Except that you waste $60 in gas driving around the desert just to break even.]]>Jan 31st 2006 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/
Where did THAT come from? Many of your readers are geocachers and most geocaching has no rewards except the thrill of the pursuit. We encourage other geocachers to protect the sport by picking up trash and obeying local laws. I agree with the previous comment - If this is sarcasm, it doesn't come off as such.]]>Jan 31st 2006 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/Jan 31st 2006 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/Jan 31st 2006 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/I know Engadet always puts a jab in their postings, but this one is a bit too over the top. And no, I'm not a geocacher.]]>Jan 31st 2006 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/Jan 31st 2006 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/Jan 31st 2006 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/Jan 31st 2006 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/These statements are far from flaming.

In the event that such measures are not compromised our lawyers will be in contact. er... can you give us your coordinates?]]>Jan 31st 2006 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/
RTFA you Dumbass it says that it is 60 dollars per collection you idiot. Sorry for the bashing but people don't even read and they just post based on the title. Sorry.

The sarcastic one]]>Jan 31st 2006 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/I've never heard of anyone having any kind of negative image of geocaching, most I've ever got from mentioning it to people was "huh?"
You guys seriously need to lighten up, I thought it was funny. Also, for those of you cacher's who take it a wee bit too far, other people are not called muggles, they're just called normal.
and yes, that was very much sarcasm. :)]]>Jan 31st 2006 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/

This geocacher got the humor. Sad that a few dolts make the rest of us look bad.]]>Jan 31st 2006 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/Jan 31st 2006 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/Just go to the groundspeak forums and you will see controversy such as here.
I grow weary of all the banter myself.

To prove my point, I'll use this line that comes after the geocaching joke.
"only a particular balloon's general location is posted, and the first certified 'cacher in the area who calls dibs gets the exact coordinates (plus or minus five decimal places) and an exclusive 48-hour window to retrieve the gear."
If that were put in front of the geocaching joke, I think it would make more sense that it's more about their james-bondish secret agent style security measures than the actual people who do it.
That's what I thought, and if you put it in that context, I think it is very funny.]]>Feb 2nd 2006 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/
The contract is an older version that is being updated as soon as I finish negotiating the new contract with Space Data. Currently we pay $60 per SOG recovered and delivered(driven) to a Space Data launch site. Some SOGS actually pay more than $60 and that is based on difficulty in getting to the SOG. Before you accept a recovery assignment, terms are spelled out in the acceptance email.

Looks good to me. Attention geocachers: remeber what they say about arguing on the Internet!]]>Feb 2nd 2006 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/Feb 18th 2006 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/31/cash-in-on-your-geocaching-skillz/Feb 22nd 2006 2:44PM
