  1. Where are there two different dates on the coin? On the front it says 1/13/06 and on the reverse is says 1/12/06.
  2. Thanks for the replies. I did check out Totally Tubular but had ruled it out because I generally suck at puzzle caches . I do have confirmation that I have the coordinates for Blur and Sorry, Charlie so those are on the to-do list. As far as school goes - they're pretty strict on skipping class. If you miss 2 hours out of the 24 hours scheduled for the class they kick you out . My class runs from 8:30 to 5:30 each day so I can get in a little caching before class but most of the after class caching will have to be done in the dark it seems. I have been going through the PQs looking for caches that are available 24/7 so I can do a little caching after class. I will be coming down I-95 and have a few caches picked out for the trip down. Are there any must see virts I should do on the way?
  3. Perhaps as cache owners we could provide Groundspeak a contact phone number and if someone contacts Groundspeak about one your caches Signal can call you about it. I share Jamie Z's view on this all you have to do these days to get someones address and map to their house is type in their phone number on Google.
  4. I can't tell for sure if proposals are being accepted or not. On one hand there's the pinned topic saying they aren't and other the other I see new proposals popping up. What do you think of a "Car(s) on pole" subcategory? You know those cars you see at junk yards or auto body shops, etc.
  5. I'll be driving down to Melbourne next week and wanted to know if there's any "Don't Miss" caches I should do. I have been checking out caches using pocket queries and there looks like a great variety of caches down there. I'm also interested in caches I can do in the evening since I'll be in class from 8:30 - 5:30 each day. Thanks in advance for any tips you can pass along.
  6. Our kids are: Male, 20 - has found a few with us if we stop while traveling. Otherwise he's to busy chillin' with his friends. Female, 18 - likes to cache and says she wants to go again with us if she can fit us into her busy schedule. Male, 16 - football, football, football - 'nuff said Donna and I enjoy caching alone since it gives us a chance to get out of the house without the kids
  7. Here's a link for one I found that you can print on Avery 5167 labels. CITO Label I have a different format that I use - it has the CITO logo on it and prints on two up Avery labels. Unfortunately I can't find the link for it right now . Hopefully someone will post it. If no one does I can email you a copy of it when I get home tonight. Thanks for being interested in this practice. I leave at least one in every cache that I find. Hopefully it's making a difference.
  8. Hi, my name is person B and I'm an icon junkie. There I said it, let the healing process begin I have done exactly what UOTrackers described, though it may not have been with the same cache. I typically check for TBs and coins for caches here in my area and if I see one holding a coin or other trackable that I haven't found yet I'll quite likely make a trip to the cache to retrieve it so I can score that icon on my profile page. When I do this I always place the trackable into another cache as soon as I can. For example when I grabbed a white jeep recently I didn't even bring it home. I grabbed it from cache A, wrote down the tracking number and dropped it in cache B on the way home. Some folks play the game to get first to finds I play it to move travel bugs and score new icons. Do you consider the practice as I have described it above to be rude or unfair to others?
  9. Uh, yeah, I think so. At least your the first person I've ever seen take the position you're taking. The issue I see with not waiting is your only option is to grab the TB from the current holder and not retrieve it from the cache so that TB doesn't get credit and mileage for being in that cache. Unless you grab it and then dip it in the cache before moving it along. I see no problem at all with logging a note on the TB page stating that you've taken possession of the TB and are waiting for the previous holder to log the drop off.
  10. If you go to the TB page (I'm assuming this is one of your TBs) just above the Travel Bug History logs you'll see the Gallery of images. Next to the images that you've uploaded you should see [Edit]. Click that link and you can delete the image. Now if you did this for someone else's TB, I'm not sure if you can delete the image yourself or not.
  11. Here's a copy of the response I received from Ben in response to my question. I asked "Quick question regarding the Singal series (there's a discussion about this topic on the Groundspeak forums). Will these coins have their own icon and tracking number? On the web site it appears as if these coins just get a normal 6-digit tracking number like normal travel bugs do." His repsonse "The Signal Geocoins will have a tracking number just like any other GC.com Trackable geocoin. They will have the prefix of SG. They are described as "Travel Bug" codes because not everyone understands that the Travelbugs and Geocoins are tracked the same way. I am sure that Groundspeak will add an icon for the coins, but I am not sure if it will be a new icon every month."
  12. 4 coins for me. I plan to release them as follows 4/1/06 - release one (my birthday), 4/2/06 release another one 4/3/06 - release 3rd one (Bikedog's birthday). I will release the 4th on 1/13/2007 - which will be the first anniversary of his passing.
  13. Greetings, Could you add another column to the TB Page that shows the TBs current state/country. It would be great to see at a glance where each of the TBs listed on that page is currently hanging out. Thanks for considering it. P.S. While you implement this fix the mileage problem - the TB owners are starting to get restless over not having mileage.
  14. I received a reply from them....but it's on the computer at work . I will post their reply tomorrow morning.
  15. If I'm some place that does not have Internet access I'll either log them using (1) local library computer or (2) wireless connection at Barnes & Nobles book store.
  16. Make mine trackable here so if I do release it I can track it from one web site.
  17. I tried using my 60c with one of those suction cup stalk mounts attached to the windshield and didn't like it at all. The beanbag setup that Birdman_1 uses is the way to go.
  18. I sent them an email asking for clarification. I ordered two of the January coins. I hope they have their own icon. I'll post a reply if/when I get one.
  19. I found a 2005 Groundspeak Volunteer coin today. It was my 100th trackable find. I will release it soon so others here in central Georgia can enjoy it.
  20. Too bad they don't publish numbers so when the rest of us get stuck we'd have someone to call . This would help especially when caching out of your local area.
  21. I miss having an icon indicating that I've replied to a post . I hope there's some way to add that back.
  22. Now that searching works I could find your post. I just send payment for one for my Garmin 60C. Thanks!
  23. When will our buttons be shipped to us? I want to show my support by placing them in caches near the Air Force base here...
  24. So do I. It was mailed last Friday afternoon.
