Hi, The young girl missing after meeting a man she met on Facebook has been found dead in the area where "The Black Hole" cache is.

We used to use UTM all the time in the Good Old Days(tm), i.e. in the days before GPSrs had maps on them. We noticed that the Sydways street directory had numbers on the grid that were the last few digits of the UTM coords, meaning that we could get the coords of the next waypoint of a multi or a p...

You want to see a flame war? Go to the groundspeak forum and start a thread saying you think people shouldn't carry guns while caching! :-" I follow a couple of hiking forums in the US and the flame wars that go on over guns is just beyond belief. Trust me this place is very civil compared to other...

...its seems that this area in parts illegal crops are grown... How little things have changed. Some 20+ years ago some guys I knew found a crop growing in the scrub on the other side of the creek from that cache. Lets just say a few garbage bags later and they were going through a lot of munchies....

Any chance of getting it on YouTube or similar? When I clicked on the main video link it told me I had to be a member so was just about to exit when I thought I would try the link at lower left. Yes, a copy on youtube would be nice as Facebook didn't like the version of flash I am running on 64 bit...

Just so my position is clear.

Looks like an interesting challenge.

Dropped my mobile phone while placing a cache once. Had to go back several hours later and locate it via the ring the phone and listen method. My sometime caching buddy left his very smelly cycling gloves inside a cache once. Took him a couple of minutes and lots of bad words to work out where he ha...

Well it's that time of year again and they seem to be out in force at the moment. I am now up to sighting number 5 in the last month. A Brown and Black snake in the Royal National Park, a Brown and Tiger in the Blue Mountains and a Black in the short grass right next to a local mtb singletrack. Let ...

As mentioned in previous posts, *YOU* can archive it. The Trigs have been set up in such a way that any memmber can edit the listing. Just post an 'Archived' log on it explaining why, just as you have here, and then it gets taken off the list. Also, as mentioned in the cache listing: Please respect...
