I’m not a tech guy so I can’t speculate on your meltdown, but I have been using Netscape, Firefox, Mozilla and now Sea Monkey for nearly 10 years with nearly Zero issues I love the browser(s) and find it (them) very stable and secure.

The only issue I have ever had is the fact that every once and a while I will find a web-page that does not fully display on my browser as the code was not written to play nice with my browser. For the most part though I wouldn’t even know it wasn’t showing up correctly as the issues are normally small ones…that’s why I also run IE.

I’m sorry you have had trouble….computers suck.

That was the impression I got as well.

Very well done minutes.
Thanks.

Is this story legit?
WOW LOOK AT THOSE PAWS!

Howdy Passing Wind…that is quite the collection of Earthcaches you have there. I hope you stick around as there is lots we could learn from your travels…

I think this is a good discussion to have, but let’s all try to keep it civil and non-personal when and where we can.

No worries from me 😛 I respect all involved I just have different opinions.

I saw him play two weeks after his dad died and we got into the playoffs due to another teams loss….the game was nothing short of amazing.

…and a hearty Sup all to ya’ll.

I’m not a huge fan of this type of logging and I’m always disappointed when I see someone log one of my Puzzles when I know they did not solve it….but life goes on. I have never been given coords for a puzzle and have only asked for nudges when absolutely needed, but then again I don’t live in puzzle central where all I see are puzzles on my nearest cache list. I have a feeling that I may be tempted by the dark side if that were the case.

So while I hope no one will log my caches on a Tour, I’m sure this is bound to occur from time to time. At least the finder will benefit {from} a nice search for my cache…I intended the finder to have so much more but the truth is that some people are willing to settle for less.

I will not settle for less. I want the whole package. I choose to pass or fail on my own. If that means I give up on a puzzle because I can’t figure it out and I’m too stubborn to get help so be it. If that means I DNF a cache twice so be it…(I often throw it on my “Ignore” list after a third attempt). I play by my rules and I allow for a bit of latitude in the way others play….all I ask is that if someone logs a puzzle of mine they write more {than} TNLN TFTC especially if they took a short cut to get there.

This was a statement about the practice and this pertains to even small groups of two and three cachers not just this whole caravan concept. I applaud Marc for helping those who need and request it; he has obviously found a group of like minded cachers. I don’t agree with the practice but I don’t need to either.

-Thanks for posting the thread Marc.

🙄 Holy cow. 🙄
Drama drama drama.
ya know what lets just leave the forums the way they are and post information haphazardly and let information seekers find what they are looking for themselves..there is a nifty search feature; not as handy but it works …eventually.

How a simple and helpful suggestion has turned into this is beyond me.

First of all this is the website you need to visit for specifics:
http://www.earthcache.org/

“An EarthCache site is a special place that people can visit to learn about a unique geoscience feature or aspect of our Earth. Visitors to EarthCache sites can see how our planet has been shaped by geological processes, how we manage the resources and how scientists gather evidence to learn about the Earth.”

“EarthCache sites must provide Earth science lessons. They take people to sites that can help explain the formation of landscapes or to sites of interesting phenomena such as folds, faults, intrusions or reveal how scientists understand our Earth (such as fossil sites etc.)”

“EarthCache sites must be educational. They provide accurate but simple explanations of what visitors will experience at the site. Cache notes must be submitted and assume no previous knowledge of earth science. The educational notes must be written to a reading age of an upper middle school (14 year old) student. Avoid direct plagiarism from web sources and quote sources of information where appropriate. Additional technical or scientific notes can be provided for the scientific community. Please note appropriate place on the submittal form for the technical notes. All notes can be submitted in the local language but must also be in English.”

As far as topics go you can do rocks, erosion, water, impacts from outer space. Basically if it shapes the Earth (naturally) it is usually OK. One of the most common Earthcache types here have to do with glacial features due to the fact that Wisconsin was carved up fairly well during the Ice Age. Specifics are covered on the Earthcache website.

I too did the Earthcache you allude to I highlighted in red above what I think qualifies that one as an Earthcache…

Biology (and presumably other sciences) can be mentioned but cannot be the focus of the cache unless they meet the criteria specified on the website… GC15BZ5 is an example of this. If you have specific questions about what might work, you could contact Geoaware through the GC profile.

🙁 Bummer! 🙁
Well you still have a few weeks where it is gonna be wet and yucky anyway get healed soon.
(Hey if this happened at a geocache mums the word right???)

The cache should be going live today. I still need to adopt the cache from Geoaware which I will do later this afternoon. I want to get one change made (and approved through Geoaware first).
I hope y’all enjoy the site. Thanks for the words of support and offers of assistance.

You and Digital Dan are Earthcache machines!
There’s plenty of room in the club so I certainly welcome you with open arms.
