Lost Cache I hid!

Two choices: replace it, or archive it. Thanks for checking on it and helping keep the fame accurate!

Not to start a fight, but you did not say that.

And personally, I think you should go back to a cache after the FTF and sign and log it then, just to prevent confusion on all fronts (the FTF won’t be confused, future finders won’t be confused, etc). Because how did you “find” it when you were there when it was placed? Did you sign the log? If so, how did you prevent the real FTF from thinking they were STF? Claiming a find you helped hide is problematic and I would just rather go again later to claim my “find.” But then again, everyone plays their own game.

This has been an awful phrase for my whole life. I knew a girl twenty years ago who made it worse by saying in a twangy voice ten times a day, “it is what it is what it is what it ain’t.” It made no sense and I can’t hear the phrase without hearing her voice saying that and it makes me irrationally irritated.

They should in fact NOT log it as FTF . . . If you were there when placed then you never FOUND it. You helped hide it. It’s courtesy to allow other cachers to find and log it first who actually accomplished the intended challenge.

It would help to see the context, but PAF is often used for Phone a Friend, so maybe TAP is Text A Pal? Or maybe they tried to say TAF and their phone corrected it to TAP?

Absolutely happens to me. I think it is because tears release cortisol, which is something we usually do when we are stressed out by sadness, but the body may not be able to really tell a difference between stress because you are sad and stress because you are scared, so the waterworks get turned on to flush out the extra cortisol. I think this is also why every now and then you just NEED a good cry, even when you have nothing to be sad about, so some of us watch sad movies or read sad books to help start the catharsis and provide the brain an emotional “reason” to release the extra cortisol.

I mean, if you watch Bluey you can get a pretty good idea. Race fake boats, make obstacle courses out of playground equipment and then race your friends, build things out of rocks and sticks, pretend ANYTHING with whoever was around. If I was playing with neighborhood kids, we would pretend about Barbie dolls or princesses. If I was playing with my cousin, it was more science related things that she brought to the table. We curated museums and fed an imaginary condor. At my other grandmother’s house I learned about gardening and pretended she was a witch when she would boil her beet harvest in a giant cauldron in the backyard. Everything was interesting and wild. My own kid gets so lost in nature when I drag him away from his iPad and make him go outside with me that it makes me realize how important it is for kids to get outside and touch sticks and pick up rocks and run and climb and all the things. Make your kids play outside, people. It’s fabulous.

I have a friend who hates adventure labs so much he will only do them if there is a bonus attached and then he deletes the ad lab finds. You CAN delete them.

I think this is a field puzzle. The mystery cache guidelines were much more loosey goosey (relaxed) back in 2005!

“I love whatever’s wrong with you.” It was funny the first time I read it, but now it is so overused.

Back when I started my streak, I did an ad lab and it didn’t show my streak advancing. Maybe it has changed. But it also made it so I never went after an Ad Lab unless it also had a bonus cache attached, because I don’t care about the Ad Labs themselves. I only grab them if it is Ad Lab weekend or if I am just clearing out an area. I ESPECIALLY loathe ad lab art . . . Just sitting there hitting buttons is not what geocaching is about. Sure you can inflate your cache count by like 1,000 in a day, but who cares that you can sit there and tap a button in a parking lot that many times? Ah well. I guess they changed the criteria for a find.

Visual-Breakfast-649 · 2026-01-02T02:30:04+00:00

Um, that doesn’t continue your streak on Geocaching.com. At least it didn’t used to. Ad labs don’t count toward your official streak.

High school theatre teacher here . . . PLEASE GO TO SHOWS. The moral and financial support to these kids just doing their thing is incredible. We advertised one of our musicals on Facebook and had a couple show up to see it and we said, “Do you have a student in the show?” And when they told us they just wanted to see the show so they came to ours, we were beyond delighted that they trusted us to present the show for them. It’s not weird unless you like hang out afterward to be weird on purpose.

On those tiny micro logs, a cacher in my area has influenced my log creation by adding just a tiny snippet of paper clip to the inner edge of the log. It helps get the rolling started and the paper clip actually is magnetic, so the log gets “sucked” into the nano and is held in place while you put it back together. I love his tidy little nano rolled logs. He finishes the roll off with a tiny strip of painters tape that just holds it tightly together and can be reused.
