Anyone aware of any good websites that allow the user to view medium/high resolution landsat images for free?
One site http://www.spaceimaging.com , used to allow one to search by zipcode and view old maps (dated from 1995) in detail with 1km resolution. This used to be free with the intent the user would purchase more up-to-date images. This seems to have changed recently though... so, now the search is on for other comparable websites.
What I found useful about this site was viewing state parks (which would not change much if at all from the time the satellite scan was done).
Any direction to other websites would be very much appreciated!

Quantity and Quality do not compare... that I know.
Why I polled this question was to guage just what was the maximum number of waypoints were out there. Personally, for me (in my area) it's been no more than 3. Maybe there is one out there that exceeds 3, but I have not run across that one yet. I'm planning on hiding another multi-waypoint cache and wanted to know what the "common" maximum was out there. From my poll, I can see it exceeds 5... that I cannot believe!!! There are references that someone who located 14+ waypoints for a cache..., that's great! I'd do it... but I would think many others would deem it too much and not even set out to find the cache. This is great hearing different viewpoints on this... Maybe I should also poll "How many waypoints is too much?".

What was the maximum number of waypoints you've encountered during a (multi-waypoint) cache?
Including final waypoint location

Ammo boxes for sure! I recently visited a cache in Florida (Mantazas cache, Ft. Myers) which survived a 3+ foot storm surge without a drop of water inside! If a box can withstand the hydrostatic pressure of 3+ feet of water, then I would imagine it could handle just about anything else...
Lately though, I've had a tough time locating places north of Boston that carry Ammo boxes. The last time I found some were at the Fryeburg fair back in October. If anyone knows of any particular places (army-navy stores) that stock ammo boxes, let me know!

Thought I'd throw this one out there...
Are cache owners included in this statement?
I am assuming that "cache owners" are synonymous with "website authors"...
Is this a fair assumption?, or should I consider adding an additional disclaimer to each of my cache pages. I'm not a lawyer, just was wondering what everyone's thoughts were whether this needs to be defined as cache-owners and not "website authors".

Email notification not functioning
in General geocaching topics
Posted
Lately, when caches have been found on my "watch-list" I have not been receiving email notification. I am still receiving the weekly letter and direct email's from other geocachers, but no notifications when caches on my "watch-list" are found. I've checked my profile, all is good.
Has anyone else out there experienced this lately?
