  1. To see what others have said on a specific cache, you have the log on that page and can see all logs by selecting that at the bottom of a page. To see what a specific cacher has logged, you can click on their name and it will take you to their profile page. Select the "geocaches" tab. Click on (all geocaches). That will bring up a list of their activity and you can click on one and read the logs. Try clicking my name and following it.

     

    I think you can search for a cacher from your account page. Click on your own name at the top of the window to search.

  2. Well for me skydiving was and still is an expensive to get into and still do

    Initial training: about 1200 bucks (to get to self supervision)

    gear:(about 2500-3000)

    jumps: are range from 10-24 CAN dollars

    after 200+ jumps it starts to add up :)

     

    The main thing for geocaching for me is gas. I live in a rural area so find caches nearby is hard to come by 60 within 50 miles. So now I have to drive upwards 100 miles to go caching. :anibad:

     

    I cant believe I had to read so far to get to another skydiver! You know, one of the funny things though is at the drop zone when someone talks about how expensive it's getting because of the cost of feul going up, we remind eachother that it is still cheaper than golf...

     

    Don't hate me...when I used to skydive, it was $10 a pop to get a ride up to altitude...

     

    'course that was a college team and the pilot pretty much donated his time. Didn't own my own chute, and I don't remember how much the fees were, but they were pretty cheap. Still more than geocaching. Heck, I've spent WAY more in scrapbooking supplies than on geocaching supplies.

  3. i started from my car to the cache. and of course i posted parking coords to where to park.

     

    Will your car always be there? :anibad:

     

    Seriously, what if someone else is parked there? Could the starting coordinates be somewhere else besides a parking space?

     

    My GPSr isn't always that accurate. I could be starting 20 feet away from the correct spot. Will the steps be in actual footage, or average "steps"? I'm only 5 feet tall, could make a big difference. Just a few things to think about...

  4. eeek! I'm still a brand new, wet behind the ears cacher, and I logged my first cache as found because we found stage one and two of a four part cache. I didn't know any better, I promise! We never could find 3rd stage, and were planning to go back for 3 & 4 another day. Before we could get back, it was disabled. Turns out stage three needed to be reset. How do I change my smiley since I didn't find it?

  5. I was searching for a thread on this very topic. When I try to use the Google map, it looks fine until I touch it to move it. Then I get an error message and a "parsing geocaches" message that never stops twirling. And it never brings up any caches. I wondered if it was my computer. Any help would be most appreciated.
