Thanks for the info on airline and GPS. Will be flying Southwest soon and looked at web site but could not find info. Will look again.

Anyone got a used Bathyscalp laying around? Very watertight. Sometimes the screw-on lid (PB jars) type leak air as pressure changes. Also humidity in the air can settle out into water. Having said that, I used a PB jar and after putting plastic wrap and screwing on lid sprayed it with expanding seal foam. While foam was wet, threw on some dirt and leaves. When dry I added a little spray paint for touch-up. Then a razor blade cut through foam to the cap/jar seam. Opens/closes fine and have had no water problems, maybe because insulating foam?

OOPS! Just talked to my son and he found one there. They are listed - just search by near Lat. & Lon. HH Randy

Have not seen anything about Iraq so thought I would throw this in. My son is there with Military and we were talking about geocaching. NOT in the open countryside! LOL Some bases are pretty large. Wonder if military allows it on bases. ? Randy

Are there a lot of GeoCaches at the North and South Poles?

Step one on GC page says against law. We hike and hunt for deer/elk in them tho. But no GC is what I understand.

I used Google Maps before hiding mine but there was a hidden leg of a multi too close so it was rejected. Am unsure what to do now as state and national forests are off limits. Maybe a timber company will allow it on their land? Our local parks are full I was told by reviewer. Oh well....

I put a cache in a local park. More than the required distance from the nearest published cache. Was told I must move it as there was a hidden leg of a multi too close. Also that all parks in this area are saturated. Must travel far away and get position, submit it for review before hiding mine. Hope you have better luck. Randy

Looking for flux capacitors on E_Bay....

Thank you all for the data. I guess I am too impatient Randy

Hello, I did a search for newest caches in the USA. Top one was in Alabama enabled June 30 2007. How do I get a time travel machine to be FTF? Is now May 1 2007. How do they do this?

Joke cache sounds fun to me. I might beat a spider with a stick tho. and if it was glued to the lid may make a frizbee out of it. The sound ones may be the best.

I am using the KML I got from this web site. Do I need to buy the update from Google to make it work better? Do not have Palm Pilot or anything like that Just use GE to see the terraine. Yes am a premiem member and just hid my first! Thanks for the input all Randy

Thanks, now I know what those are. Better than screw on lids? What are the colored ones?

Are the blue and yellow things "Lock-n-Lock"? How do I follow a pic for a link? I guess you already have to know ....

Hello, I downloaded Google Earth and it Great. See the landscape from a birds view. Sometimes it even gets the caches in view. When it does tho, there are yellow pins in a 1/4 mile area all saying the same thing. What am I doing wrong? Randy

I just made my first cache today. Dollar store plastic jar with screw-on lid. Sprayed on expanding foam with dirt and leaves thrown on while sticky. Will hide it May 1 and try and figure out how to publish a new cache.

There is no "Disuss Geocaching" link on main page. Or maybe I am blind.

I like the idea of the smashed pennies. Have some extras from trip to Maui Hawaii, and some from Oregon beach tourist places. Carabiners used for keys and a quick lock so my ice chest doesn't slide all over the bed of my pickup. Garage sales have small toys. What is a "magic towel"?

Tnx for the info. I was thinking state parks where there is a camping area and also lots of other "woods". Most here in Oregon let you drive thru and visit with folks at no charge. Will ask on check in. Good point about maintenance. Am learning.

Happy to you! We all can help if we put our mind to it. Just got a 3,5,7 irons from goodwill for $3. nice walking sticks and reason to be out.

6th time try because of muggles running amok, we found it. Much joy and happiness by Tristan and me. Harry Dolphin, can I get the recipe for long pig?

Am newbie but love this. Are caches allowed in state or county campgrounds? We plan to travel some this summer and maybe others too. Can I plant some wherever I am? Thanks for advice.

Started out with a cloth bag made out of an old pants leg with a long handle to go over shoulder. Graduated to a $1 sports bag for all, (cell phone, Ham radio, food & drink), and when out of vehicle on short walk, use the leg bag. I do put batteries, pens, swag etc. in seperate ziplocks.
