Robertlipe.
Is this a bit like we discussed ?
or 
I like this second one quite a bit, but think it looks a bit like a smiley ?
So I tried something radical to get away from looking like a smiley.

I've got an idea for the avatar I'd like if you want to tackle it...
I'd like to see a crow or a blue jay (a jay might be cooler) as a Scottish rough...think Groundskeeper Willie. I think a walking stick would make a good prop. Maybe a brick, tavern, or industrial background. Thanks in advance!
Groundskeeper Bluejay .....

Can this include free camping areas ?
I know a free campground near my place. Can I list it ?

I'd like one if you have the time. I'm female, and like skiing. I have a Gecko and I'm married to BrianSnat. My current avatar is a photo of my letterboxing stamp.- Skigirl43
I was browsing through some clipart, and seeing this image remided me of your request. This is found clipart, not custom, but perhaps you'll like the gfx.

Hi! You helped my brother, Texastracker, with his avatar and it looks AWESOME!!! Can you help me with mine? I can't seem to get the words Arkansas Cache Crew and the Geocaching colors on my avatar. Any help you can give would be GREATLY appreciated! I use a Magellan Sport Track Map GPS and would also like to incorporate the fact that Arkansas is the Natural State in my avatar. We are a family of 4, Mother, Father, 2 daughters. I don't know if that helps with the creative process at all. We are also new to this, but enjoy it immensly! Thanks for any help you can give us!
For Rockymountainflea
By way of explanation.
Replace the word "Arkansas" with the map, and the avatar reads "Arkansas Cache Crew". The Apple blossoms are (of course) the state flower of Arkansas, so I made one with 4 blossoms to represent each member of your family. The green colour of the map of Arkansas is meant to represent it being the "natural" state.
I hope this works.

Did you get this one KC0GRN ?
I brough GPS and cam to work today to make a quick run out.
Looks like in the forum here you have already got it.
edit: - yup checked the cache and see that you have it.
happy caching....

Hey Dino - I love how it's looking...but is there any way we can make the "4 color" part of the logo as the "background" to the globe? In other words, the continents and GSP would be on top of the 4 color background? Hope that makes sense! I love how it's looking though...you're doing a great job! THANKS!!!

NOTICE - hosting of avatars created by Dino_Hunters is changing.
I am posting all AV sized jpg files here with links to GC.COM hosting. If anyone sees a broken IMG link in this thread to a graphic that they did not get downloaded, please send me an e-mail and I will get you the file.
Please download or link all the AV files from these next posts. Thanks.

Thanks Dino Hunters...Great job!!!! Now I have a tuff choice to make. Wish I could do that graphic stuff!!!
I made a avatar sized one for you with the grey background trail hound.

Adult Continuing Education, also know locally and Extension Courses, are not credit courses. They are offered to the public as interessting things to learn often with important skill enhancements as well.
Having been a teacher in this program in the past (computing not geocaching) I can say for sure the instructor does not get all the registration fees.
There are costs involved in running a college however. Keeping the electricity on, the heat/ac (depending on location), buying the computers hundreds a a time for student use, bandwidth etc.
It may at first seem like it would be easy to teach a class for less than $110.00, but not if you supply a connected PC per student, possibly supply a GPS, software licenses if you use any, supplies, and renting the space.

