+instep_guy Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 A new listing in WV GCJ940 would you try to be the FTF??? Quote Link to comment
+TeamK-9 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Other than the fact that the cache page says absolutely nothing, I see no major problems. It doesn't look more than 200 feet from a road... Quote Link to comment
bug and snake Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Sparse huh! Type of cache (description): Minimalist Quote Link to comment
Dinoprophet Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 The minimalism, I have no problem with. I'm generally not opposed to (apparently) newbie hides, but when coupled with the zeros in the coordinates, it does set off some warning bells. Someone approved it, though, and I imagine they wondered about the same things before giving it the okay. Quote Link to comment
+SixDogTeam Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I've got thirty FTF's, but I'd let somebody else confirm that this jewel exists...The zeroes and the fact that the hider seemingly has never found a cache...Maybe the account is a sock puppet? I wouldn't have enough confidence in it to bother... Quote Link to comment
+Stunod Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 My guess is that it hasn't been place yet. I often submit the cache with bogus coords, but UNCHECK the box that says "this cache is currently active", inorder to get the GCxxxx number to place in the logbook. Once I forgot to uncheck the box, but the approver noticed the blank description & coords with many 0's and asked me if I was really ready to submit it. Quote Link to comment
ghOzt Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I like links. Links are good. Quote Link to comment
+bons Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I'd be tempted to try for FTF. If it turns out the cache really isn't there, I'd be very interested in seeing if there was a good place to hide one. Quote Link to comment
uperdooper Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Hysteria cache could it be a cache like this? Quote Link to comment
+wvcoalcat Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I don't think I'd try to be FTF. I'm about 50 crow miles from there which equates to approximately 75 to 80 road miles. This would consume at least 3 hours of driving just to get there and return. This does not even include what time the search could take. Heck, the coords could actually be correct, but I'm still apprehensive because of what has already been mentioned, i.e. newbie factor (7 days), find factor (0), and of course all the 0's in the coords. I think I'll pass until tmp (a local, often FTF'r) places a mousetrap and bear bell in it. Quote Link to comment
+Maeglin Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Given the lack of information, I think a "qrsvavgryl" is missing from the hint Quote Link to comment
mortonfox Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I'd go for it if I'm in the neighborhood or if it's on the way to something else. It doesn't seem to be too far from a road. Quote Link to comment
+Team Flying Dachshund Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I would try if it was not there you could get a locationless anyway. Quote Link to comment
+Maeglin Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Indeed... a "maybe this is the cache?" locationless. Quote Link to comment
+wvcoalcat Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Oh no. We've got another zero co-ord cache near (relatively) this one. The hint is almost as helpful too. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...93-2aebefadb08d Quote Link to comment
