How in the world do you do that? I figured out another way though...if it works. Just clicked on that and then saved the page on my "favorites". I STILL wanna' know how you did that though. :/ They did it using Nunya.

All good ideas but I'm not going to use up my GPS batteries trying to get a defective electronic cache to work. In my area, there was a cache that hinted that "batteries not included". It lasted all of a week because somebody used a small 12 volt battery on it and fried it good. There is another one, in my area, that is a multi, and at one point you pick up a switch, at another you get a power device, and at the third you get the electronic device. Put it all together and you get a result. Nice fine and dandy, as the CO provided everything you needed including instructions to make it work.

You will have to use a program like Base Camp, or Easy GPS or GSAK or Map Source to load the caches onto the HC.

Yes. No.

I thought the whole idea of the Delorme map challenges in each State was using the Delorme map to fill in each county. The DeLorme Challenge is to find at least 1 cache per Delorme map page. In certain instances there may be more than 1 county on the page so it would be possible to get your Delorme page but not the counties on that page.

When I first started caching I was the proverbial "bull in a china shop". Wherever the arrow pointed, I went. This led to bushwhacking through scrub oak, not fun, leaving trails and heading out through cactus patches, also not fun, and climbing up boulders where a slip could mean a nasty possibly horrible injury, also not fun. Now I cache smarter. I stay on trail even if it means that I've walked past the shortest distance to GZ. More than likely the trail will circle around and gain altitude easier than going straight up the hill. So you can blindly follow the arrow and hunt your way, or you can cache smarter, its your choice. BTW... if you are on the north rim of the Grand Canyon you are going to have one heck of a hike to get the cache on the south rim using your method. I'll drive around using the roads to get to the south rim.

Until you find out that there is a path/road right to the cache that avoided the big valley and river you had to cross, not to mention the cliff you scaled.

They have a Garmin Etrex10. They said this in the other thread they have going about the same subject.

What they are doing is going to the North coordinate and then keeping that distance as zero, heading to the west coordinate until it reaches zero. So if they were in Austin, TX and wanted to go to NYC, they would head north until the N distance was zero and then they would head east until that distance said zero. Make sense? You and I would just head to the coordinate where N&W distances are both zero.

Depends on what you mean by "recent". I doubt that my Garmin Venture HC would show up as mass storage, and I consider that to be recent. Now if you mean "recent" as in the past 2 years, I would say yes.

AH HA!!.... Thank you very much for the link to the older versions. For me, all is now well.

This is what I came up with as a perfect solution. DeLorme Inreach SE Then all you have to do is let your contact people know that they are on your list and that if something happens they will get a notification.

See if you can get your TB to a TB hotel near O'Hare. Many pilots are geocachers and they check TB hotels near airports, maybe one that is flying international will pick it up and take it across the pond.

Actually, Plano makes a plastic ammo "can" in either shotgun shell size or the typical 30 and 50 cal sizes at very reasonable prices starting at about $6.

Greasemonkey is doing something to the logs and mapping capability.

Even that doesn't work at times. I had one chained to a tree in a remote area and it went missing. The chain had been cut and everything was taken.

If the description matches the trackable, it doesn't matter where it was listed as being located. Somebody else could have picked it up and dropped it into the cache you found and they forgot which cache they put it in so it was logged wrong.

Try having to wait almost 6 months before your cache is found. Its like watching paint dry or grass grow.

Start at GPS File Depot You should be able to find something.

If you are using Greasemonkey, disable it and the logs will appear again. Something is going on between GreaseMonkey and GC.

To do what Walt says, you have to log in as the cache owner. You, yourself, cannot do what needs doing.

Most High caches are not on the top of the peak because of the confusion between the summit log and cache. And I don't know where you are looking but I can tell you that there are many caches placed within 100 feet of the summit. One of my caching partners has done many of them. BTW... as has been mentioned... do NOT use the term "wilderness" when talking about caches.

He's not selling an eTrex 40... he's selling and eTrex (model unknown) for 40 (dollars, euros, pesos, lira, whatever) His title does make it sound like it is a model 40 though.
