MessageAccording to this logic..
If two people use one GPS they can only claim the cache one time between =
them.
Does that mean when I use two gps's for one person I get two finds.
That should boost the numbers a little.
I think this whole thread was becoming to serious.

Hmmm... tough crowd. I didn't realize Bill and I would cause such a =
ruckus. I do this for FUN (and because I'm addicted but that's a =
different story), and I'm just lucky that because I'm a newbie, I'm able =
to play catch-up and have a blast getting a bunch in a short period of =
time. In any case, I'm not taking this whole "how many GPSr's?" thing =
seriously, however, I don't mind playing devil's avocate and making a =
few friendly comments. (Nothing like stirring the pot)
=20
- Even though we (CacheLess and I) team up, I have been known to =
secretly grab the cache, try to sign the log and return it before =
CacheLess notices. He really hates it when I try to do that... but not =
that he hasn't tried the same thing to me. With that kind of behavoir, =
I'm sure he's GLAD I'm not on his team.
- CacheLess has come with me to get caches that he already has logged. =
Despite begging, he refuses to tell me anything.. and even laughs at me =
on occasion. With that kind of behavior, I'm glad he's not on MY team.
- So... if I knew where the Pueblo Grande Museum was, and I didn't use =
my GPS to get there, then it doesn't count as a geocache find?
- I've seen users who simply use the mapquest maps to get close and =
find the cache just by searching the area. Should their logs be =
deleted?
- What about a person who stumbles across a cache, discovering =
geocaching for the first time. Does he need to buy a GPS, then return =
to the cache later to be able to sign the log?
Keep in mind, I'm not being serious here. I'm just trying to say that =
geocaching is supposed to be FUN, and that's all we're trying to do: =
HAVE FUN!

Truth be known, I did understand Regan's question, but I wanted him =
to ask it straight out. To be honest, I'm quite offended by the =
question. Had he bothered to become informed before raising an issue, =
he would have known that a number of my caches have been done with my =
family. That fact is even put forth in word and photo on my profile =
page. Yes, TheWebbman and I have done a great many caches together. So =
to have Tres Hombres, Lazy K, and Team C.H.U.M.P. There are also a =
number of caches that we both have gotten, but at different times, as =
well as caches that only one of us have. I wonder if this question has =
posed to those teams or any of the others that frequently hunt together.
For the record, I wouldn't be caught away from home without my GPS =
12 and TheWebbman is quite fond of his Legend. It's amazing what a =
little bit of competition will bring out in a person.

On March 17th at 11:40 a.m. RandMan responded with his =
interpretation of Regan's question and thoughts:
Bill,
Didn't you read the fine print in the rules for the definition of =
what a "team" is? If both you and "The Webbman" used the same GPSr to =
find all of the 250+ caches that you found together, then you would be =
considered a "team" and can only record your finds as a team (together). =
You cannot both claim finds separately. Therefore, one of you will =
need to delete all of the caches that you found together (which in turn =
will move everyone up a point in the AZ stats) [:)] . [;-)]=20
