The Jeeps have arrived! Look for them in caches near you. Each Jeep has been personally “test-driven” by my 3 year-old-son and is ready to go!
More details coming soon!
Bunny…..
Just an idea..
If you cannot sell this, but still want to see it go to good use, you could donate it to the WGA, and we could use it at our events.
In the past, we’ve always had to borrow Magellan cables. Seems like JUST about everybody on the Board uses Garmin, so these cables tend to be harder to come by.
What’s This?
Stay tuned for details!
As far as geocache placement…
“Whatever floats your boat.”
(so long as it conforms to the guidelines at geocaching.com)Different geocachers like to find different types of caches. Let each individual geocacher decide if they want to seek a particular style cache.
Speaking as a geocache reviewer:
If you are the owner of a cache, whether it be regular or event, YOU set the logging requirements. If you want to allow 27 logs, you can do it. Geocaching.com has stated that they generally don’t care how caches are logged on-line.As far as the reviewers being “overwhelmed”, I would have to disagree. At times, if there are enough new caches submitted, the turn-around time can increase by a day or two. Turns out that Sundays and Mondays tend to have the most submissions.
Keep in mind that the geocache reviewers are also geocachers, and like to find new geocaches too.
I have a 76CS, and I love the built in compass. However, I do not leave it on all of the time.
Before I first head out of a parking area, I turn it on to get a good bearing of the general direction of the cache. Once I start walking, I cannot hold the unit perfectly level, so the built-in compass kinda goes wacko. At that time, I turn it off until I get close to the cache. Once I stop to look around, I turn it back on, and it works as good as an external compass.
Next year we wear skirts!
That outta improve the eye-candy factor !
Thanks for the request, but we are already headed in that direction….
As was mentioned at the campout meeting, there has been some VERY PRELIMINARY groundwork done with regards to re-vamping the current website and message boards.
I cut this from the very bottom of the “Alpha” test version of the new message boards.

Thanks for getting it back on-line so quickly!
I’ve found that Mineral Spirits (paint thinner) takes the adhesive off lickety split, but then you have to get the oily remains of the mineral spirits off.
I’ve found that brake cleaner or laquer thinner works good for getting the mineral spirits off.
I then take Windex to the whole windshield (it usually needs to be cleaned anyway).
The whole process takes me about 2 minutes, including the scraping.
I’ve seen that quite a few people will start out their caches as “Member Only”, then after a week or two change it to a normal cache.
That way you can give the Member Only folks a chance to find it first when it is fresh, but then open it up to everybody a little later.
Bec,
Your Pay-Pal thingy went through just fine. After the Pay-Pal part of the transaction, you needed to go back to the WGA Store 2, which actually completes the order.
We have had a little trouble with the interface between Pay-Pal and the WGA Store 2. What happens from our perspective, is that we see funds coming in on Pay-Pal, but no order showing up on the WGA Store 2.
Fortunately, it is easy to figure who placed the order via Pay-Pal, and then go back in and fix the WGA Store 2. The E-mail message you got was us simply completing your order on the WGA Store 2.
No worries, everything is OK, your order is good, we have your money via Pay-Pal.
If you still want to send me a check, I’m open to that.
Ever the optomist…. Although sometimes these message boards hit some rough seas, I would say that overall the waters are usually very calm.
It’s not a good idea to leave food or similar items because then we would have a woods full of geocaching animals.
Something else to think about…..
Would YOU eat something that came out of cache?quote:

Does anyone have a feeling on small pocketknives in the caches? I know knives are considered *forbidden*, but a couple times I’ve come across a little one in one of those super sealed rigid plastic packages that takes lots of sharp objects just to open, and then the darn plastic is probably one of the sharpest object on the face of the earth…. Anyhow, I’ve always taken those knives out based on the general “no knives” rule, but maybe they’re ok since they’re practically impossible for someone to open? Anyone have thoughts here?
Unfortunately, a knife is a knife, even small trinkety ones.
Think about it in terms of a school’s Zero Tolerance policy on weapons. Little joey goes and finds a keychain pocket knife from a cache and brings it to school. I’m guessing he is going to be in big trouble if he gets caught.
I think the right answer is * No Knives, period *.
