The worse you can do is piss off the CO with only a “TFTC” log entry. That type of log entry is a real slap in the face after all of the work that they do.

In my opinion, every cache deserves more that that.

Checked and I have too much going on in that time period. I would not get anything donw around the ‘ranch’. Sorry.

[WStemple]

I think that would be a good idea, if the system can support it.

Forget that idea, That was a great hide! 😉

Have fun in the city!!!!

I like that cache also. I just had a cacher tell me what an evil person I was for placing that one. 👿

The sat photo option is a definite plus. Many GPS units also have that option, but it is only as good as how accurate the placement is. Sadly, we have many cachers that do a poor job of getting good coords when they place the container. Not much we can do about that.

I use a Delorme PN-60 for my caching and I can load it with 1 meter color sat photos. They help more in urban settings.

I do not have a smartphone, but rather a “dumb” phone. It is very possible to use your phone. I cache with several that use c:geo which runs on the Android phones. It is free, so that is also good.

There are a few things to be aware of with using your phone. It can be less accurate in areas where a GPS would not be. That is not always a bad thing as sometimes just getting to the general area is good enough for you to start searching. There have been times where I show that I am at GZ and my friends still show 20-30 feet to go. They have found a lot of caches with the phones though. When it comes to placing a cache, I strongly suggest not using the phone. I believe that one should use a GPS. There is always the margin of error for the cache owner and then also for the person hunting it. What ever can be done to lessen one or both will make the game more fun.

I hope that this helps answers your question(s) and welcome to this crazy game!!

Thanks for the update DeeJay. Have been waiting for this moment!!

[WStemple]

You never know who is lurking in the shadows! :LOL: :LOL:

I would suggest Never Forget GC3H6P4 It is at Fireman’s Park. I posted corrected coords and was just there with some cachers on Sat nite, also.

[WStemple]

OK. I do not have a date(s) that I know I can do these, but they look tempting. With 2 vehicles, both could be done one the same day. 22 miles one way vs 45 miles RT.

Still need to look at a calendar. I have the Pumpkin Series, Cash Bash and a couple events already in the mix. Looking to break the century mark on the Mauston run!!

Just finished reading this thread and I may take a look at this product. Does it include any samples?

I am thinking of putting together a entire series of catridges. I just spoke with the tourism coordinator down here and she is very interested in my idea

As I work through the process of building my first cartridge, I probably will be looking for some “expert” help.

[BUMP]

Got one taker….looking for anyone else to join the 2 of us.

[WStemple]

I might be in for this. I can handle 2-3 bikes inside my KIA, with wheels off.

I will check on this further before I commit.

and it IS about the numbers or why would they even maintain stats. 🙂

[WStemple]

For the WSQ, I would suggest starting with the local city/village/town. They normally have stewardship over those or can direct you to the proper people. Most property ownership questions can be started with them as they have access to the tax records.

I’ve never been caching before, but it sounds like it could be fun to try with my girlfriend. Are there ones that anybody would recommend?

If you are brave, there is one called The Proposal. 🙂
