  • in reply to: Wolf River underwater cam #1904939

    So how can we drop a cache in front of the cam? Now that would be a cool mystery cache…

    If you want to wait just a bit LG, we probably should go back out there and fix the cache container. Looking back at the logs and photos, we definitely forgot to put a geocaching sticker on the outside of the container when we replaced it, and the container looks suspciously like a pipe bomb. And I know for a fact it is made out of a PVC tube! You never know when someone might think that poor ol’ s|s might be looking to be doing some redneck-fishing in the middle of lake Winnebago.

    It doesn’t even have to be GPS routing…”up nort” there are many “roads”–with official green street signs and everything–that become snowmo trails in winter.

    The problem with these series caches it that as soon as one goes MIA, you can find yourself floundering for the final or bonus….I tried to get around this by making the criteria for the Laughing Waters series final “You must log every cache in the series before you can find the final”.

    Yes; we have changed all the bonus caches for our challenges–offhand I think we have four–to ALRs. Solves all the most common, non-maintenance-related problems.

    Well, I have neither the time, inclination, nor motivation to search through your profile to see if there are series caches that you’ve been finding

    I just happened to recall this particular cache, because we very much enjoyed doing the caches in this challenge series of yours that still remained (and had wished the bonus “challenge” cache were still active). In fact, we “borrowed” one of your archived spots as a bit of a tribute, making it part of our own “Pulaski Series” challenge, since one of your Solar System challenge caches was the first cache we found as a family team.

    In my mind, “challenge” is synonymous with “series” or “6 pack” or whatever, and there are lots of people placing and finding these types of caches. The difference, as I said, is only in the degree of difficulty.

    Sorry, but I see no constructive purpose for them.

    Here’s another challenge cache that you own(ed): GCMDMC

    Every challenge I can think of is basically a “6 pack” of some sort…find a number of underlying caches before you can log the bonus/challenge cache. The only difference among them is in the degree of difficulty or number of caches required.

    Not from me. I don’t care if you lead puzzle tours of your own caches. In fact I think it’s a slendiforous idea.

    Congratulations! And thanks for the caches you have placed, particularly the half-dozen letterboxes, which we are planning to make a trip to find (someday! 😆 )

    What did the cache owner say when you contacted them with questions on the puzzle?

    thanks to our great reviewers for reviewing that many.

    And thanks to the many placers who have taken the time and effort (and expense) to give back to the geocaching community.

    No thumbs-up emoticon, so: 8)

    in reply to: Sound on a cache listing page #1904641

    You can’t embed the sound so that it automatically plays.

    You can include a link to a .wav file, but you must host the file elsewhere either on your own web server or a file-sharing site.

    Then you include a link to the file, along with the required GC verbiage that says if the users’ computer blows up after playing the file, it’s not their fault.
