No need to respond... Um Duh... Looks like I just found it. Nevermind! Top of the screen GPS > Send Waypoints > (highlight desired GPS Symbol) > Change and select.

How do I change waypoint icons so that they upload to the GPS unit as desired? "Markwell"? I tried some searches and came up zero. I did it once, to change the default GSAK "Aerial", to the "Small City" icon, to better pintpoint the loc. The small city icon ends up being hidden under the big arrow on close searches before I go to "the numbers". For most searches, I prefer the Meridian Crossed square, or whatever else, and wish to designate other types of icons as well, like Home, etc. I know, tell me to get a Garmin... I've looked it up in Help and get this , but can't find how to get there. I've only been enjoying this luxury of GSAK for a week or so, I'm sure even a newbie to GSAK could help guide me. Sorry 'bout the dumb question, but I'm sure to have more. Thanks - KF6JML

I heard about geocaching through another geeky hobby of mine... ham radio. I heard people talking about it on a local repeater, hence my FCC issued call-sign / geocaching name. Signed up here June 2003, and have been hooked since. Racked up 325 finds thus far. It's nice to be in a cache rich area - 1,110 within 20 miles as of this post! Bugs me that there are so many, so close. GF and I go geocaching almost every week-end. Glad she likes it too. Our week-ends seem incomplete unless we have gone on a hike-n-search out there. Brings us to great places!

The nearest 20 that I have not done yet are also very close. 1.4 to 5.5 miles away. 4 are puzzles, that I just don't feel like racking over. 4 are letterboxes... too much like puzzles. (See above.) 2 I don't feel like climbing there yet. 4 are on a single trail with good elevation gain and great views , waiting for cooler / clearer day for pics. I often like to go on hikes in new areas. So some are in places I've been a number of times, so I skip them. I'll get to them eventually The rest are fairly new... I'll get to them as well.

Here's one GCHGV6, that has an image of an object in the strereogram. Spell the object, then sustitute letters for number to get coords. Pretty cool!

Check out THIS recent thread. Awful! Fortunately, I haven't heard of it happening near me, just occasional missing ones that muggles probably stumbled accross.

Adding to the problem map on cache page thread... There's a cache listing in my area GCGG3B that doesn't have a map at all. There is just an area on the page where I suppose the map should be with a little red X. Like when an image has a bad link. Similar problem I guess.

I think you are looking for GCJ7VH The Bloated Festering Head of my First Victim.

I prefer my two section adjustable aluminum one. I like how it has a rubber cane-like foot for hard surfaces, and it can be unscrewed to utilize the spike end. Great range of adjustment size is convenient. I tried out a 3 section bungee connected collapsible one, but it seemed too flimsy and would fly apart when I was doing Samurai bushwhacking impressions- Heeyah! Returned it.

That is both funny AND unfortunate Phone Guy! Many images run through my mind after reading that. I'm sure it falls into the category of *You HAD to be there*, especially when you are out of your usual element or area. 1) Maybe he spotted you at the turnstiles, decked out in questionable tell-tale GeoGarbe and hunted you down. 2) Picturing being snuck-up upon by a tractor. Was he making crop circles, threatening abduction? 3) I would have not only taken the FTF patch, but WRASSLE him for the cache, call it MINE and make a 100 yard dash with the cache, hopefully outrunning the tractor piloted by a wild-eyed pistol-wavin local. YIKES!!! Huff-puff... OK It's yours! Just in jest!

I've been LTF on only two. I'm sure it wasn't me, as this one was destroyed by a fire weeks after I found it, and this one was in a bad spot where illicit activities were being frequented. No, it WASN'T me! There's a sense of relief when the next person finds the cache in good condition after I have been there.

Some Tilley hats are not too bad. Check here A bit pricey though! Edited link

Yeah yeah...show-off. Show-off? Just a lazy armchair convenient fact which required very little effort on my part utilizing the search button. Showing-off would be brandishing your stats which are 4X+ mine in the same time frame. THAT takes some doin'. Hats off to you! Your logs and posts are interesting. It's kind of true about the caches calling, isn't it?... Oh no, here they come again. Give me strength... looking up Cacheholics Anonymous... I thought 12 steps was a multi-cache! I'm doing good doctor, aren't I? ... My numbers where they should be, right?

Same here... I told the doctor that all those voices in my head were caches calling me. 5 miles - 82 10 miles - 371 20 miles - 909 <-- above this number half the search diameter is the Pacific Ocean! 50 miles - 1866 100 miles - 3335

Thanks for the better resolution. I DO NOT think I would have picked that up and taken it home. Eeeew! Not even with a double paper bag! With just a little Photoshop touchups, a la - Hand on Chin Revival, all will be well!

For Team Encore, maybe this is the one... Jail House Cache (AKA Butcher Hill Cache) by Vacman. Very funny! Classic! In the thread: Compose the World's Worst - Possible logbook entry 11 posts down from the beginning. Thanks Vacman!

Another foot bummer - Morton's Neuroma - Google it.

1) Ancient oriental custom say... I knew I would 'lose face'when I traded down! 2) Maybe you can use a close-up of that spiked mug for your new avatar? 3) Body piercing gone BAD! Is that a face or skull?... My bad, just kidding - nevermind.

Buff? ShyeeahRight! You can easily see all the caches he has visited by going to his Stats, but be warned, if you go to his gallery... you will be surely get BUMMED! Yikes! Oh my!

Rain Rite logs of grease pencil entries floating in a container of water-logged geo-soup... hmm. I've seen it! Perhaps small, thin sheets of scrap 303 stainless may survive as a log. Don't tell 'em to bring your own pencil or pen, just scratch in your entries with a nearby stone or sharp instrument. Better containers must prevail.

Ten bucks for a 24 hour pass to some ScienceNow site? I don't think so. I vote ScienceLater. Please cut and paste the article details so we don't have to $join$ to make informed comments or jokes. Might help to move this along. Although, maybe not? Is this about the tick's sex life or mine? I hate cold showers. Alt to the sig line... Nothing pains some people more than having to PAY to think about *what is this about anyway?*. NOT -Martin Luther King, Jr.

Always "answer the call of nature" AFTER finding the cache. We usually bring tissue and cleansing solution for first aid, after cache digging AND handshaking. Usually one of us is wearing some sort of Groundspeak-geo-logo type shirt or hat, so that fellow cachers can spot us. We've spotted others by their garb as well.
