... required some deduction. Here's what I gather... The cacher was looking for Snug as a Bug in Central Park , our first hide. Although the GPSr was being difficult, he thinks he found the hiding spot - but there were three policemen nearby and he dared not put the cache at risk. He was hoping to ...

Pofe publishes on Thursdays (and sometimes Wednesdays). She's a good reviewer, but don't expect anything faster. Hmm... Are you being deliberately misleading..? I had heard rumors of Pofe's identity and wouldn't have used the same pronoun... I've been working on a bunch of Harry-Andy ...

... suspect that some of the physical limitations the phone faces due to the size of the unit (as compared with the size of the 60csx or Colorado) are being well-compensated for via the cellular corrections. I guess it is worth noting that the last iPhone had cellular-based location gimmicks that did ...

... was archived by NY Admin for inactivity, that might affect perception - Logg Inn was a generally healthy cache (only disabled once, right before being archived) while Fear had a spottier maintenance history - splicingdan is not groundspeak's favorite son, so they may prefer just quietly closing ...

... valid (it's possible that it's not - commodity metals have moved around a bit in the past four months), that gets us to about the halfway point on being able to place our minting order. I have approached four of the sister geocaching organizations close to us - LIGO (Long Island), SJG (South Jersey), ...

... Is it "fair" if the CO gives a friend the coords to a cache before it's published? Or let's say the friend signs the log AS the cache is being placed? As someone who engages in the sport of FTF hunting, I don't really consider myself competing with people who find the cache before it ...

... people know that the cache has been claimed. I think it's a fair and sporting thing to do. (I've even gone so far as emailing other cachers after being STF on a cache which is taking the FTF a while to log online - since I like to wait for the FTF to post first, other hounds don't have any other ...

... have been honestly trying to be helpful. I've replaced more than one cache container, for more than one CO, in my day, and I didn't think I was being a bad guy (although I never did it after failing to find the cache in the first place, and then claiming it as a find). But as far as the people ...

... comparable, only that NYA doesn't always get New York's security concerns right on the first go-around). In this case despite the cache certainly being no closer to the UN building than "Malli's Secret Picnic Spot", the CO didn't think that it was worth arguing about and worked on other ...

... any puzzle cache or even regular caches that require the use of the Internet to find answers. that's one of the things I LIKE about puzzle caches, being able to work on those puzzles on rainy days, sleepless nights, or even downtime at work keeps me connected to caching when I can't actually be ...

Will I be able to find a lot of the caches in that area without being out of sight of the bike? You should be able to. Most of the caches are pretty close to a path - although I'm not sure how bike-able all of the paths are. You might wind up carrying the ...

... look. Right now we're using 15 and 30, but those are "beta" thresholds - we may change them in the future. Also, right now the tags are being provided as gifts, but it's possible that in the future we may ask people to chip in a couple of dollars for their tags. It's hard for us to say, ...

... not, but you never know. (I know the caches that were placed on canal bridges in Brooklyn a couple of years ago got listed on Terracaching after being retracted by NYA.) If the owner doesn't get back to you within a couple of weeks I think you can safely get rid of it / recycle it / etc. And ...

... for the balance of their remaining duration. Thank you for your participation, cooperation, patience, and involvement in this community. That being said, if there is interest in either assuming the site, or being part of a community that assumes control and development of the site, email scotto@terracaching.com. ...

At some point a couple of years ago, it seems that TPTB banished 'FTF curse' caches. It had to do with the quality of the caches that were being submitted as a result of the 'requirement' of the find. The relevant current part of the guidelines reads: Cache pages cannot require, and should ...
