Last Week..
GC378A3 - Soar Valley View #2 by PlasmaWave. A hint from the owner helped with this find.
Something we saw on Facebook....a post by cacher Geo-Myck
So has anyone else been wondering what to do with your now redundant tax disc holder ? As I find that Car TB's are so small and not easily spotted I thought that using the tax disc may help people notice them.
The GCDocs Doctor Who Geocache project hit its target and then some, on Kickstarter. With a goal of $200, so far the project has exceeded that by raising $341. This is going to be an amazing Geocache.
2 worlds of GEEKERY combine... DOCTOR WHO and GEOCACHING! Plans for an out of this world geocache hidden inside a 6 foot Tardis!

In answer to your question, it's not what I wear it's just i posses a strange ability to attract **** ***** you think the logs you read were bad try looking at my log for GC4J85W
GC4J85W - Somercotes Miners Memorial by Alfreton Divers
OMG what a find this turned out to be, has to rank as 1 of my most memorable finds, EVIL EVIL EVIL my 3rd time at looking but I must admit to not logging DNF'S as they've been 5 min looks on the way home from work, but that's just the beginning of the tale!
Arrived at GZ shortly after 6am for another quick search before home, I eventually stumbled across the cache this time with bleary eyes and a sleep deprived brain yay! Got in to it signed the log ML to save space, but then dropped half the bugger on the ground so a new search began for that, but it was a little dark still and clever me remembered I had a torch in the car so off I went to fetch it, I knew this was going to be a hands and knees job! So there I was on all 4s when I heard a voice behind me "every thing ok sir" oops I was bang to rights, yup it was the police, old bill or what ever else you want to call them. So a lengthy explanation was called for, phone app was shown so was the log and half a cache, I got 1 of those funny looks non caches give you and on there merry way they went, by this stage I felt I had to give up my search so on returning home emailed the owners who have since found the missing piece :-) now people say hi vis vests make excellent urban camo, mmmmmmmmmm this time I think it may have given the game away! Thanks for a truly memorable experience and for that reason alone I'm awarding this cache a favourite point.

I think Amy told you to pack a lunch when the Brits invade Texas because you can't buy Marmite there.
So, here's our new tactic. We send in the Marmite first. It's a divide and conquer strategy. Once they're so confused by it they are fighting amongst themselves, in we swoop.
Nemesis Geocaches..
From Redbeard4570
My nemesis cache! GC31BMK. Hays, Kansas, USA. Here is my found posting. It says it best. Well, well, well. Was my face red. I've looked for this one a total of 4 times. With a total of 4 extra sets of eyes. Over a years time. So that fact alone is good reason to be red faced. But add in the fact that I have a hide using the SAME CONTAINER, well, that's red face X4!!! LOL!!! Finally, success and another number in my found list! T4T$ SL :)
I'm sure every cacher has a nemesis cache. Just getting them to admit it is the trick!
We discover a tool that may help you with DNF's. We all know that DNF's are caused by someone blocking your GPSr device. What we all need is a GPS Jamming Detector (from gpstracklog.com)
The creation and development of the Signal Sentry 1000 was prompted by the prevalence and accessibility of GPS spoofing devices via the internet and other sources. Such devices can be acquired for relatively low-costs, increasing the risks associated with signal disruption and corruption.
Dumb Things Geocachers Do..
Expect others to go at their pace. Log slow or fast, why get frustrated by people who don't do it the way you do?
FTF hounds who claim it because there wasn't an online log, or expect others to have logged their find immediately to save them the journey.
Ask Doctor D..
From: The Monkey King
Are cache reviewers always the right people to review caches? Should caches be reviewed?
