Bumping this…
I discovered by accident that if you choose the “download to GPX” option from the cache page itself, it brings back about 20 logs into GSAK. Don’t know why, and it’s not real practical for large groups, but just FYI.
Related to this–is there a way to reverse-bookmark from GSAK? So that if I have a set of caches in a database, I can easily make a bookmark list out of them?
On the Left Side of the Road...Sorry kmhiker, I bet you didn’t know what you were getting yourself into.
I was a bit confused about Marc’s response, and reconciling this with cheeto, so here’s what I think is the short story:
1. You cannot actually log a temporary cache because the cache does not exist on gc.com. That is, it does not have a GC number.
2. The practice used to be allowed by the WGA to log multiple “attended” logs on an event (like the campout). In this way, your smilely count would go up for temporary caches you found at the event even though there was not a way to individually log these caches. HOWEVER, the WGA board decided to disallow this practice at WGA events.
3. Because one side of this issue believes in the ability to log temp caches at an event, they have found ways around the inability to log temp caches. One such way is by Uncle_Fun’s cache GC1CH0W. If you feel like it, you can use this cache to log your temp finds by multi-logging this cache.
So the short version is, you CANNOT actually log a temp cache, because they do not exist on geocaching.com. However, you CAN make your smilely count go up if you choose to.

And they allow finds on it after being archived. You’d think they would unarchive it. What’s the point of it being archived?
It’s so they don’t have to police logs from people. By being archived it doesn’t show up on searches. This way you have to be an “insider” and ask for an “invitation” (coordinates).
Of course, requring people to ask you for coordinates is another violation of groundspeak rules.
I wonder if you can find this one by address without a GPS? I heard once that a GPS has to be “integral to the hunt.”
On the Left Side of the Road...Congratulations! What’s next?

What’s wrong with long names? Most become unreadable when displayed on Palm and GPS units.
I like series, but get frustrated with trying to figure out which cache I might be looking at.
For older units, there is a limit of 6 or 8 digits. This results in entries such as….
buerga – for Buerger Trail – South View
buergt – for Buerger Trail – Tall StumpGC1T1M9 – “Another Puzzle”
GC1T1M7 – “Another Puzzle”
GC1T1M8 – “Another Puzzle”
GC1T1MA – “Another Puzzle”😯 😕
So I guess my idea of putting out a dozen caches called “Cache” just to annoy Marc doesn’t have much of a point any more 😈
On the Left Side of the Road...Most importantly
Most unique

On the Left Side of the Road...Whoops! Looks like it got disabled now. Just a month to wait until the force archiving. Must have lost that email password again.
So in the case of “better late than never,” another case of the latter.
On the Left Side of the Road...No no no, I’m sure it will be fixed now that there is a “needs maintenance” attribute on it.

that one instance is an irritation. he is a pet peeve. trust me.
NOW back to your regularly scheduled pet peeve thread..
To quote Ron White, “You can’t fix stupid.”
On the Left Side of the Road...I must report that lawn mowing is the pet peeve of our resident kildeer family. Every time I turned the corner with the John Deere there she was doing her “wounded bird” thing. Won’t he ever go away, she asks?
Well eventually she determined that whilst I was large, smelly, and noisy I did in fact pose no imminent threat to the nest, so she decided to stay put.
I knew that macro-zoom lens would come in handy someday…

Someday when I run the universe I am going to implement “Cosmic Karma.” This is my philosophy that any trash that someone throws outside their car window automatically teleports itself to the middle of their living room.

Congrats on all the high scores and topping out over 400 points for May. Those of us who’ve posted numbers in that range know exactly what it takes to get there… a lot!
It’s been a challenge with our “no revisit” philosophy! Not that there’s anything wrong with it, we just prefer seeing new places.
On the Left Side of the Road...Yes, I have that one, and it is Julianna’s favorite. It will make an appearance at Camelot-e-que on Saturday
