I was going to say the same: 4gm = 4ml = almost a teaspoon. If the container was poured out (obviously), then shook out (if applicable), then maybe even wiped out (if possible), then by all rational thought, the dessicant should handle the job. Even if opened regularly in dry (not raining) but humid weather...then it MIGHT just work. How about an experiment with the same tupperware, paper, 2tbs water...but after dried out with the kitty litter (2-3 days), then try putting it in the sun for a day or two and report back to us.

I have the same problem in south Texas. I am using a peanut butter jar but just the humidity, then heating in the sun, then condensation at night, and the logbook acts as a dessicant and sucks in all the moisture. I am piloting rice to see the effect. I'll let you know. dbonnell1972, San Marcos, Texas

Photo-Caching (it may have a "real" name but that's what I call it] is where you could divide the boys into teams, and with either GPS coord's or a scavenger-hunt-like description, they have to bring back photos of the "finds". You can use simple things like "green car" and they would have to have a pic of one, some, or all of them with a green car. You could have coords pointing to a certain area landmark- say a statue in a neighbors yard (with permission) or a nearby bridge or stream- and a pic with the boys interacting somehow with the "cache site". I was working at Wal-Mart a couple years ago and I was in the lobby taking my break and a group of girl scouts came in on a photo scavenger hunt. They had to have a photo of them playing leapfrog with a Wal-Mart employee. They asked, I consented, and they got the point. So then back at the party, while the kids have cake and ice-cream, someone quickly downloads the photos, shuffles 'em (so that team one isn't all at the beginning and team 2 at the end), and runs a simple slideshow for all the kids to see. Photos could even be sent with the kids (or a photo-share site for the kids or parents to download) so that 20, 30, 40 years down the road the memories won't be forgotten.

Hey. It looks like good weather this coming week. Anyone for going out together to get a few. I am out of work right now and have a little time on my hands. The wife isn't into it and the daughters have school. I'm in San Marcos. KW: braunfels kyle buda wimberly lockhart

How many kids (boys) are you planning to invite, and do you have additional GPSr's (or can youi borrow or rent add'l units)? Do you possibly have private land available (a friend with a ranch, maybe?) Can you come up with digital camera for team photo-cahing? I went to a birthday party in the 4th grade (I'm now 37) and remember a scavenger hunt that was a blast. Even if you can't swing the Geocaching side, a scavenger hunt will be a definite hit!

I used Google Earth for many things, including Geocaching. Maybe I am one of the few. I do think that the "200 users" may refer to "an average of 200 users logged in at any one given moment". I feel that if it's too much strain on the server then allow someone to setup a mirror and use that for the KML server. First- I can't believe that KML takes up all that much bandwidth, and second, servers are cheap nowdays.
