  1. You are akways very quick to fire off a reply to someone else who posts... just wanted to let ya know that the APPLE store says that unlocked iphones can "brick" up and are not useable at that point... hope you advised your buyer.
  2. Sorry, I didn't read down far enough!
  3. I am interested... how can I contact you for pricing information?
  4. Yes, her computer has a serial cable. Thanks! for replying.
  5. I am looking to buy a cable for my daughter's etrex h....
  6. Is this still available? How much are you asking? Thank you
  7. I'm just curious: Why do you participate in this hobby? Because it is fun... and I was JUST asking a simple question... was really just curious because I am new to this and wondering why people place caches where they do... answer your question? People hide and/or seek geocaches for many reasons. If a cache you found was placed by its hider a bit farther from parking or a greater distance down the trail than you would have hidden it yourself, that only indicates a difference in personal preference between you and the cache owner. I hope your question has already been answered to your satisfaction. Some of my favorite answers so far: The fact that these types of answers were not already self-evident to you – the fact that you felt the need to ask – led me to wonder whether maybe your reason for participating has more to do with racking up your find score than enjoying the hunt for each individual cache. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a numbers hound or having a preference for easy hides. The good news is that there is a wide variety of fun to be found in this hobby. Once you acquire a little familiarity with the game and with the functions of the website you should be able to easily narrow down your target list and, if you like, only go after the types of hides you are more likely to enjoy while avoiding the types you’d rather ignore. Does that help? By the way, I notice that although you have been registered as a cacher for four months you have no cache finds logged under your account. Have you attempted to find any yet? Your answer does not deserve a reply from me... it was just a question that you got off your high horse to answer... get back on.
  8. Chapel Hill has lots of P&Gs if you'd prefer those. I take it you didn't find the cache after the walk. No, actually I didn't and wow! it was JUST a simple question, since I'm new and curious why people place them where they do.

  10. If you actually took what I said as serious, I apologize. I's just being a smartass. No offense was intended, and I didn't think you were really complaining. As for the age comment, I'm actually in the younger bracket on here. No problem... I was really just curious since I'm very new to geocachin'!
  11. Why, when I was your age. If I wanted to find me a geocache, I had to walk 20 miles. In the snow. Up hill, BOTH WAYS! then I didn't have me none of them newfangled Jee Pee Ess thingies. I had to navigate by the starts. And it was cloudy! And when I finally found my way to Ground Zero, I hate to fight a pack of Velociraptors just to be able to sign the log. And I had to sign it in my own blood, because we didn't have ink pens yet. And by god. I was happy! .. Young punks complaining about a mile.. ... Sorry, had to be said. I personally like hikes. Though for me I prefer a fairly short hike that requires me to climb over boulders and such. But, if you're not fond of longer hikes. look at the google map. You'll get a good idea of how far the cache is from the trailhead that way. Actually... NOT young and certainly not PUNK complaining... just curious
  12. I'm just curious WHY people hide caches a long distance from the starting point when you pass many good sopts on the way? I started a cache last week that was almost one mile down a trail, and I passed MANY good places along the way! Just curious....
  13. I have a tungsten e... trying to go paperless and have been unable to get anything to "load" keep hearing about cachemate but can't figure out where to get it? Is there a cost? Obviously I'm a newbie! Thanks for any info.
