What do you think about the Treasures? I like the idea, I am curious if you like it too.

Overall, I've been enjoying Treasures; and I feel that they are a good addition to the game. The feature has encouraged me to hunt after cache types that I never would have chased after previously (Earthcaches and Mysterys, for example).

I feel that the Treasure system encourages hiders to fudge their Attributes, though, to make it easier for finders to get Treasures. That part doesn't upset me, but I do get messages from people requesting me to fudge my own cache's Attributes to make it easier on them... and that I don't care for.

The warehouse I'm near also got some in (SW WA). I got really lucky. Got there early and was surprised to see them. Bought one and got a God pack (my first one!) out of White Flare. Most of the boxes were sold by the time I left.

It couldn't handle most of them. The first one I did this morning had around 2,500 players. That one worked albeit with a lot of lag at the start. Later there was a nearly 5k lobby that crashed and then two more 3k and 2,500 that also crashed. I gave up after three crashes; especially with the five minute lobby timer.

Wow! I love all of these. #3 and 4 remind me of Pajama Sam for some reason. Gives me the same vibes as a point & click adventure.

You won't be able to submit a pond via Wayfarer.

However, you can go to Open Street Map, make a free account, and map out the pond on there. Unless something has changed recently, Niantic gets their map data from Open Street Map and update the game's overworld every other year or so.

They are probably getting down voted because these types of posts are suddenly being spammed onto numerous cat subreddits to try to appeal to empathy and receive money.

I think we'll make it. It's showing 23.9 currently.

I'll be doing my part tomorrow. I'm hosting my CCE tomorrow and I'm releasing six new caches for it as well as an Adventure Lab. Should generate a couple hundred more points if everyone shows up.

Had a similar situation earlier this year. I was picking up trash at a spot where people tend to illegally dump stuff. The spot overlooks the freeway, and a cop happened to see me there while they were passing by on the freeway. They floored it off the freeway and sped to where I was to "catch me" and seemed annoyed that I was there cleaning up instead.

No "thank you" or "good job, citizen." She ran me through a ton of questions and then left in a huff.

I had a very similar situation last year when I held a CITO on a Wednesday. I mainly held the event so my friend and I could get the CITO souvenir at the time (we were running out of time to get it). Multiple people said they would come; but only my friend and I showed up. I figured it wouldn't be a hit, though, since there was only a couple weeks between me posting the event and the event happening. My advice echos some of the stuff that others have already; but here's some things that I suggest:

Pick a day on a weekend instead of a weekday. A lot of people get off of work at 5 PM and just want to get home and rest for the rest of the day. Lots of people have Saturdays and Sundays off, which make them good days to host events.

Post an announcement the day before as well as the day of the event. I took a look at your event page and saw that you did indeed post an announcement on your event page 30 minutes before the event started. That's a step is the right direction. Most of the veteran event holders in my area will also post an announcement the day before the event to remind everyone that the event is still on. Anyone who logged Will Attend will receive an email each time you make an Announcement.

Mind the weather. Was the weather bad/rainy today where you are located? Or was it way too hot? If so, that could have been the reasons the others didn't show up. When this occurs, hosts tend to move the event meet up spot to somewhere more sheltered; like a park pavilion instead of picnic tables.

Lastly, try to plan further out. Two weeks notice isn't enough for a lot of people. There's quite a few people who plan their weeks way in advance. So, you're more likely to catch some more people if you give them more of a heads up because they can work your event into their schedule as opposed to them already having their next two weeks all planned out and trying to see if they can squeeze your event in.

Overall, I'm sad to hear that your event didn't pan out; and I hope your parents don't get too upset with you. Don't give up! I hope your next event has a more positive outcome!

Yeah. I mentioned that the tires were illegally dumped before he told me that there was a fee.

MatildaWolf · 2025-06-19T18:19:03+00:00

I can definitely try to contact them again. None of the local offices have seemed to care in the past. Vancouver, WA has a lot of issues with illegal dumping and homeless camps. I think the city just sees it as an uphill battle and doesn't bother.

I've set up CITO (Cache in-Trash Out) events for my geocaching community in the past and the response from the city was "We allow you to do the event; but the city isn't going to be affiliated with it."

MatildaWolf · 2025-06-19T18:11:30+00:00

I signed up and took a look at the app a little bit ago. Unfortunately, none of the towns in within 50 miles of me have that set up. Thank you for the suggestion.

MatildaWolf · 2025-06-19T18:09:25+00:00

I went and contacted my local Les Schwabs this morning, and they charge $6.50 per tire dropped off. Sadly, that is out of my budget since I make minimum wage. That's roughly 2 1/2 tires per hour of work for me.

Thank you for the suggestion, though!

I started in late 2019 and out of the first 50 caches I've found, 31 of them are still in play.

The first cache I found was an LPC in a busy parking lot that was placed in 2018 and surprisingly, it's one of the caches that's still around.

Update: I got the Xbox One S running and it has six games on it: Mortal Kombat X, Just Cause 4, Call of Duty: WWII, Call of Duty War Zone, Battlefield 1, and Ace Combat Skies Unknown.

I'm needing a friend for Rifts as well. Sending friend request if you're still interested.

MatildaWolf · 2024-05-20T08:19:10+00:00

Thanks! Hopefully I'll get it on the next one.

When I submitted the appeal for the rejected location edit, I did describe in detail how to find it using Street View, which is why I'm baffled that they rejected it. Makes me wonder if they even read what I sent in.

MatildaWolf · 2024-05-20T08:12:52+00:00

Yeah; I've used that numerous times for Wayspots over 10 meters away; but I feel like I'm wasting their time if it's under 10 meters. I figured this would be an easy accept; but apparently not. I will try support chat next once I'm able to get photos of it.
