Tell Kevin to call me with the details I think I can help. But I’ll pass on the hug. Give Greyhounder two 😀

I agree that a checker is up to you, if you want it fine if you dont also fine. I ordinarily do not use one until there is a first to find, which has caused a few of my puzzles to go a week or more without being found.
One other one to note is that some people will still email you asking for verification with coords. I asked two of the gents who have asked me to verify and both complain that have difficulty reading the “code” words (the ones to see if you are human or note) and cant use the checkers

Sorry to see it go..IT was one of the first geocaching sites I found and was always one of my favorites.

Dave mentions better solutions in his Groundspeak comments, INATN was often imitated but never duplicated. I am still to find a better solution

Thanks for the great site while it was there

Thanks all-Geosphere look like what I am looking for

We re not going this year

[kansas64]

Our worst is actually pretty easy one for us..We meet up with a group that was us, Froggerz & one Team Vaughan member, back in April 09. The goal was to take down the Return to Oz Version 2 by Goldie. The day started out ok with a small amount of fluffy white snow, no biggie. When we go Oz done we separated as the Team Vaughan member had to go and Froggerz and us headed for Indian Trail by Ranger Boy.
If you don’t know this cache it is a monster and you could touch as many as 20 waypoints as he has a few dead ends in the story. The snow started to pick up but after a bit the temperature did also and the snow changed to a light drizzle and would start to get heavier.
Along the way we had one cacher slip and fall, he got a nerve stinger and couldn’t feel his hand for the next 3 days. One of our group seems to have an aversion to thunder, you guessed here we are in the woods and we get not just thunder but rolling thunder. Lets just say it unnerved the cacher a bit.
We finally after almost 3 hours said enough and grabbed one last one point as it was on the way to our cars. Mr Froggerz was the driest as he had on firehose pants, the rest of us we in best describes as drowned rats that we drowned several times. The Mrs and I get in our car and the windows steam up, my glasses stem up and we have to wait about 10 minutes for the defroster to cache up. How wet were we, there was not a speck of dry clothing anywhere and our bodies
Froggerz would be back about 1 month later to finish and us about 6 months later. Mr. Greenthumbs called us caching nuts because we tried doing two large caches on what we said was the worst weather of the year.
Truly we will never forget Indian Trail

I always thought it was Birdin

It seems “Be Prepared” is part of the motto. I guess having a flashlight would be covered under that part of the motto

In South Carolina a member of the legislator there had this problem occur with the grave site of a loved one. When they discovered the theft they also discovered that there was a Geocache nearby (dont know if somebody was hunting it or they somehow found it). The member of the legislator overreacted and in the next session introduced a bill that made cemetery caches illegal in South Carolina, which passed.

I think this is a perfect example of why we need to be very respectful when searching these areas (and I am sure 99.9% of us are). But like the DOT getting a banning Wayside and Rest Area caches we would hate to see this occur with WSQs

[kansas64]

tempting-of course I can just deflate my kayak. Makes it a little easier

[kansas64]

I can honestly say I have only found two cemetery caches that were in done in bad taste, and one of them wasnt even in Wisconsin. I honestly think most cachers are trying to get you to see something different than what we ordinarily see in the field.
I have seen monuments dedicates to civic leaders, Petrified Tree Stump headstones, survivors of the Titanic and many great monuments to those who served our country.
I have done the WSQ that my grand parents are, and want to get back to a WSQ out of my area as it is the only headstone with my full name on it (spooky)

Many cachers dont like nanos in the woods so they dont do them, maybe you should consider their example

[kansas64]

My wife’s first FTF was a rock pile that many more experienced cachers missed, for some reason she walks up to the right spot every time. As for pine trees they make her break out but she seems to have a knack there also.
But I think like a fair amount of cachers we just do them regardless to what they are, micro in the woods, ok, guardrail, ok, ammo can hidden off a walking path, get those too.
