+jcar Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Looks like Nickel Creek Mystery Cache. Looks like they even signed the log book! Quote Link to comment
+GO West Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 I swear I looked at the page for that cache earlier today! Somehow I missed the logs. Now I have a classic cache to aim for my personal #500... or maybe I'll just go out and grab it this weekend. jcar, thanks for revealing the general location of this "?" cache. peas.

+Anonymous' Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Do we have a new reviewer in Washington? PNWadmin He approved my latest cache. Quote Link to comment
+Anonymous' Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 That was in fact Nickel Creek mystery cache which I wasn't able to find because I didn't have enough time to search for it. It was hidden by ncascademtns and I'm guessing the container is one of those black pvc pipe containers because at around the same time he hid RYKY's mystery cache which is that type of container.

+BadAndy Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I'm glad to hear that the bomb squad is finally getting a clue as to geocaching and not blowing them up. PNWadmin is also approving caches in the boise area. Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 He approved my latest cache. Hope they're from down here and not another Puget Sounder. What possible difference could that make? The reviewer for my area lives an hour north of me. Before I moved here, he lived 7 hours north of me. My caches aren't treated any different just because I'm closer. Quote Link to comment

The reviewer for my area lives an hour north of me. Before I moved here, he lived 7 hours north of me. My caches aren't treated any different just because I'm closer. Local knowledge of local issues. Lets say you are promoted from Mod to Approver and assigned my area (which I think is a hornets nest disproportionate to it's size). What do you know about the Portneuf Greenway Foundations take on caches on their properties? Heck even if PNWadmin is from my town and from the PGF as well as an avid cacher I won't even know that they do know what they are talking about because PNWadmin is not their real geocaching name.

+Logscaler and Red Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 (edited) PNWadmin has to be nice seeing as he now CONTROLS your caches, right? At least be nice for a while until their true colors show up and not try to run them out of town before they have their chance. No, I am not trying to kiss up seeing as I really don't give a rat's backside where they are from, which area they cover, gender, sexual preference, eye color, shoe size or whatever. It seems to me that so long as they are willing to give the JOB a shot AND that we need more approvers, it should not matter who they are as geocachers. Give them a fair chance for crying out loud. (Even if this is a load) Logscaler. Opps, sorry about the typo. Stupid fingers this morning it seems. (( PS )) But to add something else, RK, If you know of an area that there are restrictions on, why not put your best foot forwards and via private e-mail, inform the new approvers about those areas? Seems to me like that would make their job that much easier instead of having to learn of those places the hard way. Edited March 30, 2005 by logscaler Quote Link to comment

+richandsteph Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 HMM. "Police Enjoy a Geocache Adventure" Story. Fun. Not sure about the rest of the conversation. Quote Link to comment
+Stump Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 The reviewer for my area lives an hour north of me. Before I moved here, he lived 7 hours north of me. My caches aren't treated any different just because I'm closer. When I moved down south (of the PNW) I noticed a markedly different level of cache maintenance than I did up in the Puget Sound region. Nothing to do with the quality of approvers, we have top notch approvers. Just a matter of the approvers for three states all living in the same area and having a much different relationship with the cachers and less knowledge of the areas. Quote Link to comment
+Logscaler and Red Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Sorry about derailing the thread. Last weekend, Red and I where near a cache in a widespot. Where a bunch of construction equipment was parked. It was evening and getting dark. First car by? State Trooper. Pulled right in. Rolled his window down and asked if everything was alright. I told him I was looking for a geocache. He just got a big grin, said have fun and left. Just right. Logscaler and Red. Quote Link to comment

My caches aren't treated any different just because I'm closer. actually it does make a difference. The closer you get to me the faster I get yours listed. I don't want you driving by to complain. RK, still up to the same old poop I see. Nice to see you never change Edited April 6, 2005 by CO Admin Quote Link to comment

+Thomas & Dingo Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) Actually Logscaler you are not derailing the post, Everybody else has. Nice to see that the Police are more aware now that not every black container under a bush is a bomb. BTW did anybody see that putt by Tiger, never thought it would go in. (note: this is only a partial derail). Edited April 11, 2005 by Thomas & Dingo Quote Link to comment
+DrAwKwArD Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 BTW did anybody see that putt by Tiger, never thought it would go in. (note: this is only a partial derail). It was awesome, I'll admit. But it wasn't a putt. Quote Link to comment
+geospyder Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Found a cache in Omaha, NE last month that had an evidence tag in it. Apparently the cache was taken to the local PD after a complaint. See description http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...&decrypt=y&log= Quote Link to comment
