Metro NY Geocaching Society

Thank you for the nominations. I was impressed to be nominated with some well known cachers. Some of them I have only heard of by reputation while others I have been lucky enough to meet.

... We could also trade pathtags if possible The event is limited to 20 under local ordinance, but we'd be delighted to meet even a few of you while we are there. Any other geocaching tourists will also be most welcome to join us for a short chat.

... that you designed an elegant puzzle with clever hints to the solution. Anyone can design an impossible puzzle - keep people busy for a few hours while delivering a satisfying solve, that's the mark of nice construction. I liked it anyway!

... decision to list it as a Puzzle cache or a Multi cache and ultimately (after conferring with a few cachers I respect in the area) concluded that while the cache has attributes of both, a Multi cache probably better advertises that earning a smiley requires visiting a number of different locations. ...

... the cache was missing. I was going to email the owner about it, but noticed that the owner didn't live in the area and had dropped the cache off while in town for a convention or event of some sort. It surprised me a little, as the cache was only a couple of months old. In fairness the CO is ...

... if you can figure out how to get to the cache pages). I went on a Prospect Park run at some point during 2007 and looked for a bit for seE Y0u while I was in the neighborhood but didn't come up with it. I had heard the stories about splicingdan maintaining the cache even after it had been archived, ...

So here's an issue that's cropped up lately that while I understand the background, IMHO it could be handled in a less frustrating manner for new cachers. Apologies in advance for the length; I didn't realize how long it was until I previewed the ...

I think SilverMarc infected my computer with a virus that alerts him whenever I book a trip online, so that he can schedule his Picnics while I'm out of town!

... We are planning to order a run of 250 coins, comprised of two finishes. Anyone on God's Good Earth may order the coin finished in antique silver, while only members of Metro NY GS qualify to order the coin in antique gold (obviously members may also order silver coins as well). All coins *will* ...

... caches (the kind that require you to complete a particular matrix of cache types before you can attempt the final). It's pretty nice, and while I was poking around this morning I was surprised to discover that the site is run by our own Brainzane and Yossface! Pretty cool. Go check it ...

... bulk of what I could get to without a car, my finds really slowed down and I realized that a lot of numerical milestones were going to take me a while. I noticed the other day that I seem to be spending more time maintaining my hides than finding new caches - and I only have six active listings! ...
