Oops... removed because I can't read.

Getting close to Arizona now.

I made the mistake of sneaking a brand new gameboy game into a cache... when the kids found it they were very excited. Then they played the gameboy and didn't cache the rest of the afternoon.

Even if you don't find someone before the event... a lot of folks form teams that morning. The organizers help with this as well.

The specific hotel is HERE, but you will want to schedule through Finding Fraggle Rock as Sherwood mentioned... much cheaper. How to see you there!

We are pretty stoked about the Alien Encounter event coming up in September!!! Who is going to make it? Last year the event put on by these folks was very, very cool. Well thought out and executed equally as well. Even though we live close, we may get a hotel room just to hang out with some of the out-of-towners.

My wife and I had a similar experience... ok, we wasn't stuck knee deep, but I do know what you mean by the panic setting in. Our incident

I've taken pride in putting out some creative logs from time to time. A few months back I tried to hit a zillion micro caches in a single day. Every since, I have actually felt pretty darned guilty for doing a cut and paste on all the log entries. I didn't give the folks who placed the caches their due diligence. I feel like I didn’t hold the door open for that elderly man or woman. To make it even worse… we tend to attach audio logs to most of our cache finds. These serve as my pad of paper. OK, that’s off my chest.

Congrats!!! I think this is awesome... I suppose I better get out there and subscribe.

OK, I think I have said something about this in the past... but I would love to put my thoughts in again. RSS could be used for so many aspects of this geocaching.com. To be honest, could very easily save on bandwidth if was used widely. RSS is just good old text without binaries. OK, some cool RSS features I would like to see. - New caches based on area code or state, like mentioned. - The obvious RSS of a cache and it's logs - A feed for TB logs - User activity. RSS a individuals logs. - RSS Members attending an event. If you can't tell... I really dig RSS

This one is on "the list" (perhaps next release ). Unfortunately at the moment the only way you can transfer filters from one computer to another is to do a backup and check the "setttings" box. However, the problem when you restore those settings on the destination computer is that is restores all your settings (filters, views, gps icons, sticky settings, etc). What we need on the restore is options to select (or not) these individual items. You haven't let me down yet. When this happens, I should be able create a zip file with everything someone would need to use one of my macros. Thanks.

Clyde, is there a way to export my filters? I have several filters that I would like to share with with others... actually, I want to share my macro but without the proper filters it will not work.

http://www.betanews.com/slideshow/MSN_Virtual_Earth/11 It looks like someone is going to be playing catch up with google maps. This will be interesting to watch. Don't you just love it when a market starts to get competitive?

Congrats Lynn... You rock! I'm kinda glad you broke the 10k ceiling... now I'm not as tempted to do it

Yet, this is your second post to the topic?

OK, so Democracy reigns supreme and I am crazy! So, since this group is so good to bounce ideas off of... what do you think about this approach. First of all, a discussion area would be a necessity. This is probably the most important aspect since it would allow everyone to bounce ideas off one another and possibly share resources. i.e. I could arrange the use of The Leprechauns lear jet to get that pesky 5/5 in Antarctica. Since The Leprechauns are experience in High Altitude caching, it is a good chance I will be safer going for it too. Anyone would qualify to be a recruit so they can participate in discussions and go for the gusto. As you get more finds, your rank would increase. Members of the EF can leave an EF geocoin at caches that qualify... but only at these caches. One side can say EF the other would have your rank or something. That way, only others that are willing to hit these caches can claim the geocoin. I have to agree, that the more I think about how subjective a 5/5 is... it may not be the best approach. I do not want this to be easy and ensure that the tougher caches qualify. Of course, this leads to someone or a group of folks determining this. How subjective would they be? We might be able to put some guidelines behind it... what do you think?

I'm afraid I will filibuster this vote.

We have Cormorant's Roost and will be going for Starve Island on the 12th of June. We are looking forward to the adventure. Not exculsionary, anyone is allowed to go for a 5/5. Who is stopping anyone? Are there really 5/5 caches out there? Yep, a bunch of them. Whether we agree with the cache hider or not is irrelevant and really a discussion for another thread. The point is that 5/5 caches are harder to find... some mentally, some physically and some simply in preperation. I would like to have a way to simply get those more adventurous cachers together to share ideas, adventures and fun.

I think everyone who becomes a member should get a large tattoo on their back. OK, maybe not... finding 5/5s is one thing... but I'm not stupid Maybe you get a special geocoin or something. Don't know. The fun is in the challenge though.

Well, that is one of the reasons I posted my idea. I know folks would put some holes in it. So, now I guess I would have to figure out a way to exclude you No, really... that is a good point. You aren't kidding, the closest I find to you is this one. Although it would make if very, very difficult for someone like your self to get 15 finds, I guess a flat number of 5/5 finds is the way to go. I'm not being mean to Canadians either... I kinda like you guys

I think tar and feathering anyone is a great idea... heck, it could be the first locationless 5/5 I agree, they are subjective. However, if someone scored 15 5/5 caches you have certainly decided to go after the tougher caches. That is the point. I don't think being a member of such a group says your flaunting anything. I could quickly say that with that logic why bother even logging your caches. Forgive me... I could see this degenerating into a why log, stats, etc, etc, etc type thread. Those have become a bore. Instead, I would rather find a way for others who are intrested in finding the 5/5 caches to get together. After all, I appreciate every find on any of my caches... so, you folks who have placed a 5/5 must really appreciate the extra effort folks put forth in finding yours.

Hmmmm... good point. I think 5/5 hiders should be able to obtain some kind of special rank for sure. How would you incorporate them?

5 1's is fun too, but certainly not as adventerous. I'm trying trying to think of the joke you would be talking about. I can only think of one my Dad used to say about two 20 year olds... but I'm sure it was different
