  1. CR, I was talking about your idea of keeping emergency numbers in a Bison tube with a friend of mine today. He suffers from a few ailments himself, and he agreed that he needed to keep emergency numbers with him in case something happened. That way emergency responders could contact his family and such. He wants me to get him some so he can attach them to his keyrings. He brought up a good idea, in my opinion, also. He thought it would be great, in case the person is incapacitated, if the bison tube had engraved on it "OPEN IN CASE OF EMERGENCY". That way if the person was unconscious or such, the emergency responders would read it and know to open the bison tube up for the numbers inside and the like. Do you think you could engrave a message like that on some bison tubes? I sure do want to purchase some if you can for my friend and my family. Thanks LSUFan
  2. Great idea CR. I have some bison tubes already coming in from an order I placed with you earlier. I'll probably use them for this purpose. Glad to hear your Dad is going to be OK. LSUFan
  3. Cr & Sissy, I just wanted to drop ya a note here in the forums bragging on your products and exceptional service that I have received. . I've been emailing all my geocaching friends and trying to spread the word about you the best I can. I've been communicating with my ole buddy Nyvram1 up in Tennessee. I think he has or is placing an order with you as I type this. I know he is wanting to get some stamps made for his Scout Troop also. I just want everyone who reads these forums to know what an asset CR & Sissy are to the sport. Thanks LSUFan
  4. CR, I just read your post where you were showing some vinyl sticker ideas and was wanting some feedback. I think these are great and I would like to purchase at least four of those signs that say "Geocacher on Board--Expect frequent erratic stops" , if you have any of these made up. I would like to give them to my fellow geocaching crew around here. I like this concept and am sure my partners will too. You are currently making me a stamp of my new avatar, and I would also like to have a vinyl sticker of it too if you could possibly add it to my order along with the above stickers and other items. I want to thank you and Sissy for all the help and ideas you have given me. Keep up the good work. LSUFan
  5. DH, That is perfect. It's exactly what I wanted. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the effort you made for me. Please let me buy you dinner for this. Just email me an address and I'll send you some restaurant gift cards. Let me know what kind of food you enjoy also. If there's one thing we Cajuns know how to do, it's eating----after a day of geocaching I'm going to download it and get it to Sissy so she can make me a stamp from it. Thanks Again LSUFan
  6. I use a pocket pc for geocaching and it works great when you have all the accessories and software. I have two geocaching partners who have copied my setup. We all use a Dell Axim 5 (64 mb Ram-- 400 mhz processor) along with a Holux GM-270 compact flash GPS, Mapopolis mapping software, and GPXSonar geocaching software. You can download gpx files from the geocaching.com site and put them on your pocket pc. GPXSonar (which is freeware from another fellow geocacher) then reads these gpx files and shows them on your pocket pc screen just like the website does. All you have to do to see the hidden spoiler is to highlight a blank area on the screen and the spoiler shows up if you need it. Mapopolis software is a mapping software you can use on your pocket pc. They have several versions available but i recommend the navigator version. It speaks turn by turn directions to you as you are driving so you don't have to watch a screen. Mapopolis also has a free gpx conversion utility(they realized how many geocachers are using their software) which lets you convert gpx files to points on the mapopolis maps. It is so easy when you're at one cache and you let ampopolis give you directions to the next one, thru voice prompts. The compact flash gps just plugs into a compact flash slot on top of the dell axim and the mapopolis software ( or other mapping software) shows you directions to your caches. It's truly paperless caching this way and extremely easy once you get used to it. If you shop ebay, you can get all of this for around 300 dollars. The hardest thing will be the axim to get a deal on. Mapopolis is 100 bucks and the gps is around seventy or so depending on the deal. If you shop hard you can get an axim for 130 dollars used. My buddies have gotten some for this price. Just trying to be helpful and show what works for me. I'm sure you can do all of this on a Palm but since I don;t have a Palm, I can't give you any pointers on one.
  7. Just for fun, I checked garmins website and I think I found for free what you're wanting. This is version 3.60 of the software for the eTrex Legend. There is a sidenote on the righthand side of this page for you to download the Marine Points of Interest(POI) if it was included in your etrex, since it will be lost when you upgrade the software. Check this link out and see if it helps you. http://www.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=25
  8. I'm trying to figure out exactly which software you are wanting. I have a garmin GPSIIIPlus which I update for free from the Garmin website. I would check here to see if they have available for download exactly what you are looking for. The website is www.garmin.com I know for sure you can update your units software from here. Just trying to help
  9. Thanks Sissy, I just got my order in today. I've already started painting containers using the stencils. I appreciate you sending microlog sheets with the bison tubes, that made it so much easier. I know I said I was going to get some artwork to you to make a stamp out of but I'm not satisfied with my current avatar. I'm trying to get some help on another forum with this and will get the linart to you as soon as I can. Thanks again for the products, I've already started including a hyperlink to your store with my correspondance to other geocachers. Thanks LSUFan
  10. Hey Everyone, I was needing some help on a avatar I was wanting for my screename. I've been using my company logo as my avatar but it just doesn't go with my geocaching name. I was wanting to get a stamp made from CR & Sissy so I just need it to be simple black and white lineart. I've been trying to draw this myself but have quickly learned I have no artistic abilities whatsoever. I'm wanting something looking like a profile of Charlie Brown standing in his shorts and hiking boots. It would be neat if he had on a backpack and was holding a gps in his hand. The fun part was I was wanting him to be wearing a football helmet with LSU on the side of the helmet. Can someone take pity on this creatively challenged cajun and help me out? LSUFan
  11. Thanks for your answer Sissy, I"ll get the artwork to you tomorrow (or Thursday)when I get back in town. I would like to purchase one of the plexiglass mounts you are describing also. Thanks again, I'm looking forward to receiving the items. LSUFan
  12. I had placed an order last Friday thru paypal and I was wondering if it would be too late to add a rubber stamp in with this order. The Paypal ID # is 4L975464FT671544G. Can you please let me know? Thanks LSUFan
