  3. im pretty new at this still but i have over 70 finds my imediate area is now pretty much done for me and the two closest towns arnt much better i would cache 3-4 days a week if there were enough caches to sustain me because it is a great way to see places i havnt been to mostly because i didnt even knkow half theese places existed. theese days i find my self revisiting old sites to trade travel bugs. if i cant get my cache count up i can get my bug count up.. and still get my exersise.

At first I thought I'd be caching only on the weekends, but I find I am attempting many of the urban micros that are close to me in the early a.m. before I go into work. I have yet to do a traditional, out-in-the-desert, up on a mountain cache, but I am looking forward to it!

  4. in short yes you can just go to your page and edit your profile its that easy... mind you all your prevous posts will still have your old nick name on them you can if you like go and edit those as well its up to you but they will still be credited to your new name. and when people click on your profile under your old name they will be directed to your updated page

  5. I agree that trades should be fair but i also like to see the small toys in the cache .... Personaly they are a great way to encourage my kids to go hiking and they dont even realize there doing it cause to them its like finding pirates treasure (great fun for an 8 year old)... but this is about fair trades a bug for a bug a cool hat for a t-shirt ect...i also like to hunt for signature items it and personaly i leave my own signature items when i cache... they ususaly cost me about5-10 to make. i realy dont care what people trade cause once ive been to a cache im not likly to go back to it unless im trading TB but i can see the point of other cachers who set up a cool cache and go to do maintanence on it and find only bottle caps left in it... thus my reasoning for making cheeper caches in awsome locations... it truly isnt about the contents its about the adventure and the site each cache brings you too. hopefully its sonmewhere youve never seen with an awsome view. I hope that caching never becomes a greed issue for me an my caching family. just my rambling thoughts and happy caching to all.

  6. im relitivly new to this i only started about 3 months ago when people ask mey why i do it i tell them its not about the cache its self but where the co-ords take me most of the time im being taken to a view or a great camping site or park i never knew existed in my own back yard so to speak... the hikes get me out and lets face it i need the exersise. so for me it kills 2 birds with one stone.... theres nothing wrong with enjoying the fringe bennifits of geocaching.

  7. im also planning to buy a new gps and ive been heading towards the magellan sport only because i have used magellan 315 and i have also used a garman yellow and the yellow doesnt keep a good signal unter trees where as my magellan keeps a signal even in dense evergreens.

    my question is to garmen users in the new modles is the reception better. Does it hold a signal or does it get lost alot?

    It's easy to solve this problem graphically, and you don't even need a map to determine the coordinates of the unknown waypoint. Simply use a sheet of grid paper and scale the X and Y axes to include all the points. In this example each UTM grid square is _1km by 1km_ with _100-meter subdivisions_. You could also add 10-meter subdivisions if your scale is fine enough. Most GPS receivers will resolve UTM coordinates down to 1 meter. You could also solve this algebraically, but I think this is just as good considering the inherent inaccuracies. Hope this helps.

     

    Cheers ...
