Garza looked really perplexed that he could get a foul called from elbowing someone in the face.
Because they called a foul on Connor?
(based on reading the ESPN play by play)
I like to think I would have scored much more back in my day if I were allowed to take several steps with the ball and elbow people to get closer to the basket.
Got called for a block and fell pretty far backwards and I believe got called for a flop too.
Huh. That's not what I see when I bring up the cache. It's a premium member cash - are you a premium member?
At any rate, the description I get is this:
You are looking for a Decon container. Please place all of the camo back to completely cover this container when rehiding.
In July 2009, Scooby Drew found his first logged cache in this very park (a little northeast of this hide, closer to the deer statue — “Endora’s Cache”, GC1VFM5). This new cache is being placed on what would have been Drew’s 60th birthday but liver cancer cut his life too short. Scooby continues to live in my heart and is with me in spirit on all my Geocaching excursions.
This is a decon container:

From the description, I'm guessing it's in the tree roots.
Yea I am a premium member, most of the caches in Dallas "require" premium and honestly it's a good thing to support for kinda cheap. Plus they are still honoring my 50% boy scout discount from 10+ years ago so it's really not a big deal.
Oh trust me, I've even cheated and seen a picture of the damn box in the tree that it's in and still can't find it.
I've only ever GCed with friends so i dont know a lot about it, but how do you know it is still there? Like you said people are tagging it or whatever recently but what is the process to do that? Like a QR code or something?
2 ways to know. People tag it when they find it and lots of people take pictures as proof. There's no QR code, you just log it on the Geocache site (and in the paper log of the cache itself). The other can be the creator of the cache is "required" to maintain it and track when they maintain it. Then if the owner doesn't mark it as maintained after a certain period of time (I think 6 months) it gets marked in the Geocache app that it may be gone.
We're premium also. I agree - it's cheap entertainment. I wonder why your write up looks different than mine? That's why I asked if you were premium.
Frequency of disabling caches varies with the local "authorities" - the folks that certify the caches as valid, maintained, etc. Sometimes it's because of too many DNF's, but most often it's because cachers have marked various caches as "maintenance required". If the owner doesn't respond in a timely manner (I've seen as short as 2 months), Geocache will generally send them a reminder in the online log. If there is still no response from the owner, Geocache disables it. The final step if the owner still doesn't perform the maintenance is to archive the cache. There's no coming back from that; the cache is dead.
Around here, there are a few caches that are winter disabled by the owner, generally for safety reasons.
Welp he's a Hawkeye fan. And what an odd pairing Joan Jett and Miley Cyrus.
Weak, I had -17 on the car thermometer and the 1st site I stopped at has a weather station they had -20 at 4a.m. . What was weird with no wind it seemed way nicer than Sat. afternoon. Up to a balmy 1 degree right now.
4 mile walkabout. DNF
Added vintage ski googles today since sunnyglasses fogged up so bad yesterday. It was sunny today, didn't want to go full on snowblind. Wind chill was only -17. Got closer to home and saw neighbor and my buddy Dash, his dog. They did not recognize me.
