is there ANY evidence at all that god was involved in either situation? what makes you think god taught you anything rather than just figuring it out for yourself? my picture galleries

not to hijack this thread and turn it into a religion debate or anything, but i have to ask.. why is it because of god that she was found, but not because of god that she went missing in the first place? or are you just going to tell me i'm in no place to question "His plan"? my picture galleries

where was she found? my picture galleries

edit: i'm wrong yet again... and for me caches i have found don't even show the already found icon :x edit again: oh, i guess i need to be a premium member..

i also have a coolpix 3100 and took all these pictures with it. i like it, but i wish it had manual control over exposure and shutter speed, and photos in low-light are pretty grainy (thoguh i think that's an inherent problem in digitals) my picture galleries

i hope you're right, i hadn't seen the post on the 24th my picture galleries

umm.. he said "We'll have a beta by this Friday." betas are usually for internal testing, not for release to us commonfolk yet.. my picture galleries

that sounds like an okay idea, but someone around here did something much more elaborate... he set up four caches, each of which would have been awesome caches alone, and placed in each a clue. combining these four clues leads to the location at which the coordinates for the final fifth cache were posted my picture galleries

thanks my picture galleries

it's been awhile D: my picture galleries

a log i posted today "i don't know why, but i seem to have problems with many of greenback's caches.. this one was a total disaster. i walked over to this cache after finding Fore, also by greenback. my gpsr was telling me i was on the right side of the river, but i thought maybe i could get a better view of the cache if i crossed over to the other side. there was a dam at the cache, but it didn't look particularly sturdy, so i walked south to the road that crosses the river with a bridge. unfortunately, it didn't seem possible to cross the river without first crossing the road, which was full of traffic, unless i wanted to walk in the couple feet of shoulder space next to the traffic. i decided against this and walked back to the dam to try my luck there. i was getting across the dam just fine, but, as i was nearing the other side, i took a wrong step into something that looked solid but wasn't. my left leg took a knee-deep plunge into the river, soaking my pant leg, shoe, and sock. i pulled myself back up, but made another mistake and the leg went back in the water. i finally just went back to the side of the river where i started, and took off my shoe and sock to dump out the water. after this, i just looked on that side of the river, climbing down to the edge to get a closer look at any location that seemed a possibility. my gpsr was getting a fairly poor reading, so i faced the river and held it out in front of me with two hands, close to my body so it wouldn't fall in too deep water if i dropped it. it was about at waist level, and close to my body. as i stood there at the edge of the river, i heard footsteps behind and above me. i looked back to see a woman pass by with her dog. the woman looked at me and said "sorry!" but i didn't know why at first. she then looked down at my left pant leg and made a look of disgust and continued walking. wondering what the face was for, i looked down at myself. there i was, standing at the edge, facing the river, with both my hands at my waist and my left pant leg soaked. and i never even found the cache." alaska floatplane pictures [This message was edited by wilywampa on August 07, 2003 at 01:10 PM.]

it's just to get a thread back to the top of the list if someone feels it's important and no one has posted in it for a while.. like when i said it in the "ETA on mapping feature" because Jeremy said 7-10 days 11 days ago

bump #2

i use an eTrex Legend too.. the mapping is great, it has WAAS (though that isn't as useful as i had hoped), and i got a very good deal on it at $150 off of ebay

bump :

quote:Originally posted by Dave_W6DPS:The satellites have been on, and working fine for a while. WAAS has been working here on the West coast for months. well, i thought maybe they put up some new WAAS satellites or something... i've only ever had WAAS work on my etrex legend once, and it was next to a road, not in a forest.. oh well

i saw that too.. does it mean more satellites were activated or just that it's now legal to use WAAS for IFR navigation?

nevermind i read the post wrong.. can't you get gps coords from a map of where you're going and use those?

the user manual for the etrex legend says that WAAS satellites are numbered 33 and above (page 5) edit: but apparently there are only two sats with numbers above 33 [This message was edited by bunnyfufu on June 23, 2003 at 08:01 PM.]

ummm.. because paintball fields usually don't allow airsoft?

oh ok.. i just wanted randmcnally added to that list of a few links under "For online maps..." anyway

marky: that's what i tried before and it didn't work, but with your revised version it works.. thanks
