I think it will be interesting to see if they adopt anything we can use. I would love to see some of those trees. It’s unfortunate that so many of them have poor location listings.
I’m looking forward to seeing what happens.
I think it’s interesting to see what other cachers are doing, and agree that Brew has done an awesome job with the site.
I have 5 months before my first geocaching anniversary and the stats say-
Top 20’s-
Total finds- 19th
Traditional- 15th
Multi Caches-17th
Rate per Day- 4thGeez I can’t wait for this semester to end!
Screw Disneyland, i’m going geocaching!![This message has been edited by Cathunter (edited 03-05-2004).]
The common rule is that if you can’t check on or do other maintenance to your cache within 7-10 days or so of a reported problem, you should probably look closer to home.
I believe cache areas should be accessable 365 days a year. I.E. don’t place a cache in an area that is closed part of the year. Some situations may be exempt, but as with anything else, the approver makes the final decision.
Difficulty and terrain can be determined by filling out this form- http://www.clayjar.com/gcrs/
Main concerns for placement in my mind= safty of cachers/children;
potential environmental damage caused by increased traffic in the cache area;
challenge/enjoyment of the hunt;
potential for being found by non-cachers
These are my thoughts- others are sure to have their own
Geez, what took ya so long?
But seriously, Congratulations Bob & Pat!! Thanks for hunting a few of mine on your journey.
Just think- next comes 500! Who would have thought?
Wow, I didn’t even know we had that many different species. I would love to go and check some of these out, but I would never find them without coordinates.
For you broadband users, heres a link to the TV new broadcast. I am happy to see that the story actually made geocaching look good/interesting.
http://www.creed-fanatic.com/bbd/news12_small.mov (22.2 MB)You will need Quicktime viewer to see the clip.
I was also happy to see that the cachers were cool enough to later return and find the cache.
I didn’t think the question had anything to do with stats or guilt- it was seeking “official” policy on accepted practice. I’m really happy to see how many of the members replied with their thoughts. It’s these forums that help to guide us and make geocaching even greater than it would be otherwise.
What the rest of the geocaching world might be doing is interesting, but it does not mean I (or we) have to do it that way.For the record, I would not have found ANY event caches without my GPSr. Especially the two times I tried to follow Trudy & The Beast.

Amazing the number of cachers flying through the caches. Congratulations!
I also found this to be a murky topic. I log for attending the event. Any other hides should be able to be logged on their own page, but geocaching.com has ruled that temp caches are not allowed a page. I wish there was a better system for temporary caches, but the powers that be have yet to display any interest….
maybe after they get the server capacity up high enough so it can handle the present load……. but thats another topic.
No need to apologize- you have learned more during those first 50 than you will in your next 100. Congratulations!!
We found 100 today!!!
Wow, I have found a lot of caches in one day, but never 100! Congratulations!

Hi Steve,
What exactly is is you are trying to do? A gpx file can be opened in USAPhotomaps without any conversion.In GSAK, once you open the gpx file, you can go to “file” and then “export” where you will see a drop down list of every file type I have ever needed.
GSAK will also arrange waypoint listing order in about every imaginable way. Want to know what caches are the oldest? No problem. How about what caches have not been found in the longest time? It’s a click of a button. It also makes it easy to pick a central point to start a days caching, and list all caches in order of distance from your start point. Filter out certain caches based off type, difficulty, owner, etc, etc, etc.
The only thing I don’t like about it is it doesn’t use all the Garmin images for cache type representation. I think it will in an upcoming version though.

Dave, Thanks for shareing this. The brochure is great. Now we need to find a resource to get them printed in quantity at a reasonable price.
I agree- maybe someone among us has a printing “hook-up”? I’m having 30 made up for a presentation i’m doing next week and I about fell over when quoted a price of $1.75 a piece. Thats OfficeMax price for a 2-sided color copy.

I used to print too. It’s just too hard when on a roadtrip to have printouts for all the caches you may come near. Now I can have 500 up-to-date cache pages in my pocket and find the one I want in just seconds. The PDA also will decrypt hints on the fly and make the last few logs handy. Also is great for writing notes about caches and the calculator functions come in handy on those caches that require math.
I’ll never go back to killing trees.
