Fourth one was not right?

Is it something to do with the positions the fireworks are landing?

I would love to attend a celebration of Australian Caching. However I will be travelling in UK with my mum and sister. I will endevour to find a cache in UK on that day and sign the log for All aussie cachers! At this stage I have no idea where I will actually be on the 18th May but there are thousands of Caches in UK so the will have to be a couple nearby to choose from.

Have a good day everyone.

There are four subtleties in the pathtag design. See if you can spot them.

Help C@W, I published a second 10th Anniversary cache 10-2 Medlow Bath GA1868. But it is showing as active now, I am sure I published it for 18/5/10 but obviously I messed something up. Can you fix it?
So sorry for the extra work.
:oops:


All fixed now!

Just go to the cache page and "log this cache" and put a retracted log on it. That should put it back in draft mode.

You may also want to organise some actual events on the 1st or 2nd of May.

There is a special 10 year event cache icon to be had.

woot.
Hiding caches... this should be interesting to try without a GPSr. But firstly I need to go find out what a regular sized cache looks like...

I heartily approve of a bunch of GCA caches being hidden. Hopefully some will be around areas that I frequent!

Um, while we have no rules and stuff, you will need a GPS to hide a cache. You really don't want to use a google map or anything like that and have a dozen people set fleas upon your armpit when the cache is 100m away from where you said it would be.

Borrow a friend and their GPS and hide a cache. Please.

Oh, regular cache = http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Regular_cache

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't do that!

I've tried seeking caches set using google earth and it's nowhere near suitable a method. Please borrow a GPS or somethign before attempting to hide a cache!

Just a suggestion....Maybe the admins can adapt a similar idea to Groundspeak with the 10 year anniversary event icon but create one and all the caches that are hidden on May 18 can receive that icon instead of a traditional, multi, puzzle etc. icon.

Just an Idea! :-k

Thanks,
Camstal
