Congrats on the milestone and the double LCG points (don’t forget to submit the find!) AND counting all the ivy leaves!
That one was a tough nut to crack–gave us fits, too. WTG, Chatauqua560!(Hmmm… Next up, cache find #560 for you? 😉 )

I’m such a slow poke, it took me 9 years to find 600 caches!
Sounds to me like you’re just too busy hiding some really good ones. Congrats on the finds and thanks for the hides.
Sounds more like one of those new challenge things to me, but maybe for the challenge, “while wearing a brown coat” should be added.
Congratulations on the 1000 GPS-less finds, Muggle B! That’s quite an achievement!
Is that chevyole or Millenium Mark? 😉 Congrats on the 1000 finds and on having a great time with a bunch of friends on the milestone cache!
That’s awesome! So crazy that there are caches there. Congrats on the 6000 finds!
Wow! A thousand dozens! That’s a lot of eggs! Or cache finds. Congratulations on the new milestone, and finally getting to make the trip you’ve been planning for a while. Here’s looking at knocking off that MN DeLorme sometime soon, too! 😀

I’ll bet that both of you preferred your milestone #2000, though. 😉
(honeymoon in Belize)As far as zip codes go, I think the site must be centering on the center of the service area for that zip code. Both Adams and Friendship show up with the closest cache being well out of town. I use coords nearer to my home for the search function when I want to see near caches. If you want to search near the center of Ripon, pick a cache right in town to use for your “find caches near”.
As for archived caches, the only ways that I have ever been able to see them is if I know cachers who had found them (then I search their profile “found” listings for the archived caches), or I know who had placed the archived caches (then I search their profile “hidden” listings for the archived caches). If you know the GC code for any cache listing, you can type that in and it will show up, even if it is archived. I have never seen any archived caches show up in a search by using a postal code.
Thanks for the insight, Deejay.
Mrs. TE explained that to us at the first weenie roast in 2009: When caching with a group, if one person spots the cache, he/she steps back and says “finder’s tree”, while the others keep looking. Each one who finds it does the same until the last person spots the cache, then picks it up for everyone to pass around. Everyone gets to experience the find that way.
You were running around willy-nilly with Trooper at that event, finding all the caches way ahead of us slow people, Cindy! 🙄 😉 That’s why you weren’t with us when Mrs. TE gave us the explanation of finder’s tree.
Well, Mister GT, we have run across some caches with inactive owners who are REALLY inactive and who never activated their accounts, and those caches are still going strong. Wonder if the GS GC police are starting to crack down.
Congrats on finding yourself and getting #2600, Mathman!
Hands on as much as you can, Cindy. Let them explore signing up for a GC account, watching the intro videos, opening & closing & checking out real types of containers, entering their own coords, following the arrow or the distance to the caches, more than once. Hands on. And I agree about the temps, although I know there aren’t too many actual caches in the area you’re looking at.
Hit hard on the etiquette and the respect thing, but not preachy. Get them to put themselves into the position of the other person: the CO, the other cachers, muggles, whatever. How would things look or how would they feel if such-and-such…
