i currently have an artist working on line drawings for the hollywood sign and a joshua tree. i have a clipart of SFO bridge...like the route 1 idea perhaps better that route 66....perhaps Route 395

Perhaps you pushed the apprentice too fast....
first learn how to use the stapler
then learn how to use the ladder
then combine both of them (stapler empty)
when more comfortable...add the staples!

nice workand great concepts!!!

Many thanks to Rocket Man, Trailgators, Devhead, and SD Rowdies for wiring the Riley School Auditorium/Cafeteria/Teacher Lounge for ethernet. Our teachers and students will benefit greatly from this project.
Just a few notes and comments on the event:
Devhead-Stapler's Apprentice Award for stapling a hole in the wire
Harmon working hard directing the installation
RocketMan and Trailgators the stapling duo.
Looking forward to the Paperless Caching Event. Stop on by

I hit the Wizard's Chess series after work yesterday & met up with SamIAmInCa. The three of us were able to complete the series except for the final. They had done a few before we met up so I finished those way late. I think I got all of the TB's logged into the caches right. If not, it just adds a bit of mystery.
pack a picnic lunch....it may take a while to find the final. it took us about 30-50 minutes to find.

I am a big HP fan (the company has done unbelievable things for me in the past)
Does anyone know anything about the iPAQ's?
i use a IPAQ 1945 (or something close to that) it has a color screen and loves to work with GSAK. have had no problems with cache pages. i usually have about 1500 stored in it, but i can expand it up to 1gig with an sd card. most likely could upload most of california into it without any problem.....
stop by the paperless caching event and check it out.

I want my beads!!!!
Didn't I warn you?
Is that FA-TT-BOY?
So that's where Fattboy has been. Running around in a TT costume. Will the real TT please stand up?
-
dropped 3x YMS #9 (FATTBOY) cards.
Fattboy?!? You sure he's still around?

I'd like to leave mi casa by 5:30a; we'll see. Have to head back by noon.
On the way back, I'd like to head down via Thin Valley Rd to Kitchen Creek Rd to I8. Anyone know if this is possible? I have 2X WD mini truck.
so what is the eta at the sunrise highway?....just blew back in from florida and need to scratch the catch itch and would love to hit the sunrise highway....i'll be driving the 4x4.

Thanks a bunch Parsa and Trailgators for the links. They will be helpful. The date for the paperless caching info event has not been picked yet because I have to wait to find out meeting room availability from The Dillon Gang. It will most likely be on one of the Thursday evenings in April.
The event page will be posted as soon as I have the date.

Where's it going to be?
Parsa
still working with RocketMan on firming the details. April looks to be the month for it.

Pocket Queries, Paperless Caching and Other Useful Things
What I am thinking of is to have it at a place where we can have a live presentation with a computer and a video projector. After the presentation, the folks that are already into paperless caching, can walk around and answer questions. If they could bring their laptops, that would be event better. I would be happy to coordinate the event and the presentation. I will need some help getting a meeting location and the projection equipment. I may be able to get a projector, but I don’t have a meeting room in mind.
Depending on when you held it, i could definitely bring a projector, possibly 3 laptops....however, i don't have wireless connection for them.
i would be willing to help out with any assistance you might need. paperless caching/powerpoint presentations.

When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

Yuck, the Muck!!! Say hi to the Bat for me

I've asked a few graphics design fellows I know to take a stab at a design too.
Great! Look forward to some new design talent. dividing time between work family and geocaching.....geocaching seems to be at the bottom at the moment. However, spring break is coming soon!!!!!
As for the above image:
i was attempting to represent southern ca with
San Bernadino Mountains, Route 66, Joshua Tree, LA/San Diego City, and some water
For Northern ca i was thinking
Half Dome, San Francisco bridge, some coastline from no cal (monterey or Carmel) and perhaps a Giant Sequoia Tree.
-
had my heart set on going but ended up leading a ymca adventure guide hike at MTRP...Stared longingly at Fortuna and Quay Peak. Congrats on the awards.

TucsonThompsen and his nephew (my son) crashed out completely. Sunday morning before the Yuma Arizona Event Cache.
It is true then....he's not a machine!!!.....or is he faking it
-
gettting a little more motivated to get the new one on the road....here's an idea i've been working on for so cal.

I'm pretty sure that I could do it all with Adobe Photoshop Elements, but I am having lots of trouble figuring out how to use it. I thought maybe someone out there who knows what they're doing could work with me on designing the next card in the series, and then I would be better equipped to carry on.
Any takers?
drop me a line...if i can't get you going...my neighbor (tutor in photoshop) can surely help.

rain, rain, go away....gotta finish my fence and then go geocaching!!!!

NICE Nurse Dave! Love the "Catching in the Sun" phrase.

So are you going to change the name to a Jeep/Land Cruiser/Xterra run or should it be called the vehicles that can go off-road run to be PC.
that might not fit the event either...depends on where it heads....my truck don't fit through jeep squeeze!
-
You'll of course have to spend a bit more money initially (CacheMate and GSAK licenses, and a PDA) but I think you can fit all that in a student budget. Keep in mind that even an old Palm III with 2 MB of RAM can handle about 400 waypoints.
registering GSAK for $20 was perhaps one of my best purchases for geocaching. the guy who created it said you can put it on as many machines as you want and provides updates free to registered users before updating the website. I love this program. i use a HP Ipaq for caching and carry around with me about 1000 caches in it.

It isn't about the benifits. Websites like this one are like TV shows on PBS. If you like the show you contribute during a fund drive. If you don't contribute you risk the chance the show won't return for another run. Geocaching.com isn't going to go broke if you don't buy a membership, but if you want to ensure the site stays around then I'd suggest becomming a member.
DITTO!

The Crown Jewels is the memorial cache for the summer 2004 geocaching picnic.......
Hey, if you hold it for just a leeeeetle bit longer, you can use it for the 2005 summer picnic as well!
that doesn't sound like a bad idea....that would give me time to get to 1000 caches by clearing out the 500 or so in MTRP!

Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must
cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... with... a herring!
