Congratulations to bsatroop309 on his 2000 find which was Police no, Parks yes (GC4QPMM) in Queens, NY

... As another way of celebrating Star Wars Day this year, we will have a limited number of trackable lightsaber coins available for sale. The coins, which will be in the shape of a lightsaber, will represent both sides of the Force. The front of the coin is blue, representing the Jedis (Obi-Wan Kenobi, ...

I have the 305 which I've used primarily for running and cycling but I find it an effective tool for recording all my tracks for my days when I geocache. I usually hike out to Pelham Bay Park but drive to Van Cortlandt park. I use ...

... 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 of Groundspeak . It would be unofficial of course but challenging and fun no less?

... but nobody, cares about. They treat these situations as humorlessly as they would someone waving a plastic gun near the presidential motorcade - which is to say with maximum response and zero risk. And so regardless of how challenging (or easy) a cache is, the admins want to steer clear of those ...

regardless either the current method or your suggested method requires at least two hikes out to the hide... which I guess is part of the hazard of being an owner now that I think more about it. Yeah, I think you're right. If you unknowingly submit a cache that conflicts with ...

... ; that looks like a decent place to start for at least the northern part of the preserve. If you go I suggest you take your friend to GC1401W , which is a traditional but has the coordinates for a companion cache in California - trading those coords with a West Coast cacher should ultimately ...

... silver) That leaves us with a handful of coins we can offer to folks at events. We project a surplus of about $200 or so from the coin sale, of which about $100 will go to Tatanka49 to reimburse him for the Metro banner, and I'll use the other $100 to buy mailing supplies (we already collected ...

... the five boroughs, paying tribute to New York's role in the American Revolution. Phase 1 is set in Lower Manhattan. Crossroads of the World which is in Times Square and is the archetypal urban micro passed by thousands and thousands of muggles every hour without realizing it. There's a webcam ...

We'll be doing Central Park, which I believe is New York county. We're staying at a friends on Staten Island, which, if I'm not mistaken, is Richmond County. So that leaves Kings and Queens county? If I look at a map right, I believe we ...

... some of this. The main thing being that the listing has been vexed with problems from the start. The hider is new and has no hides or finds, which is always a reason to exercise care. The coordinates have been an issue, and the ultimately published coordinates being inside the zoo may have ...

... 'required'), and that was 2 1/2 years ago (May '07). So he reworked the puzzle to include a waypoint projection. Same thing with Seneca Village, which was October 2007. One thing that might be changing is how the requirement is described. The way that TPTB used to phrase it was that caches had ...

... how they are listed / coded / etc. on the site. The reason I am bringing it up now is that I while I was screwing around I turned up this icon, which AFAIK hasn't been officially announced by groundspeak anywhere: http://www.geocaching.com/souvenir/default.aspx?id=155 The long and the short ...

... is that your site has a lot of free admission available. Working against you is that most of that free admission is from October through March, which is now in the rear-view window (or far off in the horizon). It's certainly possible, but realistically it could go either way. The best advice ...
