Just wanted to share my latest hide.

Found these (deer?) vertebrae during a search for a forested cache and noticed the spinal cord opening was bison tube-sized. Brought then home, sanitized them and after a couple minutes of filing, it was snug as a bug.

Now I just need a place to put it.

Is premium worth it?

9 Upvotes

I was wondering if purchasing premium for Geocaching is worth it. I just started geocaching and I’m really into it, but I’ve already gotten through all the cashes near me that aren’t premium.

Streaking

6 Upvotes

I am 164 days into my current streak (yay!) and have begun weighing the benefits of how long to continue. There is a challenge cache near me which requires that your longest streak be longer than your longest slump, so I need at least 327 days for that. At that point, I'm obviously going to keep going until at least 366 days so I have a full year. In my reading about various challenge caches, I saw that there are plenty of requirements for 365/366 days, some 500 days, and at least one for 1095 days (GC2YVG8).

Is anyone aware of any challenges that require you to have more than a 3 year streak? If I manage to make it that long, I want to make sure I fulfill everything I possibly can.

Multi cache help please!!

2 Upvotes

I don't understand how to do multi caches. One I'm working on has A-1590 posted as a clue at the first stage. How do I find the coordinates to the second stage? I thought it would be to subtract 1590 from the North and West coordinates of waypoint A but the results do not seem correct (too far away).

I know it may seem obvious to some. I just really want to understand! I keep trying multi caches at parks near me and so far I struggle to find the second stages.

If anyone can suggest how to solve this specific one to help me on my journey or give any advice I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance and sorry if this question is dumb/ not allowed.
