Chinagraph pencils are more like writing witha crayon. they are hard to keep a fine point on. I have two( 1 black one white) in the car for emergenecy use ,as they will write on just about everything. however they do not sign logs that well. I have had ,and lost while geocaching, a few pens that i t...

Here is an idea.... any coins/cash found or picked up during a cache hunt, or even from the cache itself ( verboten) could go into a jar,and every now and then donate thet total to the support of the game. I've ben collecting the coins i find on the street, or in cache containers for a couple of mon...

this is a responce to the thread in general.... it sounds like this suggestion is to standardize and take the creativity out of this sport, even more than it already has. why not just go back to using GCnnnn and GAnnnn codes in your cache names. do not allow anyone to call their hide anything other ...

Sometimes standing and shouting "Have you found it yet?" keeps even stealthy geocachers at bay! :P ! Most times when i have been questioned, not that it happens that often... I recruit them into helping me ,if they want. mosttimes they help out,and have some fun.other times they all of a sudden have...

I'd suggest you get a data monitor/counting tool that suits your platform, and switch that on so you can see for your self how much data you are...

If you happen to meet other geocachers "on the trails" it can be worth a smilie to stop and say hi! http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0738 Spotto! Spotto is a GCA locationless that you can log as many times as you like. the only rule is the meeting must be coincidental, not a pre arranged meeting or ...

Whilst the android tablets are great for most things, our brethren have found you get stuck when you rely on a table t for mobile caching, so far we have not found any way to transfer waypoint data from Android versions of apps to the garmin range of GPs we own. there seems to be something for bluet...

I too await someone to hide a munzee in my area. i have been busy placing some,and a few people have found some of them,but ,like all these games, leeching is more popular than supporting the game and placing one. given how easy it is to hide a munzee I'm surprised ther arent many more out there. an...

I have intel from a secret source that a new alien hybrid has recently been captured and is currently under interrogation b...
