Metro NY Geocaching Society

I think setting up a photo gallery is a great idea. I also think that setting up something that can help geotag photos would be great as well.

1. Should we have meetings? Yes B. How often? Once a month. C. Where? The location should rotate and be someplace convenient to everyone, IE near mass transit and with parking 2. Should we incorporate? tax exempt? In order to answer this we need to have a mission. 3. Should we keep track of your mem...

By geotag, do you mean linking the photo back to the associated cache page or showing geographically where the photo was taken or something else? Flicker has rolled out something that can show where your photo was taken by showing its location on a map. Tried it quickly myself with little luck. For...

I've got a Kodak Easyshare 650 or something like that. While it gets the job done, I'd prefer to have a DSLR. But, until I win the lotto, I'm going to have to stick with this.

Urban Caching is nothing like Rural Caching. Before I moved to the city, I used to just go wander around in the woods and never see anyone, now wherever I go there's about 100 people just milling about let alone passing by. The other day I was wandering through central park introducing a friend of m...

So while searching for a cache over the past summer, I went to an area that is just full of trash. While I was there I thought, "hmmm.... this place should be cleaned up." But at the time I was busy and even though I carried out a lot of trash, there was still a lot more left. Then I got t...

I think that hauling the trash away is really the main problem. But, if we're in a city park, then I'm sure they'll have a way to haul away the trash. As for fellowship, all that is needed is a grill, a grill master, and a lot of picnic tables and you've got a party. Maybe having some contests durin...

I just shot ATP an email asking if they had a US retailer. Hopefully they will get back to me and let me know. That little guy is neat!

I just shot ATP an email asking if they had a US retailer. Hopefully they will get back to me and let me know. That little guy is neat! From ATP: "Thank you very much for your inquiry. We expect to initially have the Photo Finder available at select retailers such as Costco.com within a few we...

I've been thinking about planning a bike trip out to there to do 1776 Phase 2 British Juggernaut-Revolutionary War (GC12PCB) and hit a few of the other caches while there. And that got me thinking, "Maybe I should plan it as an event cache. We can all meet at the Staten Island Ferry terminal an...

So it would seem that EV 11 Serenity (GCYB09) has gone missing for some time and has been archived. This makes East Village Garden Tour (GCZHHH) unachievable. Has anyone been in contact with EastVillageFamily lately? I know when buttaskotch and I originally went searching for Serenity I emailed him ...

So I have created an event cache, Staten Island Caching by Bike (GC18RJ3), for April 26th, 2008. I'm hoping to get out there and bike around the island doing some caching and I think it'd be great to have some people to go with. Like Tatanka49 said, there's a lot of caching to be done there but no o...

sadly, i can't make the biking part of it an event cache. i'm going to have to do some more research about the island and figure out a good time and place to do lunch.

Does anyone have any information about Wolfe's Pond Park (N 40° 31.097 W 074° 11.357)? Specifically where the BBQ area's might be? I'm looking at doing an event out on Staten Island, as mentioned above, and I want to find a good location where lunch can happen for everyone who wants to come and this...

On the cache page for the short lived Sakura Park Cache, GC14HQM, I had blatantly just copied and pasted from the NYC Parks website their park description and NY Admin published it. In this instance I think he's being over zealous.........
