Geocaching Dopers show me the power of the Dope!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I’m in a Travel Bug race with a bunch of friends from work and I need your help to win! This is my TB and it’s currently in Pennsylvania in Ghost Town Trail # 2 Cache What I’d like to do is beat the pants off the other racers! :smiley: so if you live near the cache and can move it in a westerly direction (the farther the better!) I would be forever in you debt. :dubious:

Isn’t that … umm… cheating?

3

I don’t think so…

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Geocacher in Colorado here, which is on the way. Get it here and I’ll move it further for you if possible :slight_smile:

5

You’re damn lucky I do go get it myself just for the Mustang! :wink: I’d like to help you out but the best I could do is move it further to the south here in Maryland and I’m sure you don’t want that now do you?

6

Well maybe if you could get it to the airport! :wink: I own a big one almost like it except for the convertible part, same color and everything. :cool:

7

Call me a dumbass but…what the heck is Geocaching?

8

High tech treasure hunting with a GPS. This explains it pretty well.

Hey, that’s kinda cool. I just did a search for fun to see if there are any near men, and there is one across the street (and maybe in) the hospital I use to work at, less than am ile from my place!

I just learned this morning that the cache will be buried in the snow very soon making finding it near to impossible! :eek: I really don’t want to wait till spring thaw to see movement. So if you live nearby and don’t mind a round trip hike of 2 miles…

Hey! it’ll be good for ya! :smiley:

Thanks in advance,

Arizona / Connecticut Geocacher here and I think what you are proposing is not necessarily cheating but certainly bending the rules in your favor.

I was on a great hunt recently to a new cach in Rhode Island, when I got to the site with my wife I noticed it wasn’t there. THEN I started doing a circular pattern around the site to see if some unsuspecting newbe moved it… Nope…So we gave up and headed back.

My point is, geocaching is so fun because there is a certain amount of competitive edge involved. And When that is swayed in someone elses favor it loses it’s appeal…

That said:

So I’ll make a special trip to PA just to grab the new stash…C-ya!
Just kidding. :slight_smile:

I thought we were talking about geocaching, not a dating service. :wink:
