  1. Continuing along the same line - how do you get an image to display on the cache listing? I can load the photo as a link on the page, but I was hoping to have it display on the cache listing?
  2. Our kids have handheld PSP and Nintendo DS - all the game shops seem to have screen protectors - I think they were 3 for $10. Also the camera shops sell them for digital camera displays and we use that on our new Magellan.
  3. We set up P.O.Box 1701eh in Mississauga, Ontario in April 2007. Just off the 401! GC128GW
  4. Thanks all - it will be cooler this visit so long pants and closed toes will be easier than on previous visits! All good advice. FYI - bundyrumandcoke reminded us of another thing we can hardly wait to get back to - there is NOTHING quite like pure Bundaberg!
  5. We are planning a trip to Oz in August - this will be our third visit, but first time caching. We cache with two lads and have learned to be cautious around North America of where to put our hands and when to watch our feet. Past trips to Australia have taught us that things grow bigger there and many small things can be quite dangerous. We will be travelling between Sydney, Dubbo and Brisbane. Any practical safety tips for plants and bugs and things to avoid?
  6. Congratulations Juicepig - we were a bit concerned about your caching style when we read you were looking for a cache container at Dino in Drum! It was fun following you around Alberta in July! Rideau Rangers
  7. These are some of the hardest words we have ever had to put together – we have known the Dawe family as neighbours and friends for the last 11 years. We only met Tony as 1701eh after we had been geocaching for about four months. We had heard that Tony was a geocacher from another neighbour and then put two and two together to know his caching name. One afternoon in March 2004 after a particularly cold and frustrating DNF at POTC Eldorado we arrived on Tony’s doorstep and all blew raspberries at him – when we explained why he had a great laugh and he has been pretty much laughing at our geocaching inadequacies ever since. One our kids’ favourite caches was the day Tony and Sue called us last December and suggested we all go and do Troglosheep together. That was the Scouter coming out in Tony – he didn’t trust a Beaver leader alone with climbing ropes! Tony absolutely loved a good puzzle cache and a good joke. On Saturday we had been caching with Sue and Tony in Woodstock and then split up to finish a series. Tony was a step ahead of us and had arranged with some muggles to give us trouble at one stage to slow us down. We arrived at supper to his usual laughter! We have spent the last two and a half years trying to catch up to Tony, but we never really wanted to. Earlier last week he had presented us with our 2000 Finds Geocoin engraved in recognition of our milestone. He was a very kind and thoughtful friend. We too have had him ask us to call when we arrived safely home from a cache he was concerned that we were doing with the kids. We have the utmost respect for Tony as a great husband and father who should not have been taken from Sue, Allan, and Becky so soon and as a hiker whose love of the trail benefited all of us in the geocaching community. We will miss him. Anne, Alex, Philip, and Matthew Rideau Rangers
