Where else are you gonna go if the site’s down? Terracaching? 🙄 And when it comes back up we’re all so happy.
This is what happens when you have an effective monopoly. There is no incentive to improve anything. Why would they? To get more advertisers? I doubt it.
On the Left Side of the Road...I would absolutely accept it (and not just because we have a 550 also). The photo clearly includes the GPS–it’s the screen itself.
True, someone could do photo manipulation, but they could do that regardless of what GPS they use. That takes effort, which is something that Lazy Loggers don’t put forth in the first place, plus a modicum of intelligence which they also don’t seem to have, so I don’t see it being much of a risk.

You also forget the other end, NONE. That’s how many I intend to find. I have a hard enough time being social with 5 people, much less 500. Doesn’t sound like my idea of a good time, but that’s just me. Put me down for none, in any case.
Ditto.

I say, what a bunch of crap. I have to pay for yet another program that I am unable to take advantage of.
What do you mean? It’s “from the government,” so it’s “free,” right? And when they run out of money they just print more. 😡

They ought to expand this to GPSrs. If you have a GPS that can’t display more than 6 characters in the cache ID name or doesn’t have a color screen you get $75 to upgrade your clunker. If you have a Lowrance you get $100 automatically.
Oh…I like that idea! Does that mean I’d get $175 for my Lowrance H2O 😀 😀 😀
No, if you have a H20 you have to pay them to dispose of it. Or just wait long enough and it will self-destruct.

All I could think of, isn’t the 100s or 1000s already placed enough???
I’m guessing ❓ they want some on scout property.
I haven’t heard back from them and I’ve found them to be rather slow moving so I never may.
On the Left Side of the Road...Christmas came early… 😀
I thought we’d try to sell the 400t but I think we’ll keep his and hers Oregons instead. 8)

On the Left Side of the Road...200 is about 100 more than I thought we’d ever have. I agree with all the points about containers mentioned above. Good containers and careful placmements are the key to few maintenance problems.
We still enjoy putting out caches but any new ones we are putting out are done so with the intent to adopt them out to cachers who have few or no hides so that they can experience the joy of ownership…

Last night, when I finally got back to the review queue, I found 79 caches waiting. YIKES!
THANKS x 1,000,000!

I knew I enjoyed hiking as a kid, but never could get my wife to see the merits of walking 5 miles only to end up right where you started.
This is us. We like the outdoors just fine but it was always something we “should” do rather than something we “wanted to” do. Geocaching provided that reason–an objective–for the family, plus for me added the high-tech factor that I’ve been into since I was a kid but now can finally afford. 😀
For us, caching is all about getting out and experiencing something new or overcoming a challeging terrain. It’s what we stress to bewildered people who ask us about the game. Let’s face it, if you talk about finding a film can in a guard rail…it sounds pretty dumb. Talk about hiking to some little-known hideway that another geocacher was nice enough to share so that you can “sign the visitor log,” that makes more sense to John Q. Public.
Our kids have learned so much and nearly every time we go out we get a “remember when?” story. It’s why you won’t see us do numbers runs or why we’ll drive by P&R caches (unless they’re lonely 😈 ) because when I poll the car, nobody wants to stop for them–it’s not the quality vs. quantity argument, it’s just that out of the four cachers in our household, 1/2 of them never go on gc.com and wouldn’t know what our find count is if you asked them. Another 1/4 only looks online when I mention it.
So for us, geocaching really is “Out There,” not “In Here.”

On the Left Side of the Road...Actually, reading that cache page again, I don’t see why it wouldn’t qualify under the new guidelines. The central challenge is geocaching related–find a bunch of caches.
The logging requirements to verify that the challenge has been completed are very specific in this cache, but not disallowed within this classification.
