I love night time caching as my job sometimes keeps me from daylight. Although the last night time cache I got a little spooked... No problems getting and finding the cache but after hiking 2 miles through difficult terrain and worried about my headlamp dying I turned it off. The moonlight was bright and I treaded down the trail; luckily my ears were good and I heard the rattler right away. Flipped my lights on and that snake was curled up right in front of me.... wheh close call. So picking up the speed a little bit and realizing hey this isn't such a good idea it's 1am in the morning and I'm out in the middle of the boondocks by mself (a slender built woman). Was just about to the bottom of the trail when I heard a lot of rustling in the bushes. First it was behind me then it was in front of me then to the side; now I'm scared thinking someone is stalking me and is about to jump me. So I started to back up against the tree and held onto my walking stick ready......HERE IT COMES....It's a deer Now I did learn from my lesson....I never go at night alone anymore. Pretty funny.

I'm wondering if baking soda would do the trick on the smell? Hey Jonnie Stalkers, I just picked up my copy of Wolves of the Calla...did you get yours yet. Long awaited!!! Naneki

Isn't it great when you do a search and find EXACTLY what you're looking for. I too was trying to find an accurate digital pedometer only to find out I already have one in the Sport Trac unit I have. Thank you all; I wish I had thought of that earlier

I figured there had to be a little more to it but hey this is still easy. As long as I'm careful with the +(-). Thanks so much for your help. I think I just got a little scared because of the word MATH.

wow, I was right. Thanks so much tozainamboku! PS, I've read other helpful topics from you that have helped me learn. Yep, I'm looking at doing the Spanish Treasure but this one was also for the Liquorice Macaroni Cache. My husband and I are really enjoying this sport. I'm so glad I ran across a link to this site, we've got 16 finds now.

I'm sorry I reversed the math. I meant N34 08.431 + .171 = N34 08.602 AND w118 42.619 + .255 = 118. 42.874

I need help adding minutes onto a waypoint. I've been searching the forums but the only topic I can find relates to the calculations to change the format. I'm giving a waypoint and then told to go .255 minutes east and then go .l71 minutes north. Does that mean: N34 08.431 + .255 N34 08.786 as your answer? AND W118 42.619 + .171 w118 42.790? Could it really be this easy? I DOUBT IT, since I am horrible in math. Thanks in advance for anybody that would be willing to point me in the right direction. I'm not looking for an answer I just am looking to learn how. MAHALOS! Naneki
