  1. Ditto.. But just for fun- When you engineer a marble head stone in the shape of an ammo can,hollowed out with a working top.
  2. well thats more like stating historical fact not so much a political message. embarrassments that's embarrassmInts Not according to microsoft word But yes I noticed that.
  3. well thats more like stating historical fact not so much a political message. If I was thinking national embarrassments...He wouldn't be the first one that comes to mind. However,Trailgator's response to that cache would have been mine as well.
  4. You had us worried there genegene!Head line of the Washington,Mass local paper- "Geocachers find body parts in several local caches."
  5. Ditto.. Is it really worth the gas/time for me?Nope.That's just how I play my game.
  6. Heh...that's just like here in Iraq...not uncommon for a cache to sit unfound for three-five months.My buddy was in shock when I showed him the cache page that had been idle for three months.
  7. Simple observation. Most of my magellan experience comes from caching with Night Stalker when he had a sport track pro. I have a GPS V. I've seen the pro's and cons of how both GPSs operate. There are advantages and disadvantages to each. A magellan advantage. Less wandering under tree cover. The same things that causes the boomerange effect appears to keep you from wandering around so much. My garmin would bounce me from point to point while the Magellan kept to a tighter circle. Some attribute this to better receptoin but...we were able to figure how to really check the Sport Track's reception (after it didn't have any and reported that we should go the wrong direction...but that's another adventure) we found that there was no noticable real world difference. Nobod had a problem with Night Stalkers caches placed using the Sport Track. But we both tend to put our down and let them average while we hide the cache. They get 5-10 minutes of averaging. Joke RK...just a joke... I do notice on my new 60cx that it wanders like a mofo if I stand still and it has poor reception.I wanted to try an XL,but no one was convincing me in the thread I started that magellan was woth trying.Might still try one anyways.
  8. Um...when I get my moose tag...I might have to send you a PM for coords...hmmm :laughing:
  9. Heh...ditto on that. The only better ones are Partridge.I don't care how many times you've been in the woods and know where they'll be.To say they explode from their hiding spots is an understatement. Dang things get me EVERY time.I've yet to see how someone could shoot one from the spots I've seen em' fly (burst/explode) out of.
  10. Wow...8 hours. At least they'll be intresting slides, not Aunt Matilda I've never met outside of the museum of thimbles. One thing I found intresting is the AT leaves out some of the best scenery in the Appalacian range...The Adirondacks.Is there a trail that goes seperately through them,as the Long Trail does for our Green Mountains?There HAS to be...
  11. Hmmm...you got gears turning with that idea...(Yes that was the smoke you saw)
  12. Meh...I wouldn't do it...but that's just me.
  13. OP wasn't specific,so ladies' choice...
  14. That's what I was thinking.... Magellan users can have this issue. Even with the right datum. ??? My Magellan works as well as my dad's 60CX (we've tested).... What issue? Simple Magellan hatin' is all.No issue.
  15. Just because FTF sharks get into feeding frenzies doesn't mean cache owners need to use chum. Me thinks I just found a sutable replacement for the ol' sig line quote.
  16. Why do you care? What makes you think I do? In the spirit of the thread, NO CACHER NAMES OR LINKS were to be used. It stayed that way for years. The thread is to make fun of the logs and NOT TO BELITTLE fellow cachers. Frankly, I'm surprised this thread has been allowed to go on this long. There is at least one person who regularly posts here who frequently includes the name of the cachers involved in the body of the log, although s/he does remove the name from the top of the log. I keep hoping that this entire thread would either be closed or just fall off the page and be forgotten. If there was ever any real humor to the thread, it faded for me when it occurred to me that might be intentional. Perhaps it's time to let this one go? Yeah,I'm thinkin' NO. This thread is the anonymous wall of shame for those that can't seem to cache with integrity.Honestly I'd love to see usernames.Then you know who the honest folks are,and not the find count padders.You'll never see one of my logs here.And realistically there should be no need for this thread if you think about it.Act with integrity.Either you found it or you didn't Plain and simple.
  17. Where's that green with envy smiley... Oh man do I want a couple of Belgians or Percherons someday.....
  18. What the ((Hug))stress said....
  19. I think out of all the posts,I agree with dkwolf the most.Everyone wants a way around something now or a shortcut it seems like these days.This Geo-Genie idea does not allow one to develop problem solving skills.Where is that feel of triumph and satisfaction when you finally solve the puzzle?Way to many would just Geo-Genie a puzzle someone worked hard on to create.I rank this up there with not reading the cache page. Just accept the fact that every cacher cannot find every cache.I don't scuba,I don't rock climb,and I'm not into mountaineering,so there's just some caches I'm never going to find.Ask how VinnyandSue Team would feel if they discovered a cacher had sent in a climber to get one of their 5 star pyscho urban caches?This is at the same level.The log would be deleted,and so would the one on my puzzle cache that said the 'finder'used Geo-Genie. Sorry,but there's just caches out there that aren't for everyone,to include me.I hold no angst towards caches I will not be able to claim.In fact,you might look at those types of caches,and it just might make you say,"Maybe I should try something new to get it?"
  20. I usually do it by keeping another tab open for the forum(So essentially I've two tabs open in the same brower window for the GS forum.),then I can do a thread search,or reply to the post and cut and paste that into the response,or do whatever I need to do.Just easier for me I spose.
  21. Exactly.Change it to all posts...I did for general topics.I have another window open in my browser and I've been sifting through threads since 2000.It will list them all.
  22. Might be easy to do,since my buddy has a 60csx and I've got a 60cx...and we've both got GPS V's and I've also got a II,so we could mix them up,but we'd know right away who's who's.
  23. That's what I was thinking. As for slack...nah.Have some integrity in your body and log the DNF.Or don't.I've never logged ALL of my DNF's.No shame in doing either one.But dropping a new container is something else all together.
