  1. I dug up this post so I wouldn't have to start a new one. (maybe I should have.)

     

    Would it be a hard thing to change our zip coordinates? Or at least assign the real Enumclaw's +4?

  2. Enumclaw WA's zip is terribly off. I really don't mind, but it would definitely cause problems for out-of-towners searching for Enumclaw's closest caches. The cache closest to our post office doesn't show up on a 98022 search until page 3.

     

    For some reason Crystal Mountain is where our zip coordinates are.

     

    If you have some spare time, map 98022 and see what you get. It's kind of funny, in a barren mountain map way. <_<

  3. Last summer I read daily and occationally posted. After awhile I became tired of arrogant posters and stupid arguments. I actually took some remarks personally and began loosing interest. This even affected my general outlook of caching. I began caching less and eventually took a month or so off.

     

    I'm back now with a new and improved "forum skin"! I've realized that you'll get jerks anywhere you go. The forums and the "sport" are two totally different things, one is for fun and the other is for talking about it.

     

    I really like the changes that have been made to the forums. I'll more than likely not be so much of a lurker from now on.

  4. What a great year it's been!

     

    I read the forums often last summer and had some good laughs. (the river dancing grandma comes to mind!) I eventually got tired of all the arguing and petty remarks by certain posters and I stopped comming here. A few weeks ago I started "lurking" and really like what I'm seeing!

     

    My vote goes to Jeremy, or whoever is responsible for tidying up around here.

     

    Renegade Knight gets my non-admin vote.

  5. Ya know, I can't think of anywhere one would find a toy porcupine? Maybe you could make one out of bake-able clay? If you're not at all artistic or adventurous,maybe you could print a nice picture and laminate it?

  6. This is a great thread. I will have to agree that finding an accurate benchmark has to be the best method for a non-military-type to test accuracy. I wish I could mount my unit to an F-15's windshield but that's out of the question. icon_rolleyes.gif

     

    I found a famous Markwell Photographer's Cache this summer where I'm pretty sure the coords were found on the web. I tried like the devil to zero out my GPSr, but "ground zero" was behind the ranger shack that was the objective.

    The closest I got was 1 foot. (not bad!) I handed the unit to my daughter for the pic and it mooved to 3 ft. My kids thought I was nuts! Making them stand behind the shack while I did Tai-Chi with a GPSr. LOL

    Here's the pic.

  7. I like the idea. If we could check which bugs a person has moved, we could get an idea of approx. how long they like to hold onto bugs.

     

    Not that would help in locating MIA bugs but it would be a neat addition that I would use.

  8. Uhm...My name's not Vlad but let me explain.

     

    I would go out at night if I worked late, but I don't work at all now icon_cool.gif so I choose to go out mostly in the morning.

     

    Maybe I'll down a few beers one night and head out for a few FTF's. It does sound like fun!
