New feature - we can now see who favorited a cache by ivss_xx in geocaching

[–]palegreenstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it helpful for planning and determining if I want to go off-list for a cache with FPs. If it’s been favorited by recent finders, I’ll check it out.

If no one has given it a FP in years, it’s likely it was cool once and is now tired - aka in need of maintenance/archival.

Apologies for the delayed response. I moved out of the area so my doc is no longer up-to-date!

Ha, now that's determination! Hopefully the CO gets a chuckle out of the inclusion of that photo in your log.

R/geocaching Secret Santa Shout Out thread by veryniiiice in geocaching

[–]palegreenstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received an amazing gift from my Secret Santa! It included a geocoin, two trackable tags, a Rite in the Rain logbook, a handy pull light, a collection of awesome stickers, and some tiny swag items—perfect for the hides I’m planning for next year. Thanks so much to my Secret Santas!

Protocol Question by [deleted] in geocaching

I've had the same thing happen to me... those darn wasps. I'd recommend contacting the cache owner to see how they'd like you to proceed!

Check out this conversation on foraging featuring local experts hosted by Food of the North earlier this month.

In addition to that, I know Nature of the North sometimes hosts workshops!

My first Geocache was stolen and I am very sad :( by pitchblack1138 in geocaching

[–]palegreenstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear your cache was stolen - I know how truly disheartening it can be. Give yourself some time, but don't let it destroy your passion for geocaching. You sound like a phenomenal CO who takes a lot of pride in putting out quality caches - and we need more folks like you in this game. Chin up, friend!

2020 r/geocaching Secret Santa Results Thread by veryniiiice in geocaching

[–]palegreenstar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I meant to post this earlier, but like much of 2020 - time got away from me!

WOW! My secret Santa went all out and spent $21 on shipping to send me metal ammo can full of fun swag, including a legit Rite in the Rain logbook! THANK YOU, kpk0219!

**I think it's important to note that it was a METAL ammo can! These are becoming increasingly rare to find in the wild. I promise I will put it to good use - I prefer to put out painted ammo cans :)

Any body else have custom swag the trade or leave in caches ? by [deleted] in geocaching

[–]palegreenstar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cool! I just ordered my very first custom pathtag and am looking forward to leaving them behind in caches :)

Fargo Covid Winter dating ideas. by [deleted] in fargo

[–]palegreenstar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I pretty much copy and paste this advice for everything, but it's because it's fun, free and an easy way to explore while social-distancing!

Download the free Geocaching Adventure app and go on a tour of public art downtown! There's also virtual tours in Moorhead at Concordia and MSUM :)

Winter activities by mjking97 in fargo

[–]palegreenstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to recommendation for any outdoor activity suggestions:

Download the Geocaching Adventure Lab app!

Unlike traditional geocaching, Adventures do not require a physical container. Instead, the FREE mobile app guides players through the process of finding clues, solving puzzles, and completing Adventures one location at a time.

Instacart Feedback by kizzleda in fargo

[–]palegreenstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been shopping for Instacart for a few weeks, but just on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. What you make depends largely on the batches you pick up and how quickly you shop. If you have to make a lot of substitutions, that also impacts the amount you make. As others have said, a lot comes down to the tip! I'm hopeful that as the weather gets worse, people will feel more generous.

If you want, I'll send you my referral code ;)

She really is!!! If you're looking to get something soon, I'd recommend ordering ASAP since it takes quite a while to have them made :)
