WestonWyse:

Hi, all. I'm a slow geocacher (1.5 years & 60 finds) currently in Richmond, VA. Together with my wife, we make [http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=b4afdebc-3b28-4787-9200-dc55884d397d The Clowneys] on geocaching.com.I'm also a huge fan of MediaWiki, so I was very glad when I found this site. I was considering starting a geocaching wiki on [http://www.wikia.com Wikia], and was quite glad that I didn't need to become the only admin on yet another wiki there. It's a relief, I tell you.

I think this is what you call "jumping in with both feet." I'll probably calm down after a while. Probably.

[http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=b4afdebc-3b28-4787-9200-dc55884d397d http://img.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx?uid=b4afdebc-3b28-4787-9200-dc55884d397d&bg=1.jpg]

== Current Projects ==
* [[Help:Contributing to Cacheopedia#Categories|Categories]] One of my wiki-peeves is lack of category structure. Since there seems to be a push to make one, I'll go ahead and take the lead on that, I suppose.
* I'm planning a geocaching trip for this fall, so I'll probably also be writing no shortage of articles to help me, as well as anyone else that wants to travel the same roads.
* I'm planning a [[User:WestonWyse/Trip|trip]]!

== Handy Tools ==
* [http://math.ucsd.edu/~crypto/java/EARLYCIPHERS/Vigenere.html Vigenere crypto applet] Wonderful for many puzzle caches.

== Database Error ==

I don't know what the database error is. I don't have time to look at it today, but I will take a look tomorrow.

Welcome to Cacheopedia, and thanks for all the work you've done so far.

--[[User:BigWhiteTruck|BigWhiteTruck]] 12:39, 24 June 2006 (EDT)

== Fixed ==

I got the error when trying to post the previous comment. Seeing it with my own eyes helped me figure it out. It's all fixed now.
Thanks again for bringing it to my attention.

--[[User:BigWhiteTruck|BigWhiteTruck]] 12:40, 24 June 2006 (EDT)

:You're quite welcome, and I'm quite glad to be aboard. Thanks! {{User:WestonWyse/Sig}} 17:34, 24 June 2006 (EDT)

== Posting Waypoints ==

I noticed you posted a lot of waypoints on your [[User:WestonWyse/Trip|trip]] page.
Did you know about the waypoint template?
<pre>{{waypoint|GCPVKM}}</pre>
Yields:

{{waypoint|GCPVKM}}

:Actually, no, I hadn't found that yet. I was kind of hoping that it would be in the interwiki map, but I haven't found anything baout that, either. {{User:WestonWyse/Sig}} 19:28, 9 July 2006 (EDT)

== Signatures ==

Any idea why [[User:BigWhiteTruck/Sig|my custom signature]] doesn't work and [[User:WestonWyse/Sig|yours]] does?

--[[User:BigWhiteTruck|BigWhiteTruck]] 21:34, 28 September 2006 (EDT)

:The one thing that usually seems to catch people is to be sure that you've enabled Raw Signatures in your preferences (the checkbox just below your nickname). Otherwise, the software will see the <nowiki>{{User:BigWhiteTruck/Sig}}</nowiki> you entered as your nickname and still try to encase it in a link. ~~[[User:WestonWyse|WestonWyse]][ [[User talk:WestonWyse|talk]] ]~~ 15:16, 29 September 2006 (EDT)

Hey there. You are the newest Sysop to this page. You have been contributing a lot of content and fighting a lot of spam. As a sysop you can more easily fight spam by using revert tools like the rollback buttons. You also have the ability to block users. You may block spammers at will, no one else.

--[[User:BigWhiteTruck|BigWhiteTruck]] 13:31, 27 Nov 2005 (EST)

== Images ==

Lost images in the upgrade.
If you could re-up your pi pic, that would be good. I think if you click the link to the pic, it will let you upload any file and will reame it for you, but i'm not sure. If it works, that would bea good way to add pics to articles, make the image link first, then fill it with the image.
--[[User:BigWhiteTruck|BigWhiteTruck]] 00:09, 28 November 2005 (EST)

== Spammers ==

Man, they are getting sophisticated. Creating new pages, and editing whitespace on the content to hide their spam in the diff pages! Thanks for all your help fighting this. Did you see the spam where the spammer actually wrote in the top above the links ''"Please forgive me, I have no money to feed my children."''?

'''''Riiiiiight'''''

Thanks again for all your help. Do you have editing priveledge for [[MediaWiki:SpamBlacklist]]? if not, drop me a message on [[User talk:BigWhiteTruck|my talk page]] and I'll get it figured out.

