If you e-mail me, I can send you a file in a format (eps) that your printer will be able to read dirctly. I won't be able to reply till monday however. DH

Yup - both look better to me now.
-
reasons.
1: I found it's a good way to get my kids a little more active. If they think they are playing with technology rather than "hiking" they are more inclined to get outdoors.
2: It's something the whole family can do together. Not a lot of specific athletic requirements (unless heading for a 4+ terain) etc. Besides buying a GPSr there is not a lot of additional gear required if you already have shoes and a jacket. (this of course is discussable, but I had to add nothing else to my gear collection)
3: Seeing new locations while being a tourist. Geocaching is a great way to be a tourist. You rely on locals to get you to the REAL cool places, not the ones that the travel information booth knows about. This to me is a far more interesting way to visit new areas.
4: Practice for navigational skills. Geocaching can teach folks many valuable navigational skills which can be applied to other activities such as hiking,fishing,hunting,search & rescue....... etc.
5: It's fun.

Thoughts yet?
Okay, okay.... its a bump.
M-T-P
I like your new one.
After shrinking it to 75 pixels, I have a couple of comments.
1: If you could enlarge the space shuttle it would likely show up better at that small size.
2: The small cloud to the lower left of the "M" ends up looking a bit like an underscore character when shrunk, so the letters look like
"_M-P-T"
You might want to darken or remove that cloud.
Hope that was the kind of constructive comments you are looking for.

Hello !! This is such a cool forum topic , it just may lure me back after a several year absence .
Could you see what magic you could work with this picture. Maybe color it with the Geocaching colors ?? What do you think ??

Any ideas on a possible logo or avatar?
Here's a try...
or B&W for other purposes....
e-mail me for the eps files if you like.

For Low on Cache !

I would like to an avatar/sig item that shows a hog (North Carolina is the hog capital , and best BBQ around IMHO, of the world)doing something a fat person (such as myself would do).
How about a victory dance ?
(this is just a clip I found, but it made me laugh so I uploaded it for you)

Any help would be gratefully received.... I can not get any inspiration for 'Harrogate Hunters'
Harrogate is in the Middle of North Yorkshire, The North Yorkshire Dales are close, with dry stone walls, sheep etc.
Any help would be better than what I have got !
HH - this was an attempt to "illustrate" yet alter one of the photos in your gallery. Feel free to...
a: enjoy it
b: not use it
c: be offended and ask me to remove it from GC.com

It's (I read somewhere) A "King Solomon's" celtic knot. It is said to represent the wisdom of Solomon.

My Geoname is WYZE01 and I am female and cache with my Geohubby. I am NOT into owls and I don't wear glasses (yet) - I know WYZE01 lends itself to both. ... Especially crave anything w/the geocaching colors!
Don't want anything evil or mean looking. A fun or mysterious look would be cool. Thanks for any ideas!!
How about ...

Our family just adopted this little caching buddy a week ago.
We hope to teach her to SNIFF out those caches.
-
I like your cat/hound one, but here's an alternate try.....
Oh my gosh Dino Hunters
I can't believe how awsome that is. My love of Basset Hounds is second only to my love of airplanes (hence my name skycop)
Can I have your permission to use this on my new business cards?
Thank you so much....I had this very idea in my head but was never able to get it on paper.
Bob
Sky Cop.
Sorry for the delays....
I think this guys head looks more like a real hound.
Here is just the dog and plane a bit bigger.....

If contacted by another member asking if you would make your micro inactive so they could place a traditional trade friendly cache very near by in a wooded area, would you do it?
Or would you be offended?
Yup - I'd be at least open for dicussion of the cache location. Alternatives like co-ownership come to mind. Maybe the hider was eyeing up the woods, but was afraid to ask for church permission ?
The phrasing of the original opening letter would be very important to opening the conversation however. It would be very easy to give the wrong impression of your opinions and ideas, so tread lightly.
-
I feel sad. I htought i copuld get some open opinions, and all people can offer is cited sarcasim and one sided opinions. I started this thread just to get some feedback, and ideas, but evidently this is too sore a subject for people to handle, with subjectivity. I will let it go. Thanks for the feedback.
My feedback is to not hold a MO event, and my idea for you is to include everyone who wishes to attend.
I'm still waiting for my schedule, and an event near enough to my location to mesh. I'd love to meet some more cachers.

See my log for GCJEP0...
There's a pic of my ride there.

I would like an avatar of two swans facing each other to form an almost heart shape please and if you could squeeze an etrex yellow into the picture (tastefully) that would be great.
Otherwise a modification of the existing avatar to put a GPS in the leading girls hand.
I could not think of a way to tastefully put in a yellow etrex - at least not yet.....
-
Here's a shot at an avatar on that one.......

Here you go APAANDSONLOOKINGFORFUN.

That was my post, and on my screen it shows up as having been posted by me.
-
It still says "Adobe Illustrator" on my screen...am I missing something ?
Both posts.

I would like to request an avatar please.
I am Sinbad7Seas.
Based on the old pirate adventure movies of the 70s and 80s.
So an avatar with a pirate theme and the geocaching colors would be great.
Thanks,
Sinbad7Seas
Just removed some background for you....

what program makes the vector images?
I use an antique version of a program called Micrografx Designer.
I have version 4.1 Tech Edition from eons ago, but it still works so....
The "Open Office" suite has a vector editor as part of that package.
I have it installed, and should see how well this works on a project some day.

Sure - if you want the EPS file send me an email with an address I can attach a file to.....
Geocaching In Parks.
in Canada
Posted · Edited by Dino Hunters
No caching should not be banned in the park.
I just have two comments.
First - it is a misconception that caches cannot be hid and found without creating a social trail. This is simply untrue. I myself have found a cleverly hid cache within a national park. Hidden right under my nose, but difficult to find. No social trail being created.
Second - cachers are no less friendly to the parks than many other groups of users. The only other option is to simply ban people period. Cachers are no harder on the land than are, sightseers, climbers, photographers, canoeists, kayakers, hikers, backpackers, skiers, snowshoers, etc.
The only thing that I see as a valid point is that hiders could take extra precautions when hiding to ensure that hunters do not have to create a trail to find it in areas that are obviously more sensitive.
