I destroyed a brand new cache today
Mr. Fantastic replied to sTeamTraen's topic in General geocaching topics
Out caching with Spyderuser in freezing temperatures around Thanksgiving 2004, we managed to accidentally destroy a cache. I very nearly could not hold the camera still enough to capture images of him trying to replace the cache hiding mechanism. The Log -
Trouble with usb drivers on Garmin 60c
Mr. Fantastic replied to Techcaching's topic in GPS technology and devices
I found that I had a similar problem using the USB connection with my 60CS. I think it was Garmin who suggested using the 4 pin connector for the GPSr and then adding a USB to Serial converter. That has solved my problems and I can upload anything I've needed. -
Inventory Time> What GPS Units Do You Own ?
Mr. Fantastic replied to GOT GPS?'s topic in GPS technology and devices
I have a Garmin GPSMap 60CS that I love. I upgraded a year ago from a Garmin Geko 2.0, so this has been an incredible jump up. -
I just sent my order for 4 coins. Thanks.

My coins reached Illinois yesterday. They are fantastic!

My two coins from Ohio came today. They look great. Thanks.

Hey! There's A Virus In My Pq!
Mr. Fantastic replied to Silny Jako Bek's topic in General geocaching topics
I too wonder about this strange reference to viruses. My mom got pneumonia, but my Mac has never seen any trouble. -
They should be there Monday or Tuesday latest. I got them out late Friday, and the Postage Machine estimated two to three days. I hope they come tomorrow. It's Wednesday and still no sign of the coins. Darn Postal Service. I am now a week after the mailing date and still no coins. I am very much afraid that they have disappeared. OK, so what do I do now? I still have no coins and I was really looking forward to receiving them. Do I still hold out hope that they will come in the mail or do I allow my creeping doubt to win?

What Is A Good Pda To Use With Apple Computers?
Mr. Fantastic replied to TeamGeoduck's topic in General geocaching topics
I have a Palm Tungsten E and I use mobipocket to read my pocket query information. This works great in conjunction with my iMac. -

Apple Computer + Gpsr = Sore Thumb!
Mr. Fantastic replied to TeamGeoduck's topic in General geocaching topics
I don't have a serial plug on either of my Macs. That is where the Keystone serial to USB converter becomes the solution. Happy caching. -
My two coming to Illinois are still out there. I hope they arrive soon.

I sent an email asking to increase my order from three to four. I hope I made it under the wire.

Discuss The Design Of The 2005 Washington Geocoin
Mr. Fantastic replied to Moun10Bike's topic in Northwest
I sent Paypal payment for four coins on 8/19. They look great and I can hardly wait to receive mine. -
I'd like to acquire four coins when the time comes. Please let me know when that happens.

I have had great success using Keyspan's serial to USB converter in conjunction with Garmin's PC/power adapter. The Garmin part turns the four pin connector into a serial connector. I then use Keyspan's converter to change the serial to USB. I have never had any trouble connecting that way. I then manage waypoints with MacGPS Pro. My only complaint has been that Garmin does not make maps that can be used on Macs. I envy the maps available for City Select.

Apple Computer + Gpsr = Sore Thumb!
Mr. Fantastic replied to TeamGeoduck's topic in General geocaching topics
I have had no problem using the Keyspan serial-to-USB converter with my iMac and iBook. I have to admit that I envy GSAK, but using MacGPS Pro to manage waypoints and Mobipocket to load data into my Palm. All I lacked was the ability to load maps, as far as I could tell. That was a small price to pay to use a better machine. -

Although I live well south of Lake Bluff, I believe it is a very nice area. Lake County has a large number of parks, so there should be lots of caches to choose from. GCE6BD- INCIDENT AT ROUNDOUT is west of Lake Bluff itself but could be a good starting point. By the way, the zip code for Lake Bluff is 60044.

My three coins came today. They are fantastic and Sissy did an exceptional job with packaging. Thank you so much.

Discuss The Design Of The 2005 Washington Geocoin
Mr. Fantastic replied to Moun10Bike's topic in Northwest
I'd like to acquire a couple of coins, but the link I followed does not connect. Did I miss out already or is there just a technological glitch? Thanks. -
I just want to confirm my earlier post. At that time I said probably two, but now it is definitely three. Thanks.

I sent my email and paid through Paypal. I hope that I have done everything correctly. Thanks.
