-CacheMonkey-

Congratulations to Skoshie on the occasion of her 500th find during our trip to Geowoodstock VI.

..

At the ripe old age of 2, my mom found me on top of the refrigerator, earning me the nickname Monkey. When I started caching, it seemed like a good fit.

The first TB I ever moved was TS Woody and I found him in Federal Way, Wa in March 07. To my surprise, I ran into him again at the TB tent at Geowoodstock VI. I thought that was pretty cool.

Oh yeah...gotta have one!!! Please add me to the list!

I flew from Baltimore to Salt Lake to Seattle on Delta in May and didn't have a problem. I asked the flight attendant before powering up. She said no at first with what sounds like the standard send/receive signal excuse. I explained that it didn't send signals, only received them. After that, she said "go ahead." Pretty cool to see us trucking along at 500+mph at 15k feet. I turned on the track log and watched our path as we flew.

I recently had a bug travel throughout the Midwest with a family. He made many great stops, but his "ride" also mentioned visits to other cool places, but didn't log a find/drop in those areas. It would really have been cool to see where my TB had actually been, even if just to get his toes wet. So my vote is to dip! Dip early and dip often!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can "grab it" from the person who has it, then just log a note in the cache it's really in and drop it there, or maybe discover it there. Grabbing it should be easy, it's the dropping part I'm not so sure of. Good luck.

I was in DC in May and "grabbed" as many of the area virtuals as I could. The very first night we were there we went to the White House virtuals and "found" them with no problems from any LEOs. I will confess that I didn't read ALL the replies to this thread as my eyes started getting a bit buggy, so I don't know if any actual LEO's responded. I can speak, as an LEO, that once I learned about geocaching, NOT FROM ANY INTEL BULLETINS, it shed a whole new light on all those "suspicious person" calls I've been sent to over the years. As a geocacher and a cop, geocaching activity is about as close to "textbook" suspicious behavior as I've seen. Added that the cacher has a gpsr, or camera, or both just adds to the perceived suspiciousness. Citizens who don't know about caching, will call about ANYTHING. As I've read in other threads, I suggest you keep a copy of the geocaching notice to non-players, be completely honest and open. The "I'm not doing anything wrong, you have no right to stop me" response to a cop will get you nowhere fast! Understand they/we're doing our jobs and if you've got nothing to hide, it should be no bid deal. One last thing. The Secret Service cannot afford to blow off a geocacher and not investigate. Maybe it was a bit overboard, but the consequences of not doing their job are much greater than most LEO's. Stay safe.

If you're like me, you have a Mac because Windows blows! I use GPS Babel. It works great for transfering the .gpx files to my Garmin Legend C. You can also use it to convert the gpx file into many other formats or back into a gpx. If you insist on using the packaged Garmin software, then you'll have to run it on Windows. I have found no reason to do this. For geocaching, gps babel is all I need. Check here: http://www.gpsbabel.org/index.html

Well, I use GPS babel to transfer my gpx waypoints onto my Garmin eTrex Legend C, it works fine on my iMac G5. I also use MacCaching, but not as much. Happy hunting!!

If you download GPS Babel: http://www.gpsbabel.org/download.html , you can convert a gpx file into a S&T pushpin file. Then you import data in S&T, select the file you converted, and you'll have it. Happy hunting!!!

That was pretty much what I figured. Thanks and happy hunting!!

I'm curious to know why I can run my other pocket queries each day of the week, but am limited to running My Finds only once a week. I'm not complaining about it, just wondering what the reasoning behind it was. If this has been answered someplace else, please point me in that direction. I've searched the FAQ's and forums with no luck. Thanks.
