Re: Magnets strong enough for caching
A couple of thoughts from my experiences with these. Well, three thoughts actually. 1. Almost always go for the stronger magnet. It is hard for the magnet to hold too hard, and very easy for it to not hold hard enough. As a consequence I always use rare earths. And yes, those HDD ones are excellent....

Re: Spruiking Geocaching
It should be easy to find out - just look for a cacher who does all those ones up a tree without bothering to climb it!muzza wrote:Did she say what her caching name is?

Re: Spam ... or an Oz cacher in distress?
I have received this scam message a few times from different "people".
It is also quite possible to set up emails with a different return address, so tronadoor's email account may well not be the one(s) compromised.

Re: "Computer support" phone scam
Charles Wright reported one of these scam types in the Green Guide a while back, so when I got a call I was ready. I would like to think that I would have woken up to it very quickly anyway, but I can see how people get caught. One scam involves getting you to look at a system screen on your PC wher...

And that isn't a bucket list, it is just a list of places to go in Oz.

Re: For the pedants amongst us ...
Or maybe there is a very good reason that the cache hider's language skills aren't perfect and the reviewer knows about it?

Re: Unfilled log books: Is it just me?
A long time ago people used spend long enough at the cache site to appreciate why the cache was hidden there in the first place. I think people also stayed and read what was written in the log books as well. Having listened to Dave from EcoTeam give a talk about caching in the early days, I believe...

Re: The discrepancy between the log entries and the finds online
I have recently come across a couple of reasons why logs won't reconcile - - the finders don't have a pen (despite it being in the GC requirements to mark the log, and being very clearly stated in the cache page). I had one interesting communication with a finder I contacted who clearly wasn't inter...

Re: Do GPS revievers need altering after the earthquake?
A very good question!
Unless the datum is somehow fixed on Japan (doubtful) you would think that the answer is yes!
