Allow me to preempt the usual cabal…
Don’t tell me how to play the game!…It’s just a game…It’s not a competition…Sunshine and puppy dogs are the things that really matter…
Actually, Sunshine DOES matter to Mr. Greenthumb! 😉
We sign cache logs. If we can’t access the container or what’s inside, we won’t claim a find. But that’s us.
Since no one is making big bucks by padding their finds stats, and since no one is preventing anyone from finding a cure for cancer by not signing logs, I don’t need to raise my blood pressure by worrying about this. Sometimes while doing maintenance, we don’t see some signatures, but we don’t know what the situations are behind that, so if those cachers can live with what they do or don’t do, so can I.
If the cache has not been trashed or otherwise compromised, and the cachers who follow can find the cache in the way we intended it to be found, that is all we ask. Our caches don’t get hit as much as Mr. Greenthumb’s, and we can tell by reading any online logs (and we DO read those when we get our CO notifications) if there is anything hinky going on on a widespread scale, so it’s easier for us to go this route compared to others.
I keep track enough of who’s been caching in the area when, and what else they have been finding around here. If they came to town and enjoyed a nice drive in the country, their scribbling a few marks on a piece of paper won’t make any difference to me.
If things get bad, I should notice, and I might start doing things differently then, but for now… live and let live.

Here is my list of all known caches in Adams County, I have the list in GSAK, but printed it out in PDF format for you.
Thanks, Barry! And PDF is always the right way to go for me.
Now if GSAK could just get with the program and make GSAK for Mac… :LOL:

Macro mapcounties.gsk on GSAK calls it as Adams County, if that helps, or not 🙂 🙂
Yes, that helps. I will call it an Adams County cache.
GC2NV4V . . . This one definitely looks like Wood County (and I’ve always thought of it as Wood), but the given latitude is farther south than that of the other one! Must have to do with the curve of the earth or something…

I need to know how to find out which county a cache is in, specifically when it is visually straddling the border from all aerial views and maps. I don’t have GSAK. How does the GC site do it for “stats” purposes? Thanks.
On the cache page of the cache in question, click on the Mapquest button. Mapquest shows the county lines.
Still no help. It’s always sitting exactly on the line, same as in my Delorme and in the online topo maps. Just wondering… if that was my only cache for the two counties, which one would it count as? The stats programs have to decide somehow.
But it’s not anything big. I can call it what I want. Just trying to identify all of the Adams County caches. GC2F6E5

Yep. They just need to be willing to be grabbed and dropped by complete strangers.
What about just being “dipped” by someone we already know?
Can the “travelers” be humans, CJ? 😉

Hey! I resemble that remark SL!
My comment was in reference to a phrase that HCH has used for himself when he makes typos, especially on coordinates. I was referring to the amount of material on one’s hands if wearing those gloves/mitts, and how it would interfere with accurate typing and coord entering, not the size of anyone’s hands.
See, that’s where your wrong, again.
A- I don’t use my choppers when I type.
B- I don’t have to enter coords into my GPS. I know how to download them.
C- My gps has buttons, so it all thumbs when navigating on my gps.
D- I use the choppers when – A deer hunting, B-Ice Fishing, C- Plowing Snow.
E- I usually use gloves and or fingerless gloves when geocaching or using my gps in the winter.And that’s where you’re wrong… again. 🙄
I was not referring to you and your practices at all, Cheezehead. I used your name ONLY in reference to the comment you like to use. The rest of my statement addressed the dilemma others have been discussing here about needing bulk for warmth but fine hand coordination for using their receivers and for logging. I did not want Splash thinking I was commenting on the size of his or anyone else’s hands, so I explained what I meant by “fat fingers”, which one would be experiencing if wearing all those layers on their hands.

And I thought that my 40 points was good. Decided that I would try to give LCG a shot this year.
You don’t have to compete to play the game. Your 40 points just let everyone know that four caches are still in play and ready to be found. That’s how the game works. And congrats on joining the fun, Barry!
We’ve been playing since the LCG began five years ago and have never racked up the big numbers. But we’re having fun.

Those lonelies are available to anyone who wants to visit them. They don’t even have to be on the LCG list to look for them. Lots of neat places to visit in the state… on BOTH sides of Highway 64!
More visitors, fewer lonelies.
Wow! Talk about “fat fingers”…. 😯 😯 😯 😉

Are you taking applications for judges? 😉
If you behave, I can add you to the judges list.
That’s a big if 😆
Too quote my late mother: “I’ll behave… but I won’t say how.”
