  1. This death was a heart related issue, not a fall.
  2. I have cached with Alamogul. He signs the cache and while you are signing he is already heading back to the car or on to the next cache. His numbers are legit. It is really hard to keep up with him. We were ar a local event where everyone got the info to solve 35 puzzles at the same time. People started looking near where we all were solving. He suggested our group of 4 (all in the same car) start at the other side of town and work our way back. We found all 35 in about 4-5 hours and got the FTF on 25 of them.
  3. Sometimes life gets in the way of best intentions. I picked up anode TB in th beginning of November. With weather and family matters, I didn't find any caches until about Two weeks ago but forgot to take it with me. On that caching trip, I hurt my knee, then got the flu and and this week I am busy with my 92 year old mother in the hospital.
  4. Sunday was out at a local park caching.On the way to the cache there was a dusting of snow on the boardwalks in the park. One area looked just wet, but there was a microscopic layer of ice on it. I slipped and as I went down my knee bent at a strange angle and I injured my knee. Ended up getting two more caches after that.Really started hurting and I stayed home from work Monday and today. It was the ligament on the inside of my left knee. Worst was the time when I had a high ankle sprain while out caching. Had to hobble about ½ mile back to the car and found a cache along the way! Ankle was sore for a month.
  5. The cache you cited above, GC448A, is from 2002 and is probably before the current guidelines.
  6. Sonny and Sandy (Podcacher) already thought of this about 15 years ago.
  7. Save your solved puzzles in a list Then you can save them to your GPS from the list. Or if you use a phone to cache, the list will appear on the app and will be saved in the app.
  8. You have corrrected the coordinates for the cache.It will be on all Multis and Puzzle caches where you have entered corrected coordinates. There is a smiley on pages you have found.
  9. Any cache I realized was near a playground went on my "rainy day list" and I would only search for them on a rainy day when no one would be out.
  10. Back in about 2005 or so, someone hid a mystery and when someone solved the puzzle, he would add another puzzle (step), so that it could not be solved. The local cachers got mad and started placing caches to "battleship" the location of the hide, even giving them names such as B-5, etc. Eventually they narrowed down the location to the green of a local golf course, obviously a location the cache couldn't be, and the mystery was archived by the powers that be.
  11. Cache was at the end pf a dead end half mile long road. Searched with another cacher. We found 10 film cans attached to a guardrail with magnets. The other cacher started searching the film cans. I started checking other things. The cache was a fake bolt .
  12. Well. I can read the text better than I could before. I have the beginnings of cataracts and have problems with contrast. You'll want larger fonts and more contrast the older you get.
  13. The local talk is that he requested that his caches should be locked while he is suspended.Not going to get any info rom him or the Mods. Just don't look for them. Besides the weather has been dreadful since they were locked.
  14. There was a UK cacher that had similar videos a few years ago, but I heard he died in an auto accident.
  15. Yes, just sending the files to trash does not erase them from the drive. You have to empty the trash while the eTrex is mounted.
  16. From the scuttlebutt I heard today, he was suspended from the website, but he requested that his caches be locked while he is under suspension. From knowing the reviewers where I used to live, you have to do something pretty bad to be suspended.
  17. Went to a Georally with Alamogul that had 35 mysteries to solve in the area of the event. You had to get info at several areas in town and then take the info to solve the 35 mysteries over an era of about 4 x7 miles. Everyone was solving at the same time. I was in a group of four with him. He said everyone was going to start where we were, so he said lets start at the farthest location. We got 25 of the 35 FTFs.
  18. Use lists and the send to Garmin feature on that. Over time I have made lists for each of the towns near me. I update the lists and remove the found ones and the archived ones . To the right of each listing is a circle with three dots. Click this and four choices appear. The second is Send to Garmin. Pick this and follow the instructions.
  19. Most of those marsh areas in the SF Bay area are also approaches to the airports, so they are restricted there.
  20. This appears instead of the red text to tell you the cache is disabled or archived along with the log for the archival or disabling.
  21. Caches near playgrounds go on my rainy day list. Will only attempt them on rainy days or in the winter when there is no chance of ads being around.
  22. In Livermore, CA there is a virtual cache IN the fire station (World Record Light Bulb-GC6B3A). It is a list bulb that has been burning since 1901. There is a webcam for it and they welcome visitors whenever the station is open.
  23. There is a mystery cache that requires you to tour the graves of 25 famous people (for the area) in Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, NY to get the info for the final (located in the park next to and outside of the cemetery). You must visit the graves of President Millard Fillmore, Rick James, and Shirley Chisholm among others. The cemetery today published an app that lets you take a self-guided tour of many of these graves and others.
