It might be OK if it were listed as a Multi and gave a bearing. Is it possible the CO modified the cache description after it was published?

Most folk who hunt solely for the count burn out and get bored with the activity fairly quickly.

+1 I've found a number of caches that were along a road with no legal parking. I kept driving, found legal parking, and walked back to the cache location. Go and do likewise. I'm talking about rural areas, not city streets with sidewalks. Walking along a rural public road for a mile has safety issues of its own and I really don't believe this was the intention of the folks who toss these out.

Maybe it's just me, but it bugs me when people "hide" caches along public roads where there is no place to pull-off or park. Do they not realize it is unsafe to park/stop a vehicle in the middle of the road to grab a candy container tossed behind a utility pole? Yes, I realize I can ignore these types of caches and yes, I usually do, but it's often difficult to know from the description. Maybe there should be an "Attribute" for these sorts of caches to make it easier to identify and filter them out?

I suppose everyone but me is aware of this, but I recently discovered that caches on an Ignore list do not show up on the Google Cache map.

Wear light colored clothing (ticks will be easier to see) and long pants. Tuck socks over the pant cuffs and keep shirt tails tucked in. Treat yourself with a good bug repellant just prior to hitting the trail. Use freely on socks, pant legs and waist band. Stop every-so-often while on the trail and do a quick tick inspection. Change clothes as soon as you get home and put the dirty stuff in the washer. Shower. As for "seed ticks", pants made with canvas or "cotton duck" tends to not collect them as well as denim, etc. The dull edge of a knife can be used to brush them off of clothing.

Good luck with that. In my experience customer service tends to not be very helpful with discontinued products.

Huh?

Scratching a Poison Ivy rash will not cause it to spread unless you happen to have the plants oils on your fingers or under your fingernails. The liquid in the blisters is pus and will not spread the rash. How quickly a rash develops can depend on where the contact was made. For example, Poison Ivy contact on the fingers and arm might result in a rash on the fingers sooner than on the arm. Scratching is not good and can lead to infection. If you are sensitive to Poison Ivy do some research and don't rely on hearsay.

Yep that's Poison Ivy. You can protect yourself somewhat by trying to be aware of it and taking action as soon as possible after exposure. Rinse the exposed area with soap and cold water. Rubbing Alcohol also works to remove the irritating oil and commercial Poison Ivy washes are available. Be aware that the oils from the plant can remain viable for some time on clothing and animal fur. This means that if you and your dog walk thru a patch of Poison Ivy you could be exposed to the oil on the dogs fur or from the clothes you wore.

If you have a legitimate question or issue then why not give your thread a legitimate title? This one reeks of innuendo and appears to me as nothing more than an appeal for attention.

Tim, I was interested in the Dakota, but when I checked them out at the local Bass Pro I found I don't like them. I love my touch screen Nuvi, but the little munchkin touch screens on Dakotas don't appeal to my big fingers. Plus, it reminded me of a potato for some reason. Taters don't feel right in a shirt pocket. Thats good. I always recommend going to the store to check them out first. Same holds true with the new eTrex units. I'm sure I will pick up at least one just to test it out and give it away if I dot like it. Testing it out in the store is always better than just buying blindly online. I'm not a Garmin guy but if you give it away I'll take it!!!

ALL HUNTERS OF TUPPERWARE RISE UP AND BE HEARD!

I would expect that devices such as these are tested for water resistance under controlled laboratory conditions with all covers, etc. torqued to manufactured settings. The first time the battery compartment is opened or the device is dropped all bets are off.

I've had good luck keeping logs dry in those plastic sliding-lid magnetic key safes (Hillman) by attaching cut-out rectangles of inner tube over the opening. I suppose one could try something similar with a candy tin if they wanted. Personally I see no future in them except as candy tins.

Can't speak for the company or the preforms, but they do have some cheap swag (keychain flashlights, etc.) and micro cache container (pill vials - aka bison tubes).

I was in denial for the first year or so, but finally realized that life was too short. That was 12 years ago. Finding polo shirts with pockets can be a challenge, though! I wouldn't be caught dead in a polo shirt, pocket or not. READING GLASSES HANG AROUND YOUR NECK! That is all I have to say. Now, back to the topic at hand...

Maybe hubby needs to do like me and get a pair of reading glasses.

To manually enter waypoints - Press "Enter". Click "Entered Position". Type in the Lat/Long info in the spaces. Click "Create". To Go To a waypoint - Press "Find". Press "My Waypoints". Press "Nearest" or "Name". Select a Waypoint from list. Scroll thru the menu options at the bottom using the left/right/up/down toggle button. Select "Go To".

That's not a GPS chip, the chip only contains a code which can be read by vets and animal shelters, which is then looked up in a database to retrieve the owner's information. My point exactly. When all the other options are considered, an embedded chip is probably the best one can do, other than practicing good parenting skills and common sense. Kids should memorize their address and phone number as soon as possible and taught to recognize suspicious situations and how to react (RUN! SCREAM!). Playing it safe is one thing. Obsessing over this sort of thing is not healthy for either parents or child.

Go to the Vet and have one of those chips implanted which they use on dogs and cats.

As an ex-Endura owner I concur.

Yep, apparently Lowrance has abandoned the Geocaching scene in favor of the boating and marine market.

Maybe you have to do connect to the PC and delete them from there?

Yes of course. That is an option. (I'm surprised it took so long for someone to come up with that.)
