  1. I put it into the cap with the screw thread. Never had a problem with the better ones. The cheaper ones are actually shorter so they are a little easier.
  2. I have no problem rolling them up..just finding them. But really...I see a lot of them...since I live in the SF Bay Area.
  3. Along the same lines, I will fix it up if it should be or if the CO is known to be out of the game and it is a worthy cache. I have taken old soaked logs home and left in the garage to dry out and have emailed the CO...but have never had one that wanted it back. Of course, I am newer to the game and not so bound by the historical ways. I will always add a log if the one there is full.
  4. I like to use them to make a printout with the number legend. It is just that it is [well] smaller now.
  5. Interesting. I'm getting personalization (finds show as smilies and hides as stars) on the old maps. Did they flip a switch again, or is this a Platinum Member benefit? It is kinda of working...but not completely.
  6. The upgrades to the site are incredible. The speed is amazing!!
  7. I think it is the app with the smartphone and the newbie. I have cached with some at events..and they don't know any other way. They don't go on the forums so how are they going to know? In fact, my daughter and her fiance are like that. She doesn't even log them. He log them and does say somethng...but yep...they went to college.
  8. I like the old maps. I am color blind and the icons on the new "beta maps" are hard to see. But usually, I only care about the traditionals. Still...there are no numbers and a legend on the betas...so I cannot make a printable map...the popup thingys [ballons] do not lend itself to a print format....
  9. Not yet...happy if they haven't been muggled. Using the brain to create a new cache hide instead.
  10. Yep..it is screwed up...I need the "personalization" to work..with the old maps... That is bc I print up an area map with numbers..and a legend to drive to those locations.... The new maps don't allow a legend to be displayed and to be "snipped" for printing...some legend or a display of the GC #s is necessary to reference the icons on the new map [yes...I need to print the map...cause sometimes the android has poor reception..] thanx..ab
  11. Android baby..android...Virgin Mobile for 25 buck a month..unlimited data..10 buck for the GC app [plus PM membership of course]..now you have total paperless [in the USA].
  12. No paper for me except for a map [maybe]. A paper map does help, but the map on the pn-40 or Garmin Vista will work in pinch. Now have an Android as well..I guess I must be hooked []..
  13. Please use a totally waterproof container!
  14. TIP Don't overlook the car GPSr [i use a Nuvi]...I use that to get there and then use a Garmin vista HCx and a PN-40 to get the cache. The paperless is on the Nuvi and the PN-40. All of this is loaded from a PQ using GSAK...
  15. Enough has been said...picture of a log sheet is [well] boring. Pictures of the area of interest is what caching is about. aloha
  16. My husband found one of those 'blinkers' - Good God - I don't know how the owner got that log rolled up inside that thing. To be completely honest, we didn't remove the log for fear of not being able to roll it back up tight enough to get it back in!! One of these days, I'm going to go back there to take a picture of it!! Definately worth a picture. We just couldn't do it that day - too many muggles. LOL--I'll bet there are a bunch in the "big city' nearby...maybe in Philly???
  17. "small micros like a bison tube" works for me...
  18. Since you mentioned Walmart... these cases by Outdoor Products are totally waterproof. Cost is 6-8 dollars depending on size. Tried to post a picture but this text only reply won't allow it.
  19. You get what you pay for [my lesson in life]....I think the Garmin is faster and more accurate.
  20. I agree with this assessment. It could very well be listed on another site and purposely not listed with GC.com. It could also have been cross-listed to GC.com and has not yet been approved or was denied but it is active on another site. Simply removing it without knowing is a bad idea. ditto...don't remove it...
  21. Looking For Lon http://coord.info/GCPCKH This is a great indoor one.
  22. You need the Nuvi macro and GSAK for the NUVI..
