I’d move this to the Earthcaching Thread, but we don’t have one 🙁

You could come do this one of mine GCT0MR
Anybody been to the Ghost Train caches? We have always wanted to do them, did you see anything? 😯
Been there, done that…..I remember it well (May 6, 2006) . Nice cache and a good addition to the thread.

Spooky Caches of Wisconsin – a bookmark of mine. Maybe you’ll get some inspiration from some of them.
This is a great set of caches! We have done a few on the list and have enjoyed everyone of them. Now we have a list to work from. Thanks LightingBugs Mum!
Agreed. I have done several on the list as well. Nice book mark….

Birds? You’ve got my attention, Brett. What did they look like? Did you figure out what they were?
Still Earthcache-ownerless in West Salem…..
Is that a Dodo? I got a wasp / hornet bite (or sting) at “Quaking in Volo” that hurt for three days! That sucker was almost as big as the bird in the picture!!!
Hey don’t feel bad I have a Earthcache burning a hole in my pocket too…….it’s been done for two weeks….still waiting for permissions from the location I want to put it. Even if I get the permission (which will be no earlier than Thursday…and possibly not at all) it will still be another week or so before it gets published. What was it Yoda said….”patience young Jedi.”

You too Brett!!
Ah just teasin’…like George Thorogood says:
” I cache alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I cache alone, I prefer to be by myself.”“Now, every morning, just before breakfast, I don’t want no coffee or tea.
Just me and my good GPSr. That’s all I ever need.”
😉😛 WOW! 😛
😥 I wasn’t invited….I still need two states to go Platinum status. 😥My latest will be going up this week with luck (I have been having difficulty gaining permissions and have had to change locations several times). It will be located in Lannon. Waiting for permission sux.

I recently had to move a cache (NEMESIS #8 Uhm Yeah! to NEMESIS #8 Uhmm Yeah! The Sequel) 75 feet and the system would not allow it. I ended up having to re-do the entire cache.
This would be a great thread for the “Ask a Reviewer” section that’s been asked for. Hint Hint! 😉
I agree….there have been lots of questions recently about placements….Earth caches, letterbox hybrids, virtual stages of multis etc. It would be nice to have all these in one place.
Even if the section were to save the reviewers one or two questions sent to them privately each week I’d think it was worth it, but it’s really up to the reviewers if they want such a section created…..
It only took a couple of days…maybe three. That said, he may be on vacation but if you don’t hear from him by midweek-or Friday I’d think about a follow-up email….we don’t want to be pests as it is cool that we can actually get these approved in SNAs at all.

…It will be listed as a cache at Geocaching with coords and as a letterbox at letterboxing.org with instructions….
I’m curious if anyone knows if this is the typical way these are listed (with coordinates on GC and word clues on Letterbox.org)?
The latest one listed near me (and the only one within 50 miles) is listed with word clues only on GC.
It is a great time and my 9 year old son had a total blast, but unfortunately this years date falls when someone (possibly me) may or may not be attending a 20 year HS reunion (allegedly).

I don’t think Letterbox hybrids ever went out of play.
They really aren’t considered multis, as there’s only the one container. Since any intermediate steps would only be landmarks and not containers, the 528′ guideline would not apply to those; the guideline would only apply to the final container as usual.
Not to open a can of worms, but then would a multi which is also based on landmarks (no tags and only one cache) follow this same 528 rule? That is, can I place a cache 20 feet away from a stage of a multi if the multis stage is just a landmark?
OK so can someone answer this:
Let’s say that there is a multi cache in town that has stages throughout the town such that no other cache could be placed based on the 528 rule. Now a letterbox hybrid is placed outside of town. The directions for finding the Letterbox hybrid begin at a landmark on the north side of town and end on the south side of town where the cache is hidden. As part of its written directions landmarks inside of this town are referenced. Does this cache get approved?
SO what I’m wondering is how does the 528 rule apply to the letterbox hybrid? Does the rule apply only to the beginning and ending point? Does it apply to the each landmark referenced along the path of the hunt? …or does it apply to the entire route?
…anyone?