[[User:BlueNinja|BlueNinja]] 07:51, 21 April 2006 (EDT) Yes, I do. Should I just copy the line of links they're giving us and put it in there? That's an awful lot of drugs to type out by hand ;)

Cacheopedia

WestonWyse:

'''What is Cacheopedia?'''

Cacheopedia is a wiki site to create an online encyclopedia / reference / survival guide for the sport of geocaching. It is a source for geocaching FAQs, articles, definitions, guides, and a whole lot more.

'''How did it start?'''

Cacheopedia got its start in May of 2005 when someone on the [[geocaching.com forums]] posted a warning to the community about the growing danger of [[methamphetamine]] labs being found more and more often in places that geocachers wanted to go. Someone suggested that there should be a place for geocachers can share such warnings and compare notes on ways to stay safe in the woods. While they were at it, they could share cache hunting stories, tips, hiding methods, etc. The idea for cacheopedia was born when someone suggested a geocaching wiki. The site was started that day.

[[Category:Cacheopedia]]
== Site Updates ==
===New Main Page===
I spiffed up the main page a little with a new layout. There are currently 6 featured categories on the main page. This does not mean that these will be the only main categories. Justa new layout. Please feel free to create and edit new categories as you see fit.
:--[[User:BigWhiteTruck|BigWhiteTruck]] 23:05, 12 January 2006 (EST)

===Waypoint Marking===
I've added an easy way to make a link to a cache page via waypoint. the waypoint template takes care of it for us now. Just put code like this in your article:
<pre>{{waypoint|GCPVKM}}</pre>
It will make a link like this:

{{waypoint|GCPVKM}}

--[[User:BigWhiteTruck|BigWhiteTruck]] 15:13, 28 December 2005 (EST)

===Spammers===
Spammers have begun to attack this wiki. Go view some of the revisions to pages like the Main Page, or even the help page, you will see for yourself. As of right now I am employing a link blacklist on edits, if you try to make an edit that includes a link that matches the blacklist, your edit is denied. The blacklist I am using is available at [http://blacklist.chongqed.org/]. Nightly, a new copy of the list is downloaded to help protect us going forward. Hopefully this will help until the spammers get smarter.

Please be on the lookout for links hidden in pages. Most of the spammers are inserting the links in invisible divs at the bottom of the page s that we don't even notice them, but search engines still pick them up, which is what the spammers are hoping for. When editing a page, please make a habit of scrolling down to the bottom of the edit box before you save.
====Sysops Fighting Spam====
I am starting to grant sysop priveleges to major contributors because that brings with it the ability to ban ips and users, also to rollback changes automatically. ''If you find yourself on this list, please read [[Help:How to revert a page to an earlier version|about reverting pages]].''
*'''[[User:BlueNinja|BlueNinja]]''': Spam cop lately. Also an active contributor.

I am also considering requiring logging in to edit pages. I really don't want to do that, we will see.

--[[User:BigWhiteTruck|BigWhiteTruck]] 13:25, 27 Nov 2005 (EST)

====SpamBlacklist====
After much struggling, [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SpamBlacklist_extension SpamBlacklist] has been installed. Sysops that see spam getting through can add the urls to our [[MediaWiki:SpamBlacklist|local blacklist page]], which is a supplement to the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam_blacklist WikiMedia blacklist], that we are also using to block spam.

===New Version===
This wiki has been chugging along quite nicely on MediaWiki 1.4.1, but it is time for a change. I am in the process of updating to 1.5.2 ''(You may have noticed that the /w/ in the edit urls has changed to /w141/. pretty soon it will become /w152/ then you will know it's done)''. Hopefully this will go smoothly.
--[[User:BigWhiteTruck|BigWhiteTruck]] 21:16, 27 Nov 2005 (EST)

'''Update:'''
The new version install seems to have gone smoothly. Seems like everything is good.
--[[User:BigWhiteTruck|BigWhiteTruck]] 00:01, 28 November 2005 (EST)

===other updates===
#File uploading is now enabled, let's see those pics!
#*[[Cacheopedia:image use policy|image use policy]] <-- how to do automatic thumbnails, what's appropriate, etc.

General discussion goes here. Start new topics with a separator line (<nowiki>----</nowiki>) and comments to a topic should be indented by using one colon (:) per indent at the beginning of each line. Sign and timestamp your posts with the spiffy "4 tildas" (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). Enjoy!

