Re: Carrying Guns While Geocaching

No wonder so many people die in the US due to firearms ... that's so weird carrying guns around. And yet my brother lives in Maine in the US -- where everyone carries guns around (and my brother even has a 'concealed weapon permit') -- and the murder rate there is one of the lowest in the US. It's ...

Re: Personal travel bugs & geocoins

I've noticed that some cachers have geocoins, or travel bugs (or even travel bug nametags) that they dip into each cache they find. I understand that the reason for this might be to track distances or something. My question is, ...

Re: Courteous Cacher
