Wow! Just had the opportunity to listen to the tunes. (My employer has Websense on the computers at work; no fun stuff...) You guys sound great! If you do use your "CD-as-a-travelbug" idea, make sure you have one make it's way down to Terre Haute, Indiana. My wife and I would like to hear all of it! Best wishes!

I can't think of any reason that a CD wouldn't be a welcome trade item in a cache. Personally, I'd love to hear your tunes! The wife and I blues fans. Of course, you'd have to be kind of selective about your choice of containers. (i.e. would it fit?) Ammo boxes and large tupper-type containers would be your best bet. Welcome to the addiction!

Testing out the sig.

Thanks for the input, folks. Strangely, due to some very un-January like weather (~60 degrees), I'm going to try to get out this afternoon and visit a couple of caches I've had my eye on. Dave of Team Flashncache

Fairly new to the game, and I've got a couple of questions: Locationless Caches - Most descriptions ask that the Cacher log the cache with a photo of the "find" and the Cacher's hand holding the GPSr. Why the picture of the GPSr? It's not as though you had to use the unit to find the cache, in most cases you just walk/drive around until you find a match. I'm not wanting to start a controversy or make waves, I'm just wondering. Travelbugs/Geocoins - Let me start by saying that I know how they work! What I have is a question of "form", shall we say. I currently have a TB and a GC in my possesion, but with wintry weather coming on it's becoming more difficult to cache with my team. So, would it be considered bad "form" to re-visit a couple of caches very near my home to drop the bug and coin off and get them back in circulation, or should I strike off on new adventures just to save face (but possibly lose toes)? I ask mainly because I don't want to be considered a cad for sitting on them. Thanks much, (Please take it easy on the new guy... ) Dave of Team Flashncache

Avatar Test!!!

I think an off-road geocaching adventure would be way cool, but I'd probably never get the wife to go... (Not that that would be a bad thing.) The kid would probably go with me! I would be interested in finding out where some of these trail areas are, most of the ones around here (western Indiana); the (verbal) directions start out like this: "Go down yonder and turn left after you cross the bridge that used to be painted silver, then turn left again at Joe Whatshisname's place..." Not what I consider reliable directions. But with a 4X4 caching adventure, some helpful soul could just say, "Go to these coordinates" and find the off-road area that way! I like the idea!

Gesundheit! LOL Happy Holidays, Everyone! I hope Santa leaves everyone a NEW GPSr in their stocking this year! Take care, Dave of Team Flashncache

It would probably scare the heck out of the local wildlife, too! Dave of Team Flashncache

Good idea, Team GPSax! But remember Frank Zappa's advice: "Be careful where the huskies go..." You play the bari? Excellent! I played from 7th grade all the way through college. It's tough to get a music prof to agree to letting you make the bari your "principal" instrument, but well worth the fight. Maybe he resisted because the low register would rattle the windows in his office! (Gotta love that low "A") Dave of Team Flashncache

Thanks to all who replied! I just tried the link and this time it went through. Finally. Another resource at my disposal! Thanks again, Dave of Team Flashncache

Thanks, but I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago, when I did a similar search. Come back as a dead link, nothing to connect to. Thanks again, though. Dave

Hey, I was wondering... Are there are any established, or even "unofficial" geocaching groups in Indiana? I would be interested to know of any that are out there. I read about the periodic event caches going on, but if you miss those, it's hard to meet up with other 'cachers. Other than chancing to bump into them on the trail! Reply here or email me. Thanks! Dave@Team Flashncache

The family and I are fairly new to geocaching as well, so for what it's worth: Money was not really an issue, but we decided to go on the cheap side because we weren't sure whether we would like it or not. (Yeah, I know...) So my wife bought me a bright yellow Garmin Etrex last weekend. I have nothing but good things to say about it! Long battery life, good sized screen, one hand operation. We've already found three local caches, (one was a bear!) and we're planning on taking it to Kentucky with us over the Thanksgiving holiday to do some caching down there. From everything I've read, it's hard to go wrong no matter what you buy. But you will, of course, run into "Garminites" and "Maggies" everywhere you go, but truly: As long as its got 12-channel capability, you're not going to be disappointed! (Here's a free tip I learned the hard way. When you get out of your vehicle to go bushwacking, drop a waypoint WHERE YOU LEFT YOUR VEHICLE!!!) Good luck and happy hunting! Dave of Team Flashncache
