  1. The moral to this whole tale? Simple, really: Anyone can do anything once they decide to stop being afraid of doing it. Whether they survive it or not is solely dependant upon how well they've thought it out...

     

    I agree with you 100%! The president of the company I work for is a 40-something female with a Masters in Art from Notre Dame. She can hang drywall and cabinets, install minor electrical work and paint a beautiful portrait. I taught her how to use a scrollsaw and a wood lathe. She'll take on projects herself that the guys in the plant are afraid (or too lazy) to do.

    And to top it all off...She's BLONDE!

     

     

    Is she single??

  2. Doug,

    You did a great job organizing this CITO. It was a pleasure to help our Canadian neighbors clean up one of their parks. I'm guessing there were about 50 people that showed up.

  3. The Legend only comes with 8m of memory, whereas the C has 24m. Quite a difference. The color screen is much easier to see. Once you load maping software on the C, you can look up address', streets, etc. (Lets say your in a strange area, everyone is hungry, you can type in McDonalds and it'll show you where the nearest one is, even give you the phone number. Plus, the newer models have the expandable memory, so you can load TONS of maps and caches.

  4. Just like Miragee said. Once you have everything loaded, your pda will have the cache pages in it, including past finders logs, hints, everything you see now when you print out the page. Once you find the cache, you can write in the pda what you traded, and any other notes. No more binders full of cache pages that might be out of date or archived

  5. What is the difficulty level of those 6. Have they been found recently? What size caches are they, small, micro, regular? These can all effect your luck as a beginner. Try to look for regular size 1:1, 1.5:1.5 rated caches to begin. The more you find, the more your eyes will "learn" how to "see". Then you can start looking for the more difficult ones, and be amazed at how cachers will hide/ camoflage the containers. There are a couple park employees in my area who have used several hundred feet of 2mm cable to suspend a cache over a river where you had to follow the cable to the end to unhook it to lower the cache, then wade out to reach it.

  6. What I would like to think she is doing, and what I would have done, yes, I would have taken all the coins. If she is on a business trip, and visiting several states, drop one off in each state, bring one home to my home state and drop it off there, really spread them around and put some milage on them. This would also allow many more cachers the chance to pick up that icon in different regions of the country.

  7. Over the last few days, I got quite a mix of coins.
