County park workers are unionized. Management is overworked and operations are underfunded. If you will attempt to coordinate anything with the Parks people, be prepared for a low level of enthusiasm. (been there).

I thought I saw something similar.. on a hiking staff… maybe, ah.. Timberline echoes? 😉

Armor on! Just got back after searching for geocaches in piles of bark, searching for the correct pile of dog doo-doo, and micros hanging from pine trees! Sorry if I have offended. What ever happened to the traditional geocaches? Have they gone the way of $2.00 Gas? Evaporated?

I need to take shelter behind that shield as well. Trudy & I have hidden our share of micro’s, too. I think there is room for them in the game, but let’s try to be creative. The unique facet of a cache is lost the second time it is done. Example: First fake rock – “creative”; second fake rock -“been there, done that.” Today, when we come to the end of a dead end road, we know to look for a magnetic ‘hide-a-key’ on the guard rail. Trudy and I love the creativity of Genius Loci’s caches, but feel that it is near moronic to try to search out more than a dozen of the ‘BoB’ caches in a day. Much of this was learned in our first cache series -Havenwoods 1 through 5. We love creative micros but that creativity seems to be lost in the scores of caches we see today. We have had days when we went out with the intent of relocating a Travel Bug only to find that of a dozen or more finds in that day, none was large enough to accommodate these little travelers.

We would like to see more of the larger caches to help stimulate the interest of younger cachers as well. After all, this is to a large degree, family activity. Adolescents are even more quickly bored with micros containing no stash.

Bring back the Military Surplus Utility Boxes (ammo cans) folks.

Works well. I had been tracking mine with an excell spreadsheet and did some comparisons. both routines agree on the count of counties with finds, but they disagree on finds in the county for several. “County Count” [sounds like ‘linky link’] doesn’t pick up locationless, temps or archived caches.

I guess we now have a Count of County counts 😉

Oh.. ~tb 😳

He meant “Stickies” in the forums. 😕 ~Trudy

It seems there are several cachers that do their shopping at their local Golf course. 😯

This is a rather interesting question. It would seem to me that in order for an item to become unstuck, one must have the will and the means to unstuck the item. Obviously, if the item has negligible utility or intrinsic value, there can be little desire for it to become unstuck. Then too, the item may have greater value in it’s current stuck position than it might have if it were to become unstuck. It seems that there may be other issues to address here as well. What priority will be given to unstucking the item? There may be a number of other stuck items that must be unstuck first. What will the difficulty of unstucking the item be? What is the merit of unstucking the item? If the item remains stuck, will it cause one undue duress? How much will unstucking cost? could go on, but in short, call Tripple A.

you go to the barber and jam his clippers with some twigs in your hair.

ROTFLMAO. Tears, tears and more tears. Spitting my coffee on the computer screen, coffee backed up my nose, still LMAO.

Now, who has time for a barber?
