Huh. I wandered in here looking for help on paperless caching, as I just can't get anything to download to my pda, and ran across this thread. I just recently paid to be a premium member. But now I'm rethinking that. I am so sick to death of 'political correctness'!!! PC is simply a term for the process of degrading moral values, promoting socialism, and otherwise ruining our country. Bah! There is absolutely nothing wrong with the OP's description of the cache, and I feel it is a terrible insult to require re-wording of the description. I also believe that the 'lame find' poster was rude and out of line. If you don't like the cache, don't look for it! I saw no 'agenda'. And this cache didn't promote the legion any more than all those 'always' caches support WalMart. I don't like WalMart, and I don't shop at WalMart, but I chose to do the caches at WalMart. So what if I wrote in and complained about them being at WalMart. Doesn't make much sense, does it? No. Not liking WalMart, I could have chosen to bypass those caches; I didn't (hey, it's a find!) but it would have been intolerably silly of me to get them and then turn around and complain. And while this site is privately owned, and the owners can set rules, I think it's a terrible shame if they behave like I've seen happen in our public schools. Where a mere mention of God, a statement of "I love America', or 'Support our Troops' is immediately punished while the adminstrators run around practically soiling themselves for fear of the thought police. What are we becoming? Can we no longer be patriotic, God-fearing Americans? And why does political correctness have to rear it's ugly, nasty head in something innocent and fun that I love to do? Man, this is just depressing. And I still don't know how to go paperless.

Do you mean after you've found one? You log in at geocaching.com, go to the page of the cache you found, and in the small box at the upper right of the page click on "log your visit". That will open another page where you can write in your comments and choose the date and smilie. When you're done, just click the 'submit' button and there you are!

My friend Katerat brought her gps when she came over to visit for a weekend. A couple hours driving around later I was hooked. Bought my own gps soon after and now geocaching ranks as high as kayaking on my list of Favorite Things To Do. I was in heaven earlier today, caching while paddling!

Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but when I have a list of caches for an area, and click on the "map it" link in the upper right of the page, a new page loads, and the map frame loads, but the map itself remains blank. I've tried the links on a cache details page, down on the left where it says geocache yahoo or google maps, and it load the same page, with the same results. The map frame loads, but the map is blank. I'm running windows xp profesional, and IE 6. This is all very frustrating because we're leaving for vacation this week, and I'm trying to map out some caches in northern Michigan. Any advice? Thanks.

The link from tallenwa to the Amazon site, is that the actual topo dvd? Not an upgrade, or old version, but the actual topo 2008 that everyone had pre-ordered and just got? I'm new to GPS and geocaching, I just got a Garmin 60 csx, and was unpleasantly surprised at the base map. It doesn't even show any of the roads in my county! So I'm thinking about getting the topo for work, and the city navigator for exploring and geocaching, so I have routable road maps. From what I've read here, I'm trying to understand, is it possible to load and use both maps? Do I have to switch back and forth between them depending on what I'm doing, or do I have to always re-load each one before use? This newbie appreciates all helpful answers!
