Sounds like my grandfather's axe ... I've replaced the handle and I've replaced the head but I still have my grandfather's axe.

I've been reading this thread (and the other older thread on the same topic) with interest. I only have one question .... what are you doing about it? Have you ever provided feedback to a hide by a new cacher? Have you told them about what you really like about their hide? (location, actual hiding p...

Yeah but when they fall out of your backpack on the way to or from a cache, is no good either. :roll:

I like that quote at the end ... Nerds with a tan. <p>

Interesting article. As a non-Sydneysider I wouldn't have known it was published. Thanks for the link.

Great podcast.

As a newbie, I found information in there that I hadn't considered and some better ways of doing things that I hadn't thought of.

Thanks for putting it together.

Opps... didn't mean to start a something :roll: <p> I guess it depends on how everyone wants to play the game. I agree you physically need to be at the site and be able to open the cache. I suspect it depends on how many hoops the hider wants you to 'jump through' to open the cache. If the cache is ...

Thanks for all the advice. We 'located' it on the way home from holidays (as you might have guessed from my GC profile :) ) so I'm not sure when we'll get back there for another attempt. I've altered my log for that cache to reflect a DNF, although have noted that I could see the container confirmin...

Basically, I couldn't get my fingers in around the container far enough to remove it and I didn't have the...
