Me and my friend decided to go find it letterbox style. We were wondering where it was till we realized it was the trail we go through every day! We found it, and I told him to hold the lid for me. Turns out, there wastext on the lid and it freaked my friend out sooooooooo bad cause he never went letterboxing before and didn't know what to expect.It was aloud the lines of "You found a LETTERBOX. Letterbox is a sickness. If there is ink on your hands, it is too late. There was ink on his hands,and he freaked. I decided to have some fun with him and made him dunk his hands in the river. I then told him it was fake and we laughed.
They all offer something slightly different.
Munzees - it's the using the iPhone Munzee QR code app plus the different ways that a QR code can be hidden (as opposed to a container).
Finished scanning, glanced over to a nearby tree. There in the nook was a beautifully spray paint camo'd lock-n-lock tucked into the trunks. I thought I had found all the geocaches and letterboxes (and now munzees) in the park so this was a surprise. I opened up the box. There was a sentimental note from the cache owner. They dedicated their find to the one they loved. Very touching. The person who the CO dedicated the box to signed it in 2010. Last month in January Team ??? (can't make out their name) signed the log. Then today I signed the log. The label on the outside of the container was an official geocaching label. I did some sleuthing and in 2010 the paramour was likely a student at the university. Perhaps her beau planted it without realizing there was a cache/letterbox within .1 miles.  |

Actually, this is what happens when your Government forgets who they work for. This has "Big Fish - Little Pond" written all over it. SCDNR allows a whole host of activities on their properties other than geocaching. I simply cannot fathom that they would outlaw any of these other activities over one single rules violation. The fact that they were so quick on the trigger with geocaching tells me they have some anti-caching mook whispering in their collective ears. I would guess this mook works somewhere fairly high in the DNR food chain.I added the bold. This is what happens when one cache hider (or finder) chooses to not follow the rules laid out.In bill H3794 signed by the governor of South Carolina on June 2, 2009, the South Carolina General Assembly prohibited geocaching on all state wildlife management areas, heritage preserves, and all other lands owned OR operated by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.

My Selective Criteria results:What the premium membership WILL do is allow you to be more selective on the caches you choose to hunt.
From my December 1 pocket queries, there are 3,467 caches within 20 miles of my house.
Of those 3,467 caches, 435 are temporarily disabled leaving 3,032 caches
Of those 3,032 caches, 309 are not traditional leaving 2,723 caches
Of those 2,723 caches, 1,479 are micro leaving 1,244 caches
Of those 1,244 caches, 124 are not chosen in their size leaving 1,120 caches
Of those 1,120 caches, 79 are terrain=1.0 leaving 1,041 caches
Of those 1,041 caches, 107 are difficulty=1.0 leaving 934 caches
Of those 934 caches, 39 are are ones I've found or placed leaving 895 caches
Of those 895 caches, 144 are placed in a parking lot (based on my scouting reports) leaving 751 caches
Of those 751 caches, 13 are terrain>=4.0 leaving 738 caches
Of those 738 caches, 26 are have a size of "other" chosen leaving 712 caches
Of those 712 caches, 509 are excluded based on other criteria I use in GSAK (polygon filter, number of recent DNFs, etc.) leaving 203 caches.
That criteria gets me down to about 5.86% of the caches.
