  1. As far as what you could do.. Nothing you could do. As far as calling a bum a bum. what the hell else would you call him. Is bum not a word anymore?? The cachers that were trying to make you feel bad need to take a good look at what there saying and realize its ludacris.. :ph34r: ..Sounds like its a Liberal problem they chould take to San Fransisco. :surprise:

  2. I just started and one of the first things I learned is "keep looking". I dont have the most patients, but caching is actually helping me with that. Just when you think you cant look anymore keep on going.. just like a fight or somthing. It definately is 9 times out of 10 the better choice and I cant wipe the smile off my face when Im leaving..

  3. lol, the only time I have been approached was when I was with my grandma, mom, and seven year old daughter. It was at a park and the cache was hidden inside of a fence that went around some parking lot and the security gaurd from the parking lot came over to us and started asking us a bunch of questions and we had to tell him what we are up to but he did not seem all that bright and looking for "hidden treasures all over the city that no one else knows about with satellite coordinants" apparently didnt sound convincing to him so we just took off.... I mean come on, four generations of woman in a park looks THAT suspicious???

     

    I think that is the funniest thing ever!

  4. Ok,

     

    Now that I have done a few caches, Im begginning to see how addictive... how does everyone feel about caching in public, by peoples houses, or thr road. Very fun and inncoent game but I feel so suspect when people see me off trails wondering in circles...lol has anyone every been approached or had any confrentations with this?

    let me know furglasses :D

  5. well the truth is it would be nice to have just in case their was ever a terrorist attack or any reason that I would need to navigate my way through the country without any other means kinda suck carrying an atlas around plus it lacks the features.

    paranoid geo cacher

  6. I figured it out. I RE-downloaded topo 2008 and it worked...but then I couldnt get the whole u.s on the gps because I only have a 1 gig. memory card.. So I wonder were I can get a like 4 or 5 gig.

  7. well I plan on geocaching at least once with it. My geography teacher introduced it to the class and said if we went on one geocach we would get extra credit... If I like it Ill keep doing it..

     

    Also me and a buddy are going back country camping for the first time on Mt.Eagle in TN. I thought it would be nice to have if we are going to start doing that.

     

    And I went head first for all of it' features when I was reading about GPS'S.

  8. when you buy an alkaline battery pack for emergencies can you use energizers instead. Its just that in the discription on the product it say it holds 4 double A alkalines but I want to use energixer I have like 500 of them....

    ANY DIFFERENCE BEFORE I RUIN A 4 :) 00 DOLLAR GARMIN 530HCX

  9. I have an older set of the Rinos and am quite disapointed by them. Just about .3 miles away from the Jeep in medium tree cover was enough to kill the signal back to my wife. Get just a few rodcks or a small hill and you will not communicate at all even over a short distance. I even was up a large hill one time with my wife .28 away and just 2 stands of trees and she heard nothing.

     

    The stated range only works on a clear sunny day with zero obstacles in between the units. Not parctical in the hilly areas that I cache in.

     

    Oh man thats terribe, what model? because Ive been hearing some cool stuff about the 530hcx.. not only that you can track eachothers position..
