  1. We just did our 10th CITO yesterday. Coffee & doughnuts while getting our assignments, pizza lunch when we finished, and two t-shirts each. Added to this was CITO bags to take and assorted pens and badge holders given out. Included in the badge holder was a mini first aid kit. We are getting a good collection of shirts from these events.

     

    But . . . you gotta do it for the warm, fuzzy feeling you get. The goodies are just extra.

  2. DrNeal's post about covers what was there as far as new coins for the GCF 2011.

     

    I had the pleasure of helping the good doctor with setting up his discovery / trading tables (yes plural). :D

     

    If he doesn't have it, it's still at the mint.

  3. I think this is in the wrong forum, but I would suggest getting a model that can do double-duty as a general purpose (i.e., vehicle, hiking) navigation device, not just one focused on your hobby.

     

    ~ArtMan~

     

    Unlike ArtMan, we use 3 different devices. The TomTom's in the Jeeps. A Lowrance 5200C Chartplotter/GPS in the boat and a DeLORME PN-20 or the PN-30 for the final find.

     

    That's just us, we have a phone to make calls and a camera to take photos. Luddite, I know. :P

  4. From the page:

     

    If you have your own personal web site or blog, did you know you can post your own updating stat bar there? Choose your options to customize your own stats bar, and copy the html from the textbox below and paste it into the html of your web site to display it there.

  5. Can someone describe how Benchmarks are dealt with while using an I Phone?

     

    I can seam to search for benchmarks on my I Phone as all searches want to start with GC.

     

    Can I log a benchmark from the I phone?

     

    Any other useful info.

     

    Try the Benchmarking forum.Benchmark Hunting

     

    Not all the Coords listed are accurate, some may be off by a quarter mile or more.

     

    That's where the "goto" helps.

  6. I'm switching vehicles and want to keep the same travel bug going on my new truck. Is there a way to get a replacement decal?

     

    Here ya go . . .

    Just what you're asking for.

  7. We have 13 caches on Lake Keowee in South Carolina. 12 are on islands and one is at the ramp we put in at. There are a total of about 35 on the lake and you can make a day of it.

     

    Here is out cache boat, 2004 Triton 163 Sport, with Mrs. 2J2J at the helm.

  8. Now that this has been steered back around . . . Yes, I carry when caching. Main carry is a Charter Arms Bulldog Pug in .44 Special. Also known to carry a Taurus 92-AFS, Taurus PT-145, or a Taurus Model 66 in .357 Magnum.

     

    We blow off the caches that are on school property. I do notify LEO when we meet.

  9. We have the PN-20 & PN-30, make sure your backlight is not staying on all the time. Check under MENU - DEVICE SETUP - DISPLAY - BACKLIGHT TIMER. We get the best charge using the 120 volt adaptor that came with the battery kit.

     

    I've searched the forums pretty throughly and haven't seen this question. I use a DeLorme PN-30 and bought the rechargeable battery kit. I can't seem to get the battery to accept more than a 3/4 charge. Then, it doesn't seem to last as long as normal AA batteries. Does anyone know of any secrets I can use? Thanks in advance!

  10. I just call my ride - "my jeep" or "the liberty"

     

    My wife refers to it as the "the Green Jeep" - mostly because hers is red.

     

    That won't work for us . . . they are both silver, AKA - Bright Silver Metallic.

     

    Mine is "The Commander" and hers is "The Grand". Love them Jeeps.

  11. How are they to prove they found them? Photos? Some of your own finds do not included a photo, I'm not saying you did not find them, but with a challenge cache, there needs to be some verification. I have only logged one benchmark challenge cash, A Century Of Benchmarks. Check it out to see the requirements. Good luck on this, could you move it closer to North Carolina? :lol:
