I also have been meaning to post an offer to do a walk through for anyone without the proper GPSr. Maybe we could do a Weekend Wherigo Event… 😀

U can’t have caching as primary item of the event…. 🙄

I can’t believe that on the maps the 550t does not show the big 8-10 foot wide river or stream just south of Sparta but north of the freeway. I also have city Navigator loaded as well.

Out caching and bang… I find myself at the edge of this water waterway that does not even show on the GPS. I get home and check the GPS and software and nothing. Google maps shows it…

Keeps good lock on in the woods but you might drown if only looking at the GPS.

No problems chaching at several diffrent times today between 0800-1400

I utilize the icon to mean that the cache will be not only accessible in the winter but retrievable in the snow. This does not mean it above snow level only that if there is snow, you will still be able to get it.

I don’t have one but this should take care of your problem.

Only speaking for myself…

I log DNF when I give an effort to find a cache. We all know why it is good thing to do this.

I will also log a NM if the cache does. As mentioned earlier, specific tags in identifying what NM are not part of the dropdown. Because of this, I will make a remark in the post as to why I marked it as NM. However, there is 1 exception to this. If I notice that a cache in my general cache area (20-30 mile radius) has received multiple DNFs over a period of time and the owner has failed to make a personal effort to check the cache and leave a post stating they have checked it, I then will leave a NM to better grab the attention of the owner and also let reviewer know there is an issue. When I say over period of time we are talking usually 3 months or more of DNF logs. Beat me up if you want, it is the owners responsibility to upkeep their own caches (I read this somewhere). Part of upkeep is paying attention to logs and checking out the cache at times. I have 1 hard cache and I make sure that I check it after a few DNFs and post a note that I did check it.

I’m not the cache police but I’m part of the cache community and it is the responsibility of the community to ensure that their cache area is not saturated with caches that have a majority of DNF and NM logs. It makes geocaching look bad and for prospective city officials to probably shun it. A few weeks ago I was gave a presentation to the Sparta Chamber of Commerce and imagine how it might look if the caches in the surrounding area were littered with DNF and NM logs. Poorly maintained caches can affect more than just the cacher looking for it

I don’t know why your caches are getting NM but if there were multiple DNF and YOU failed to check the cache yourself and leave a posted note then some cachers might feel that you have neglected your duties. Before you bash all new people, decided if you’re doing your part. If you are, then complain away.

YOU – refers to anyone who this might applies to and those who wish it to apply to them but most certainly not those who do not think it applies to.

Outwardly saying, “we will be finding geocaches” is not allowed.

I know, it’s subtle — isn’t it?

I can’t believe that geocachers can’t have an event to find geocaches.

*where is the yellow face emot with scratching head

So we can have an event to talk about it but not do it?

I must be having a senior moment since I can’t make heads or tails of that concept.

I tried to find a thread about this, but came up empty. My wife is heading up-nort to watch her niece and nephews for a few days. She wants to cache up in the Spencer/Marshfield area while gone. I want to do some caching while staying around home. Is there any sort of issue about each of us logging finds under our account from opposite ends of the state at the same time? Might look suspicious as armchair caching or something like that.

Whats your take….let me know, good or bad.

There are those with that much time on their hands to watch all the logs from individuals and identify the location?
