Sometimes I have no choice but to copy and paste.
Something like….
“Out on a West Bend Numbers Run. Awesome Day For it. Find #57 of the day.”
If I remember something particular about that cache, I might add…
“Log was getting full so I put in a new log sheet”
or
“Cool container, but I’ve seen this hide before”
That’s basically all you can do if you are on a numbers run.
Dat’s true. Nothing we really can do about TFTC logs or copy and paste logs.
As Uncle Fun had said, get over it 😛
Oh yeah..don’t forget about the cache pages themselves.
Some say “Bison Tube. BYOP.”
That’s it.
That certainly deserves a TFTC.
I normally don’t post TFTC logs. I always write at least a nice short log for every cache I find.
However, I posted my first ever “TFTC” log at one of ZH’s caches last week.
What’s there to post for a guardrail cache on a highway overpass that is part of several in a series?

Nicolet State Trail and vicinity has a string of around 45 that’s on my radar. From around Laona Junction to Carter. Only about 20 miles. Yet being from Green Bay, you may have done it already.
Coords for start point of this one? I’m interested in doing this.
Keep this in mind….
If it wasn’t for the “easy park and grabs”, people with disabilities would not be able to go geocaching, right?
I’ll still visit Sweetlife’s WSQ caches because I know from my past finds that their hides are quick and easy and away from the “residents” of the cemetery. No problem.
But I usually avoid the others for the most part, especially if the description says I’m looking for a bison tube. Odds are, it’s in a pine tree.
I know some municipalities ban the placement of cemetery caches. If I’m not mistaken, I believe a whole state has banned them as well. North Carolina, maybe? A lot of that has to do with geocachers and hiders being disrespectful to the cemetery itself while looking for the cache.
Another thing about caching in cemeteries, it’s best if only 1 or 2 people go look for it at a time. A group of cachers definitely will attract attention, no doubt about that.
To this day, the Pike Powder Hike was and is still one of my favorite caches. It is what geocaching really all about. I did that one for my 200th a couple years ago.
Many of you know I’m from the Marinette area…well, this photo is aimed mostly at those in the Sheboygan area 😛
Well, I guess it is just a matter of preferences.
If the cemetery cache is a field solve puzzle that takes me to some interesting markers, I MIGHT do it to learn some history. And even then, I’m not sure if I’ll go look for the final, depending on where it is.
If there HAS to be a cemetery cache, it should never be a bison in a large pine tree. God knows how many of those Marc 5-Digit had put out. I know I spent time looking for some of them. I’ve walked away from a few as well.
Cemetery caches should always be an easy find after making the solve. Just grab it, sign it, and go. Not likely to attract attention.
But when I have to look and look for a bison in a pine tree, that’s likely to attract attention and that is where I got the evil eyes from a maintenance guy. So yeah, that’s why I stopped doing it.
Tough hides and clever hides have no place in a cemetery and that is where the controversy starts.
I would rather just pass by a cemetery cache rather then attempt it only to find out it’s a micro in a pine tree. No thanks.
Personally I don’t think caches should not be in cemeteries – period. I just don’t feel right caching in a cemetery. It’s a Holy Ground, not a playground.
I once owned caches in cemeteries, but after getting some evil eyes from a maintenance guy at a cache, I thought to myself, he’s right. Caches have no business in a cemetery, public or private. So I pulled my cemetery caches last year.
I probably could have had a couple more smileys on my short run in Green Bay this past Tuesday, but I passed up on a couple cemeteries that had caches in them and just drove by.
I’m probably the only one here in the WGA that feels this way, but just google “geocaching in cemeteries” and you will see that it is a controversial issue so obviously others feel the same way.
IMO, caching in cemeteries should be banned.
I was in Green Bay today to pick up a few things at the mall…I now know why I stopped caching in Green Bay.
Just too many caches in residential neighborhoods. I visited 4 caches. I found 1 and only because it was a bit secluded from the neighborhood. I walked away from 2 of them because they were in plain view of people’s houses even though they were in small parks. And the last was a DNF because the coords were 50 feet off and the CO still has not updated them.
I’m sorry, but I just don’t feel comfortable caching in a residential neighborhood. Ground Zero just should not be in plain view of private residences, whether it’s on public or private land.
The bomb scare by Cormier School some time ago is a great example why.
What else can kill the game? A cache page that has little description of the cache itself. Examples:
“Bison tube. BYOP.”
“On ATV trail. “
“Should be an easy find.”
If that’s all the cache page is gonna say, then I probably wont visit the cache. Tell me a story on why the cache was placed to give me a reason why I should visit said cache. Otherwise I’m not gonna bother unless I’m in the area anyways.
Off the soapbox..
This one still gives me a laugh even after several times that I hear it.
Wendy had just gotten out of the shower and only wrapped a towel around herself when the doorbell rang. Knowing her husband Bill was on a teleconference in his office, she went to answer the door and a man was standing outside.
“Hello. My name is Jack. Is Bill here?” said the man.
“Yes, but he’s on a long distance teleconference. He won’t be done for a while,” said Wendy.
Jack looks at Wendy wrapped in only a towel.
“Tell you what. I’ll give you $200 if you give me a quick flash,” said Jack.
Wendy thinks for a minutes. She could use the money. So she opens the towel and flashes Jack.
“Nice. I’ll give you another $200 if you let me grab your breasts,” said Jack.
Wendy thinks a minute, then lets Jack cop a feel of her breasts. Jack then gives her the money and leaves.
Bill then comes into the room.
“Who was that, honey?” Bill asked Wendy.
“Um, just some Jehovah’s Witnesses,” Wendy lied.
“Well, let me know if my buddy Jack stops by,” said Bill. “He was gonna pay me the $400 that he owes me.”

Callen: So we are looking for a nano? That explains it. Kensi, Sam, and I thought it was a matchstick container that we were looking for. No wonder we could not find it.
