You're right, that was a lame rant. I give it a rating of 1/1.

I like Nightstalker1967's POA (plan of attack). When do we start lobing hand grenades at it?
-
I've done the same thing, walking in circles. Now, when I'm within 100ft or so, I'll stop and let the GPS settle in while I'm looking ahead for the spot. Like in the movie Starwars " may the force be with you".

I am on call this weekend at work, so there won't be much time for fun. Tried to sneak one in on the way home from work but got called back in, double time is hard to turn down. Maybe next weekend will be better.

Nothing better than a Beefeater martini, up, with a few Sam Adams chasers and a fine hand rolled Honduran cigar somewhere in the middle.

I think GC.com won a Webby.

I would only take her if wife insisted. What's the difference between in-laws and outlaws? Outlaws are wanted.

Went with my bro to check on one of his after a post had it 100yd off, sure enough, after much searching and a little help we found it. Some jackass who thought he knew more had moved it. Why do people move caches? Do they think their cord. are better or are they just ignorant?

There once was a man from Nantuckett, who hid a cache so small Jeremy wouldn't post it.He said with a grin, as he hid it again, I'll make it a virtual and he wont notice it.

Hey El Diablo, what if geocaching was around when the movie Cool Hand Luke was made? Luke would have thought of something to mess with the guards. Remember the line when he's behind the bush, "I'm shaking it Boss". Too bad there wasn't a cache hidden behind the bush.

I'm a newbie and proud of it! My Mer. Plat. tracks looks like that but I refuse to clear it until its full. I'm going to roll the tripometer over too, so far I have 4317 miles on it. I have gone up a notch though, I finally have an avatar.

This is the motivation I needed to make mine. Thanks for the kick in the rear.

Test check

To blindly ban all virtual vacation caches is wrong. All regular caches are banned in Nat. parks and State parks are going that way. Virtuals are all that is left. As far as maintaince goes, I think most virtuals are maintaince free. If it does require maint., the cacher should be prepared to do so. I don't think you would be taking a local cacher's spot, if they liked the spot they would have one there already.Some said they are lame, don't hunt them, besides, there's alot of lame 1/1 regular caches. What's to be banned next,Lame 1/1 reg. caches? Just some wandering thoughts.

I have the same problems also, mostly on weekends when the site is overloaded.
-
I think some of the sniping is from frustrated Garmin users who are losing their sat. signal under tree cover and taking it out on this forum.

I am new to geocaching (5 months 30 finds) this is the first site I heard about and use. I think it is great. Recently I heard of a different site and tried to post it to this topic (list of competitors) but it was intercepted by the powers that be and not posted, still waiting for a explanation. Maybe thats why others are tiptoeing around the question of listing competitors. Maybe they are afraid of a little competiton. As I tried to state in my original post, the "other" site brought you to this sites caching page and I questioned why that is so

If anyone is a Bullseye pistol shooter they would know me. My team won the Natonal Team Match at Camp Perry two years in a row, 1999 & 2000.

I went to Pro Bass Outdoor World in Cincinnati to look at all the GPSr and fondle them,then surfed the net for prices. Ended up buying my Mer. Plat. at THEGPSSTORE.com. They have a picture of their building on their website.

Try going to Magellan's web site and download the revision from there.

I bought my Platinum 3/24/03, promptly sent in rebate (after I made copies of everything). Called Wheresmyrebate last week of May, was told check would be mailed 6/24/03. I hope it arrives.
-
I forgot to mention that I think they are $249. individually at THEGPSSTORE.COM

I got my Platinum at THEGPSSTORE.COM. Mine was a package deal-GPSr,32meg card,PC cable and Mapsend Streets and Destinations for $399. plus $75. rebate from Magellan for a total of $324. If you plan on making large maps I recommend getting a card reader/writer.

Cachers into shooting sports

I'm a Bullseye shooter and also shoot air pistol. RK, you should try air pistol. You can shoot in the house and it will really improve your trigger control. Shooting and caching are alike in several ways, non-players want to regulate them for one.
