Not sure our Nuvi works the same as yours, but we just delete them right on the unit. Touch “Tools”, then “My Data”, then “Delete Favorites”. We usually select all, then uncheck the few we want to keep and delete the rest.
January, 2006 for us.
This is the boat which Captain drives during the summer season and also forms the basis of one of our caches, which is hidden nearby.
Hudson’s a good place. We did 82 the other day in about 5 hours (some were on the MN side of the river, but not far.)

If you are going to log your own caches, you might as well get the FTF.
What’s the difference?
We’re going to guess that it’s actually been done.

I couldn’t see any other challenges except the Kiss A Frog one, can anyone else?
Same with us-you can’t search by postal code, but we tried using the GC code for one of our nearby caches and it just said there weren’t any challenges near us. “Kiss a Frog” seems to be getting lukewarm reviews from the number of “thumbs down” votes. If this is their long-awaited return of virtual caches……. 🙄
After a brief look, we were not impressed. Maybe it will grow on us…. 😕

There are no requirements for cache page or cache logs! Only that the paper log is signed.
Get over yourselves.
Common courtesy isn’t required in the real world, either, but I still think most people appreciate it when they are the recipient.

GC28W63 is the first cache that I saw using a QR code. It was published over a year ago.
It took about 5 minutes to solve-first one we’ve done like that. As codejunkie said, no special equipment needed. It was kind of cool!
Perhaps our anti-virus software is being overly cautious, but it keeps wanting to block anything to do with the Munzee site as exhibiting suspicious behavior. Oh well, we did switch to this program after the one we had allowed a virus in that was real hard to remove, so it appears to be quite vigilant.

There was something here a while back about a geocaching hall of fame. I wasn’t fond of that proposal, and I’m not fond of this one. There are way too many geocachers I know of who fit the bill just in Wisconsin alone. There is no way that any one cacher out of five million worldwide can be singled out each month for this or any kind of an honor.
Geocaching is a game, not a contest. There are no winners and there are no losers. While this appears to be honoring those who uphold to the nth degree the ideal standards of geocaching, it is still a contest. Bad idea, IMO.
I would not nominate any one geocacher, nor would I vote for any one geocacher.
Ditto.
Codejunkie’s post could have been written by us. We use the exact same gear and love it.
As the CO, you have every right to make your cache premium only if you want-that’s just the way it is. The person who wrote the log can take it up with Groundspeak, but he needs to get over this particular issue. We don’t see his logic that if it’s on public land it should be open to everyone.
Well, more info. regarding our previous post has come to light, providing a logical explanation for the missing signatures on our cache. There is a youth camp very near where the final is hidden and a previous finder described the container he found, which is different from the actual container. It seems the camp ran some geocaching activity and hid a container near our final, which is the source of the confusion. I guess this explains why the proximity rule is a good idea. Anyway, the mystery of the missing signatures seems to be solved. Finders whose logs were deleted have been asked to relog their finds.
We’ve never been inclined to get too involved in comparing logbook signatures with online logs and had never deleted a log until recently. We got a found log not long ago on one of our multi-caches where the finder located the WP, but said he was not able to enter the final coordinates on his GPSr because he didn’t know how. Well, we deleted that log (our first ever). Today, when we did some maintenance on the same cache and replaced the logbook, we noticed that the last 3 cachers who logged a find did not sign the log. One of them is a very experienced and well-known cacher with a ton of finds to whom we are inclined to give the benefit of the doubt. We’re just a little puzzled, though-what the heck is going on here? 😕
