Is it just a group of cachers that feel it is wrong or is it the general consensus of the caching community?

I have never made my feelings known about this before…but I do not like this practice. However, I do not really care enough to sit and argue about it either. I just wanted to let everyone know that there are people out there that don’t like the way temps are logged who don’t sit on the groundspeak forums and complain about it intermittently throughout the year.

You travel over 6,000 miles for one cache, it had it’s own icon. 🙂 Check my finds this past month if you want to know want cache.

Wow 😯 , that sounded like quite an adventure.

Would people travel this far to see great geographical and historical places? To get many caches in one day? To get discounts on lodging and food? Special coin, or TB? If there were a party with food, dance and prizes? How important are temporaries/permanent caches to most cachers? Would WGA ever hold an event this far north?
Please share thouights and ideas so we can let them know what most cachers think about this.
Thanks,

We would and have travelled decently far (within Michigan and Wisconsin) to see places of geographical and historic interest while caching and because there are caches to hunt. A cache at these types of places with a good description will get an area on our “to do” list of possible future destinations. However, if we are going to travel to an out of the way destination, there will probably have to be several caches to visit in that area if we are going to make it there (gas is expensive, and what can I say, I love to follow the little arrow around).

Being able to get discounts on lodging (through coupons purchased from radio stations here in the U.P.) have already caused us to take several caching trips to Green Bay/Appleton that we otherwise wouldn’t have taken, or would have went somewhere else. Being able to spend less than $40 on a quality hotel room is quite an incetive to get us to go there for a weekend. With this type of deal in place I know it would cause us to travel to a certain area more often, especially if we enjoy ourselves there on our first visit. For example, we took a day trip over to Eagle River while caching, and were just awestruck by the beauty of the area. Before leaving town, Lynn and I had both decided that we will make it back to this area again sometime in the future. Sometimes, one visit to an area like this is enough to get us to return repeatedly.

I have never hunted a temporary cache, but I don’t really see this as an appeal to me to get me to a new area. A decent number of caches within driving distance is important to us, because we typically travel to cache, not cache because we are travelling.

I am not an offical “member”, but I have been reading this topic b/c I am interested in what everyone has to say on these topics. Being out of state…I would abstain even if given the opportunity to vote, but I still find the opinions interesting.

I use hotmail for my pocket queries and have had no trouble with them. Can’t help you with the Charter question, sorry.

Nope, I wasn’t calling you a geek, I had one of those dumb questions that I answered about 2 seconds after hitting the submit button. 😳

Got mine yesterday and it wants to get to Namibia. That will be quite a trip from the U.P.! 😯

I’ve been out caching quite often since the big snowfall. Not many folks have been seeking the caches that I have. I’m amazed at the number of animals that are using the cacher trails.

We normally think of cacher trails as doing damage to our native habitats, however, it seems to be just the opposite. Apparantly the rabbits, coyotes, deer and foxes are finding them the easiest way to get through the woods.

I never expected to see this.

I noticed this last year caching in fresh snow in the U.P. It seemed like deer tracks almost always ran right past cache locations on hides in the woods. We kind of laughed about it, as the deer tracks often led us within 10′ of the hide.

Thanks for putting the links up, I enjoyed viewing the videos.

Congratulations on the new member of the team! You must be very excited and I am very happy for you!

We were out caching in Marinette County Saturday and it was a good thing that we had the blaze orange on…we ran into 2 hunters on the trail and we heard lots of shooting in the woods. Thanks for the heads up TE.

[Team B Squared]

Yeah….I never put a front plate on my car either 😆

[Team B Squared]

Congratulations!

I didn’t click any links, but I am kind of careful about going to pages that show up like this in forums.

I usually pop in a live Linux CD when I want to test out unknown websites so I don’t have to worry about the effects it could have on my pc. you can download and burn your own linux cd’s or have them ship you some for free. I currently use ubuntu linux because of the awesome forum I can turn to anytime I need help.
Live cd’s are great because they don’t install anything so when your done using it your windows install is still exactly the way it was. They are also great for getting your files off a non-booting windows hardrive(or bypassing any windows passwords).

Sorry for the long rant about linux, maybe I should start my own blog and spam the WGA forums with it.

Most blogs suck, it’s usually someone taking their own spin on someone Else’s content(or just blatant copying of content).
I use digg.com for news, and I HATE it when people link to blog stories instead of the actual webpage the story originated from. hopefully the blog fad will die off, though I doubt it will.
😉

Wow, thanks for all the info. Personally, I have found that I really enjoy reading sports related blogs. I really haven’t gotten into reading blogs about real news or other subjects though. I still stick to news websites for that info.
