Security guard told me the bomb squad had been called in in this cache sometime in the last 6 or 7 days, the entire street had been blocked off, and the micro was disposed of. **CO should archive this one.**

NY Admin archived it.

... wont to say Hi this Saturday around 2 pm in Central Park Near The Mall , its a limit to twenty people before i need a permit so i hope whe should be more than Two See yaa smiley If you have Tbs i can take them to Sweden if you wont tooo :) I Hope to ,seee alot of Geocachers from all over ...

I'm planning to run it. How many other 60+ runners will be there, I wonder? Should I stop for any caches along the way or run for time? At least now I can mix my newfound hobby with a renewed motivation for training.

... down the pike... I'm submitting it for approval in a few minutes; depending on the back-and-forth with NY Admin (and NY Admin's schedule) it should show up in a day or two. Your sneak peak for being a part of the NY Metro Area GC Society is that it's a subway theme... This is also a good ...

... outsiders) nature of building identification in the area. It's pretty cool, and although it's got some slight puzzle-ness to it, it's nothing that should give anyone a heart attack. They make pretty clever use of materials for the physical stage clues that I suspect will prove to be more muggle-proof ...

... came back to me and said that the school has a budget for stuff like this and the school-buying-stuff-person wanted to know what GPSr model they should get. Any suggestions for a GPSr that would be appropriate for this use? I'm thinking kid-friendliness and cost are both going to be salient issues. ...

... 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 out terracaching.com and navicache.com and see if there's something there that they like. C-Ville, I'm intrigued by your cache ideas that ...

... additional waypoints for nearby public transportation, it could get super cluttering for those who download pocket queries. Maybe the Metro group should hide a simple cache, and for that cache include a waypoint for each of the subway stops (etc.) in the system... Visitors could download that ...

A lot of you have done my Fathers Day Fire Cache, and it's killing me that it's a nano...What I want to get is some input on whether I should make this a large cache again. Great news on this front! I saw spungebob's note earlier today: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=dc262ec4-efb2-4a2b-8d45-90d924023e46

... same time, I think most folks would appreciate getting the heads up if there was a WWFM event closer to them that they didn't know about. Maybe we should advertise Red5's event here, and see if he minds if we make a cross posting on the LIGO boards for the Flushing Meadow event? I'd rather start ...

... unit, what's up with that? According to the SDK agreement, it looks like Apple doesn't want you using 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, ...

... I am not sure I agree. The final word on the matter was the Admin telling the new cacher that if he's having trouble with another cache, he should go find it. Maybe it's just me, but if I had gotten that response, I too would have been frustrated. Or are there caches that have been rejected ...

... is fair, but I think that there are certainly solutions. I have a protective arm band I slip my iPhone into for running that provides some padding should the phone be dropped, a protective plastic window for the screen that still allows touch screen inputs, and can be attached with a strap to your ...

... - it was according to my own definition of the types of caches I like to hunt. There's no reason someone trying to keep a particular radius clear should be including caches from neighborhoods (s)he doesn't feel comfortable in. Just make a judgment about the cache when you first check it out and ...
