 2003 Author Share Posted January 15, 2003 Okay, to prove that I did learn something from this thread, I hid a cache yesterday afternoon. It was not at the location of my archived virtual cache we have been discussing, but at another location. Here's the cache: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=50299 I have made it so people have to view the historic site I hope that erik noticed it was mine when he approved it and that he took note that I did learn something. I am thinking of how I can hide a micro at my furnace site to get it approved and that leads me to a question about it. Can the archived one be edited by me then resubmitted? How would I go about resubmitting it for approval? Do I just email the person that denied it or, once done, can you take a look at it erik? Happy caching!

+infosponge Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 I did a virtual cache today that was less than 60 feet from a pre-existing micro cache (one of mine). I don't know how it got approved. No bid deal, I guess, but I was suprised. Link to comment
+jeff35080 Posted January 18, 2003 Author Share Posted January 18, 2003 but I was suprised I have learned a lot of things in this thread that have surprised me I am going to get my virtual approved by adding a traditional cache at another location and somehow figure out a way to get people to the traditional one with info from the virtual. I know that the 'approvers' have a lot of caches to approve on any given day, but it does seems as if there are some arbitary decisions that take place when approving caches. I would like to thank erik for corresponding with me via email and offering me some great suggestions for getting mine approved. I would also like to echo the comments of others in stating that there should be some definite guidelines posted and possibly some examples list of what will not be approved. Happy caching!

+Ish-n-Isha Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Anyone wanna bet on how long you can still log an event cache if you cant find the macro they have hidden in a drilled out pinecone 30' up in a tree? Cachin's a bit sweeter when you've got an Isha! Link to comment
+jeff35080 Posted January 19, 2003 Author Share Posted January 19, 2003 What is up with this cache: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=12627 I guess it could be difficult, but I think that it's crazy for me to have so much difficulty getting my virtual approved and here is one that got approved that can be done from your computer Jeff http://www.StarsFellOnAlabama.com http://www.NotAChance.com Link to comment

Thats one of the early locationless caches, it predates most of the current guidelines for vitual/locationless guidelines. Just like the infamous "Yellow Jeep" cache, it's grandfathered. The more complete answer is it actually CAN'T be done from your computer. You need to find someone in another part of the world will to do the work for you. That person still needs to go locate a spot with his GPS, so in my opion, it's more geocaching then most other locationless caches. Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon. Link to comment
+Allen_L Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Check the "hidden" date. It is 1/9/2002. The cache was submitted before the rules were tighten and was grandfathered in. Link to comment
