+minichilipepper Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Please don't think me too stupid, but I want to know if I have what Waymarking is. I understand that it is not cache, it is a place that is of interest to me and other geocachers So you log a Waymark that you have been there but there is no cache to find Thanks for you help.

Welcome minichilipepper. Yes, a waymark is a place (or item) of interest that you document with coords, photos, and usually text. You can post a waymark (create and submit one to the category and it will be reviewed by an officer in that category), or you can visit a waymark (go find it, take a photo, and log your visit online). Be careful to read the category requirements for creating and visiting a waymark, since they can vary greatly. There are well over 1,000 waymark categories-so you can choose which ones interest you and ignore the rest. Edit: Many people who are not involved in geocaching view waymark pages, and some waymarkers have never geocached. But it is very convenient that your geocaching username/password are the same for Waymarking. I hope that helps. Edited December 28, 2012 by Max and 99 2 Quote Link to comment
+Outspoken1 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I think perhaps the easiest way to 'see' what is Waymarking is to put your location in on the main Waymarking page and hit 'search.' Hopefully, you will see Waymarks done by others that you can go visit. If you enjoy the 'visit' part, then take a look at the Categories pages (show all categories) and see if there is anything that raises your interest. Art? History? Sports? Click on that category, read how to post a Waymark (show additional information) and go for it. Easy to find Waymarkable items include public sculpture, murals, wi-fi hotspots, historical markers, cemeteries. These can be found at almost any location. Then all you need is some way to take GPS coordinates (GPS receiver or newer smartphones) and a camera (newer smartphones have a camera but you will soon find the desire for a good zoom on your camera!). Voila! You are becoming addicted to Waymarking!! There are many experienced Waymarkers who are always happy to help. Take care and enjoy, Outspoken1 Quote Link to comment

+FamilieFrohne Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hello Heva, don't worry. I have also an insect hotel in the pipeline waiting for publish. I'm pretty sure that one of the officers will do his duty sooner or later ... all of them were online in the last six weeks. Yours Erik. Quote Link to comment

Stupid and ignorant are, as a rule, quite apart from one another. You've already, even before asking your question, divined the concept which underlies Waymarking, so you're certainly NOT stupid. Prior to your arrival you may have been, to some small extent, ignorant of the concept of Waymarking. That idea, too, seems to be in the rear view mirror, taking "ignorant" with it. Since it's apparent you're neither stupid nor ignorant, you already "have a leg up" on many who pass through these halls. Welcome to the weirdness that is Waymarking. Try it. If you like it, it just may happen to coincide with other, more (or less) developed interests of yours. In any event, WELCOME TO Waymarking!!! You'll either love it or you'll become uninterested or indifferent, but it's quite unlikely that you'll hate it. Keith Quote Link to comment
