The period for nominating NCGO officers has begun and runs through the end of the month. As people are nominated and accept, we'll list their names on the...
Kudos to the following western NC cachers who hit milestones recently: hammerjane -- 2800 OzGuff -- 2500 Silver Dragon 2200 gotro&hc -- 2000 TeamGabe -- 1800 ...
I read this on the Groundspeak forums and pasted it here for your consideration: ****************************** Dangers of Geocaching in and around Electrical...
Good advice! I myself have been involved in a potentially fatal electrical accident. Electricity is definitely a force to be respected and never taken lightly....
I must agree. I too have felt the jolts (like a sledgehammer), heard the "booms" (like a shotgun in a barrel), and have seen a man burned on every inch of his...
Just a reminder -- 9am to noon. Bring work gloves and your lunch. And anything else you think might be helpful!) If everyone shows we will be about two dozen...

Where are all the TBs that show up on the cache page, but when you go to the cache, they are not there??? I'm talking about caches that haven't been found in...
Congrats to everyone on their milestones. We are going to try to get the 3,000th milestone this next weekend for Hammerjane during a trip to Virginia. This...
Which caches are you talking about? There are a number of caches in the area that are still in decent/good condition but that the owners are no longer active...
Here's a list of caches with the name of the TB missing. GCM40E TB Hawaii Globetrotter placed 11/1/05 GCGB8T TB Loob placed 1/28/06 TB Driving Miss Marilyn...
I checked on the TBS Silver Dragon mentioned. Some of them have been missing for 6+ months! I suppose this highlights that cache owners should do a better job...
Hey, As a cache owner I have several comments....first unless someone states that a certain bug is not in my cache, there is really no way of knowing that a...
I agree with TEAMGABE about the salience of TB issue but want to add a few things. It is not reasonable to expect cache owners to monitor errant travel bugs....
Wow! I think Silver Dragon (and possibly I) have opened a can of worms! I sure wasn't proposing that all cache owners need to physically check their caches for...
Well, after reading these, I would have to agree with HC. Travel bugs are just like anything else in a cache. Its up to the visitors of the cache to keep up...
If I read this correctly, then the general concensus is that the cache owners don't have any responsibility to keep up with TBs even if they are showing up in...
This is only a game played by adults with some high tech toys. Lighten up and dont lecture people if you dont want them to go on the Defensive. I realize...
Lecture or not. The original post was asking if anyone else was noticing the missing TBs and what was happening to them. I didn't ask for the other stuff. We...
I think we can all agree we have different commitment levels. How committed are we to maintaining our own or someone elses caches, how committed we are to...
I've been a lurker here for a long time, mostly because Yahoo mail is not my primary email and I don't check it regularly. ANYWAY... time for me to pipe up and...
As I was working on a cache I just got published, I got to thinking about the subject of virtual caches. As we all know, the decision has been handed down from...
I'd like to solicit comments from CyFi and anyone else who might have one of the new generation of GPSr, about what they're like, how much better they are, ...
The Powers That Be have decided that a physical logbook is a requirement for a GC.com listed geocache. That precludes virtuals, codeword caches, photo logs,...
Cyfi and I hid a cache last weekend after the CITo event at Gorges State Park. We were standing under a heavy canopy right next to a tall rock face. He turned...
Do you know the reasoning behind this restriction? - JR ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has...
CyFi does have a new Garmin 60CSx. I have a 60CS. When we have been caching since he got it, he always has a quicker signal and better accuracy. One day, we...
