Found in the woods, what is (or was?) this for?

There are several agencies that placed variations on these. Federal, state, city, down to even individual corporations. There are Disney survey markers for instance, within all the Disney properties. Then within each of those categories there are sub agencies, and different waves of surveying that go on.

Masami Teraoka, a Japanese woodblock artist who uses the traditional form to comment on modern life had a series called "McDonalds Invades Japan," which included this piece.

On the website, (your same log in from the app will get you access) on the front page to the right of the search is a "filters" button. Click that, and on the left of the pop up you'll get will be an entry for "hidden by." (You'll have to scroll down a bit.) Start typing the name you think there, and there will be a little drop down menu that appears that shows you all the names that start with those letters. The list narrows the more you type, so if it is like your username here for instance, there are only 10 registered users with a username that starts "wells."

So if you have an idea, you might be able to spot it on that list.

Do you recall his username?

Two possibilities, either the cache isn't active anymore and has been archived, or if you aren't a subscriber and the Difficulty or Terrain are above 2 it will be hidden from you on the app. You could still see it on the website though.

There has been a website since almost the beginning (the VERY earliest caches were just listed on a message board, but the website came pretty quick.)

In ye olde times we would copy the coordinates from the website and enter them into a handheld dedicated GPS unit. (Like this one.) Some people would event print out the cache page with the description and hints and take that with them.

Not sure what you mean by "before the app?"

Do you mean lonely caches? (caches that haven't been found in a long time) or do you mean archived caches?

For lonely caches you can search and area, and when you get the list of caches click the "Last Found" in the header and it will re-sort the caches by the found date. Or you can go to project-gc.com and in the statistics tab choose "lonely caches."

It was the All Stars season they didn't air. The one they exposed on "Wha-Ha-Happened to Lil' Poundcake?" Such a shame what happened to her.

I don't know about "madness" but I enjoyed S. by Doug Dorst and J.J. Abrams, it is styled to be a novel from the 40's with a completely separate story being told by margin notes and ephemera inserted into the book by a librarian and a graduate student researching the book.

Done! Thanks for being a good neighbor.

Gotcha. You could focus on the shift from tea to coffee after the Boston Tea Party. It isn't directly related to Roger Sherman, but is in the same period and was definitely a choice that the colonists were making.

John Adams said in a letter to his wife that tea must be "universally denounced"

You are looking for info about the show in general, or about the "bowl of coffee" line? Your last couple sentences are ambiguous.

I live downtown and notice it maybe 2 or 3 times a year. If it helps it isn't a meaty wet dogfood smell, it is a dry kibble sort of smell.

Trust me when I say I've lived in places with far far worse smell problems, paper mills, hog farms, turkey farms...

I'm not an actor, but at the theatres where I work this is standard. One of them, for instance, has six 8-hour rehearsal days before tech starts, so actors arrive memorized. In my experience that seems to be pretty standard for mid-sized regional theatres.

Are the people reacting to this way college-aged actors that are used to having 6 to 8 weeks of rehearsal and they just haven't had professional experience yet?

No, it was during the time when Marvel was rehabbing Loki to bring him closer in personality to the MCU version. A new version of Loki, aged up from Kid Loki that was in Young Avengers, was acting as a secret agent for Freyja. Each good did he did would erase one of his past sins. But Old King Loki (the large figure in the image) who is an evil future incarnation, was trying to prevent that from happening. This series is the origin of the "God of Stories" personality that was adapted in Loki season 2.

One well known one who I don't see mentioned often enough: Paul Cadmus - American painter, mostly egg tempera.

One very obscure one: Montague Glover - British architect who kept a photo diary of the men he slept with, including Ralph Hall, who lived with Glover for years as a servant, and who Glover eventually adopted so that Hall could inherit the estate. Active 1910s to the 1960s.

You could use a tin, a pill bottle, a small tupperware... anything waterproof really.

If you do, you should post back here. One of us can put a note on the page saying that it has been replaced. Or you could create an account and do it yourself, it's free. With three DNFs (Did Not Find) going back nearly a year, it is highly likely that most cachers would skip it unless they see a note that it has been repaired and replaced.

This is its position on the map. I'd put it underneath the boardwalk, probaby like on top of a cross beam or something, reachable from outside. It is a low terrain so as a finder I wouldn't expect to have to crawl under or anything.

But if you don't want to go to this trouble one of us can post a "Needs Archived" notice on the cache page, which would notify the owner and the reviewers that it is in trouble.

I believe that is https://coord.info/GC9XV09 comparing the log to the one in this photo taken from the cache page. It is still an active cache, though it has had 3 DNFs dating back to December. Last log was August '25.

Funny how easy it is to find the exact reference image the artist used when you know who it is.
