    I think we tend to emulate fellow cachers, who's hides impress us. For me it was Laughing Terry's hides. I think a lot of my first 25 cache finds were ones placed by him.
    I think BRDad and Laughing Terry inspired me . . . I figured it was easy to hide a nano or micro, but much, much harder to come up with a clever way to hide a small or regular cache and these two guys showed me that there are ways to even hide an ammo can without resorting to piling rocks or sticks on top of them . . . and to me that is one reason I enjoy hiding larger caches . . . it's more of a challenge to come up with a tricky hide for these caches.

    Update on the cache from the cacher with no finds. There are now 5 DNF's and as one of them pointed out, the last 3 digits are the same on both coordinates. I contacted the owner with no response. We'd all like to know if we just aren't good enough for the find or if he/she made a mistake. Who were they emulating?

    I'm guessing they have a Delorme GPS have heard there is no way they can have bad coordinates.

    It's all of you with your GARMIN GPSrs, especially the old ones, who PLACED caches with bad cords, that are messing up us cachers with Delorme's Serious Tools with the good cords...

    Brdad, when is the last time you got a WAAS lock on your GPSr?

    Seems to be theme lately. A cache was published today and I went to look for it. The cache description and location are completely wrong. This hider has been around for a while so we will see what is going to happen.
    I have no enemies, but I'm intensely disliked by my friends.

    Badge of Honor Out past that other one. I wish I had the other cords listed in the cache page. I'm sure this was a screw up but I see someone else has found the problem too. Now lets see how long it takes to fix it.

    I was finally contacted by the cache owner and he said it was placed by his students and they probably made a mistake and would check on it.
