Auditing archived caches? Are you kidding me. I’m solving puzzles. That’s what you want us to do, right? You wouldn’t believe the things you can learn when you’re trying to find out “Where’s Dave?” and “Where’s Dave now?” I get so confused.

And trying to pass off your statements as sarcasm? Now that’s reaching for straws.

Some people are contentious are others pretentious. And some, both.

We can’t let another trophy be named after VG. I’ve never done fantasy baseball, but at least if furry and cheesy are in, I should be able to stay out of last place. 😆

If you post a “found it” on a puzzle and realize that in your haste to hurry on to the next group puzzle solve skip, group signed log book………. you didn’t.

You must be referring to someone else, as I don’t recall posting a found it for a cache I didn’t find. I’d be glad to delete the log if you find something to the contrary. Let me know.

I see 16 images in your gallery dated between 2/6/07 and 1/20/09. I cannot view the 1/20/09 image. It says:

Attention!You cannot see logs for unpublished listings.

Cheesedoodle – Why is it in your gallery? If you don’t want it there, don’t put it there.

@Team Deejay wrote:

You don’t actually need to host it anywhere.

So if it’s not in your gallery and not hosted anywhere, it should at least be on your hard drive, right? And if that’s true, then follow Deejays other advice.

Just create the reviewer note and submit it, then on the cache page, click the “upload a photo for this log” link and upload the file to the log.

Maybe its me that don’t be gettin’ any of this???

I generally explain that there’s an internet site that lists interesting places to see and that this cemetery was on the list.

And now thanks to the GPS I’m mapping the gravesites of family members for historical purposes.

2 excellent suggestions. Thanks.

A lot of interesting logs below and a lot of no solves on the puzzle portion. I wouldn’t delete a single log. I think they all deserve a smiley. 😀

That puzzle was something I might have solved when I was back in college, but my ticker isn’t like it use to be. My son-in-law was over the other day and he saw that I had this cache page up on the screen. And just lie that, lickedy split. He had some coordinates for me. I had a little time before bingo, so the girls and I had the bus driver pull over. Ester said she had to tinkle. While she went about her business, Sally and I went around back and started searching. My glasses fell off and I felt something pull as I reached down to grab them. Oh my darn hip is giving me grief again. In all the commotion, I look up and Sally is smiling at me. Not only did I have to have the puzzle solved for me, but Sally who doesn’t geocache made the find. What an adventure.

This is great. My brother is home from MIT. Yesterday I went caching with my dad and brother and I found my first regular type cache. After that, we tried a multi and I thought it was rad to get two different icons. I wanted to see if I could find a puzzle cache and get that icon as well. So when I searched, the closest one I could find was this cache about calculusus or something. The next closest puzzle was like 30 miles away. I hate math. Polymonials and trapazoodals are crazy. When will I be using that junk. I gave it to my brother and the beautiful numbers poured out like a golden waterfall from my Monster can. So off we go and I find this thing in the first place I look. I can’t wait to hit submit and see the new icon. Where’s the closest camera cache?

2/17/10 Darryl_WI (2068 finds)
My brother Darryl called and asked if I wanted to join him on a trip to Appleton and spear some Sturgeon. I said sure. That puzzle was his thing. Looked greek to me. He’s the smart one. And he has more finds than me. Easy find.

2/17/10 Darryl_MN (2069 finds)
That puzzle was one piece of the cake. I do calculus in my sleep. I called my bro and asked him to get the spears all sharpened up. I said don’t bother solving the puzzle cache that’s down der by dat boat landin’, I got it all figured out. So we get dare and I can’t believes my eyes. The durn lake be frozen all over, it is. So we dun founded the cache and hetted home.

Thank You

I was out with my good friend Ken and we had a great time. He’s never had the ability to solve the simple puzzles let alone some calculus. So I assured him I’d get it done and we walked over there together to find it. What a great kid. Thanks for putting out this cache for Ken and I.

2/17/10 SassySeductiveSamantha (24 finds)
YEAH. My first FTF. I didn’t even know a new cache popped up. My computer is in the shop. Too much tweeting I guess. Thanks for picking me up Randy. I owe you one.

2/17/09 RandyRippedPants (244 finds)
I saw this one pop up and had it solved in no time. I knew if I could get SSS an FTF, I would be certain to get the best swag on earth. TFTC

I don’t solve puzzles, I find caches. I knew exactly where this one was. Puzzle was bogus. Full of mistakes. Did I tell you I don’t solve puzzles. Found this laying out in the open. Ok, maybe I did solve it???

2/17/10 BobFromAccountTemps
I’m really good with numbers, but squiggly things, no way. I wrote down AB.CDE FG.HIJ on it and faxed this thing over to BobbyTheBrain. He said he solved this thing a while ago but threw the sheet away. He had his GPS and found the open treasure chest. He gave me a big assist. Thanks for the help Bobby and thanks for this challenging cache.

Chastising someone for asking help from a fellow cacher without conferring with the owner?

I think this comes from a comment I made and may have been partly misinterpreted?

CJ – I admit that our conversation was part of, but certainly not the only thing that shaped my opinion. I’m not about to name names, but if they want to open up and put their 2 cents in, all the better. I’ve chatted at many events, emailed many geocachers, watched the forums and read tons of logs. I was NOT singling you out. This is about more than one cacher or one owner.

@CodeJunkie wrote:

I was a newbie cacher working on a S|S cache and being ignorant I asked the prior finder for help (it made sense to me because they touched it last).

Exactly my point. Who says you were ignorant? That may be your opinion as well as some others, but I think it’s a completely acceptable thing to do without disrespecting the CO.

@CodeJunkie wrote:

I got a rather terse (or similar) email

Why does it have to come to this? Especially for someone new. You may have a strong backbone and be able to take some criticism, but not everyone would take that the same way. I think some would leave or play the game differently with no respect to the CO at all.

@CodeJunkie wrote:

I’m a better cacher because of it.

I seriously hope you meant better informed. As far as I know there are no classes of cachers, although a lot of people like to categorize others and this is ultimately what a lot of disagreements are about. You have a good relationship with many CO’s and that’s a great thing. That’s what I think most people would want. I know I do.

@CodeJunkie wrote:

I’m a believer in following the intent (whether it’s truly a requirement anymore or not).

That’s great that’s how you want to do this series and that it gives you satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. But do you feel others must follow the intent? And if not, are you a better, or are they a less worthy, cacher than yourself? If your answer is no to both questions, then we agree.

@CodeJunkie wrote:

there are some great puzzles out there and I encourage everyone to try a few. You’ll be amazed at what you learn and how much fun they can be. Believe it or not, they do actually want you to find their caches.
I publicly thank seldom|seen, marc_54140, -cheeto-, gotta run, sagasu, cheesehead and all the other great puzzle creators out there

I agree completely. Did you see me sneak cheeseball in there? 🙂

Shane,

The only thing I was implying came from a later sentence.

Chastising someone for asking help from a fellow cacher without conferring with the owner?

This I would hope is something than no one thinks is acceptable. Maybe explain to the person that it would be appreciated if they contact the owner before asking someone else. But a blunt, in your face, response to someone new to the game is ridiculous. And why does someone HAVE to confer with the owner if they’re more comfortable asking a friend that may have got them involved in the first place? I don’t see this as a cacher disrespecting the owner. I see it as someone trying to enjoy the game on their terms.

In regards to explaining geocaching to someone new to the game, I certainly would give both sides to the puzzle cache & temp cache opinions. But I would stress that it is completely up to them to decide how they want to play the game. Don’t let anyone tell you want you can and can’t do.
