    Spell checker

    in Website

    Posted

    Call me lazy or just an idiot, but is there any possible way to incorporate a spell checker into the cache log sequence? Maybe this could be a premium member feature. Any thoughts would be apprecaited, oops I mean appreciated. icon_rolleyes.gif

    Photos on forum

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    I was about to upload a small photo onto the forums and see that it asks for a URL. Does this mean that if I move or delete the image file from my hard drive the photo will disappear from the forum log?

    Camelbak question

    As far as cleaning, I have found the following procedure works well:

     

    Insert 2 or 3 wadded up paper towels into the bladder

     

    Replace cap

     

    Blow up the bladder from the drinking tube

     

    Shake well

     

    Remove cap

     

    Remove paper towels

     

    Dry Camelbak!

    Note: I added this info back into my original post

    So if I understand you, the bolt needs more threads added near it's base so it will tighten to the GPS?

    Junk Toys and Trinkets

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    I have watched this discussion for the past 3 days and not surprisingly everyone is motivated by different cache goals. Some ignore the toys and trinkets, others specifically avoid the T &T and still others have young children that will only accompany them if there is surprise waiting.

     

    While the majority abhor the uneven trading that results in broken Mickey D items, a couple unbelievably cache specifically for the junk! I guess that "junk" drawer in the kitchen is not enough, its just fun to search through the neighbor’s junk.... icon_rolleyes.gif

     

    Fortunately the GC administrators have created a forum that appeals to all, this is my third year, and I am going strong. Over this period my children have grown and still enjoy a good cache hunt, although their tastes have changed and prefer the hunt to the treasure. Still, I must admit that at times I still revel in a find filled with Toys and Trinkets!

     

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Jpjazz icon_razz.gif

I agree that you just shouldn't take anything if you don't have something of equal or greater value to replace it with. One cache I've been to recently looked as if someone had eplaced everything it it with bits of trash they had picked up on the way. While it's good that they are concerned about litter, I think that it's akin to stealing.

     

    They must have missed the "TO" of the "TITO" motto. Trash In, Trash Out!

    Thanks for the ideas, also the past thread. While these will work, I would prefer a bolt that could be removed without a screwdriver inorder to connect the data cable. I will keep looking for such hardware.

    Retail GPS Waypoints?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    icon_razz.gif I load my Mag 330 and/or Meriplat with base maps to guide me on the surface streets. If XXX burgerplace would would make all their location coords available we could down load them ahead of time.

     

    Software such as Streets and Destinations attempts to fill this need, but they are not close to being up to date. Maybe GC could sign an aggreement with various franchises and make them available through the site. Even Geocachers have to stuff their face and fill their tanks from time to time.
