Congrats on 1200 posts on this thread (plus one)!

Woo Hoo! Get the bush ready!!! 16..... This has got to be some kind of record for a regional forum (maybe for any non-off-topic forum)..

17 posts until the big 10k..

Wish I could make it - but we're in the middle of moving. However, that is right in our neck of the woods, so to speak... hmm! Where are you headed after the initial Carlsbad multi?

Talk about pressure! I gotta get busy! D! I'm keeping an eye on you! And Splashman too! Those are very impressive milestones you are approaching . Congrats to all of you 1000+ers - maybe someday when I'm retired and my kids are in college and, uh, gas is free, I can aspire to reach those milestones!

It looks like Duncan! is getting close to a very big milestone! As far as I can tell, that will leave the 3000's without any San Diego cachers (but not for long)!

At least your surgeon can score a find (hopefully!!).

Oh, well...At least I have coords for another cache in PV.... The trick to these is to ignore the image and stare into the distance behind it. Pretend you are looking out a window. You need to relax your eyes and the image should pop in after about 10 seconds or so. I am pretty good at it cause I've done it so many times. There are actually quite a few of these around now. But feel free to make more of these because they are fun! Well sure, and it works exactly the same for the $kimmer stereogram above. For some reason, I can't keep my eyes relaxed with that one. I keep accidentally focusing back on the side images. But I did finally see it for a split second but then it went away. Maybe if $kimmer was wearing shades it would help..... The only suggestion I can make is to slowly tilt your head side to side to make sure the two $kimmers are vertically aligned into the 3D $kimmer in the center. You can also try a couple of ancient 3D chants while you are at it.

I have no problem with the name change...but I think it would be polite/cool to use the correct date and delete the old log. But in looking at QuicklyQuigKing's logs I notice they are logging there own caches and they said they signed the log in a virtual cache...makes me wonder if they really did the virtual...however comma...I resigned my job as the chief of the Geo-cache Police. So have a nice day and happy caching! Not only that, they logged 4 fairly difficult virtuals in 3 states in one day! Not too shab! But I ain't no geo-cop either! But Trailgators does require a photo for San Jacinto Peak so he's got da badge!

Didn't we want something more like this?: The Forbidden Forest - 6 Fear Factor: Up the Rat Hole - 5 Local Treasure - 5 Snakes and Ladders - 5 Zis Is KAOS, Ve Don't Bush-vaak Here! - 5 CHUD - 4 Mad Eye Moody - 4 The Mountain Of Moonlit Rocks - 4 Triwizard Tournament - The Goblet of Fire - 4 Back in December twelve of us had created Favorites lists and I think QDMan took all our lists and came up with our mutually agreed on Favorite cache list! You can get the same effect with Miragee's bookmark list - just stick the "ranking" in front of the cachename, like: 001. The Forbidden Forest (6) 002. Fear Factor: Up the Rat Hole (6) etc. Of course, it would be high maintenance if the rankings were to change frequently but maybe it's a good start. Certainly a great effort on Miragee's part to at least have something to start with! Thanks, Miragee!! Yes thanks Miragee! TFTC, I like your naming idea but wouldn't we have to look them up again to get a tally for each cache to do that? Maybe we could download all of the favorites lists into GSAK. But will GSAK give you the option to keep duplicates? I'd love to see the highest rated caches that I haven't done yet! Well, I wonder if there's any way for me to create a bookmark list from Miragee's? What I would do (if I had 3 hours to spare), is: * click on each cache in the bookmark list * see how many bookmark lists there are for the cache (clicking the "more..." link) * click the back arrow to get back to the bookmark list * edit the bookmark and put a number in front of the cache name, like 100 - # of bookmarks (hopefully none have 100+ bookmarks). Forbidden Forest has 13 now, for example, so I'd name it's bookmark "87. The Forbidden Forest (13)". Fear Factor has 8, so I'd name it "92. Fear Factor: Up the Rat Hole (8)". Then when the bookmark list is complete, it'll be sorted by the most bookmarks. It would require a bit of maintenance if you notice the number of bookmarks have changed for a cache, or if you want to add new caches, but otherwise, it might do the trick nicely without too much effort after all the work Miragee has already done.

Hey! c'mon, it's a stereogram for cryin' out loud. I can't do it....How far away do you have to be to get it to work? Try this - if you can do that, then you should be able to do any of these. I can do those no problem, but I still can't get the one with the two images. It must require a different type of focus. I am really good at the other ones too. I keep seeing three $kimmers.... It was be the same thing Vulture sees after too much Canadian Club! You should see three - if you pay attention to the middle one, she should be in 3D.

Hey! c'mon, it's a stereogram for cryin' out loud. WOW, that's very cool - I can see her in 3D just by crossing my eyes! Did you use a special camera?

Congrats to Tinfoil-Hat Head & Wall-Eyed Nutbag for 2 !!!Hey Fisnjack told us that he found his 1500th on Saturday! Ok, he gets full credit for the fishnjack scoring method! Or he's a record-breaking log lagger!

Congrats to Tinfoil-Hat Head & Wall-Eyed Nutbag for breaking 2000! Or maybe 2200 if we are using the fishnjack scoring method Hehe, someone here needs to figure out that he writes the TIME of his find in his log, not the count! P. S. Congrats on 1400 to fishnjack!

Which forecast are we supposed to go by? Weather.com now says 81 tomorrow! Here's Mt. Laguna from the NWS site - says 93 (and I'm assuming since it says "Mount Laguna" it means at high altitude). The NWS was wrong and weather.com was right. It was in the low 80s pretty much all day in the Lagunas today! We'll have to keep an eye on those rascals and see if this is a trend!

Hey, let us know how that new caching-along-a-route feature works! Sounds like they got it together just in time for you! Do you have a link? Here's how you access the feature. There's a whole thread on it in the forums too.

Amazing how two sites can be so different! Anyhow, we will be in an air-conditioned vehicle going for fairly easy walks to find the caches we need in that area. But I guess we better do any longer walks first thing in the morning! At least it isn't Palm Springs!

I'm leaving for LA now but some parking coords would be a good idea! could always just use the cache in the parking lot. After The View (GCNW0N) Thanks! See you guys down there at 8:30! Have fun! Looks like it might get hot in the afternoon!

Hey, we ran into Team Fatman while driving around Encinitas today! Nice to "meet" you (well, until all those people in a hurry started to honk at us!) and nice to see those plates finally getting some "recognition!" We'll probably run into you more often as we are thinking of moving out there!

Another way, which I haven't tried myself, is to load the Google Earth Geocaching Browser and just "fly" along your route adding caches you want to a bookmark list, then get your gpx file from that. I'm sure the actual steps involved are described somewhere in the forums.

Maybe you'll get lucky and the gc.com route gizmo will be released before you need it!
