+buck09 Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 (edited) ohh one more thing.. check this ebay auction out.. this is really cool.. I gotta pick one of these babies up when my TB's come in!! That's very cool, however, keep in mind that the listing guidelines state that: If a shovel, trowel or other "pointy" object is used to dig, whether in order to hide or to find the cache, then it is not appropriate.

+HustlerPete Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 I wonder why that ebay link for a geocache site would not be appropriate.. looks like an awsome geocache site.. so what that you have to bury it to make it look hidden??? can anyone further explain this to me??

Pete I'm not sure if this is the right topic area for your question; perhaps it's better suited for here? But I'll answer it, or any others that you have, the best I can Here's an example of how to hide a link and replace it with a single word. To hide this link ( http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=2b...0e-97a5af7e11e0 ) as the text "Link", do the following: Type (without the spaces): [url= http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=2b...0e-97a5af7e11e0 ]Link[ /URL] If you do it right, it should end up looking like this: Link Hope this helps Edited May 8, 2004 by cache_us_if_you_can Quote Link to comment
+Team Tierra Buena Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 (edited) ...I am looking for people who want to go geocaching in the Phoenix, Arizona area.. Anybody interested... You can also try the listserver at the Arizona Geocaching Website. But like Saxman said, there won't be too many people eager to cache in Phoenix until the temperatures get back below 100 again .

Once it hits 85, it's hot enough around here for me. My wife hate's the heat (anything over 90 is "too dadgum hot") and I love the heat... She thinks I'm crazy when I want to go hiking or mtn. biking and it's 100° out. She also hates our jeep... the only time we have AC in it is when we have the windows down and we're going 60 Quote Link to comment

+Brian - Team A.I. Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 [on-topic] Drop me an e-mail and let me know a little about the types of caches you enjoy looking for and what part of town you're in. I live in the East Valley, and have nearly cached out the area, but I love caching anywhere else. [/on-topic] Quote Link to comment
+Blaidd-Drwg Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I'm not heading out there, but I was there in January. I would highly recommend the following virtual: Most interesting Virtual in Phoenix My wife and I got a big kick out of this one. Quote Link to comment
+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Been a long time since Ive had a chance to go to the forums here. If you'd like a list of good caches to go to, ask us on the list serv for Azgeocaching.com. I'd personally recommend Arizona Falls. It is by the canal, has waterfalls, and is a pleasant cool cache in these temperatures. What kind of caches do you like? Challenging urbans? See Cache Infantesimal, D-Man and Old Glory: the Dogs of War. Scenic ones? Rx: GPS prn (another shameless plug for mine) Want to see the desert or western stuff? Prospector Mickey Revisited and Ghostly Ride. Steve (TTB), some of us cache in the hot temps. Although in the summer, those night raids on caches are a blast. Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Papago Park in Scottsdale is an easy cache in a pretty park; wish I could go with ya - my son lives about 2 miles from it, I did this one on my last visit. Have fun, Ed Quote Link to comment
+Me & Bucky Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Phoenix is one of my favorite towns to cache in. Last year I would get into town Saturday evening then cache straight until around Sunday noon. Yes, it was hot. Several times the temperature never went below 100. Just take lots of water, a small flashlight, and a black light (for those black light caches, or when you want to see the scorpions! ). Night caching is probably what you want to concentrate on in Phoenix this time of year. I seem to remember, though, that most of the parks close around 10:00 pm. While you are in Phoenix, you might want to head a little northwest and take in the caches around Wickenburg, another great spot to cache in the area. Quote Link to comment
