  1. Hmm, I like where you're going with this idea... but I don't think there are any letters on this key! TOMTEC Well, that leaves us with 2 choices....I'll chose 867-979-0000.
  2. If HELP=4357 and RCMP=7267 then XXXX=9999 So....867-979-9999
  3. 867-5309 is from an 80's song by Tommy Tutone.
  4. Hilton Falls Loop They Also Served (Port Dover) Gorrie Dam Cache GCMC - Glen Williams (Ontario)
  5. Looks like 9 TBs/coins have been placed into Woody's "The Travel Bug Party Shack". Hopefully, the other 7 still in his posession will be released soon. As CT and F&J suggest, perhaps if we ignore him, he'll just get bored of his activities.
  6. I was just following a cache log regarding a TB that was not in a cache and possibly taken without logging it out, when I happened across someone named TBpirate. Funny thing is, that all the TBs taken by the pirate were discovered by This Cacher. A coincidink...I don't think so. Seems like an odd move for someone so new to geocaching. Hopefully, he/she is collecting them for a meaningful realease soon.
  7. J.A.R.S., I'm glad that you chose to keep your cache going. I have always found your caches to be well maintained. Your cache in question is among the oldest that I have found, and I'm always thrilled to find an older cache! Especially one that's in good shape and where the owner is still active. Another aspect that hasn't been touched on: What if you gave up the spot and another cache was placed and not maintained and allowed to deteriorate? We've all seen our share of these. Knowing how you care for your caches and your attention to detail (especially some of the creative logbooks in your letterboxes) I'd say keep 'em going for as long as you feel like! Also remember, there are always new cachers coming up to find your caches - it's not as if everyone has found them already. A good cache is a good example for the newbies and will hopefully leave an impression when they start to place caches. Ted.
  8. 1st degree, 2nd degree and 3rd degree frostbite.
  9. Hmmm, that doesn't quite jive with the info on the Trans Canada Trail website. Maybe they've got old info.
  10. Ha - I love it! A feast of frogs. A feedbag of ferrets. A hearty ingestion of hummingbirds. A supper of squirrels. A banquet of bees.
  11. I just noticed that ferrets is in the list twice.
  12. Wow! If I ever swim in water that warm, it saps all my energy 'cause I overheat. A more reasonable definition of cold water (10° to 20°) can be found at Ice & Cold Water Module put out by the Canadian Red Cross this year.
  13. Twain. Juicepig told us so right after the question!
  14. While I never had the good fortune to cache with Tony, I bumped into him on the trail a few times as well as chatted with him at events. I remember his friendliness and willingness to help. After last seeing him at Harvestfest 2006, I was completely stunned to learn of his passing. It is a tragic loss of a great person, family man and cacher. I was always glad to see a new cache put out by Tony, as it was sure be a good one. His puzzles were especially interesting – unique and entertaining – and whenever a new one came out, I’d start trying to solve it right away. Tony will be sadly missed by the geocaching community. Laurie and I wish for a speedy recovery for Sue. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Sue and her family. Ted.
  15. I couldn't do this without any aids, but I have a conversion calculator on my PDA which actually includes measurements such as chains, rods, fathoms and survey feet. Ted.
  16. Iridium network. BINGO! A detailed description of Iridium Satellites and how the flare (glint) is created can be found Here. Heavens-Above has predictions for Iridium Flares as well as other satellites. Whenever we go camping, I bring along a printout for a weeks worth of flares. If the weather permits, we'll venture to an area with a clear view of the sky and watch them. The 'wow' factor has still not worn off for me. I've yet to see a daytime flare, but the bright ones at night are amazing! You're up GrosseFamille.
  17. I didn't really think it was my turn as I only answered 1/3 of the question, but here goes: A 5 part question - just kidding! (Personally, I think we should keep them to a single question to help move things along.) What is the name of the constellation of satellites who's predictable glints can sometimes be seen in broad daylight with a maximum magnitude of -8 (30 times brighter than Venus)?
