Two roads in life diverged, One wide and worn, One thin & over grown I chose to take the psycho path.

Wow, and I thought the APE caches were big!

I'll have to keep and eye out then becuase that's one I'd be interested in.

Nope, National forests are administered by the USDA Forest Service. National Parks are administered by the US Department of the Interior National Park Service.

I guess we've been lucky, our Geowoodstock III coin has been moving nicely since we released it in Maine this summer. It has traveled 4K+ miles and is currrently wintering in Arizona

I think you're kewl Anybody who would travel 1500 miles with that viscious hound of hell Cujo, just so they could follow me and a bunch of other dorks (with enough electronics to make NASA jealous) into the north Florida swamps (to drive places no sane person would) is cool no matter what

If any progress has been made on being able to upload arc filters as a search criteria (as was mentioned early in this thread) I will soon have a pretty complete set of arc filters for all US Interstate routes on my soon to be completed "Clan Barron's GPSBabel ARC filters for the United States Interstate Highway System" page. If not, maybe somebody who is too command line phobic to use wget, GPSBabel & GoogleMaps (as per Alan Curry's excellent tutorial) will find them useful in GSAK. I am currently planning a trip from Florida to Chicago to visit family for Christmas. I have generated an arc file of my route to use to filter caches. It would sure be nice to upload that filter here and have my PQ only return the 187 caches that are within .5 miles of my route (after filtering in GSAK). I know that running the filter would be CPU intensive for the PQ server but would it be any more so than the 12 PQs (6,000 caches) that I had run to make sure that I got all the caches on the route so that the filtering could be done on my end?

Palm IIIxe. Cheap, easy to use and fits in the pocket of my BDUs when I'm roaming around in the woods.

Interesting program fizzymagic. To paraphrase what someone said in another thread there are a large amount of geeks in geocaching and geeks love statistics. I plead guilty as charged 1281 caches found. Avg. Difficulty = 1.68 Avg. Terrain = 1.50 Avg. Challenge = 1.80 144 hard caches found (11%) I know that there will we those who will decry this program as evil but I for one love it and look at it as "I gotta get my hard caches % up" Time to lay off the urban micros and hit a few more of the 13 mile hike 5 stage multis like the one we did 2 weeks ago.

I was able to snag a cache in Germany while there on a 3 day business trip. Stuttgart is a beautiful area and I'd love to go back and find some more.

Ok, this may seem like a dumb question to some, but what the heck is lexan? Where do you get it? I really like the way your coin looks and would like to try that with mine. Thanks. LEXAN resin is a brand name of polycarbonate resin thermoplastic made by GE Plastics. It is similar in appearance to polymethyl methacrylate (Plexiglas/Lucite/Perspex more commonly called as Acrylic) but is far more durable. Lexan is typically used in the aerospace industry for aircraft canopies, windscreens and other windows. It's most recognizable use in a consumer product is probably the Nalgene 1-liter wide-mouthed water bottle.

Downloaded the 6.5 beta build 49 (and love all the changes as always) but I have a question about find counts. After loading the pocket query with all of my finds my find count in GSAK was off by +2. I went to Tools->Options->Display and turned on the find count column and ordered by fcount. It showed I had 2 caches that I had 2 finds on. How do I go in and removed the duplicate find. All I could figure out how to do was just mark the cache as not found totally.

I'm guessing by the "Bowtie" hiding behind the winch and bumper, that you have a V-8 under the hood? My daily driver and cachemobile

Yeah, why???? I don't see the need. One of my favorite caches was one that had been around for a while. Signing the logbook and seeing entries from 3+ years ago was very cool.

It's not using GSAK, but you can use your cachemate PDB file at this site to quickly log your finds

Basically? Either is one person or is not one person. Not sure how someone can can be "basically one person". Would love to hear that definition. "Basically one person" meaning that she is one person but does cache with other people (children, friends, etc....) so not all of the caches she's found have been with just "one set of eyes" as alluded to in an earlier post. As others who have also cached with her have noted, she hustles so much that I think we slowed her down rather than provided any help

Sweet ride! Man that sure looks a lot more fun than the flat ground we got here in Florida! The best we can do is sand, mud and water (my wife took the pictures of Snoogans that you see above, when he was out in the woods with us). The rocks look much more challanging. Two roads diverged - I took the one less traveled - because I have a Jeep and a GPS ! /l ,[____], l---L--lllllll- ()_) ()_)----)_)

Actually I do have a laptop with wifi and maping software that I carry along sometimes but I gotta say that I've not found too many (make that ANY) wifi hotspots out in the woods

There's no need for me to guess, I already own the 4x4 cache vehicle of my dreams Frankenstein, my '89 Jeep Wrangler. Featuring a Tuned Port Injection Chevy 305cid (5.0L) V8, 700R4 tranny (with shift kit) and transfer case out of a Chevy K5 Blazer, Ford 8.8" rear end with trac-lock, 4:10 gears front and rear, 7" lift with 35x12.5" tires, windshield mounted off road lights, 9000lb winch. The interior has no carpet and "Rhino lined" (like a pickup bed) so I can easily hose mud and dirt out. I also have windshield mounts for my GPS and PDA. If you fold down the top you couldn't ask for better GPS reception This is one of the few times it's not been covered in mud (and before I added the lights and winch)

Because I've actually met and cached with the man, the myth, the legend that is Snoogans, yeah, I'd be interested

Thanks for the compliment Snoogans. We were glad to have you there. We'd be happy for you to include some of our northeast Florida caches in your documentary. Two roads diverged - I took the one less traveled - because I have a Jeep and a GPS ! /l ,[____], l---L--lllllll- ()_) ()_)----)_)

We would be proud to own 1 (or maybe two)

This cache would be the easternmost cache. It is not far from the mounument for the easternmost point of land in the US. Cool, that means that we have found the Southernmost and Easternmost caches in the US! Now on to the Northern and Western

I agree, the conversation as been mostly civil and informative. I think Hank has done a good job of presenting the "Where's George" point of view and I appreciate his taking the time to create an account and join this thread. I've logged a few WG bills myself (mostly from my wallet but a few from caches) but overall I'm just too lazy to do it on a regular basis. I can appreciate that some people agree and some disagree with the WG position on "natural circulation" and geocaching but I think that it comes down to respecting the WG position whether you agree or not. As cachers we have to respect land owners if they request a cache not be placed on their property. It's the same with WG, if they request that bills not be logged in and out of caches per their rules, then we should repect that decision.
