Metro NY Geocaching Society

... for the Mac were pretty ground-breaking in that regard. And I try to participate in Bay Area Games and BANGs when I can, and the puzzles from those events also tend to tie together to form a cohesive whole. One limitation is that there is only so much you can do within the format of a cache ...

... to find some of the others on our list and we never got to it. Queens and Staten Island I'm not sure about; I haven't seriously "cased" those areas for full frontal assaults yet.

... climbing or a rappel line that many of us would be unqualified to hunt for. The worst that can happen authority-wise to an individual in any of those situations is, basically, nothing. Contrast this with what happened on the Rainbow Bridge a couple of years ago. Most definitely not a major bridge, ...

... you, because only a small fraction of geocachers have ever even heard of podcacher, and that would include myself until relatively recently. For those who don't know, fatfredfreak has included awesome podcasts to go along with each of his hides. In the first hide, High in Central Park there was ...

... like he also hit NYC a couple of years ago, although he just signed his name in the online logs back then. No idea if he was armchair caching in those days or not. Hunh. So funny.

... placed in areas that are/were questionable, yet ignored (Trollsbane and Wheretogo? Vertigo come to mind), then I get chastised for My Monkey. For those who are interested... My Monkey You mean the High Line hasn't always been a modern public greenway filled with rainbows and unicorns? :) Trollsbane ...

... found on a plaque there. You get the idea. It should be noted that virtual caches are no longer allowed as new listings at geocaching.com. Those that you see are all several years old, and have been grandfathered in.

... is how the requirement is described. The way that TPTB used to phrase it was that caches had to require use of a GPS receiver at some point. But those who use Google Maps and other non-GPSr caching techniques are growing in number, and starting to push back on the implicit "you're not really ...

... Relief". Along with "hunter gtech" and the one Harry mentioned that was too close to the hidden final stage of another cache, those are the four that I was a spectator for. (I actually found and logged that last one - it shows up in my caching history, but I can't click through ...

... message to the AZ list is the only thing I've seen about it. Would you want to have a link to your subway sketch collection or something along those lines?

... that they've carved out, mostly involving giving permission to a few applications to accept PQ uploads (GSAK, mygeocachingprofile.com). But those are very much on a case-by-case basis and are pretty restricted. Those sites aren't allowed access to groundspeak's data themselves, for instance; ...

... of the brand name by quite some time. There are sister opencaching sites in Europe and other places (opencaching.de, etc.). Worth checking out for those who haven't already.

Wanted to let folks know about an event in NYC on April 30th called DASH. It's not specifically geocaching-related, but for those who like geo-puzzles I think it will be a lot of fun. And I think there will be a fair number of nearby geocachers in attendance... It's a puzzle hunt taking ...

... at about 70th. Pier i is more casual and has a lot of outdoor seating - probably a better fit for the troop. We bring the kids there. Other than those places I'm not 100% sure about bathrooms, except that as a Manhattan public park I know that they are sprinkled throughout. There are definitely ...

Hmm... Thanks very much for posting that. I thought I had found all of the midtown caches (POPS or otherwise) and I don't recognize those photos at all. They do look like they could be from a POPS-like space, the second photo in particular. But I still can't figure out which cache it would ...
