I created a cache where the "seeker" has to cross a stream balancing on two logs:



Have you had to overcome an obstacle(s) to access an area where there is a cache?

Has anyone thought of or mentioned combining geocaching with orienteering where people would have to run to find a designated number of hides (let's say in a 10 square mile area) in the fastest time? I guess using a digital camera to show pics of each hide would ...

... on my Treo as an adult. I totally dig on puzzle hunts. Have designed two of them for the munchkins' school with another coming this spring. John, where are you seeing the info about a NY kickoff?

... enthusiasm for the Wherigo concept has definitely worn off in the last day or two as I've looked a little closer. I haven't seen anything so far where the ratio of "fun" to "technical mumbo-jumbo, limitations and bugs" is quite high enough yet. But I'll check back in a few ...

... a 60CSx, and one of my biggest problems with it is zooming in on an cache area in the city and getting overwhelmed by nonsense icons showing me where I can get a bite to eat, take a nap, buy a purse, etc. It's New York City, I get it, there are lots of businesses nearby. I have not figured out ...

For New York Subway, I was asked to remove a link to the MTA web site. The linked page didn't sell MetroCards but it described where you could go to buy them. Luckily I was allowed to keep the link to the MTA subway map.

... I have quite enough experience with geocaching puzzles to have a favorite type yet... But I can say that in general, I really enjoy meta-puzzles (where the pieces fit together to form a whole). The old Cliff Johnson games for the Mac were pretty ground-breaking in that regard. And I try to participate ...

... It's far more of a "physically-getting-from-your-home-to-the-final" time investment than the typical Puzzle cache. I know exactly where everything is and I have yet to complete a walk-through in fewer than four hours. The instructions on the cache page are clear, and the method ...

... a find in New York, but lost the waiting game with the men in blue because he eventually had to catch his flight back to France. He took photos of where he thinks the cache spot is and has offered to email them to me, and is asking if I would allow him to log the cache despite not physically logging ...

I think I understand the Pofe joke, but why where they setting a trap for stayfloopy?

... a couple of years ago. Most definitely not a major bridge, not a terrorism target, etc. etc. etc. It's just an insignificant little span in Nowhere, Idaho that nobody cares about. http://www.fs.fed.us/r4/boise/emmett/elibrary/rainbowbridge.jpg Long story short, when the authorities became ...

... have performed at least as much maintenance on caches that aren't mine as on those that are). 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 ...
