Hank the Hawk letterboxing stamp
I needed an image to test out a new stamp carving material and decided to try carving Hank the Hawk (it's been on my to-do list anyway). This is the first inking of this stamp and it still needs a fair bit of work before I'll consider it complete. BTW the stamp is 1.75" is diameter, a bit on the sma...

Re: Like Minds
Personally I have no issues with using a combined travel bug / moving cache. If you are eating in a restaurant and stand up and declare that the establishment next store is a better choice because [free food, high-quality food, more food, less distance-between food, larger servings, less customers, ...

Coffee Peddlers lonely caches...1 down, 2 to go
Coffee Peddlers placed three caches around London in 2011. None of the three have even been logged on OCNA. I finally stopped by to find one on Christmas Eve. being the skeptic that I am, I had no expectations that the cache would be there. from the listing I could guess that the cache was located o...

Re: Are Challenges Challenging You?
On the one hand, I'd like to hide some of the less common cache types, like quiz and unknowns and maybe even a dead-drop or MP3. With the new challenges I was determined it was time to add these to my stats. yesterday I placed 3 new caches out . And then I remembered why I stick to traditionals (for...

Re: Like Minds
Any movement yet with your travelers? Of the three I created, only one has been released. i dropped it off at a large geocaching event (as a groundspeak trackable) and it was picked up and later dropped into a groundspeak cache. That was over a month ago. As an aside, the trackable tags I'm using ar...

Re: Milestones - Share Yours Here
Congratulations to Dudley Grunt on his 200th OCNA listing (I was looking at your Back to the Future event and noticed that you wrote "My 200th created OCNA cache!" - wish I could attend BTW) DG holds the top spot for the number of active created caches (127 according to the User Ranking by Number of...

Re: The OpenCaching NA 5th Anniversary Contest
Because I like statistics...here are some numbers from the contest. But first the preamble: I pulled these numbers from the "Latest caches" and "Latest Logs" and they may be somewhat incomplete.Also, for the "logs", I wasn't able to pull out the log type or cache type, so it will be a bit less usefu...

Re: The OpenCaching NA 5th Anniversary Contest
Well that sure was a fun way to spend a month! I managed to create 40 caches (10 types, 35 are OCNA-only, in 5 provinces and 2 states) and found 15 OCNA caches (8 types) plus 5 OC.de safari caches. In regards to the entry form, I noticed that there's no entry for Hide an Unknown Cache so I put my on...

Re: No more opencaching.com
Shutting down the brokencaching site might just be the best move Garmin has made in a while. Think about how much web traffic that probably generated as everyone just had to see what has happened to the site nobody was using. They should have put up a discount code for 10% off an new Oregon 650, pro...

Re: The OpenCaching NA 5th Anniversary Contest
Hey, just noticed that letterbox hybrids are left out of the contest. Was that an oversight? If we do find or hide any, can they be submitted for points? Also, just a website note to the admin. If you visit the homepage for OCNA, and click "Upcoming Events" you get a list of upcoming events (that is...
