Well the sad thing is that these things tend to be very collectible….Also some cachers keep them to “share” at events. There will be 5,500 new ones released next month (or so) so you will likely get to see one at that time (but don’t wait if you see one in a cache near you -run don’t walk if you want to see one).

In a weird fluke I got two in the same day a coupe weeks back so there are still some out there, you just have to be patient (and lucky).

Pull up a chair and stay a while; we love the company. Glad you are having fun with geocaching! It is after all the greatest use for Tupperware known to man.

The only thing I would add is something that I recently ran into (thanks for helping, Tie!). There should also be a provision for neglected caches. If a cache has apparently gone missing but the owner makes no move to check on, repair or disable the cache (in this case since October) then the same procedure should apply. Using disabling of a cache as the trigger for this procedure may not cache all of the caches that need help. Perhaps adding some sort of “reporting” form would work.

This is a fabulous idea that would greatly enhance the sport in our state. Thanks for the hard work!

Yep on in agreement with this I know of two caches which the owners have not replaced or marked as disabled…How do we make these go away? One has been this way for 8 months and the other for three.

…Cachers kind of follow the rule… “Unless you can say some Good about the cache, don’t say anything at all” Average run of the mill caches will elicit an “average run of the mill log”. Make sure you put out great caches, and you’ll find you’re reading ALL the logs!!

I couldn’t agree more. If you are getting a bunch of logs that just say “TNLN TFTC” then it should raise a flag telling you that maybe that hunt wasn’t stellar. I like to make theme caches or puzzles as they seem to attract more creative logs.
Oh BTW I read every log and will very often thank people who write nice logs or offer congrats to noobs who have only a few caches under their belts.

For example here is one of my favorite logs:

Aye we found her!
Much divining was brought to bear in the search of the treasure! Maps were studied and stories of ancient treasure were read. The reasearch done, we headed out on our adventure!

A circuitous path of the landlocked waters where the beast resided revealed not a clue. The realm of the innocent dead was searched but revealed yet no clue. But lo! the two towers of the clue revealed themselves and with them, the blood stones and the final clue to the treasure.

Being poor explorers and much needy of the promised treasure, we embarked for the treasure from the place of much comings and goings. There we abandoned our craft and started our final explorations. Hills and valleys were revealed in our travels and we came upon friendly locals among well travelled paths.

Leaving the well traveled trails, we relied on our navigational devices and skills and located the treasure!

A great horde she be at that! Not provoke the beast, and to preserve some of the horde for future seekers, we only absconded with a pair of coin shaped medallions from a far away eastern continent and left tokens of our visit; a whistle for calling for help, and a few totems in the shape of animals made of a strange un-earthly resin-like subtance.

We left our mark to let it be known that we had prevailed and located this stash of treasure!
-Draconis

This type of log won’t be found in a park and grab.

If time is tight go after the three south of I94. They will take about 40 minutes from the highway and back.

The North-most hide (Nature Hill Revisited) will take a bit longer (more of a drive and a bit tougher hike).

Hope your hubby lets you come out and play. 😉

I am still waiting patiently (sort of) for my cache materials to arrive! I ordered them 6/20 and was assured they were on the way. Will give them another few days and then maybe contact to ask if they sent it or not.

I’m sure they are on the way they are very slow. 🙄

Now I fully expect a visit from you…..now that my newest hide has listed. There are four in a row right up hwy 67. They are all fairly easy hides and only two have a hike of a bit more than 1,000 feet. You can get them all in just over an hour. The best part it will almost for sure get you into the drawing as you will get 800 points for the finds plus 4 100 point puzzles (1,200 points goes a long way!) ➡

OK my 4th and last cache has been placed. They are all along a path of Hwy 67 (the northmost is a bit removed). SO come on and have at em’ Just remember to log them at the site.

All you need to do to find rock lobster is bring a new logbook and place it in a waterproof bottle (wide mouth would be best) with a clasp around it and hook it to the mooring. You just have to find the mooring to claim the find if you replace the container. When I found it the cache was attached to the mooring with a caribiner…sounds like that part is still intact.

Thanks LB7! I’ll have to look back at the logs and see for sure what the issue is. If the container is missing, I’ll have to figure out WHAT to use/bring that is attachable and waterproof.

Hold that thought. I’ll bring a new container for it complete with a log and trinkets. If anyone wants to attempt it I will pass it off to them to use as a new container. There’s no guarantees though as the condition of the mooring will determine if it can be replaced.
Just look for me at The Gauntlet; I’ll be the one with a GPS unit.

*EDIT* I have a nice new container which will fit small trades (bring waterproof items) The log is nestled in a film can within the new container for added protection).

I have now hidden my second box but will not list it until I get one or two of my next boxes.

[Lostby7]

I do see there is one there “With parks permission.”
Oh well I think this is a good way to build a good relationship.

[Lostby7]

I thought we got kicked out of high cliff park. Didn’t we have all our caches located there archived a few months back.

[Lostby7]

I sure hope they have a big mailroom 😈

[Lostby7]

IT’S ALIVE!!!! 😛
Also note they are taking applications for people to get sent one to place in the wild.
