Now, doesn't that add a whole new dimension to body piercing. Who's going to be first? If it works as well as the Garmin Patch, you'll spend most of your time lost. "When you find it, its always in the last place you look."

The word is good for those who seek it. "When you find it, its always in the last place you look."

Hi, its been really hot and muggy here in the Northeast so far this Summer. Reports indicate that most of the U.S. is experiencing the same HOT and DRY weather conditions. Has the hot weather affected your ambition to do Geocaching? Has the hot weather slow you down or do you thrive in the heat? "When you find it, its always in the last place you look."

I don't do Geocache as much as I would like. Between managing a business, home maintenance and a passion for getting away on camping weekends, Geocaching doesn't always fit into the picture. (Sigh) sooo much to enjoy, so little time. "When you find it, its always in the last place you look."

"Ahh, where's the table with the free-stuff? What da ya want for that nice old friziget? Where's the log book so I can get credit fer finding ya? Yeah, lady, I found this place great sale with this little thingie. How did you find it? Well, nice to meet'cha guys! We'll have to git all these nice folks together and get rid of my stuff next week. Ya'll are invited. Free State Park maps and all the rebottled water you can drink." Sorry, I have too much time on my hands today. "When you find it, its always in the last place you look."

Many of the New York State Parks charge a day use fee for a vehicle to enter a state park. I first experienced this at Watkins Glen State Park on a cache hunt there. Inadvertantly, I dodged the unexpected fee by arriving at 6 am and leaving before 8 am. If your hiking in...no problemo!! "When you find it, its always in the last place you look."

RE: Geocaching in Pennsylvania State Forests Dear Forestry Administrative Officials, I recently had the pleasure of discovering the Fern Rock Nature Trail at the Wyoming State Forest in Sullivan County. This is one of the nicer forest hikes that I have experienced in Pennsylvania. An individual who recognized this area for its outstandingly beautiful and diversity recommended this hike. He advised picking up a trail guide before hand to learn about the forest ecology explained at the various stations. He obviously felt compelled to share his knowledge of this place with others. He did this by issuing an invitation to visit by placing a Geocache along a well-established trail within this area. Geocaching is a relatively new activity being done on public lands. It involves locating a 'cache' by using a GPS receiver and personal land navigation skills. Geocaching appeals widely to young and old alike and is rapidly becoming an educational family fun activity. It gives people a renewed purpose to enjoy the great outdoors as an added activity to a hike, picnic outing or a camping weekend. Through the Northeast forum at www.geocaching.com, I recently learned of your yet unpublished guidelines and permit request forms that are coming available for placing geocache in public forests. I'm sure you realize that Forestry is not the only public land management agency now concerned with developing guidelines and a permitting process to allow this growing activity. The Pennsylvania Geocaching community represented at this forum has conducted some very constructive and informative discussions to share with Pennsylvania State Park and other public land management agencies. I would invite you to visit this forum in hope that it will assist you in reaching a mutually tenable resolution for allowing this activity. If I can be of assistance, please call or write. I not a forest management or outdoor recreation professional. However, I'm willing to offer my opinion and personal experiences as a Geocacher to add some depth to your decision making process. Sincerely, Gary Hozempa xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Phone: xxxxxxxxxxxx Email: xxxxxxxxxxxx "When you find it, its always in the last place you look."

I am very shocked that this new forestry policy was ever adopted without due process of law...what about the "sunshine LAW"??? As you recall, we were at this point just a few short weeks ago with the State Park authorities. Geocaching is relative new to the regulators. And, as we have noted by past experience, they take a conservative and careful approach to the unknown. Although similar in nature, Forestry is a separate agency with their own unique mission. Let's work with them, keep them informed and give them a chance to evaluate and moderate their position. I'm sure they are every bit as reasonable as the the State Park people given the opportunity to move along the learning curve. Let's give them the opportunity to catch up with what is being established by the good people at the State Park Administration before we rant on them.

I bought my GPS prior to the days of Geocaching.com. I got a 'little Yellow' when they first came out to use for off-trail hiking. It was neat to create a route of waypoints then follow it back with the navigation screen. When I discovered geocaching.com through a search engine, it was a natural transition to hunting geocaches. I found my first cache while camping at a State Park. I brought along the printed cache page that weekend. I loaded the coordinates, jumped from the lawnchair and started off for the woods. About a half hour later, I was rooting through a plastic box full of stuff that I found hidden in an old rotted tree trunk. I came up with a nice little cookbook that I could use for menu planning for weekend camping trips. Shortly after, I hid my own cache for others to find. I always plan to find a cache when I travel. This has lead to some interesting experiences. "When you find it, its always in the last place you look."

The system does have Selective Deniability (as far as we now) but just how selective again that's an unknown but most likely not isolated to a single facility. There's nothing to suggest at all that the system is responsible for selective 2km errors even though there's that presumption that 2km was a possibility under the old selective availability. As for WAAS the "Military Emergency Mode" is part of the WAAS system which the US Air Force can provoke at their own pergotative. The worse scenario could be the whole civilian side of the system could possibily be shutdown (that would obviously be a time to hide, real good) Cheers, Kerry. I never get lost everybody keeps telling me where to go I was in Florida on Playalinda Beach in March 2000. I pulled out my GPS'r to mark the waypoint where I was. It was a clear, sunny day with visability from horizon to horizon. For the two hours I had the GPS'rit on, I couldn't get a satellite lock. Jamming, selective deniability, down for maintenance I guess I should mention that the location was not more than 3 miles from Launch Complex 39 at Kennedy Space Center.
