Re: Is it just me?

For what it is worth, I am now back to using my old Garmin HCX, which has a name limit of 14 characters. Hence any similarly named caches come up Abcdefghi01, Abcdefghi02, etc, using GSAK. I suspect that if I used a Groundspeak download, it would overwrite each preceding similar name so that I may ...

Got a smart phone? Usually that is a good way to go for a while before you invest $200 in something you...

Re: Is it just me?

Wow, I didnt realise this was frowned upon so much. If this is such an issue I am happy to remove all my hides and I will leave it at that. Would have been nice to recieve an email personally advising that my naming conventions were not liked personally rather than in a forum which ive only recentl...

Re: Streaking...

It's a form of madness isn't it? All thanks to this cache and its lesser brothers (10-90). Sydneys 100 Caching days in a row streak challenge Am in the home straight now though. But when to stop??? When it stops being fun. I think I got to 137 and on a rainy winter's night, tired from work I just g...

Re: "Throwdown" or "angel cache"?

I just feel bad about it for some reason. We've only been caching for just on 12 months now so very much aware that we are still the new kids on the block, and don't want anyone to look badly on us. There is a definite (and erroneous) stigma against a NA log. If your log is well written, polite and...

Re: Your geocaching goals 2013

Half the time you don't know if they are unloved or muggled as so many don't seem to log DNFs. This isn't true of the more remote caches but when there's one near other caches that are regularly found and then this one stops being found you suspect something is up. I am thinking of my own caches he...

Wow to both of you!! =D> =D> =D> \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ Living in suburban Melbourne means that most caches don't get anywhere near the 6 months unloved so we have to go searching much further afield now if we want to add onto our total :-) All of my big ones (2 years+) have been remote bush caches.

Re: Your geocaching goals 2013

4. Continue to tackle the unloved challenge (we were at 3710 days last time I checked so a bit of a way to go!) What is that? Getting enough "unloved" caches - ie caches that havent been found for at least the previous 6 months to qualify to find/log this cache ... http://www.geocaching.com/seek/ca...
