Most people involved in a geocacher rescue: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=0ab05bcc-d91c-4644-b368-c529d02b9af0&IID=bb8236d0-ae95-48fb-aa20-dbcb0e09a492

I said “guidelines,” not “restrictions.” The difference might not be clear, so let me explain. As it was stated, different geocachers have different abilities to maintain a few or a lot of caches, depending on their zeal and the amount of free time they have. I’m suggesting that each owner think carefully before shotgun-placing a multitude of new caches in one fell swoop. Ask yourself: Do I have the time and resources to keep all these caches in good maintenance? Even if your answer at the time is “yes,” what’s the harm of pacing yourself — taking things slowly to ensure quality of the location rather than quantity for sake of “having new caches out there.” Over the years, I have seen geocachers come and go and many of those no longer active left behind containers that were abandonded in the woods or adopted by others.
It seems kind of hypocritical that people get all giddy over seeing Geocaching in the news, broadcast on television, and generally becoming more exposed everywhere, and then upset when the growth begins to become a burden.
I agree that would be hypocritical, CB, but I don’t believe the same people are in both camps. Personally, I don’t believe geocaching needs more publicity. I too liked it better when we were “under the radar.” But that’s no longer the state of geocaching. The old days were fun, but they’re gone. We have to adapt to today’s reality and work to ensure the future for geocaching.
I think there should be a self-imposed guideline that geocachers should only post one new cache per week. I know some will disagree, but come on folks, how many caches can you reasonably manage as the owner?
Neat site. I plotted a couple of my regular running routes to see if the distance is what I estimated it to be. Thanks for the link.

It’s going to be a big undertaking to meet some of these new cachers out there. There are so many of them popping up. Looks like some will be here to stay, based on their numerous logs.
That’s something I could say about everyone else.
But I won’t.
I’ve noticed that our postings usually don’t appear in the WGA “recent logs” list for some reason. And yes, I wait more than 15 minutes after posting; even going back to check an hour or two later. I will see logs that are older and newer than ours.

No spelling criticsm allowed in forum postings. However, web site text — that’s a different story.

Yah, me too.
Pretty cool that they provide a link to the WGA site. Here’s the Fox 6 page: http://www.fox6milwaukee.com/
In the left column, click on Weather, then click on Caching with Condella.[This message has been edited by kbraband (edited 04-05-2006).]
To be just a little more helpful , here’s the site where I learned how to go paperless. It’s for Plucker and Spinner (not GSAK and Cachemate) but at least it gives you a how-to to get you started.

I had problems last night after 9:30, but no problems earlier this morning.
I don’t know if it’s being done in Wisconsin for hiking trails, but one geocacher (mtnbike) has a good tutorial on how to create nice trail maps for mountain biking. I’m sure the same process could be applied to hiking trails. Read more here: http://www.wavelengthstudios.com/mtnbike/gpsmapstutorial/index.htm

Have we started yet? If so, capitalize the “E” in “English.”

I don’t even know Julie but I like her already.
