Definitely fewer than “way back when.” Also the excitement of players around finding a traveler isn’t there–used to be people would dash to a cache, or revisit, if a traveler was in there.
From my point of view I won’t release any more because they are a waste of time and money. Most get lost or stolen.
On the Left Side of the Road...What do you mean we grow up? The highlight of my weekend caching was when I got to drive my old truck through mud puddles!
On the Left Side of the Road...FTF is an invisible stat anyway. If the owner signs the log just go ahead and put FTF in your own log if it makes you happy.

GC18GAA, wow that’s going out of your way. :LOL:
Ya, you’re just like my kids, I say it’s time for dinner, they say don’t you mean supper? I say you know what I meant you knucklehead.. 😛
Should be GC186AA. But a-course you couldn’t look at the cache now even if you wanted to, because it’s listed on a website called “geocaching” owned by some two bit organization called “groundspeak,” so the site is probably down or slowed to a dial-up-worthy crawl.

On the Left Side of the Road...The trip went very well; thanks to those who provided recommendations. Got a little mud on the tires and rolled over a few rocks and thru some ruts I wouldn’t have wanted to take the car through. I also remembered NOT to trust auto-navigation in the Nicolet National forest.
Favorites for the day are Peaceful Ridge, GC18GAA for making me glad I had the truck, Isaiah’s Booyah Cache GCX0PM despite the fact I lost my sunglasses and got wet feet, and GCW2ZR The Ridge for some amazing kettles that I avoided thanks to advice from HP2 (yes I do read old logs).
On the Left Side of the Road...Challenges are published anonymously as far as I can tell, and we’ve already seen the willingness of people to spoil difficult caches just to get a smilely for members of their cabal or because they do not like a particular CO. Doing this with challenges is not a stretch by any means.
On the Left Side of the Road...It depends on the cache. Some hides are there just to be a spot for the final. Others are there because the hide’s the thing.
I use the rescue mission rule. If I’d be willing to file a rescue mission for maintenance to replace the container, they can sign the log of what they put out. The rules say cachers need to sign the log and owners need to maintain caches, but are silent on the issue of owner maintenance by proxy.

I got a log recently, by a new cacher that was mad that the cache coords were off 10 feet and that they had to leave the parking lot to find it. :dry: :blink: :unsure: :wacko:
Brilliant….I woulda had fun posting an owner maintenance on that one…”we are now offering a cache shuttle on site and the cache location has been marked by a flashing beacon.”
On the Left Side of the Road...Here are some scenarios for challenges that don’t appear to be prohibited by the rules:
Go to these coordinates and look in this particular spot. The spot happens to be the final location of a puzzle cache.
Go to these coordinates and take a picture. The location is the final location of a mega-stage multicache.
Go to these coordinates and do a particular action. The action has the effect of revealing a particularly challenging hide.As far as I can tell none of those meet the reasons a cache could be flagged, yet I could see they would all be possible based on past behaviors and actions by cache vandals.
On the Left Side of the Road...Sorry, I didn’t realize I said that out loud….

When you click on to add a challenge, now there is a little blurb of instructional text that wasn’t there before:
What makes a good Challenge?

Like geocaching, Challenges should be . . .The nice part of the above statement, is that it makes the distinction between Challenges and Geocaching. => The two universes do not intersect. Venny Good……
That is very interesting….it didn’t say like geocaches…big difference.
On the Left Side of the Road...“Veni, vidi, sivi.”
On the Left Side of the Road...I do not list specific coordinates as a rule because I assume there are differences in devices.
On the Left Side of the Road...Nah, there’s NO way I could EVER get stuck now!
