There’s nothing better than finding a cache that hasn’t been found in a year or more…wow! It’s still there!
Well I guess there are a few things better but this is a family game… 😳

On the Left Side of the Road...Was out running in it…very nice!
I love global warming! Hmmm…no warming in the past 11 years…earliest measurable snow…we best change that nomenclature to “climate change” before anyone notices!

Just commenting to Marc’s puzzlement at the number of players. My point is it’s fun to play regardless of what the “score” is, just like it’s fun to cache regardless of how many you find (versus others).

With the scores being so lopsided I’m surprised so many participate.
Probably because it’s more for fun than anything. After all why start geocaching at all when three teams in Wisconsin are over 10,000 finds and one is coming up on 20,000. Just like stats in general, LCG numbers mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Plus, if history is any teacher here, it’s that nobody is truly “out of contention” such as it is, in any month or, for that matter, even over a larger period, should they wish to give it the ol’ college try.
On the Left Side of the Road...Oooh looky, a new scoreboard! 8)

I don’t have one but this should take care of your problem.
A focused beam maglite works better than this. We’ve had them side by side in the field.
On the Left Side of the Road...I highly recommend a maglite with a tightly focused beam. I have a 3 billion candlepower flood light but it doesn’t do a great job with the tacks. In contrast the focused beam will pick up reflectors much better, especially the “invisible in daytime” red/brown tacks.
Also, hold the beam at eye level for best detection.

I got sick of answering my own posts.
But I thought you loved to hear yourself talk? 😆
On the Left Side of the Road...It’s not. It’s just the only viable one, or at least the most popular. Terracaching is the second most I believe. Somewhere in the mix is Bob’s Big Bulletin Board o’ Caches (http://cachinbob.proboards.com/index.cgi). Beyond that I’m not sure.

I for one am happy there is only 1 place to go, I looked at letterboxing and all the sites and lost interest quickly because there were multiple sites.
There are really only two sites and they’re not that hard to manage. There’s also significant listing overlap. Really the only hassle is trying to log your finds to make searches easier–you have to log on both. Letterboxers (well, most anyway) aren’t as hung up on numbers as your average geocacher so it’s a non-issue. But it’s not for everyone.

Well, it looked like it had horns…
On the Left Side of the Road...They stay active with the hunting attribute and a note on the cache page, in the short description, to watch for hunting with links to the DNR page. I disabled them one year but won’t do so again. It’s public land and finders should take the time to figure things out before they go and decide what is the best time. If you’re just waypoint caching and don’t take the time to figure anything out, well it’s not my fault you’re lazy.

as for thinking that all cache owners read the logs from all their caches, i don’t believe it. otherwise why are there so many caches with multiple dnfs that it seems no one is checking on.
This is true (about owners not reading logs) and NM is legit in that case. Actually if the owner is unresponsive and there is a problem it should be a SBA in order to elevate the case to a reviewer more quickly.
But this thread is about needless needs maintenance logs, particularly when cachers simply can’t find the cache, or is supposely “missing” a pencil. Heck, I’ve seen a NM log posted because the pencil needed to be sharpened.
That kind of stuff renders the whole system pointless and slows down action on legitimate problems that you reference.