[[User:BigWhiteTruck|BigWhiteTruck]] 17:17, 29 November 2005 (EST) Lately I have been working hard to categorize articles and define categories. I think this is really important so we can have a browseable structure of articles. I defined a template called '''cathowto''' that tells you how to add your articles to a category. It's a good idea to add this at the end of a category description:

Rest area geocache

2006-07-18T01:37:35Z

WestonWyse:

'''Rest area geocaches''' are those [[geocache]]s placed on the public land at roadway [[wikipedia:rest area|rest areas]]. This is a practice particularly popular along the United States' [[wikipedia:Interstate Highway System|Interstate Highway System]]. These caches are somewhat popular among travelling [[geocacher]]s, as they allow them to break along their trips not only for rest and food, but also to enjoy one of their [[geocaching|favorite activities]].

Generally, rest area geocaches are on public land and should be approved by the facility's management before placement.

Geocaching websites

2006-07-18T01:37:24Z

WestonWyse:

[[Category:Lists]]
[[Category:Web]]

Here we will attempt to list known geocaching sites.

== Listing sites: ==

=== [http://www.geocaching.com www.geocaching.com] ===
The biggest and most-used geocaching site on the internet. Their cache listing and numbers of users is many orders of magnitude larger than any others. Many geocachers go here and nowhere else.

This is the grand-daddy of all the caching sites. Run by Jeremy Irish and friends out of Seattle Washington, this site is what many people think of when they think of geocaching.

The site features many different types of caches, and a promise of new types of caches and games to come. Caches are approved and checked by hand-picked regional approvers, who also moderate the site's very busy geocaching discussion forums. The site hosts numerous events and promotions throughout the year, including Cache-in-Trash-Out (CITO) or park-cleanup events, Jeep promotions, and others.

The site has the ability to track moving items such as travel bug tags and geo-coins. The look and feel of the site is very slick and polished, with the option for advanced cache hiders to augment their cache listing pages using HTML tags and images.

There is no charge for a standard membership. A premium membership is offered, through which cachers can retrieve customized lists of geocaches in desired areas on a periodic basis. Caches are available in GPX or LOC format and of course these work with the [[GSAK]] program and other paperless caching tools.

=== [http://www.earthcache.org/ www.earthcache.org] ===
An offshoot of Geocaching.com that promotes earth science education. These may be located in sensitive areas where a traditional cache would not be appropriate.

=== [http://www.navicache.com/ www.navicache.com] ===

Free cache database, the second oldest site for posting caches. Based out of Rochester New York, the site, run by PCMedic and Quinn, has a somewhat more lenient policy with regard to the posting of caches than Geocaching.com. Virtuals are encouraged, and moving caches are permitted with some restrictions. The site does not currently have a way to post a Locationless (Reverse Virtual) cache. The flavor of the site tends to be more european, with many German caches being posted, for example.

Many cachers got their start on Navicache. The cache data from the site is available for download in GPSS, GPX, or LOC format. Difficulty/Terrain, Logging and viewing of caches is similar to the format and presentation of Geocaching.com, though some geocaching.com users have noted that the interface is a bit more basic with fewer frills. Some cachers list and log their caches on both sites simultaneously, and this practice is encouraged.

The caches on the site are fully indexed on Buxley's Maps, and the GPX files produced are usable in GSAK.

=== [http://www.TerraCaching.com/ www.TerraCaching.com] ===
A caching website that promotes a quality over quantity focus, and gives members enormous power to decide what types of caches are allowed in their area through a decentralized system of approval and peer review.

Quality is measured by the community's rating of each cache on a ten-point scale from "Should be Archived" up to "Superb." Each cache has a quality score (MCE or "Measure of Cache Excellence) which reflects the opinions of the cachers who've rated it. A 10 is a perfect score, and anything 1.0 or below is automatically archived by the system.

Finders and placers of caches earn TPS (terracaching point system) points instead of smileys. A drive-up cache would be found frequently so would likely have a low TPS, around 1. A difficult cache on top of a mountain would likely be harder to find an so would earn a higher TPS point value.

Terracaching currently supports locationless caches as well, though the scores for Locationless and Traditional caches are figured separately.

Far from being an 'elitist' site, Terracaching.com welcomes all cachers who want to place caches that are more challenging than those that can be found elsewhere. Many Terracachers play on other sites as well.

