I feel for yah, I'm in the same boat. Only been on one cache hunt so far and failed miserably. I could tell you how, but don't want to give out bad advice My plan of action is to get a new GPS thats mine all mine. Get the Topo software. Already got a printer. Can't wait to play around with that and find one of those illusive caches! Keep trying thats all we can do! ~singing~Making a living the old hard way Taking and giving day by day Digging the snow and rain and the bright sunshine ---Caching the Line I feel fine I'm talking about peace of mind I'm gonna take my time Caching the Line La La La La La La La Caching the Line

How about stalking your own cache? Some geocachers found my cache, the first ones I might add. According to the log they on here, they left a GeoCache Playlist CD from the CD trading cache in Anchorage. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=bb49d7b2-8cb7-478d-a059-b11f6583fcf3 I'm very tempted to want to hear it. I won't keep it, I'd just like to borrow it for an hour or so. I havn't visited it yet to be too tempted. ~singing~Making a living the old hard way Taking and giving day by day Digging the snow and rain and the bright sunshine ---Caching the Line I feel fine I'm talking about peace of mind I'm gonna take my time Caching the Line La La La La La La La Caching the Line

The haul road is an awesome road. It was built before the pipeline to build the pipeline in 1975, from PB to Valdez. A few years back, the State of Alaska bought the road and now maintain it. Its open to the public in the summertime. An 18-wheeler is the best way take the haul road. The truckers have names for parts of the ride like Beaver Slide and other metaphors. After leaving Fox north the next stop is the Yukon River. After that its Coldfoot. With a turn-off to a old mining town called Wiseman. Just tossing you a few crumbles on your quest. Thanks for the heads up on a cool cache!

In the northern night sky I've seen moving bright stars that were not supposed to be there.

Thats great, Bilder. Its the Feds we have to worry about. Most of the land in Alaska is BLM controlled. Luckily, theres a lot of land to go around. Good job! Oh, yeah! I love Alaska, too

Renegade Knight <VWhen I lived in Alaska you could have up to 1oz of weed for personal use. You could not buy the stuff. You could not sell the stuff. You could not grow it, or transport it. Thus while you could own it there was no legal means for you to have acquired it for your use.> You could grow the weed, legally, in the privacy of your own home. 4 oz / 4 budding plants per adult per household. It was illegal to transport, sell or buy it. Back to geocaching

Thats great Bilder. "Its a fun thing to do!" Lucky you have so many caches over there! Can't wait to find one. I've hidden two with two on the burner. I'll look at Anchorage with a whole different prospective now.

Good question. I was wondering that myself, and now I got another cool cache to watch, along with the how to get the src code. Great cache! Do you have to be brave to enter the cave cos of snakes?

You mean Buxleys? http://www.brillig.com/geocaching/united_states.shtml

Lets see.

Thanks!

Geocaching is a stepping stone into the future. In a 50 years geocaching will be like 45's then. A hundred years like ? If we are still alive, we'd be space geocachers, cloned. Fun to spectulate.

The guy was muttering "Not another geocacher" To himself thinking "I hope these peeps arn't staying long".

You think you have troubles, I'm having a heck of a time. Didn't help that I never found 25-30 caches and learned to use a GPS before I hid a cache. I was so hooked when I heard and read about geocaching that I jumped the gun. The cache I hid is in a real cool spot and I took great care and love placing this cache. My first one, before I ever found one, because somebody had to do it. I got blisters on my feet and a smile on my face. Learning a step at a time for the sake of my heart. Go geocachers!

a machete. Got one with a sheath holder that fastens to my belt loop. Nice and handy for slicing down devils club, large and abundant in my neck of the woods. Glad I had today!

Good one, Bilder! I'll be up in the fall and will look for it!

I'm using my SO's old Garmin 11. He used it when he was a commercial gillnetter. He also uses it for hunting. I use it solely for geocaching. Will upgrade as soon as I can and give him his Garmin 2 back

I hope placing a cache before finding one isn't bad juju, cos I hid one before any finds. My reasoning was the closest cache to me by road is 110 miles, over a mountain pass, away. And I want to get other people in my area into geocaching so I can find theirs. I think I did pretty good hiding my first cache (Bear Bread Stump) after I got the waypoints coverted right. Then I went searching for the one (Tazlina View)up the road and couldn't find it on our first try. I hope I won't be just a hider, I want to be a finder, too! Have fun and good luck!

That is humorous. Tho it does take some cash to go caching. Glad you have her on your team. I'm looking for sponsors myself. Took a little side trip up the road caching for the first time Saturday. No, we didn't find the cache but hauled out a big bag of trash. Stuff that would bio-degrade we left behind. One of the kids never did get what the heck we were looking for. When we were all spread out looking she would yell "I found it!" After about the tenth time and much trash later, we policed the area in question very well.

I did it with the help of the Georgia Satellites http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?id=77039 Thanks!

Thank-you Olar, Web-ling and all. I have my new cache entered, just waiting to be approved! (fingers crossed) Your right Olar, We have a long way to go to find a cache, BUT, we are on our way to Tazlina View. 110 miles up the road over Thompson Pass into Moose Hunting territory and brown bears. We are making a day out of it, picnic and geocaching! We are borrowing some kids to help in the search. This old GPS won't let me punch in the co-ords, so I'm taking the Alaska Topo map and have a pretty good idea where its hidden. I'm so excited about hunting for my first cache! (I'm getting everybody else excited, too) Maybe when I get back I'll have some good news about Bear Bread Stump. Thanks again everyone for your help. A new GPS is in order!

you'll have what we used to call "having too much fun" now we call it geocaching!

I got the answer to this query at http://sploogen.ionichost.com/about_geo.php Since this is an ancient garmin, the boys there just punched them numbers in on the new-fandangled GPSs and I got my first hidden cache skymarked. Whew Best class I ever had! Thanks!

Update... I checked the local mariners soundings in fathoms chart and those co-ords put the cache dead in the water. I'll take another reading and do an extra credit report.
