Metro NY Geocaching Society

Had my 1st FTF today "Urban Cache" in the Bronx - really neat hiding place!

... them if they could find it if they were in the vicinity and interested. That's the only way I can find out if what I think is a clever hide is really as clever as I think. Wonder if we could have a sub-forum here on this site for us locals to post caches which don't meet the strict guidelines ...

... with, the kind that carry guns. And I think that as a caching community, as interesting and unthreatening and cache-worthy as we find bridges, we really have no true conception of how sensitive "admins with guns" treat even the most minor bridges. It's not even remotely similar to a ...

... your iPhone to replace your Garmin. But it should still technically be feasible, and they demoed their Google Maps app doing geo-caching, so it's really a matter of intended use. Apple, apparently, doesn't want the device to be used that way -- but at the end of the day it may just be a contract ...

Third year in a row I'll be out of town for the event. Actually the fourth, but I wasn't really caching in 2005 so didn't know about it. (Sigh).

... logs only have one find to their credit. But they each emailed my brother with the secret pass phrase in the cache, so we're pretty confident they really did visit. ETA - you'll have to pan out quite a bit on the Google Map to get a sense for where this thing is...

We are ready to start taking pre-orders for our first geocoin! Artwork attached (you can thank childofatom for the design) - I think it looks really cool. Click here . For link to ongoing coin ordering poll. We are planning to order a run of 250 coins, comprised of two finishes. Anyone on God's ...

... was approached by an officer, who basically said - look, we know what you're doing, we know about all of the card rooms in the city. But we don't really care. What we care about is the bad stuff that sometimes seems to come along with the card rooms - the loan sharking, the loitering and bothering ...

... watched the cache in the interim got emailed the solution to the puzzle. Don't know that there's anything practical to do about this - you can't really control when the reviewer pushes the button on a cache. But thought it was an interesting-enough glitch for puzzle/multi hiders to mention.

I think it's a great idea. At first I didn't really see the point, since groundspeak has tons of options. But even just thinking about your first idea (closest subway line) I can immediately see why we might have use for some urban-centric ratings and attributes.

... county" = okay for a challenge cache, "Find these four caches to pick up clues" = not okay for a challenge cache). But it doesn't really matter that it's not technically a challenge cache - you can still run it the way that you're envisioning it; there are plenty of other examples ...

... of messed up, actually, because people who found the original APE container lost the icon when it was un-archived and switched over. They hadn't really thought through all of the implications of decisions like that back then.) Mission 7: Crab Creek (GCEF7) was just a couple hundred miles away ...

... the word to others who might be interested (they don't have to be geocachers - anyone with a good sense of adventure will love this). It will be really fun. http://www.playdash.org/DASH5/New-York-NY Brett PS - If you're interested in volunteering on May 18th rather than playing, that is totally ...
