Thanks for the clarification on what GC.Com plans to do.
Besides GC .. you can NOT use TB, WP and WM .. that much I knew.
Also, I see the high value to the approvers and the owners of caches … just not for sharing with other cachers (or at least it’s not being used much that way).
I must be getting old … I don’t even feel like getting in on this one 😥
I’m assuming your ALSO saying that the coin is NOT showing as being in the cache you found it in.
If that’s the case, then the likelyhood that the coin was never activated by the original dropper is very likely. Which means you’d need to get the activation code, from GroundSpeak.
IF you’d like further help … contact me directly with the code number on the coin … I’ll verify your efforts in trying digit combinations and contact GroundSpeak for you.
Welcome aboard!
We’re here for ‘ya if you have questions …
– What to look for an a GPSr (but tell us your budget and if you want maps)
– Questions about caching
– etc, etcYou’re in luck too .. you have some first class cachers in your area … and I’m NOT biased, cause I do NOT live there.
I said that? … I don’t remember saying that … but it sounds good to me … wow, I’m amazing.
Maybe I should try another one … let’s see … hmmmmmm ….
“It’s not finding the cache that matters, but friends you make or family you enrich along the way. That and what you’ve avoided stepping into.” – EnergySaver
look for someone else with a GPSr … that tends to give it away … unless they’re like me and try to make believe it’s a camera 🙄
I’ve meet tons of cachers, but mostly at events.
For some reason we rarely run into other cachers out in the woods (maybe one or twice in the last couple years) … but many times we find out later we just missed them by an hour or so … a few weekends back my family, Auntie Nae and Bushwhacking Queen all went to the same caches in the Thiensville/Cedarburg area, all just missing each other by a short period of time at each cache.
I can’t speak for everyone else … but I’ll let you in .. but only if you promise to find all of my caches (centered on 53074) within the next year 😆
Ekkkkkkkkkkk! … No lawnmower blogs 😆
Don’t let us scare you … we love to pick things apart (ok, at least I do, Sept. is always a slow month at work) 🙄 plus I’m on my 4th day of Sudafed 😳
Good plan … yes, if you want to follow the travels of a specific TB, this would help you create a list.
Another option for you … click on the “Watch this Travel Bug” option (also in the upper-right corner of any TB’s page) … the advantage is that you’ll get an email everytime a specific TB moves … assuming you consider that an advantage.
On a side note: sometimes it’s fun to watch a TB that is traveling in another country … my daughter has a TB that’s in Germany and it’s fun to attempt to read the comments that are written in German. As an example: 2/4/2006 entry is fun … http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=89978 … it roughly translates to “Is it a small bee or a wasp? We will take the small thing to with us to where it is warm. Only time will tell where it will be next.”
Good question … that “discovered” choice is somewhat new … pending someone correcting me, I *THINK* the purpose is to log you saw the travel bug without taking it … I suspect the choice was added for events, where coins tend to get passed around, to avoid people logging “grab” entries out of the hands of other people, which can be a problem when someone has physically dropped a TB in another cache but others keep “grabbing” it out electronically because they happened to jot down the code number.
So I guess, in theory, you could use “discovered” everytime you see a travel bug in a cache … but in my opinion, your just create a lot of extra effort on your part … but that’s up to you.
Tie, regarding the “stay” vs. “go” … my opinion:
Leave it, unless the blog starts straying off subject.Right now it just seems like the TITLE of the blog is
geocaching related. There’s not meat to the thing
at all, unless you want to know the life history of the authors.I kinda assumed they sprayed it out to the whole geo-world.
Nothing harmeful there and not selling anything … just seems like they want to share their family history (in my opinion way to much info to give out to the public via the Internet) and attract others to blog with them.
Again, the curious thing to me is that they are so excited about starting a geocaching-themed blog, when they’ve got only 2 weeks and 3 caches under their belts. I’m thinking the first time they cut their lawn, they started a lawnmower blog too.
This hit me as a bit odd too. Looks like they’ve been signed up on the GC for just a couple weeks … yet they seem to have this need to setup a blog … yet they have not bothered to log any finds on their GC account, yet their family website shows a picture of them caching. Not doing us any harm, seem like a nice family from all the info on their blog … yet they’re not even in Wisconsin. I think I’ve identified a multiple “YET” sighting here!
The oddest is thing is that their blog page has a fake GC stats box, showing that they have 3 finds … it would appear to be a created graphic “by hand”, rather than a real GC stats box. There’s no geocacher out there with the name they show on the stats box … and again, their real GC account shows no finds. Yet another yet.
Feel free to use NMH … but don’t confuse it with NiMH, which is Nickel Metal Hydride (aka one flavor of rechargable batteries) … aka means also known as.
I agree with the interferance signal that a GPSr can put out, being a concern. I have not flown in years … do they make you turn off cell phones on a flight? …. I would imagine they’d be an issue to … and what about laptops.
I’m going to guess that CRJ is Commercial Jet.
And FIL would appear to be a person rather than a destination or thing … like Flight-something-something person.P.S. …. I made up NMH … Nod My Head
Should we tell her that it’s a GPSr not a GPS?
