Is there any way to put them on a map like the LCG? Some of these places I’ve never heard of and have no idea if they are near my routes.
Oh the woes of the short geocacher!

OK Mr. G, I took your advice and hid a nice ammo can in the woods today. Just waiting for it to be published now.

Just checking things out. It looks like CR1489 was just found a few days ago. Maybe it can be considered verified?

Thanks!

I think that she did one of those for you already…http://coord.info/GC2WP8C
Hey that’s right! Nothing tricky here, I assure you Mr. G. And this hardly counts as a puzzle. 🙄

We have had had a few TB’s that have gone to some really cool places. They’ve been to a castle in Ireland, Machu Pichu, Disneyland in France, etc. I really wish I could tag along!
Oh the woes of the short geocacher!
Really?! I run into them all the time. I just placed 4 of them on Sunday in a TB hotel and picked up another.

Thank you both. 🙂

Birdin, nice idea. I’ve thought the same thing lately. I tried to post a positive the other day in the missing answers thread but no one seemed to notice. I’ve got lots of positives to share.
First, it’s been a great way for our family to get up and get going outside. My kids have been to some great places and have learned so much about the great outdoors. They’ve learned to be more considerate of the environment and have become more adventurous. I am making a quilt for my son for his birthday and he says he only wants me to use fabrics that involve nature. How sweet!
Second, I have struggled with my weight for a very long time. In the past year I have managed to lose a lot of weight. I mean, a LOT! There were several contributing factors to this but one of them was that I have tried to get a little more strenuous with my exercising. I’ve used geocaching to help me make that fun. And making it fun has helped me stick to it and not make excuses. I even did hiking in the winter, something I didnt do before. I’m not quite to my goal yet but I’m getting close. I plan on continuing to motivate myself to keep losing and then maintaining my weight with caching.
I’ve made some new friends while caching. That’s been fun. It’s so great to connect with other people who share my love of the outdoors. I look forward to meeting even more people.
I also really enjoy getting logs on my caches. Well, ok, not so much the TFTC’s, those are pretty much meaningless. But sometimes I get a log really makes my day. I love going back and reading the logs and hearing about other cacher’s experiences. I usually get the best logs on my earth caches. Just the other day I got a log from someone who had been unexpectedly pleased at Cave of the Mounds, staying an extra day in the area. And it was my cache that had brought them there! It gave me warm fuzzies!
Well, I could probably go on and on but I’ll quit now. Now let’s hear some more stories!

Congratulations! I hope you enjoy your new addition. 🙂

I can’t get on at all. Don’t they know how nice it is outside?!
Oh the woes of the short geocacher!
Wow! 250 in a week! Impressive.

I got mine at Sherpers in Greenfield. I paid about $10. I have no idea if that’s a good price or not. Anyone?

I got a log recently, by a new cacher that was mad that the cache coords were off 10 feet and that they had to leave the parking lot to find it. :dry: :blink: :unsure: :wacko:
Seriously?! 🙄
I found one in Idaho this summer where the coords were 50 feet off. I took new coordinate readings but when I went to log I chickened out. Now I’m feeling guilty. 😳

So what is a reasonable amount of time to wait for an answer before you delete a log? I’m not real stingy, I tend to let a lot slide because I don’t want to be mean. But I had someone log a “Cool” on an EarthCache, no descriptive log, no photo, no answers sent. Two days ago I wrote them a nice note and said that I noticed that they were new and needed to send the answers and asked if they had any questions about caching. I haven’t heard back yet. I think it’s time to delete the “cool”, right?
