nevermind

Too bad that there are again two CITOs on the same day at the same time. I would have wanted to help at both but I already said I would help down near St Helens a month ago.

The HOTM is usually on Saturdays. The AHOTM is on Saturdays sometimes. It just depends on what weekend days are free. This time, there's a Pirate event on Saturday that some of us are attending. But hey, we could go Saturday, May 22 - who'd like to do that instead? B+L, LandRover, AndrewRJ - could you come then? (Those who've replied thus far.) Nope, heading to Oregon that day for a much needed week off

Currently going.

Not this time. Got a conflict on Sunday.

At the rate they are going you may need to have a bigger run

I would love to reserve one, somehow I think we can set up a time to pick it up.

I am saddened to hear of her passing.

This may have been covered but here is the problem. With downloading them from the website the website has to be up and running. The e-mail server is a separate entity and usually is working even when the site is down. A file I get e-mailed to me is there 3 days later when the site goes down and I can still upload it even when the main site isn't working, remember everyone who is upset when the site goes down on Friday when then need that PQ for the trip that weekend? Even if they were smart and got the data they needed a few days ago they may not have downloaded it out of their e-mail which they can still do, but couldn't if you had to download it from the website.

Yep exactly as I expected. I had to cut it down to 813 caches that with child waypoints would load 999 waypoints into my GPS. I would love to see the number of child waypoints displayed as well.

Well that was interesting. A new PQ around my house now goes from a radius of 13 miles to a radius of 16 miles. Not as impressive as I was expecting. Now the glitch. When I preview the PQ using google maps from the Pq page I get a random cache GC17 in north Oregon and that causes the blue box to become a very large rectangle. This PQ is centered on my house in Duvall Wa and has 1000 unfound and unowned by me. Odd

No. Where I live a PQ around my house returns 500 caches with 106 (as of yesterday) child WPs So when I drop that into my 60CX I get 606 waypoints loading, within the limit of 1000 for that device. Now in a few hours when the site comes back up I will request 1000 caches which will probibly return something in the range of 200 child waypoints. If I tried to directly load this new PQ like I used to it will try to send approximately 1200 waypoints and choke since that is over the limit for my device, so not the same problem. I supose the answer is to upgrade to a newer GPS that has a larger limit, but I currently am loving my SIRF III chipset for maping and currently don't have the same level of confidence in the newer devices, (although several people I trust have told me that the newer firmware updates really have fixed the issues the early adopters were experiencing.) edit for spelling

Not that I use bookmark lists this large, but Nate's definite maybe is better then a stick in the eye.

I agree! +1 Yes, I'm sorry guys. I posted about that here. If you want to tongue lash us please do it there because this thread is gonna get busy. Actually I mostly ment, forgiven due to the 1K. Thanks for everything you are doing Nate.

I agree! +1

...issue resolved...

Groundspeak has decided to no longer allow "forced adoptions" which is what you are asking to do. Unless you can contact the cache owner and have them start the adoption process at www.geocaching.com/adopt there is no way to take over a listing without the current owners permission. If that is the case drop a needs archived on it if it needs it and collect the trash once that happens. Or re-list it as yours once it is cleaned up. Also As I understand it you can't unarchive a cache for the sole purpose of adopting it out and archive caches can not be adopted.

Not worried one bit. Taking the entire family including an infant to Seaside for a week in a month. The stress of worrying about things like this is more likely to affect your health then the very remote possibility that you would get sick.

Forget the weekends, my work keeps telling me to burn some vacation time. I keep forgetting about this one, or maybe I will try at the campout. But I could easily take a random week day off.

Try this Bookmark list Night Caches in Washington There is a cluster of 5 near Snoqualmie, and The Jester has a few in Renton that are close to each other. There is also Scooby's Burke Gilman Trail Night Cache which I didn't see on the list. Hope that helps.

Sorry I had to jet off like that. It was great seeing all of you again.

I guess I should say that I am definitely out. Too far to get back by the time I need to tomorrow. See you next month!

Now, now. He was just trying to fix a malfunctioning cache so he could sign the log. He could have just waved at and called it good it just like more than few other people did. If we can work out all the kinks in time, we'll be using our paintball logger at the next CM. It works pretty well, but it still has a tendency to log the occasional cache more than once. We're still hoping to implement dispersal mode for those annoying unsolved puzzles. I wonder if you found it after or before we did. We felt like we had to pull it in quite hard, like it was catching on something but it was tricky because we were trying not to break the line. Fun cache though, my favorite of the day.

Looks like I will be attending after all. Long day drive in and back with McLaughlin's Marauders. My wife is a saint.

There is a rather large caching run being planned in Walla Walla for this weekend. Hopefully some of the participants will be able to tell you what they liked afterwords.
