+planetrobert Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 So what do you think of people who leave a 'card' in the cache, sorta like a buisness card but instead relates to the user and their caching exploits? Now where did I set my GPS??? planetrobert.net Link to comment
Steak N Eggs Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 Our "TEAM" has a card. The wife loves doing little things like that. I personally like the hunt. I could care less for the "treasure" inside since most are more KID oriented. BUT I do read the log book and like to see who has been there before me (if I didn't get there first). Mayby I should change my answer to number two...... "My gps say's it RIGHT HERE". http://www.geogadgets.com 12 caches in 12 hours. Link to comment
+IdahoMan Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 I think they are a good idea and it helps promote the sport if they are passed out to people. I found a Cache Card listed in the forums. I copied it then made my own. I leave them in Caches that I plant and find. I place my E-Mail address on the back. I do this so that people can take a couple and pass them out to Non-GeoCachers. It is a great way to promote the sport. I will be making a Cache Card for our local group "Lewis Clark Valley GeoCachers". I keep some on hand every where I go. As I meet people that show interest in the sport, I give them a card. I also drop them off at sporting good store that sell GPSR units. I hope I don't sound like some sort of GEEK. If I do then oh well. Frank IdahoMan IdahoMan@cableone.net Lewis Clark Valley GeoCachers Link to comment

+Doc Ott Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 I leave a little yellow rubber stopper that says 'Doc Ott Stopped here' and the date. It's cheesy, I know. -Doc Ott A day without thermonuclear fusion is like a day without sunshine. Link to comment

It's only a piece of paper ... I don't leave any myself ... always find them interesting to read ... sort of like the log books ... I do place collector cards in my caches with a photo of a significant view and the placement date and coordinates. They seem to be popular with those visiting the caches ...

+mtn-man Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 So is signing the actual log book and then signing the virtual log self promotion? Seems kind of like you are promoting the fact that you were there. I just like to have my "self promotion c***" printed out in advance so I can sign the log book faster and maybe squeeze in an extra cache!!! I also like to see the creativity of other cachers as they leave their personal touch via their cache cards. Bring em on... dang, I hope my picture of my dog below here isn't to self promotional!!!

Very nicely done, as are Rich's magnets and other goodies. Link to comment

I think you'll find quite a few of Hawk-Eyes fine wares scattered around north Jersey! Glad to see you made it to "Ay Caramba" today. Miserable weather, though. I thought for sure I was going to bump into you on Tuesday. That's a nice hunt the Dodger has there. Had me going in circles a couple of times, but it was loads of fun.

I thought for sure I was going to bump into you on Tuesday. That's a nice hunt the Dodger has there. Had me going in circles a couple of times, but it was loads of fun. I almost did go for it on Tuesday, but the thread about another suspected "trash cache" popped up, and since it was within an hour of home, I went to check into it. (It wasn't a trash cache, I'm happy to report.) But it was too far in the wrong direction to combine with "Ay Caramba" ... it's funny, but I was thinking I might meet you on the trail to the potential "trash cache!" I agree with you, Artful Dodger did a terrific job, and "Ay Caramba!" was great fun . . . despite the rain! Link to comment
