    Northeast PA Geocaching event

    in Northeast

    Posted

    Anyone have the trail maps for Ricketts Glen. Or a scan maps of the trails for ExpertGPS?

     

    I emailed the park asking about trail maps since I didn't see them on the web site. But it would be nice to have the trail maps with cordinates already.

    It sounds like fun. I hope to make camping reservations real soon. Never been up to this State Park. A friend and I will be coming up from the York area.

    Friend and I was talking about how nice it would be if amateur HT's had this feature. We are into APRS and this feature would be a lot of fun in the field. I'm suprise Icom, Kenwood and Yaesu hasn't jumped on this.

    I also added the "last found date" for benchmarks that have been found by the community already, and the benchmark find count is listed on your profile. Jeremy Irish

     

    Thanks Jeremy! This is a big help in finding benchmarks that haven't been found by the community.

     

    Is it possible to add benchmarks found to a user

    profile page so we can view their benchmarks found just like their regular caches found?

    Personal Travel Bugs VS Traditional Travel Bugs

    I use a Personal Travel Bug.

     

    Travel Bug

     

    I use it to show the same logs at caches I visit. It's a whole lot easier when my friends want to see what caches I done. Not all of them are geocachers but are interested in the places I visit. The other way they need to click on each cache and look to find my posting. Here it's all in one place.

     

    I don't care about the mileage. I don't pay any attention to that. It really meanless when you use a Personal Travel Bug.

     

    If there was a easier way to display just the logs for a user I would reuse this tag and send out another real Travel Bug.

    I probably would be interested in some. I like the globe image for the back.

    That is cool looking. I find a similar one in the park by our Capital. It has a date of 1877 on the base.

    Same thing has happen to the pictures I uploaded. I don't like the white space. It shows up in

    my pictures also.

    I never had any problems withe the 100k limit before. It wasn't an issue to resize before uploading.

    SouthCentral PA: event cache June 1 '02

    There will also be caches put out at MiddleCreek by CCCooperAgency, just for June 1.

     

    You are welcome to visit both locations in one day!

     

    If the caches are being put out for 1 day at MiddleCreek why isn't the picnic there? I thought

    the picnic was going to be at MiddleCreek. Seems to make sense if we are there for the caches to stay there for the picnic.

    I been away for three days and been trying to catch up on what has been happening with the picnic. I'm a little confused. Will the picnic be held in the original location or just the caches be held there?