To gain access to the site, you must be sponsored by two existing players. These sponsors become your approvers, and you can change approvers any time if you wish. If you don't know two existing players, just post a note in the forum with your City and any other details of your caching history, and you'll receive offers of sponsorship usually within minutes.

=== [http://www.GPSgames.org/ www.GPSgames.org] ===
A fun caching site featuring a variety of games you can play with your GPS, including geocaching, Geodashing, MinuteWar, Shutterspot, GeoGolf and GeoPoker. It's a collaborative, community effort by and for players who enjoy using a GPS for location-based games.

Geocaching - The site lists geocaches for finding and logging. Moderation/Approval is done by your fellow players. Sponsors are not required. All types of caches are welcomed, including virtual caches, moving caches, locationless caches, etc.

Geodashing - Waypoints (dashpoints) are randomly generated. Each game lasts a month and features of new set of about 30,000 dashpoints, spanning the globe. No place on Earth is too far away from some dashpoint or another (except at the poles). The winner is the player who can navigate to the most dashpoints.

Shutterspot - Players take photographs, then other players try to find the spot where the photographer stood.

GeoGolf - Players navigate to 18 random waypoints. The closer you get to each waypoint, the lower your score, and just like in golf, low score wins.

MinuteWar - Capture-the-flag. The whole world is the battle field. All players compete against each other no matter where they live. Maps are divided into 1 minute squares of longitude and latitude. Inside each square is a virtual flag. Navigate to the flag to capture it.

GeoPoker - Players build the best poker hand by being First-to-Find. A GeoPoker game container is deployed in a particular area. Each time the container is found, the finder is given one virtual playing card at random. Each finder chooses the next hiding spot. Games can last days or weeks.

(Coincidentally, the site also hosts a geocaching wiki, as the site encourages community involvement and ownership of the content of the Web site.

Is just what the name says. A website dedicated to moving geocaches, meaning geocaches that don't have a permanent location, but instead are moved about by finders. Points are earned by finding and hiding caches on this website. On April 19, 2006, the site owners announced the end of movingcache.com, saying tht unless someone else accepted responsibility for the site, it would be shut down on June 1, 2006. Apparently no one decided to take ownership, as MovingCache.com has since retired.

A listing site for Australian geocachers.It got its start as a geocaching portal and forum site for Australian geocachers. It started listing caches in Jan, 2005. Though the idea of it becoming an independent listing service was long in the works, it took off in part, because of many Aussie's anger at Geocaching.com's response to the Dec. 2004 tsunami disaster. Geocaching.com refused to list caches placed to solicit for organizations involved with tsunami relief, as they felt these caches violated its no solictations rule. Many many people, including a good number of Australians felt the magnitude of the disaster warranted a suspension of the rule.

In addition to providing weekly [http://www.podcacher.com/?cat=2 shows] about Geocaching (see Community Sites), [http://www.podcacher.com PodCacher] has also created an new kind of cache: The PodCache. Audio clues are used to guide people towards hidden caches (with and without a GPS). Players can listen to clues on an MP3 or CD player and walk the route "live" that is being described in the audio. See this link for some examples of PodCaches created by several geocachers: [http://www.podcacher.com/?cat=8 PodCaches]

--[[User:WikiSysop|BigWhiteTruck]] 22:46, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

==General==
To edit a [[MediaWiki]] page, click on the "'''Edit this page'''" (or just "'''edit'''") link at one of its edges. This will bring you to the '''edit page''': a page with a text box containing the ''[[wikitext]]'': the editable source code from which the server produces the webpage. Depending on the preferences that has been set, a version of the edit page called '''preview page''' appears: in this case the rendered page is also shown; if not you get it by pressing "Show preview", see below.

The edit link of a page showing an old version leads to an edit page with the old wikitext. This allows [[Help:Reverting a page to an earlier version|restoring the old version]]. However, the edit link of a [[diff]] page gives the current wikitext, even if the diff page shows an old version below the table of differences.

After adding to or changing the wikitext it is useful to press "Show preview", which produces the corresponding webpage in your browser but does not make it publicly available yet (not until you press "Save"). Errors in formatting, links, tables, etc., are often much easier to discover from the rendered page than from the raw wikitext.

'''If you are not satisfied you can make more changes and preview the page as many times as necessary. Then write a short [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] in the small text field below the edit-box and when finished press "Save". Depending on your system, pressing the "Enter" key while the edit box is not active (i.e., there is no typing cursor in it) may have the same effect as pressing "Save".'''

