The officer logged it as a find. He’s even logged one of Trekkin and Birdin’s caches…
Where’s the box for the Houston Oilers? 🙄
Travel Bugs let loose in the wild are a gamble at best. I’ve tried everything mentioned to improve the odds and in my small collection out there I’ve had very limited success.
The one thing that has always intrigued me is the Bugs that have gone missing or become frozen with someone who won’t or can’t move it is that there’s individuals watching them. Is it the mission I stated on the insert, is it a former mover hopeful to see it’s next move, makes me wonder. 😕
The ones that have moved recently aren’t watched.
What a riot! I’m amazed at the totally new and unique caches that are discovered and exposed (pun intended) to the geocaching family.
Congratulations!

That’s the reason! Being from Eau Claire and traveling back there on a regular basis, I would always download some caches to look for and those I didn’t find would remain on the GPS unit. Next time I would visit, no cache! 🙄
And that’s why anytime I revisit an area, I always reload the GPS unit with an updated pocket query 🙂
Does that means I have to update my equipment… 🙁

Where I live it’s not the newbies. It’s the people who have found everything in the area… They’ll constantly archive and relist caches with various different puzzles and nuances. The cache will remain often just long enough for them to pad each other’s FTF stats and then it’ll be archived in favor of a new one in the exact same spot or close to it..

I know I personally choose many of the caches I go after by looking at the photos. A cache page with a photo is often the stating spot for further exploration towards deciding whether or not I go after the cache. If there isn’t a photo on the cache page I’ll often check to see if people have uploaded images to see if it’s a cache I want to pursue.
I follow a procedure similar to Mrs. Sandlanders using iPhoto to download the photos on my computer, picking ones that I like or that show the enjoyment of the journey. I tend to be compulsive and often do them the evening of the cache journey, numbering them with a number that corresponds to the cache I found. I put them all in to a folder on my desktop with the date I found them and create a document for each cache also numbered in the order I found them. As I said, compulsive…
When it comes time to load the finds on my account, it makes for a straight forward rapid process. By doing this all the night of the finds, the interesting features of the journey are much fresher in my mind.
I really like to include a photo(s) especially if I found the cache well done and enjoyable. The unfortunate thing is I often leave my cache bag in the vehicle with my camera although I’m getting better.
Every time I think of this log I giggle. How often have we had to wait out someone located where we want to search and what do we do…
“Milestone cache! #1000!! Biked up from Sister Bay, caught the nine o’clock ferry, and chose this one for the millennial cache find. You made me work for it though. First, the serious muggle problems at stage one; why wouldn’t they just leave? Then at stage two I walked on to the beach and groaned. Sitting directly on the cache was a girl with all her gear and books and writing material, getting inspired to write the Great American Novel. So, I walked up and, to avoid too much creepiness, introduced myself, explained geocaching, and enlisted her aid. The final stage was by far the hardest. After a long search I went back to the bike to look for a hint. Nothing. I hate to give up, so I went back at it. Even though it was right out in the open, and I had looked at it many times, my fingers found it first. Took some pics of the gorgeous view. TFTC!!”
They are all gone already. Bummer 🙁

JFK TwinemanWhat an excellent job and great idea! Thanks for all you do.
TomNo and Possibly Yes.
Depends on the Multi Cache. There are so many variations of this category.
If their is an actual container with log at each site and the owner has stated that it’s acceptable, do it if you choose. If the cache owner doesn’t want this to be done, and it it is something they don’t want there are solutions for that.
I enjoy Multi Caches and do them whenever I can but they often take a lot more time. When I have done a Multi run I personally look at it as a day where I found as many caches as stages I had to discover. The Door County Challenge is a perfect example of the type of Multi I reference when I agree with logging individual stages. Each stage was a step up from the one before. The owner allows each stage to be logged and many people have taken the opportunity to log each stage.
I think the problem arises when geocachers don’t read the cache page and play by their own rules.
Looking at the bookmark list the date appears to be 11/23/12. Those are some old caches. I have two that missed by a week.
It’s always fun to see the new list, thanks for your work!
I’ve been exploring the outdoors of the north woods since childhood. GPS technology has enriched it.

Four new BRICKS puzzles. A couple of them are horizontal, and the pieces seem to be bigger. Still 300 of them, though. 😈
Something for a rainy weekend!
