I’m probably wrong…….again…….but it seems as though Selzzup has 5 new caches placed every day, where as, Mathatopia only gets 5 a month (and 4 of those have been mine lately). Even the river rats, the slugs, the badlanders and the sandlanders hide more. Just sayin’. Come on GB.

I tell ya, whine, whine, whine. I’m coming off this rock of an Island every chance I can to grab your caches, it’s time you get your hinder up here to grab my caches! It’s not like I live in Michigan (almost) or something… 😛

Besides, a boat ride is nice during this most dangerous time of the year for mariners.

Dooooood it was like the 70’s man… remember, kids rode in the back window of the car, no seat belts, we drank from the hose…stayed OUTSIDE until it was dark playing with human FRIENDS and not electronic friends….

OH those were the days.

It’s still like that in many communities. You’re going to have to look hard to find it in a Metro area but in rural Wisconsin communities it still lives.

I really can’t understand why it’s easier to ask a previous finder for a clue than it is to ask the cache owner.

They might say no…

…requiring that all caches must be able to be found by every cacher.

I missed that rule and will continue to not be able to find it.

TRUE

Bottom line: IT’S FREE!

First geowhatever since I started. Don’t “plan” on spending money on any more. I released 3 when I started and two of the 3 vanished almost immediately. I do enjoy this way of watching a coin/tag travel to areas that interest me “WHEN” the grabber reads the mission and helps it achieve it.

Mine, if it follows it’s mission, hopefully will travel to some interesting Library or Book Store caches. And this time coins that my wife spent good money on and gave me as a gift will not be a factor, in fact she chose the mission and with a little luck, it will discover an interesting old book store or magnificent small town library.

Thread stealing thought…
I love that commercial.

Sorry 😯

Only example of this I ever encountered was finding a long archived cache at the site were another individual had placed a newer cache which was missing.

I logged the archived cache as a find and explained the situation in the log and let the owner of the present cache at the site know his was missing. He archived his cache and I stopped by a year later with no action on the original archived cache and removed it.

Instead of scoring on a puzzle cache I had finally figured out I got a find on a traditional. Not exactly what I had originally wanted.

Somewhat related along these line…

Myself personally:
Most minutes spent looking for a cache and finding it, 135.
Most round trip miles walked to a single cache, 11.

Very cool, got mine!

Nah. We’ll allow a thread to go a little off topic…

I might be interested in the Axial Intervals – Winter Solstice coin. My birthday is December 21. PM me if still available/details.

My how this thread has taken us in many different directions.

Agreed, yet some good information has been given. I’ve bookmarked 3 sites and will be downloading the ideas into some kind of format. But that’s a winter activity. I have even checked out a few of the ideas on some of the older puzzles I haven’t solved yet.

If anybody can, keep the ideas coming.

My philosophy also. Call it my conscience. I don’t steal my opponents missed points in Cribbage either. 🙂

It also means I have a stack of unsolved puzzles.

[Northwoods Tom]

I’m in.

Thanks!