You may find it more convenient to copy and paste the text first into your favorite [[en:text editor|text editor]], edit and spell check it there, and then paste it back into your [[en:web browser|web browser]] to preview. This way, you can also keep a local backup copy of the pages you have edited. It also allows you to make changes offline, but before you submit your changes, ''please make sure nobody else has edited the page'' since you saved your local copy (by checking the [[Help:page history|page history]]), otherwise you may accidently revert someone else's edits. If someone ''has'' edited it since you copied the page, you'll have to merge their edits into your new version (you can find their specific edits by using the "[[Help:diff|diff]]" feature of the page history). These issues are handled automatically by the Mediawiki software if you edit the page in your web browser.

For a redirect page the preview and the rendered page may show the contents differently: the latter shows the canonical form of the target, while the preview renders the link in the usual way, compare [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Babel&redirect=no] with the preview of [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Babel&action=edit].

See also [[MediaWiki architecture]].

==Composition of the edit page==
*[[help:edit toolbar|edit toolbar]] (optional)
*edit box
*[[help:edit summary|edit summary]] box
*save/preview/cancel links
*list of templates used
*preview (optionally either on every edit page or just after pressing "Show preview"; optionally the first item)

== Dummy edit and null edit==

If the wikitext is not changed no edit will be recorded and the edit summary is discarded.

A '''dummy edit''' is a change in wikitext that has no effect on the rendered page, such as changing the number of [[w:newline|newline]]s at some position from 0 to 1 or from 2 to 3 or conversely (changing from 1 to 2 makes a difference, see below). This allows an edit summary, and is useful for correcting a previous edit summary, or an accidental marking of a previous edit as "minor" (see below).

To refresh the cache of some item in the database a lesser kind of dummy edit, called a '''null edit''', may be sufficient: one that does not cause any change in the wikitext, and no entry in the history, in Recent Changes, etc.: this can be done by opening the edit window and saving; a section edit is sufficient. See also [[Help:Category#A_category_tag_in_a_template.3B_caching_problem|A category tag in a template; caching problem]].

== Minor edits ==
When editing a page, a [[MediaWiki User's Guide: Logging-in|logged-in]] user has the option of flagging the edit as a "minor edit". This feature is important, because users can choose to ''hide'' minor edits in their view of the [[MediaWiki User's Guide: The Recent Changes page | Recent Changes page]], to keep the volume of edits down to a manageable level.

When to use this is somewhat a matter of personal preference. The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that consists of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a "minor edit". A major edit is basically something that makes the entry worth revisiting for somebody who wants to watch the article rather closely. So any "real" change, even if it is a single word, should be flagged as a "major edit".

The reason for not allowing a user who is not logged in to mark an edit as minor is that vandalism could then be marked as a minor edit, in which case it would stay unnoticed longer. This limitation is another reason to log in.

== The wiki markup ==
In the left column of the table below, you can see what effects are possible. In the right column, you can see how those effects were achieved. In other
words, to make text look like it looks in the left column, type it in the format you see in the right column.

You may want to keep this page open in a separate browser window for reference. If you want to try out things without danger of doing any harm, you can do so in the [[Sandbox]].

Summarizing the effect of a single newline: no effect in general, but it ends a list item or indented part; thus changing some text into a list item, or indenting it, is more cumbersome if it contains newlines, they have to be removed; see also [[w:Wikipedia:Don't use line breaks]].

==Templates==

Some part of a page may correspond in the edit box to just a reference to another page, in the form <nowiki>{{</nowiki>''name''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>, referring to the page "Template:''name''" (or if the name starts with a namespace prefix, it refers to the page with that name; if it starts with a colon it refers to the page in the main namespace with that name without the colon). This is called a [[help:template|template]]. For changing that part of the page, edit that other page. Sometimes a separate edit link is provided for this purpose. A convenient way to put such a link in a template is with a template like [[m:Template:ed]]. Note that the change also affects other pages which use the same template.

==Page protection==

In a few cases the link labeled "{{MediaWiki:Editthispage}}" is replaced by the text "{{MediaWiki:Protectedpage}}" (or equivalents in the language of the project). In that case the page cannot be edited.

==Position-independent wikitext==

Wikitext for which the result does not depend on the position in the wikitext page:

*[[interlanguage link]]s (see also above) - the mutual order is preserved, but otherwise the positions within the page are immaterial
*[[category]] specification - ditto
*<nowiki>__NOTOC__, __FORCETOC__</nowiki>, see [[Help:Section]]

==Separating edits==

When moving or copying a piece of text within a page or from another page, and also making other edits, it is useful to separate these edits. This way the [[Help:Diff|diff function]] can be usefully applied for checking these other edits.

