  1. Got mine yesterday. Mailed from same post office as the others, 46052.

    My address was correct as was the city. State should have been Ohio but was Maryland. Zip code was wrong also, 21014, which is in Maryland.

     

    I hope someone from the Frog is seeing this, so that the problem can be fixed for next time.

     

    I'll ask the postman how it got to the right place.

     

    Just glad I got one!

  2. I am having fun with the August souvenirs. First of all I am getting good at spelling souvenir!

     

    I knew that I would not be able to get all 31, as school starts at the end of the month, and I will be working crazy hours. So I decided to use the souvenirs to help me fill in my 366 grid. I am only looking for caches on days that will add to my 366 grid. I thought it would be a cool way to remember why I got those specific days. (well I made a mistake and found one on the 5th that wasn't needed....oh well)

    It has been fun because I almost never look for LPC's when I cache, and I always plan my caching day. The last two I grabbed I drove to an area and said I'll go for that one! Pretty fun actually.

     

    As for the theme of going for a streak, I should be able to beat my last streak of 5 days this week with 7 so I am happy for that.

     

    I forgot the art part, there always has to be an art part for me!

    I enlarged the 31 days map, and I found an orange bandanna (could not find an orange sweat band), and am taking a photo with the day's souvenir near GZ for my gallery.

  3. Logged a DNF today, looked for like an hour. I was hoping to be the second to find. Funny enough the FTF was a new cacher with 35 finds, and they said they spotted it in 5 minutes! Since it was the first one of the day I was pretty bummed. but then I got 4 smiles for the day, so pretty good!

  4. Like most things I do, I do them differently. I like to use the map only. Even back with my Sportrak I used the map, and it was just the base map with no topo.

    I like the map screen because I think it helps me visualize where the cache is. I use it track up, so that I can see where I should try to head towards. I also like to see how I am walking across the ground. Must be the art school in me, It's just more 'visual'.

  5. I know this may be crazy, but I would like the hint to be unencrypted in the app so that I can decode it by hand. Maybe it could be a setting or a toggle option. I have always done it that way in my paper-full days, and wish I could do it now.

     

    edit for clarity.

  6. Your first and only cache was submitted for review on 18 November (Seattle time) and published on 20 November (Seattle time).

     

    There is no definitive list of qualifications to be a volunteer cache reviewer, but rudimentary math skills are a plus.

     

    Hello I Might be ten but give me a puzzle .....Bang ive done it -.- its easy for me I love maths like 3+3= eight 2+2= fish and 7+7=triangle BOOM you have to draw them its simple! I love maths so I think I can do it! (with my dog )

     

    i actually say 2+2= applesauce when I am trying to get someone to think about a problem in a different way!

  7. When I first started caching I had found a cache and had walked over to a bench to sign the log. Well right there on the bench was an eraser from the art supply store where I work. i could tell because we hand write our prices on items, and it sure was my handwriting! I thought that was pretty cool.

  8. Ya I have been looking at that one too, and have been waiting for someone else to bring it up. I might have it on all the time!

     

    Question: Would the lack of maps be weird, after have all the bells and whistles of a 60csx?

     

    Well it wont be long now as the say it's a 3rd quarter item.

  9. Thank to everyone who gave me some advice about caching in San Diego. I had a really great time there and the caching was a lot of fun too. I only cached for one day, and the Daily Ranch was very close to where we were staying. I had a great 5 mile hike and found five caches. It was amazing how quiet it was out there, and after I got further from the parking area the less people I saw. Truly a great day.

     

    I posted pics to most of the caches, here is the list:

    It was funny, after I was done in the Daily Ranch, I was bummed I didn't even see any snakes! Well bummed might not be the right word....

  10. Will be around for a week in July. I have been looking at some caches and have seen the snake icon. I am used to keeping my eyes out for ticks and poison ivy. So I was wondering what sort of precautions I should take when in your part of the world.

     

    Also, what are the caches I should look at to get.

     

    I am looking forward to visiting SD, and grabbing some caches in the hills.

     

    thanks again
