The GPX thingy works perfectly! Still working with PQ. Thanks a bunch!

I have already searched the forum....... Trying to get the Garmin Plugin it says it is no longer supported and sends me to Geocache.com, which just says to get the plugin form garmin. I am able to do it on my pc at work since it is Windows 7, but I won't have this pc forever so I need to be able to download caches from my home pc. Does anyone have a work around?

Can't remember what cache log it was I read recently, but the person made two logs: First log: "Didn't find it" Second Log: "Needs maintenance" How would they know that?????

I found a cache full of trackables that had gone missing a few years ago. Whoever took the whole cache brought the whole thing back, trackables and all. Signed the log book 'I'M BACK". I also found two tags without the attachments that went missing in a different state. I did my best to put a similar objects on them and sent them back out in the world only to have someone retrieve them immediately and hold on to them for two months now.

I get irked when cachers take all the swag and leave caches completely empty. Granted I usually don't want anything, but I still like to rummage through it

That's the thing: what's the difference? How do you know where it's intended to be? For all you know, the cache is supposed to be at the base of the tree. Unless there's something pretty explicit in the cache listing, you can't know where the cache is intended to be. Only the owner knows that. In the absence of any indication in the cache listing that something is obviously wrong (e.g. physical hide completely contradicts the D/T rating, attributes, description, hint, title, etc.), the container should be put back where you found it with a reasonable* level of concealment from muggles. *Note that "reasonable" doesn't mean a giant mound of material; it means just enough concealment to hide it from muggles, but not so much that it stands out as a beacon to them. I had to archive a cache because people insisted on repeatedly stacking massive chunks of bark on it and muggles couldn't help but be drawn to it. agreed and well stated.

People shouldn't move other co's caches, unless of course it fell out of the tree or some such thing. I could see putting it back where it was intended to be, but not deciding where you think it should have been in the first place...

Sie haben das Garmin-Plugin herunterladen und geocache.com erkennt Ihr Gerät. Ich habe auch Etrex 10. Verzeihen Sie meine schlechte Übersetzung

to continue to point out my lack of technology sauvy: how do I rename it? Can't find it in my unit. on NW trails download it is just "10206001". Boy, Cliptwings, I wish you were in Seattle!

looked like it was downloading to my gps, but it didn't do anything....

I am currently trying to install just washington on my etrex 10 so I'll let you all know what happens....

you're all awesome. thanks!

I tried downloading to my etrex 10 and it didn't work. It may be operator error though. Or my computer operating system???

I want the northwest trails and currently have an etrex 10 with not enough memory apparently, so basically I want to know if a 20 or 30 can handle it. Also, I understand the NW Trials map is free.I have tried to read some topics, but some of the answers are miles long and I start to drone out. most of you seem more technically advanced than me:)

Is that what they're called? When I read that, I immediately thought of .

Funny stuff. I actually asked a couple where I was caching if they were geocachers and they were pokemon-goers! But I have to say, when I'm downtown caching, I don't like people watching me, so if they think I'm just another pokemon-goer they probably won't give me a second look:)

Maybe there was a post prior, but I haven't found one.

Yes, I see a lot of fairly empty caches. Maybe someone is taking 3 and leaving nothing, I don't know. But I put stuff in them anyway so the next cacher has something to at least look at and hopefully want. I definitely want to be a leaver of cool swag for kids and especially adults.

Some great ideas! I've been buying toys for the younger cachers like my nephew, dinosaurs and small stuffed animals. But I like the idea of useful stuff for adults as well.

I not only hunt garage sales specifically for stuff to put in caches, but I also started buying stuff on Ebay! I now have a grocery bag full of loot in my car and I'm still looking for more! I think my caching addiction has reached a new level.

[ Yes, hooked already, left an hour early for work this morning to find a few caches on my drive in. Ha! I leave early for work to cache too! Best time to get the caches along the roads and in town!

Bought a GPS unit so I can hike and find my way back, since finding hiking buddies is pretty tough. It had a geocache tile on it. I had heard of that before and it sounded fun. Within days I found my first cache and I was so excited to find that little rusty tin with mushy moldy stuff inside!!!! Now I'm hooked.

Thanks Jholly! Time to update to a grander unit

Does this work for Garmin Etrex 10? I haven't been able to download it correctly:(

Last week I went to drop off a TB at a bug drop and found a second container there with a bunch of them. I wish I had written all the numbers down so I could log I discovered them, but I didn't even think about it. I took one to move on and turns out it went missing a few years ago from that very spot. Apparently someone has a conscience. Yesterday I found two that didn't have the thing attached to the TB tag and they went missing in Iowa. I'm in Washington. Weird.
