I've decided I'm going to place the cache. I know the general area I just have to find just the right spot for it. I guess I'm doing some scouting tommorrow.
-
I guess I'm just thinking about getting a new cacher discouraged by not finding this. I know about the ratings and listing the caches. I just don't want to have someone give up on caching because they can't find this one. Like I said this one will be evil. Very hard to find the cache.
-
I guess I should say our cahers have a pretty good hider here locally but this might compete with his hides.This one will really be an evil hide. I will e-mail details to someone who is not local.
-
I won't give too many deatails here because we have alot of local cachers but I have an idea that should stump just about anyone looking for it. The only problem I have is I don't want to scare off new cachers that might want the challenge. Any ideas?

Ditto on Garmin Customer Service. They are great. I've had to send 2 back after the warranties were up and both were sent back like new at no charge.

i started geocaching yesterday after a few friends showed me the webpage a long time ago. i love the whole idea, and especially like the whole coins/tb aspect and watching them float around the world via the logs.
between yesterday and today i have looked at about 20 sites in my area. i only found one. :/ I even went back to previously visited sites after re-reading the clues an posts on the site.
why do I always end up around a city power/water type thing?
why can i never find anything?
do i just suck at this or might there be this many caches lost?
any advice? the one i found was quite exciting, especially since it was at the end of a long day of finding the sites of many caches, but not the caches themselves.

Try and look for the easiest ones first. Difficulty 1 terrain 1. Also as stated in some other replies try to steer clear of the micros until you have found a few. Once you find some in your area you'll kind of learn how the cachers in your area like to hide them. After you find some you'll start to get a sense of where would I hide it. Good luck and let us know how you're making out.

I believe her phone must have been turned off or she had the best cell phone battery I ever heard of to last at least 10 days.
My phone easily goes two weeks if I'm not using it.
Obviously not a Motorola Razr. Those pieces of poopie barely last a day even if you don't use it.
Now that's weird I use my Razr and let it go for 3-4 days without charging and no problems. Maybe a bad battery? My sister just took her Motorola phone back after sending it back 3 times and they told her it was a dead cell in the battery. It's worked great since they put a new battery in it.

I have a question along this topic. I went to use my 60cs today for the first time in a couple of months. Now it was cloudy here today but the screen went to acquiring sattelites and found 3 of them but after sitting for 15 minutes it hadn't done anything. I figured it has to get the akmanac data but I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen.

Thanks that's the link I was looking for.

Hi,
A while ago there was a discussion about removing the rubber band around a Garmin E-trex to open it up and check the connector inside. I've lost the link I had that told how to do this. I'm hoping someone on the forumns remembers this. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Hi,
A while back someone posted a link on removing the rubber band from around an E-Trex gps to clean the contacts. I've lost the link and was hoping someone remembers this. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

ok i stilldon't get it. can you e-mail me. like i said i don't want to ruin this one it just isn't clicking. i'm probably making it harder than it is.
-
Can anyone help me with this? I'm just trying to figure out how to decode this.
-
Your budget is a big factor. There are alot of good handhelds available at all different price ranges.
-
Ok it doesn't have any digits for the UPC code just letters you substiture for the coordinates. I honestly have no idea how to figure this out.
-
Without giving toomuch away can someone reccomend how to decode a upc puzzle cache?
-
Cool site. I wonder what the prices are like.
-
Can anyone help me with this. I think this might be a good 5 rating but noone has done one like it here so I'm not sure.
-
Surprisingly they have a few available here. I think I'll go get a couple backups tommorrow. Thanks for the info.
-
I'm going to be hiding a new cache and without going into too much detail I'm wondering what I should set the difficulty at. I don't want to say too much here but if you contact me I will let any non local cacher know my idea and you can let me know what you think. Thanks for any help with this.
-
we've been having a rash of that here. I've had 2 of mine go missing. and a few other cachers have some unavailable.
-
my problem would be that they say not use rechargeables. i wouldn't want any part of it if i couldn'y use rechargeables. just my opinion but i'd rather payabout $15 for some batteries i can recharge as opposed to even at dollar store prices $1.00 just about anytime i want to go caching.
-
i would e-mail again. i've had nothing but good luck with their tech support.
-
we received 21 here in NW Pa. I managed to get one just putting a cache together to launch it.

Well I guess I would be on the low side. I've been caching for 5 years, it really seems like much less time than that, but I've found 248 caches. I go in spurts, I find a bunch of caches the lose interest for a while. I guess I'm lucky we have alot of caches within 100 miles of home.
