    How do I change the cache type

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    I want to change the puzzle cache symbol at the top of the cache page to a regular cache type symbol. I am doing away with the chirp requirement for two caches but the edit cache page won't let me change the type. All other changes on that page worked.

    Myself and MOST of the friends I've geocached with renew their permits every year, as I enjoy having legal access to SLT lands whether it is for GCing, riding ATV's Jeeping, or just plain hiking. But I do know for a fact that quite a few other cachers don't spend the $15 for a permit and basically are trespassing on SLT land per their guidelines. But these same people won't hesitate to stop at McDonalds and spend $15-20 on lunch. I wasn't too happy to pay the permit fee a few years ago when they raised it ridiculously and apparently quite a few other folks weren't too happy about it either, as they reduced the fee back to it's original price. As far as cachers being good stewards of the land and hauling out trash, I'm not so sure of that, as I've picked up trash right next to caches that has obviously been there for quite some time (such as faded out pop and beer cans, etc. Most times when I look at the logsheet, there will be 20 or more logs on it, yet nobody made an effort to pack out the trash that I just picked up. I think we're fooling ourselves if we think geocachers are this group of folks who are dedicated to Pack it in/Pack it out theory. Evidence of this is the number of CITO events you see nowadays. Years ago when the number of cachers was just a fraction of what it is now, it seemed like there was quite a few CITO events going on. I don't think that's the case today. As far as damage to our desert environment is concerned, my own belief is that with the approval of power trails or series caches years ago, the amount of "new" trails has increased considerably. One in particular I can think of is/was on SLT land south of Florence, Az. We got finds on these caches not too long after they were published and were mostly containers just thrown into a greasewood (creosote) bush well off of the established trails. Since then I went back there while riding one day, and there is an obvious trail around the whole course. It's great to get folks out into our beautiful desert to see some of it's scenery, but I'm not sure building a power trail is the way to go. Anyway, I'm going to abide by SLT rules and will still be out there enjoying the desert, whether there's a cache there or not...........

    New account attempt. Say email aleady being used.

    When trying to help a friend start an account and filling in the information form, after clicking the submit button, a message appears and states that the friends email address is already being used.

     

    This is our friend's personal email address and no others use it. It prompts us to use an alternate email address. She has no other email address.

     

    How can we get her email address associated with a new account address. All the other boxes were filled in correctly. Name, address, geocaching name request etc.

    I'll be placing an order for the PN-40 as soon as the "send to GPS plug-in" from the Geocaching.com site becomes availablel. I use that for cache entry on my 60CSx more than any other method. Hope I don't have to wait too long. Sounds like an awesome unit.

    I've been getting the same error message and am unable to upload images. I've uploaded many .jpg's in the past. I wonder if AOL or explorer is changing the file name somehow during upload???
