If you are the cache owner, you can click onto the TB page. In the upper right “Travel Bug Options” box, there will be an option in the pull down menu for “mark bug as missing”. Only the cache owner and TB owner will get this option.

So what this seems to be boiling down to is:

1. Get the coords for every step.

2. Bounce the idea off the approvers before actually submitting the cache (in other words, email them the details). Either one of them would probably tell you that it’s either OK as it is, or will tell you what needs to be changed.

I have a multi where the steps are less than .1 miles apart, but of course they are both more than .1 miles from any other cache.

I believe the reviewers will want to see the coords to every step, even if a GPSr isn’t used to find it by the cacher. So include them in your reviewer’s note too.

Sounds like fun!

Many of my favorite logs are from Genius Loci.

Rolly-Poly Fish Heads

Circle of Friendship (OK, not actually my cache)

Tick Terror (not mine either, but still hilarious)

My favorite jthorson log:

Did our West Bend run yesterday to avoid the thunderstorms. Cached all afternoon until dark and left plenty to do on another trip.

We know what mushrooms you are talking about now! One of them was getting moldy though.

Fortunately, no problems with neighbors.

Yes, I told people at Groundspeak who were inquiring about coins that they were not yet even minted yet, but they are getting antsy. I also mentioned that I was sure something would be posted on the Groundspeak forums, but I continue to get people emailing me ordering coins. My suggestion was to keep an eye on this forum to see how things are progressing.

Geocoin people can be very antsy. I should know.

I posted on the regional forum telling people to wait for the announcement. It will come….

Thanks for the extra info! I have many ecoranger caches on my to-do list for this weekend.

Still keeping my fingers crossed weather-wise. (Sorry but I hate caching in the rain. Don’t mind the rain itself, but the kids get ornery and it’s hard to keep things dry).

Mt. Horeb – land of trolls! Spent some time there this summer while camping in Blue Mound. Glad to see you’re planning on going to some events – that’s the best way to make caching friends!

Thanks for all the info! Now they’re talking rain for the weekend. Hope they’re wrong.

You all mention Cherrywood, but I was wondering about Jansen as well. Is there access there too?

Great minds think alike! I’m dragging the kids up to do a caching run in West Bend on Sunday too! Definitely wanted to hit Super Sized, then were going to do a bunch more of the kid-friendly ones. Maybe we’ll meet up?

Looks like many of these could impact someone’s geocaching hobby, except maybe this one:

However, there was nothing on the list about people who fear marriage. It’s gotta exist!

That made that cache even more special and I cherish the coin, which she indicated was mine to keep or pass along as I saw fit, as a reminder of the cache.

---

Wow! That’s nice!

I’ve sent out 2 geocoins. Both were accompanied by a tag that screamed in big red letters “DO NOT KEEP THIS COIN. Please move it from cache to cache.” If anybody winds up keeping it, they’re thieves and they can’t claim they didn’t know.

As per Stoughton: I’ve placed one bug – not a geocoin – there that disappeared, but that has happened occasionally other places too.

OK, you asked for it. The one phobia I have is claustrophobia. I’ll do anything to avoid getting into a crowded elevator! Fortunately, this doesn’t come up often while geocaching. I know caves could become an issue, but I actually like them as long as I have a light source and there’s no chance of me getting stuck or lost in it. And there’s no place for monsters or murderers to hide in it. And there can be no chance of flooding either. Then I’m just fine with it!
