poikää & butterfly Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Being in an area that had few hidden caches we decided to bring the total up. Since I drive around for my job it is an easy way to place them and Butterfly usually goes with me. We have placed 26 since last Sept 2002 and now the weather is warming and the snow is going, the sleepy cachers are moving. great fun to check our cache pages and read the stories! As much fun as finding them! Poikaa es Butterfly (soon to have an avatar) Quote Link to comment
+Treasure Trackers Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 We recently hid our first cache. It is lots of fun watching people find it (only one finder so far, but it's sooner than I thought someone would find it). Seeing someone log your cache is a close second to finding one.

+Team Shibby Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Team Shibby has only placed one cache so far, but it is nice to see that everyone enjoys it and we have introduced at least 40 people to a great little park!! Kar TEAM SHIBBY!!!! Krs, Kar & Na Quote Link to comment
Radman Forever Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 When I can't go geocaching I love hearing and reading about the different stories about people finding my caches. At the Michigan Geocaching Organization's recent gathering I even asked a few people how they liked my caches. If I had multiple bad comments, I would change the cache to make it better. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Faster than a dial-up Internet connection, stronger than any band nerd, look up at the sky! ....is it a bat..... no .....is it my grandma's mustache.....

Congrats on your First Placement and Approval...I was ready to get approval last week, but due to the High Water, the Ranger's office has been unaccessable. I have 2 boxes ready to go, but PA requires Approval from the EPA/DEP for geocaches placed in either State Forest land or State Parks. Hopefully I will get to see the Ranger this Friday and see about placement of 2 caches. Again Congrats on your First cache. Robert There is nothing like a Packrat who is a geocacher.

+RichardMoore Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I've only placed one cache so far. It is near a pond in a little-known part of the Cleveland Metroparks. The first person to find it said that they have lived in the area for 30 years and didn't know that the pond was there. Another finder could remember swimming in the pond when he was younger and the pond was private property. I enjoy reading logs like that for my cache. It means that I did something good for other people. RichardMoore Today's date would be easier to remember if they didn't change it every day. Quote Link to comment
The Buzzard's Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Knowing people enjoy finding our caches is definitely almost as good as finding everyone elses. As much as we don't like placing mini-caches, we've placed a couple and there will be few more within the next couple weeks. We figure it's the best thing to do until we find out how mother nature covers the ground. We don't like placing caches where there is a lot of poison ivy or poison oak, since a couple of us are very allergic to them. This is going to be the first full summer for some of us, so we are planning quite a few new caches, even before Memorial Day gets here. Quote Link to comment
+ErSamin Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I have one cache that is located near one of my normal driving routes. I now always look at both the area and the recommended parking location whenever I drive by there. I have actually seen two cachers at the location as I am driving (it's too far away to recognize individuals from that distance and with the speed limit that is posted for that road). It is such a cool feeling! I get home and can't wait to see the log notification pop up on my e-mail. I like to get all my cache notifications, but when I can 'catch someone in the act', it's even better. "Could be worse...could be raining" Quote Link to comment
do-not-contact Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=59091 This cache is directly across the street from my house. I am a stay at home person so I have had the joy of watching most of the people who visit this cache. If you go after this cache look around you might see me waving at you. lol Quote Link to comment
OuttaHand Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 We (wife and I) have two real caches and a virtual out there. We love to see them found. It's always fun to get that e-mail notification and see what they have to say about the cache and the area. My dad also has my caches on his Watch List because he enjoys the same thing. Planning on placing a couple more this Memorial Day weekend, too! Quote Link to comment
+Zartimus Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I thought you meant like, hiding in the bushes at night while other cachers tried to find your cache or something, and then you could somehow gain their attention, possibly by making some gutteral noises, and then maybe introduce yourself...
