I almost never look at the hints. Most times it just gives to much away. I will however sneak a peak on caches I’ve already heard are tough to find.
On the other hand, I have no problem using the phone-a-friend technique when necessary.
Now, if they’d only take my suggestion and put a big red check mark at the top of the page to show that you have done that particualr cache…
That’s a good one.
You have to uplaod the picture to the internet somewhere. The best place (if you don’t have on-line storage already) would be to post it to a cache psge of one of your own caches. Then just use the “Img” tag to insert it in your post here.

Nope, I’ve got a Magellan. 😆
Seriously though, it sounds shorted. 😥 How old is it?
Please, please pass along the portly piggys propper numbers. Put it to paper with pen or pencil, and put it the promptly. 😯

The bad news is that the vast majority of caches are hidden on public land, managed by public employees. And when these public employees find an area destroyed by one of our geocaches, the result is more regulation and more problems for everyone. They won’t care about the other 99 geocaches on their properties that are creating no problems. They won’t care that the grass grows back a year later. They won’t care that you put “Don’t tear up the area” in the cache description. The result is banning, permission forms, placement fees, licensing, and more rules.
Now nobody is saying that we can’t place difficult hides. The problem is difficult hides in sensitive areas. There is no problem with difficult hides in shelters, rockpiles, marshes and swamps, bike trails, ball fields, thorn thickets, beaches, parking lots, city parks, and many other places. But most forests (especially forests near ponds and other bodies of water) and all prairies can be severely damaged by extended seaching. Its in all our best interest to preserve the places where we play our game.
Well put. Which is why I started placng the “Boyd” series of caches this year.
The good news here folks is that it all grows back. All but erosion that is.
Last year I placed a cache “NEMESIS 3: Are you nuts yet?”. I was tore up over how tore up the area got. I may have even posted here about it. 😉 The damage was extensive.
The good news is, that going back there this spring, I’ve noticed the whole area has grown back in quite well. One more season and all that horrible damage will never be noticed. Trees have regrown branches, plants and grasses have completely filled back in. Even the footprints in the mud are gone. Erased by water or filled in with pine needles, it matters not. The only evidence that we were ever there, is the break in the thorns where a small path was formed. This is also starting to fill back in with thorns, and should not be noticed within a years growth.
I myself rarely look at the clues before I head to a cache unless I’ve heard it’s a problem. The hints usually spoil the fun. But then, I’m not affraid of a DNF either.
So, IMHO cachers should be aware of the damage they are doing, and so should cache owners. But, myself included, we should all not get so upset over trampled grasses and such. They grow back quickly, and they’ll be there long after we are all gone. IMHO
Peace!
Thanks for the series Ryan!!!
Gald to have you here Wis Kid!
Thanx, I never thought of that.
My vote will go for beauty, with the least color. A little color is good, but I like metal tones and such.
Way to go Mary!!! 1000 is just around the corner.

Roz once worked with a woman who’s husband had his name on the list for a very long time. He got tired of waiting so he died. A couple of years later the tickets arrived in the mail. That was Friday night. On Monday she told Roz she didn’t think anyone would want them so she sent them back.
I cried for a week.I’m cyring with you. 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥
04/23/2007 at 8:37 pm in reply to: Being an Ultimate Fan pays off! Television Viewing Event #1873459I’m on the list for season tickets. I have been for 13 years. I have about another 40 to go before I’ll get any. I’ve tried to get moved up the list by pleading with anyone who will listen (which isn’t almost anyone). It’s not happening.
Incidentally, my grandfather, Edward Sampson, played for the Packers form 1919 until 1921. He was a founding member that worked for the Acme Meat Packing Company right alongside Curly Lambeau. He’s in the Packers Hall of Fame too. Well, him and is whole team for all three years is. Still, no tickets. I’ve never seen a game in person. 😥 But, I’m optimistic about it.
