Yes I DO want to climb this mountain. Yes, I DO want to get scratches all over. Yes, I KNOW its hot. Yes, I KNOW you're sweating. No, the mosquitos aren't biting ME. Yes, I KNOW you're hungry. Yes, I KNOW where we're going. No, we're NOT lost. Yes, I DID look at the map. No, there ISN'T a spider in your hair. Yes, I KNOW we're not even halfway back yet. No, this ISN'T the last cache we're ever searching for.

Arghhh! Sometimes I wish I could clone myself.

I sincerely feel that the facts are completely irrelevant in this case.

If you can get AIDS from hypodermic needles, but not from mosquito bites, why not make hypodermic needles out of mosquito stingers or disinfect them with mosquito venom? I hate when somebody writes loose instead of lose. I hate when people say that a charter membership is thirty odd dollars, when thirty is an even number. I hate getting checks in the mail, why can't they mail straight to the bank?

Actually, I was stating it only because my immediate area seems to lack in more difficult caches.

On my first day of school my parents dropped me off at the wrong nursery. There I was...surrounded by trees and bushes.

So define difficult. I spent 45minutes or so looking for a micro today and got lucky (it was part of the 'Travelin' Cache') The container was a 35mm film container sitting on the ground. To me that wasn't "difficult" but hard to find. Anyone can make a micro hard to find if not impossible if they want.

So what makes a difficult cache other than being small and hard to find?

1k · September 19, 2002

By difficult I mean a little tougher to get to, longer walk, more agressive terrain. I've had trouble locating some of my finds so far, but have always succeeded. My son is better at locating the actual cache. But there are a lot of caches here 5 feet off a common trail. It probably does not help that I have know 80% of this state by heart due to the travelling I have done here over the years.

I'm sure I'll find some tougher ones eventually, and I may feel a little different once I get a few no-finds.

Is it that, or just that most polls don't get enough replies? The Official Geocaching FRS Channel Part 3 FINAL ROUND Poll covers 2 pages.

Strange... that thread, with 53 replies has four on the second page, which jives with the typical cutoff for multi-page thread.

This thread, however, has 57 replies, and is contained on a single page.

Could the difference be that Jeremy started the thread, or might it be because he locked it?

The number of posts has nothing to do with the page break, but instead the length of the actual page determines it?

You proabably cannot paste because the computer has run out of glue. Get a gallon at your nearest wholesale store and squeeze into all available holes on the computer.

Numbers, length, glue, I don't know

What I do know is that we need the link to page one, two, three, four, so, on, and, so, forth on the main forum page so that you don't have to go to the thread (page one) then go to whatever page you want. I have been on many forums that have this feature and it is nice.

I'm sure I will be posting/replying to comments on page one where the thread has gone to multiple pages for a while until I get used to it.

That sounds like a quote from an old friend of mine that used to work tech. support in the IT dept., he was overflowing with sarcasm.

He always had idiots calling in with the most moronic problems. He actually had to go to one person's desk just to plug in (the electrical plug, not the computer connection) the monitor and turn it on 'cause she (yes, it was a she) was too stupid to follow directions.

I'm not lost!

I just don't know where I am.

I hate pushy sales people who won't leave you alone, even after you tell them you don't want their help. Just once, I'd like to do this:

Record Store Clerk: Can I help you find anything?

Me: Everything's in alphabetical order, right?

RSC: Uh... yeah.

Me: I think I'll be fine then.

People who return to a cache just to pick up a travel bug. There's not much challenge in going back to a cache you have already visited.

I think I'd take exception to that last one.

If it weren't for that practice, I'd probably never get a travel bug. Sure it's not a challenge to find the cache, but if I can help a bug along, why not? I don't claim the cache as "found" on the subsequent visit, only a note indicating that I grabbed the bug.

Well, if I am going back to a cache to find a bug, it isn't about the challenge anymore. I'd just be interested in helping a bug along on its way.

Cheese

A record store sales clerk asked me “Is there anything I can help you with?” I said, “Yeah, you can knock three or four bucks off the price of this disk.” She went to the back and got me a coupon for three bucks off.

Sometimes it pays to tell them what you REALLY want.

Having that one cache that you can't and really don't want to find at the top of your ever shortening 100 mile radius list. The micro cache that only one person in the last six months has claimed to find and a dozen others including myself convinced that it either is now underwater or sufficiently covered by stinging nettles that you'll never find it. At the same time resisting the urge to fake it to get the dang thing out of your face.

Or I'm just to anal and can't get over it

I think I'll just go drive that 42 miles this evening and find the next closest.