I also hesitate to comment, since my normal style is very much based on "live and let live". Just some observations that I feel might be important to someone at GC or the GC community at large.
a: Whenever a company starts charging for a service that was previously free, there are going to be customers who see it as a "bait" situation. In the early .com days ccompanies that offered free e-mail for instance would have packages where you could get "enhanced" features for a fee, and then started whittling down the services offered for free until the users either payed or left. These companies mostly no longer exits.
b: This particular situation is a bit different than a normal company/client relationship. I observe in the forums that cachers feel they have an investment in the success of this site. After all if there were no caches (put out by cachers) than really there would be no GC.com. I may be possible that since the clients feel they have invested in the success of GC.com the process when implementing a change should be different than the process that IBM or MS might follow.
c: There is probably a silent group of members out there who are not going to post (I almost did not), but who are feeling badly about these types of moves. It's this silent group that can make or break a company, and they are the hardest ones to figure out what they are feeling. Odds are if there is a vocal minority hurt by this move, than there is also a silent group right behind them.
d: Small and seemingly un-important things that can leave a bad taste in the mouth can linger on. I personally checked the Silliness thread out a couple of times only, so no loss for me. On the other hand clicking on a thread re: a frequency scanner that looked interesting and getting the "access denied" screen is not what I prefer. Why can I see the thread title in this forum, but have no rights to read it ?
Me - I'm just gonna keep playing geocaching in whatever way best suits my recreational needs. Less likely to become premium now than before.

FisherBear - The list is on page 11.
For Robertlipe.
Try 4 - added other elements - too busy in my opinion - I do not like it.
Try 5 - Tried moving the sat out of the exchange path and just indicationg PC and
GPS exchanging info - also too busy for my tastes.
Try 6 - Changed the globe to better make space for the sat.
This one does not look bad to me - Still like #3 maybe, but 6 would be my second choice.

GPS Babel is too cool!
Wish I could find some simple line art for a stamp that would work for my alias:
YeOleImposter
Thanks if you can figure anything out.
what do you think of this ?

So I worked on a couple from the bottum of AmishHackers list, I thought I'd start on one from the top (oldest) part of the list.
For robertlipe
1st attempt.
2nd attempt. remove the hands
3rd attempt. change arrows (possibly my favorite of the three)
and as an avatar...

I started this one for DomHeKnows a long time ago, and got too busy to complete, but anyways - here's another option for you DomHeKnows.

Just a thought...
Although I agree that you have already made a great effort in this case, if you still felt like doing more, you could employ a metal detector capable of going in water at least the coil part and wade around the river.
The TB tag should trigger a metal detector no problem. - There is another thread already on here in the geocahing topic where contacting metal detector enthusiasts is dicussed. Remeber they like to find an excuse for a hunt as much as cachers do.

Icefield discovery is older than that, June 9 2001 to be exact.
Out in the middle of Kluane National Park, this one requires a 10-14 day hike or use of an aircraft. The description and coords sound pretty dodgy too -- I'd be worried about not finding this one if I did make the trip.
This one isn't that surprising, especially since we don't have a lot of caching going on up here. Only 2 out of 7 caches placed this year have a FTF. It is not uncommon for a cache to go a year before being found or between finds.
For instance, Scout Lake Road is the oldest cache in the Yukon and also one of the easier ones to get to. It has been found exactly twice in over three years, and one of those was me a few weeks ago.
Cool - I wish there had been caching when I lived up there.
I've hiked up the slims river from Sheep Mt. to the Kaskawalsh (sp?) glacier and back, and also done the scout lake road a few times. Loved camping back there.
Kluane NP is one AMAZING place geocachers.

For Sissy/Trail hound.

Please add this to your list.
This is for a stamp and has to be line art.
"If you are producing the image on the computer, produce it very large. It must be lineart, no shades of gray. BMP, GIF, TIFF, or low compression JPG all work. EPS raster files and CorelDraw 10 or earlier versions work, too."--from CR's instructions.
"I was thinking along the lines of....A blood hound holding a magnifying glass, possibly with a dog track in the center of the glass. And the text, ...You've been found.....trail hound!
or....
A round stamp with a dog track in the middle and Trail (on top) Hound(bottom) following the curve of the stamp
What do you think? Is it do-able?"
-Trail Hound
Thanks guys,
Sissy
Hi again - I'm back from my trip, and would like to give this on a go.
I like to work in line art (vector gfx) best anyways.
Just posting so you know something is in the works.

That's a good story and neat and all, but really I find this to be one of the best things about geocaching.
We get to find all those cool spots that the rest of the tourists don't.
