  1. Here is my poem for consideration:

     

    You have to search to find the gift of love

     

    Like the love that now unites you it had to be searched to be found

    Through the years and encounters true love now abounds

    Life is an adventure and a new journey awaits you

    But not before we send you on a search that will elate you

    We have something that will fit in the palm of your hand

    and with the marvel of technology send you across the land

    A GPS unit will guide you on this search for our gift to you

    and may your heart continue to guide you just as true

  2. When I purchased my LEGEND Color GPS it came with piece that screws into the battery compartment cover, so I did not have any problem using the car mount. I would have to get a replacement cover for my older non-color LEGEND if I wanted to use it with the car mount. I now use color in the car and the older legend in the field :) I sure like the auto route function in the Color LEGEND and City Select Maps.

  3. I am an avid Disc Golfer (PDGA 14567). My first geocache hide now archived, was called "Not an Ultimate Adventure". The cache was a Disc with directions to play the Disc Golf course in New Brunswick, NJ. The other part of the cache was for anyone finding the cache to sign the disc and I was going to take the disc and use it in my 5th Disc Golf World Championships. Unfortunately I changed jobs and did not get to go to the worlds and use the disc.

  4. I have been very happy with the reviewers and appreciative of their volunteer efforts. The reviewer's communications were always professional and timely. The only time I did not get an approval was for a virtual but I found a way to hide a micro there instead and I am glad I did it's one of my favorite hides.

     

    Three cheers for all you reviewers out there!

     

    Hip hip horay!

  5. Some great responses on the topic. I don't want to spy on any particular person by monitoring a geocache with a webcam, I just thought it would be great to go to a website on a rainy day when I can't go caching myself and tune in to the search of the day for the cache being monitored, all in good fun.

     

    I think it would be wise to set up the cache so that everyone up front knows that they are being monitored for the enjoyment of the entire geocaching community.

     

    I understand the whole "big brother" and right to privacy concerns that have been raised, but i hope everyone understands the intention of this kind of cache. A global sharing of the hunt for all to see. Sounds like potential public relations for geocaching and a way for muggles and potential cachers to see what it's all about.

     

    Please continue the discussion, but let's be nice :P Let's not ruffle each others feathers over this one :lol:

  6. I have a webcam at my office and was planning on doing exactly this - placing a cache across the street in a grassy area and pointing the webcam at the cache.  I would just have the cam store a running MPEG during daylight hours and go back and capture a pic whenever someone logged it.

    It would be cool if made a webpage for all to see your cam running monitoring the cache you intend to hide and set up the page so everyone can comment on what they see. It would be like those webcams that monitor every moment of someone's life except in this case it would be monitoring the cache's life and exploits of those that seek the cache.

     

    Kind of like "You are the search engine" meets "Your engine is being monitored"

  7. Fellow Geocachers, We all get to read the logs about finds and DNF's but I thought it would be great to actually be at home on the computer monitoring a geocache via a webcam to see the hunt. Watching the cacher sneak around trying to avoid detection and making the find or watching the cacher go in circles leaving empty handed. It would be great if there was a geocache that anyone could monitor via a web cam.

     

    You could go to the webcam site and watch fellow geocachers during the hunt. I wonder if anyone has something like this already. If not I think it would be a great one to do and post it on a website for all to see.

     

    I am not taking about a webcam cache rather a traditional cache that is monitored by a webcam. Am I FTF on this idea?

     

    I guess it would have to be close to your residence or workplace or an existing webcam that is overlooking a suitable geocache hiding place.

     

    If any sites like this exist it would be great to post them here for everyone to monitor and the name of the cache that it being monitored.
