I just had a cache rejected because of the .1 mile (538 ft.) proximity rule when the reviewer determined that my cache was too close to the 2nd stage of a 4 part multi-cache (GCZRFT) How was I supposed to know? They only publish the coords ...

Central Park is geocache friendly. The Director of Operations in March 2005 asked that no listings be allowed in Strawberry Fields because that area is particularly sensitive, but was supportive of responsibly maintained caches in other areas of the park. (I got this information from New ...

It's interesting, because I myself love puzzles and am often disappointed by puzzle caches that are basically multis with virtual stages. That to me is more like simple task completion than puzzle solving (plugging numbers into an ...

I got an interesting email today. It was a little difficult to understand because although it was in English, it was written by a native French speaker. I would like to add that he did a far better job of writing in English than I ever would have in French. Nevertheless, ...

... with guns" are likely to be approved even by these alternatives, but I would venture to guess that caches that don't get approved by GC.com because they are too challenging would have a much easier time getting approved by these "old school" throwback sites. People should check ...

... I'm not sure I want to put the CPC into a situation where they have to come down officially "for" or "against" geocaching, because for the person who ultimately makes that call there isn't much upside to deciding "for". In the meantime, I'm pretty sure the CPC ...

... just got a nice email from a geocacher based in Sweden, who placed a cache in Central Park over the weekend and was denied by the NY Admin because he is not a local cacher. I (obviously) think this is a good call - I think the cacher is nice and I'm going to help him rescue a traveler or ...

... type applications, like "see which of your friends is at the bar you just walked into!"). I don't know if it's for liability, or because they plan to roll out their own navigation software, or a reason I haven't been exposed to and am not smart enough to think of on my own. I ...

Maybe "seE Y0u" is locked like this because it is available on TC? I think it's the other way around... Because groundspeak locked "seE YOu", splicingdan subsequently listed it on TC. At least, that's the way the logs and forum ...

He said that he did not know of any policy about geocaching either way, but that he contacted the CO because he felt that type of container could not remain at that location. On the cache page it seemed like he contacted groundspeak directly - just to satisy my own curiosity ...

... (or WWFMs, or etc.) and don't have a good intuition for how to find specific ones. SilverMarc's Proto Picnic is easy enough for me to find because it shows up on the first page of my "unfound caches" list, but with 25 guesses I'm not sure I'd figure out what state GeoWoodstock ...

... of an issue, that I totally understand why it was addressed, and why admins are now pretty tight-lipped on the subject of coords. But I'm posting because I think the pendulum may have swung too far against earnest and honest cachers trying to break into the game, and facing often scarce real estate. ...

... from "podcacher" and was trying to censor something that wasn't in your listing. And in the process confused the hell out of you, because only a small fraction of geocachers have ever even heard of podcacher, and that would include myself until relatively recently. For those who ...
