El Diablo is sponsering a contest to win a cool hiking staff with your avatar hand carved on it. All you have to do is post on this thread.

I was hiking on the Knobstone trail in southern In. and ran into a guy (quiddler) carrying a GPSr. We talked for about an hour before he said, "I have to go." Curious as to why a wilderness hiker had to go, I asked. The rest is history: He took me with him to the cache he was seeking, told me about travelbugs, virtuals, locationless caches, etc. I found the cache in question, signed the log book, and became addicted to this wonderful sport. ============="If it feels good...do it"============== **(the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say: "Don't do it.")** .

My Camelbak H.A.W.G. works just fine. Plenty of room for caching materials, etc. The only time anything gets wet is when it rains. ============="If it feels good...do it"============== **(the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say: "Don't do it.")** .

I'm using an antique--Garmin 12. It works quite well. I have thought about upgrading, but "the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say don't do it!" ============="If it feels good...do it"============== **(the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say: "Don't do it.")** .

"Tanks," Markey, but being your basic computer illiterate, I'm not sure I can do that. I know I could send an attachment through regular email, but I don't know how to do that through Groundspeak. Can you please draw me a picture?...seriously. ============="If it feels good...do it"============== **(the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say: "Don't do it.")** .

Mine has worked out quite well. I"ve gotten some cool responses in the month it's been placed. It's 50 YEAR OLD HARD CA$HE NOW YOU CAN'T LOG IT!!

There's more than a hundred candidates! It's going to be hard to vote without some kind of condensed ballot. I think you should post a list of 20 or so finalists (picked by you or someone) so the voting will be easier. I also think you (or someone) should include me on that list! ============="If it feels good...do it"============== **(the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say: "Don't do it.")** .

An approver or other ADMIN must have seen the post and changed the map. Only about an hour ago the map was Belfast, Ireland and London. ============="If it feels good...do it"============== **(the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say: "Don't do it.") .

Call me old fashion...I think the metal tags would have more ascetic integrity. Also, having just 1 style available would standardize them, making them easier to spot. And, the current price is not unreasonable. ============="If it feels good...do it"============== **(the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say: "Don't do it.") .

I've had the idea of a canoe cache, too. There are already a couple in my area. One word of caution: This sport is addicting! Welcome to geocaching. ============="If it feels good...do it"============== **(the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say: "Don't do it.") .

The makin's of a nightmare! I've been tramping in the woods and canoeing all my life. And most of it I've had the awful feeling that someday I'll stumble onto a body. ============="If it feels good...do it"============== **(the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say: "Don't do it.") .

I have 2 bugs and several more in the oven. My fist bug was picked up shortly after I released it. It appeared in another cache in about a week. It was picked up quickly again, with the promise that it would make it into Tennessee within the week. After 4 weeks I became concerned and emailed the cacher who had it. Two weeks later it was placed in a cache near to my home (Indianapolis). The other cacher never responded to my email. Ironically, my other bug sat in its original cache for about 2 weeks and was picked up and promptly delivered to eastern Tennessee. I think some cachers, especially ones who don't own travelbugs just don't realize how nervous bug owners get. Anyway, back on topic, I think it is appropiate to email a cacher who has your bug anytime. Maybe even start a friendly correspondence (not necessarily about travelbugs). This could ease your mind that the cacher has not died or taken up another hobby. It might also serve as a gentle reminder that you're still alive and caching (and concerned about your bug). I empathize with your predicament. Perception is reality and not everyone perceives time the same. ============="If it feels good...do it"============== **(the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say: "Don't do it.") .

An excellent idea. I can't think of anyplace I'd rather send my $$$. Count me in! ============="If it feels good...do it"============== **(the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say: "Don't do it.") .
