Nope, only the caches marked as double points on the bookmark list count double. Essentially they needed to be last found on April 30, 2007 or earlier.

I think this technology might eventually be adopted by tourist boards, outdoor museums, and the like to provide electronic tour guides. The problem is that, among geocachers, I’ve heard of one person so far who owns a Colorado (that would be you), and only a couple who use GPS enabled PocketPCs instead of a standard handheld. Remember, its not enough to use a PocketPC. It has to be GPS enabled. Perhaps this will change in the future as more GPS setups are usable by Wherigo, but until then, I’m afraid its going to be looked at as a novelty only.

Thanks everyone. As Steve indicated, I did spend most of the day preaching the gospel of geocaching to young, impressionable scouts (and parents). It was really the best part of the day, even though I had a hard time explaining why twoworldly labeled his “film can in a lamppost skirt” hide as a “Large”. When I finally got away to do some caches, I hit the find nearest cache button and away I went … to yet another dead end road cache. I thought “So this is how its going to go today”. OK, whats the next one? Old Jersey, which I have tried to find four times now. And, for the fourth time in a row, someone is fishing on top of the cache. “Things aren’t looking so great…” But then, things started looking up as the rain picked up. Mudslide Mockingbird took me to a new area I had never visited, which was a very fun hike. Then I visited the “Ryan Property”, an old farm which apparently the county is taking back to prairie. This place was really great as this is the first time in a LONG time that I have been able to handle that type of terrain. I can’t really explain how happy I was exploring this little muddy patch of land, so special thanks to Mister Greenthumb, Callerdude, Thingfinders and Opps5 for placing caches there for me to find. But, most important, thanks to all of you for making us feel welcome in this great community and putting up with some of my crazy ideas.

Here is a different concept: geocache when you want, where you want, as much as you want. Don’t worry about milestones, numbers and the like. They will take care of themselves. Just get out in the woods and have fun!

It would fall under sidewalks I think. A memorial walkway. So I guess that would be the DPW. Do you know any contacts there?
thanks

Thanks, Marc! You are a great help…

That would be HERE.

Lee, it kind of depends on where you have in mind. For actual government buildings, like the parking garages, you really need to talk to the person running that particular operations. If you are talking about things like sidewalks, roadways, etc., you need to talk to the department of public works. Same for waterworks and sewage treatment facilities. I don’t believe the city owns any parks other than maybe the festival grounds, and I believe that is county as well. And of course the schools are owned by the school district, not the city. What did I not think of?

If a person wanted to replace the caches on the cache rescue list, is that a possibility? Or would it have to be listed as a new cache and go through the regular process? Just wondering…..

You cannot adopt caches which have been archived. If you are the original owner of the cache, we can unarchive it for you, but otherwise, you need to create a new cache.

[Team Deejay]

Ummmm, they already count. Did you mean log them so that they don’t count?

[Team Deejay]

I was rooting for the smilies with the marshmallows.

Be careful buying on Ebay. In theory, Garmin does not honor warranties for “grey market” purchases. If you have any doubts about the vendor, call Garmin and check before you buy.

[Team Deejay]

Yep!

Hey, Professor here!
I attended the CITO event in Waukesha recently…and what Earth Angel has been suggesting all along worked like a charm. I logged the “I attended” once, stating I attended the CITO event. Thus I did not log multiple “Attended logs.”
Then I logged my temp finds under “found it.” I did log multiple “found it” logs (one per temp cache found). Why can’t this be the protocol for ALL Wisconsin Events? Since it appears that “others” are upset with us for logging multiple “attended logs” for our temp finds?

Lastly, Ecorangers stand behind what BQueen stated in her previous post.

Ummm, this only works for CITO events. Apparently Groundspeak allows found its for CITOs but not for events. Of course, we could set up all the picnics, campouts, and other events as CITOs….

Oops, somehow My comment (kbraband) got posted as the one from Team DeeJay. Not sure what happened here.
