    Have you thought of making the GPS files available online the morning of the event so some people can skip that part when they get there?

    I too prefer the bigger containers, but I’ve discovered that the micro in the guardrail can be nice when you’re out biking around an area. They give a good excuse to take a short break when traveling between the larger ones.

    I have a Utah geocoin that wants to visit all 50… wait, nevermind. 🙂

    Location and date would probably be the biggest factors for who goes.

    This is a good article on poison ivy and the differences between it and other similar plants:

    That article was pretty interesting. Has anyone tried the immunity by eating it?

    This is my favorite log.

    Sorry I couldn’t help myself. 😆

    That is quite a nice log.

    in reply to: Cookie cutter copy and paste logs #1876737

    Both of my caches are just meant to show people locations they probably haven’t stopped at before. As long as new people are finding them, I don’t care what they log, although it is nice reading new things. What interests me more in logs is looking back when I find another cache and seeing what other people experienced in the exact same location at some other time. That and knowing what’s happened to items in the cache is interesting.

    The history is especially interesting to me when it’s for an archived cache that I was standing on top of before I knew what they were. In fact, I’ve seen references to muggles that were probably my group. Cookie cutter logs don’t allow that.

    Being new to this, I haven’t yet done more than 10 in a day so I haven’t had a need to use the cookie cutter method of logging. Usually I take a notebook and write down the name and a few words to turn into a log later.

    And in reference to lee42048’s comment about feeling the need to read each duplicate log in case there’s a change, I fear that day and hope the logs are short.

    in reply to: Poll: How do you use hints? #1874535

    By the time I get to where I’m going to search, I’ve forgotten everything but the name. Once there, I start with the coordinates. After a few minutes I look at what size cache I’m trying to find, then reread the description, then if still nothing I use the hint, then logs.

    One time I had hints for two caches written on the same paper. I accidently read “rocky road” for the wrong cache. Turned out each one was under a piece of old road in rocks.
