We wanted to post a maintenance note on a cache log but couldn't see how to do it - the facility seems to have disappeared, or we are cracking up! Anyone got any ideas?

George and I are of to Canada again - this time to Banff in the Rockies next month. If anyone would like a TB taking we would be happy to do so [ but please not those big ones you see at the events!].
Contact us by PM if you are interested.

George and I have offered to organise this years Twixmas event. This event traditionally is held on the Sunday between Christmas and New Year, however that Sunday this year is New Years Eve. We are happy to run the event on that day, but wondered if CacheWalkers would prefer another date i.e. the Saturday [30th] Please let us know your thoughts on this ASAP. This is not a strict commitment to attend at this early date, just to give us a flavour of peoples feelings, and hopefully enable us to book the hall. Thank you for all your feedback. Jenny and George

George and I did this walk last Friday with a couple of friends and Tilly dog. It was about 10kms, mainly through woodland. Some of the caches seemed to be off pathways so some of the walking was a bit more strenuous than we anticipated [ unless of course we went wrong!]. We enjoyed the variety of caches found - about 21 [ this included a Church micro and 4 that weren't in the series but on the loop. The stiles were poorly maintained so care was needed when climbing over. Tilly managed to scramble through all stiles. The sting in the tail was no.16 - a D5, which we DNF'd - our brains and legs were tired and not functioning too well at this point [ that's our excuse anyway  ] We will return to try and find that one when we go to do another loop at Chaddesley Corbett. Jenny and George GC of cache no1 is: GC2N6YW. We parked in Dodford Church car park to start the walk - plenty of parking - not sure about Sundays though!

We have just found a TB hotel cache which was an old dishwasher, with a dolls house in it holding the TBs ! Even bigger was the old chest freezer holding the swapables! All the same cache! It was amazing. GC66810.

Could someone explain about passport series to us please? Apparently there are 2 series in Napanee [Canada] which is very rare for Canada, but we aren't too sure what it entails! Many thanks for any tips. Jenny & George.

George and I are of to Canada next month. We will be attending Discover L&A County Geocaching Event 2016 and also hoping to do some caching in Niagra Falls, so if anyone would like us to take a trackable to place 'over the pond' we are more than happy to do so for you. Let us know and I will PM our address so you can send it to us.

We did this double series on Friday, but they can be done separately as 2 short walks. In total the walk was about 4.5 miles, with some canal, field and lane walking [not road]. There is a total of 19 caches in both series [but one has been temporarily disabled as it appears to be missing - Blitzen #8] There is a layby for parking close to the first cache. The walk is generally dog friendly - we had to lift Tilly over the last stile, all the others she scrambled through. Link to the first cache: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC4VEDH_rudolph-1We really enjoyed this walk. Jenny and George

While we were out caching yesterday my Garmin totally 'locked up' - the only way to get any action from it was to take the batteries out, put them back and then it worked again [But I didn't do that till I got home as I thought I would loose all the info ie the caches I had put in. I couldn't even switch it of and re-boot it. Before this happened the compass was doing a tango, hardly settled and kept giving different directions and distances - kept me a spin! At the same time George's smart phone was also misbehaving - similar action [but it didn't 'lock up']. So all in all it was difficult to home in on the caches. The area we were in was by a canal, but also a main train line which was quite busy. Can anyone throw any light onto what was happening please? Many thanks for any help. Jenny

Has anyone worked out the 'secret message' yet?
We have had a go, but the morse code isn't very clear to read.

We have recently found nano caches with full logs - what is the correct etiquette in these cases? So far we have:
1. Taken a full but very wet log home and put a new log in, messaged the cache owner offering to send the old log to them [but it was virtually unreadable]. The cache owner thanked us for replacing the log and declined to have the old log sent to him - probably the best decision.
and
2. Taken a full damp log home and replaced it with a new one [a previous cacher had sent a 'needs maintenance' alert requesting a new log], we messaged the cache owner offering to send the log to him/her - so far no reply.
So our question is have we followed the correct procedure or is there anything else we should do? Large caches are no problem - we just add another log or sheet of paper if needed.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi All Tried loading geocaches on my GPS yesterday, with no success, and then later in the day we were unable to open Geocash.com at all - on 2 computers and 1 smart phone. We still can't open it this morning - is this a general problem ie affecting all, or a local problem for us? Just to add to the equation we loaded the new Windows 10 onto our computers a few days back - wonder if this is affecting it? Thanks for any input/advice Jenny  [ Mrs Hogshunters]

Hi All - We have recently dropped of a few TB's at the Essex Mega and to save time we would like to put them on a watch/notification list - is this possible please?
We have searched the Geocache site and found a watch list for caches, but cannot seem to find a way to put TB's on one [ though as you know by now my computer skills are sadly lacking!] Many thanks for any help. Jenny [ Mrs HH]
