This is the first time that I ever heard of Bushnell making a GPSr. Contact Garmin, Magellan, etc. and see if they would work with you on obtaining some GPSr's for educational purpose's.

OK, StarBrand, what is your secret for walking right up to the Cache location?

After being sure you are downloading the coords in the proper format, go to YouTube and do a search under Geocaching. The ones by HeadHardHat are very helpful. Also research the many types of Cache containers there are. Some are down right evil.

At the risk of being called an a**####, the fact that you had to ask the question you did indicates that you are not ready to hide your first Cache. There is so much info on Groundspeak and via Google that you should research, before your first Cache, if you don't want it referred to as a Lame cache. Appreciate your excitement, but some times slower is better. Jim

Thanks for the heads up.

It that your coin? I think it's pretty cool. Just saw one of these on Ebay.

I am not sure how but there is a way to download caches by route. You may have to be a Premium Member ($30 a year) to access this feature using Pocket Query. Have fun, and Be Very Careful Around Muggles.

Now this thread is very interesting! Were does "Reverse Spoilers" enter into the equation?

This issue has several post on the Forums. I had the same problem and when I looked closely at the box it told me to click and reset my account with Garmin. Other people have downloaded IE 7/8 and it cured the problem. Good luck

You are no longer looking over your shoulder to see if anyone is watching you do the "DBD".

Cute Avatar, does the Garmin 60CSx have the WASS/EGNOS feature? There documentation is a little lite on info>

Go to YouTube and search for Geocaching, I would recommend the GeoSnippets by Head Hard Hat.

Read guidelines on Groundspeak and it should answer most of the questions you have. Also read as much on this Forum as you have time to. Good Luck!

I'm not sure but I believe you could run a Pocket Query and use that as a filter item. Might be worth a try.

Here it is

There was a Thread were people showed what and how they carried there Geo Stuff. Shouldn't be too hard to find. There have been post to it in the last couple of weeks. Have fun! I just posted to it so its close to the top. Title "My Geocaching Bag, A picture and a list".

A NOOB pontificates!

Check HeadHardHat's YouTube snippets. Mightbe of some help.

Hey, I have a couple of pairs of them! I never thought of them as a tick trap though. They love deer and pretty much stay on the lower 3 feet of leafy bushes and plants to latch on to passing deer. One more suggestion is to let someone else in your group lead the way through these brushy areas. The lead person almost always gets the most ticks on them. That reminds me something I've read on multiple websites. You must have direct contact with them in the lower 3 feet of said leafy bushes and plants. They absolutely do not "jump". You and me are some serious fashion trendsetters with those zip off shorts, eh? They may not jump but they will fall out of trees if you stand under one and they sense the heat. First hand experiance working in Virgina, they were cedar trees.

With my Garmin60CSx the distance shown, to caches, and also on Groundspeak is "as the crow flies". There is one Cache near me that shows as being 1.8 miles, close huh, Wrong its on the other side of the lake and takes almost 45 minutes to get to it.

I found a Blue Marble one on the shoreline of a Lake here in Mid-Missouri. In the process of trying to get info on it Iwas told that there should be a metal tag in the ashes that can be used to track it. Will be taking the one I found to a local Funeral home today.

Aha - so your reviewer essentially granted you six exceptions to the guidelines. My guess is they had second thoughts about extending this to other cachers. The old slippery slope of precedent - "he got an exception, why can't I?" It's hard to enforce the guidelines fairly when you start making exceptions here and there. And there are tons of people with denied caches who feel that, while perhaps their cache didn't "conform with the written guidelines, it does conform with the spirit or intent of the guidelines." Sounds like you caught a break for a while, but when you tried to extend this to other cachers, the reviewers decided it was time to enforce the guidelines as written. The series was set up at the start with the intent of others adding to the series. That is why I worked carefully with the reviewer to be sure it was set up properly. There was no point in approving the first cache in the series if subsequent caches created in the same manner would not be allowed. It was not a case of making an exception several times and then deciding not to do so later on. Perhaps you could argue an exception was made to allow the series to start but I would argue a careful reading of the guideline suggests that no exception was ever needed. Here is the relevant text: 1A - When you report a cache on the Geocaching.com web site, geocachers should (and will) expect the cache to be there for a realistic and extended period of time. 1B - Therefore, caches that have the goal to move ("traveling caches") ... most likely will not be published. The guideline is 1A, essentially stating that caches need to be permanent. The 1B wording merely attempts to illustrate types of things that would violate 1A. Consequently, the series was intentionally set up to be sure that it did not violate 1A. Each cache published in the series was permanent. There was, and still is, a container and log book at each site. Therefore the series is in full conformance with the purpose of this guideline. However, the original container used for the first cache was moved to be used as the container for the second cache. When the third cache was set up, the original container moved again and so on. Each time the original was moved, a new container was left behind in its place. Therefore, while it was true that a container and its contents was moving, each cache was permanent because when the original container was moved it was replaced by a new container that is there to this day, unless the cache owner has since decided to swap it. If someone wants to argue that this series of caches was in violation of the guidelines, then every other cache owner who has exchanged a container at a cache site is also in violation. As it is not at all uncommon for people to swap containers for any number of reasons, are we to ask the reviewer for permission to use the removed container later on? At any rate, the fact remains that the series was approved and each new cache approved again and again and again. When someone from on high decided to shut it down, he did not even offer the courtesy of an explanation after all the work we did to build the series. Set up carefully at the start, no complaints, no problems, no maintenance issues as it grew, then the sudden and unexpected axe. There have been lots of people commenting, many saying I am not telling the truth, others insulting me for telling the story, some not even reading carefully what was written, a very interesting experience for sure. Not sure why I felt the need to vent it all out. Maybe I should get back on my meds. . emmett; At the risk of being banned forever all I can say is OMyGoD is Pres now. What do you expect?

Check out setting up a Pocket Query. You can tailor it to almost any thing you want to list, size of cache, terrain,etc., etc.

It is mUggle not MOOggle. Thats the way my daughter described it to me.

I can see it.