==Error message==

If, due to server problems, a save command results in an error message, either the saving has failed, or just the confirmation. Check e.g. My Contributions to find out.

Don't know if I am in the right spot..... BUT..... I am looking to grow awareness of Geocaching. I run an event each year called Paddlesport http://www.jerseypaddler.com/padsport.html
And was wondering how we could use this event to do that. Any ideas please let me know.

Thanks

John

I would ask on the [http://forums.groundspeak.com geocaching forums]. there's a lot more people talking there

Travel bug

WestonWyse: /* Logging Travel bugs */ Rv spam

[[Category:Terms]]
==What is a Travel Bug?==
A Travel Bug is a Groundspeak specific tag which you attach to an item to create a [[hitch hiker]]. It is universal that when a Travel Bug dog tag is attached to a hitch hiker the combination is called a Travel Bug. These are trackable online, but you can only track Travel Bugs as they move amoung caches listed on geocaching.com. Every Travel Bug should have an aluminum tag attached to it with the Travel Bug's secret number, though rarely some will have the secret number etched directly on the item. This number is used like the GCXXXX waypoints, to find the Travel Bug in the website's database, and also to log the Travel bug online.

Travel Bugs are often called TB's

==Logging Travel bugs==
If you look at the tag attached to the Travel Bug, you'll see some numbers stamped on it. This is the tracking number and can be used in the online log to confirm that you actually found the bug. Make sure you write it down because you won't be able to get it later without emailing the owner. Also, keep this number secret from other cachers (unless they also find the bug) because it can be used to log the bug as found when it really hasn't been

Now go to this page:

[http://www.geocaching.com/track/ http://www.geocaching.com/track/]

In the upper right of the page is a box for you to enter the tracking number. Enter the TB's number, then click 'search' and you'll be taken to the TB's personal page. Make sure you are logged into your account at this point. Click the 'add a log entry' link in the upper right. Select the type of log from the dropdown menu and enter the tracking number in the field below. Enter some comments in the box on whatever subject you like and click 'submit log entry' at the bottom.

If you return to the TBs page you'll see your log listed and the bug will be in your possession.

To drop a bug in a cache, navigate to the cache page and log your find. This time there will be a box below the description field that lists bugs in your online inventory. Highlight the bug you wish to drop (if there are more than one you can hold the ctrl key down while clicking to highlight two or more). When you submit your log the TB will be removed from your inventory and shown as being in the cache on the cache page.

==Activating a Travel Bug==
* Visit the Groundspeak web site.
* In the box under the Bug icon, enter in the Travel Bug number that is stamped on the bug you wish to activate. Click on the barcode beneath the box to visit that bug's web page.
* On the bug's page there is a link to activate your bug. Click on it (you will need to be logged in to Geocaching.com in order to activate).
* Enter in the tracking number and activation code into the boxes provided. Click to assign the bug to you.
* At this point the Travel Bug is activated as yours. Use the edit link in the upper right hand corner of the page to give your Travel Bug a name and description, and to upload images.

==Secret Number==
The number that is on a Travel Bug dog tag is considered by many to be kept secret to only those who have found it. The number allows anyone to move the hitch hiker from place to place and someone could cause harm if they had that number. Therefore, it's considered proper form to guard the secret number and not post it anywhere online whether in a log or a photo of the hitch hiker.

[[User:BigWhiteTruck|BigWhiteTruck]] 17:17, 29 November 2005 (EST) Lately I have been working hard to categorize articles and define categories.

It's a good idea to add this at the end of a category description:

Sesquicentennial State Park, Columbia, SC

2006-06-19T19:36:33Z

WestonWyse:

'''Sesquicentennial State Park''' ("Sesqui", for short), in Columbia, SC, is a good example of a [[geocaching park]]. There are a dozen caches, including several [[multi-stage cache]]s and one [[puzzle cache]], in an area just over one square mile. The park has a trail system on which the caches are placed, minimizing the amount of [[buswhacking]] necessary to find the caches.

== Location ==
Sesquicentennial State Park is loaced in Columbia, South Carolina. Though it was once on the northern edge of the city, the city has grown around the park, making the area outside the park boundaries very urban. The park is easily accessable from I-20 or I-77.

== Admission ==
Sesquicentennial State Park does charge admission. Please see the park's website (link below) for full details.

== Maps ==
