We’ve discussed this after attending our first event last summer, trying to determine the right thing to do. For ourselves, we’ve decided to log any of the caches we find on our own or in a group so long as we actively participate in the hunt. We won’t log those caches that we happen across as others are logging it since we didn’t actively join in finding it.

Congratulations, Miata! The first time we met you, you were riding down the trail at New Glarus Woods on a borrowed bicycle to hunt your 300th, if memory serves correctly. Way to go!

The FugawiFor what it’s worth, we added Minnesota to our list this weekend.
I used auto-routing on our new GPS for the first time last weekend while hunting Mission Impossible, after having been a Luddite about GPSs in vehicles for a long time. Very cool!
Us, too! Hearty congratulations and sincere best wishes for many, many more successful hunts.

The FugawiGeocaching Swiss Army Knife is free and Clyde only asks that you consider sending him $15 to register it. It’s a very versatile tool.
I have no vested interested in GSAK but am pleased with what it does and suggest giving it a try if you’re looking for software.
Congratulations on your 600th find and congratulations, too, on a 50-cache day! That is really industrial-strength caching!

The FugawiHuzzah on reaching a hundred! Here’s to crediting more to your account. (Are DNFs a debit or are they just deferred income?)

The FugawiCongratulations! Once you’re into caching, isn’t it amazing how quickly 100 comes? Best wishes for many hundreds more!

The FugawiCongratulations and best wishes for many more “Hootie Hoos”!

The FugawiDon’t forget A Field of Pines and A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss. Both are in the immediate area and nice hides. They, along with Dew It for Fun were the first caches we did on a beautiful Sunday afternoon this past March.

Your idea is interesting and, I guess, creative. I’m thinking it will appeal to a niche group, but lacks the versatility of the existing process to gain wide appeal. One huge drawback is the need for Internet access immediately before you want to hunt a particular cache to check it out.
A lot of people load caches into PDAs or print off a number of caches covering areas where they expect to be and hunt them as the opportunity arises and without benefit of Internet access immediately before setting out. Sure, a cache might be archived without knowing about it, but the odds are pretty low.
There are those who view geocaching competitively and your approach might well appeal to them. But, those of us who do it to relax have a pretty good deal as things are.
I hope you don’t view my comments as negatives, but as caveats. I wish you the best of luck in your project.

Am I understanding this right? If you go out to hunt a Swiss cache, there’s a good chance that it won’t be there? If someone gets to it before you do you might well have wasted time, energy and gas to hunt a non-existent cache? Or am I dazed, confused and clueless?
