There is a way to do it but I would have to kill you if I told you, or would I have to kill myself?????
cheers

There use to be one that you had to dive to in CO. It was in an ammo can with a waterproof slate and pencial.
cheers

You should have replaced it INSTANTLLY! Don't you carry a dozen differant cache containers and various supplies???????
You did right if you told CO. Not like it hasn't happenec before. Actually it is the CO's fault as they should have prevented from happening. Now they can be arrested for littering. Or did you just make that 1 diff cache a 5.

By GC rule sit is not legal.
I has been tried and died many a time. It is NOT an original idea. They have all been done before. LOL.

Right now I'm sitting at 99 caches found. In honor of number 100 I think I'm going to hid a mystery cache.
I order to make it a mystery cache I want to spell out the coordinates using words and then encode the coordinates with two or three simple codes.
I want it to be a higher difficulty rating +3 stars, would this be too hard?
QWhy don't you come up something orginal what you are saying has been done about 1000+ times. My second myster cache was one of the hardest in the are because it was orginaal. GL and THINK

I would say save your mone and just get a cheepr auto GPSr. The Nuvi 500 is a big time loser as far as a GPSr goes. I have ahd one for 2 weeks and it will be returned.
There are to many bugs to name and some of them can put u in DANGER, no it is not me.
I keep trying to give it a goo go but so much misdirection, changimg destinations just becuase you try to scroll the map. And the lack of off road functionality, the compas and distance are on two differant pages.
I guess the be all and end all is $500 for a GPSr that is so poorly done isnt worth it.

For those who have been waiting (I know I had), the Nuvi 500 Owners Manual is now available on the Garmin web site:
It was inaccurate any way so what was the purpose.
-
So has anyone used to nuvi 500 to find a cache?

This is a thread on Backpacker Mag regarding a cache placed in a Wilderness Area, against the guidelines I think.

It would have to have off road capability as not all geocaches are on a road. Most autorouting GPS will get you to the closest location to the cache, which in it's own is not really where you want to be. But you will have to be able to disconnect the GPSr from the car and then tell it to go to offroad to find the cache.
cheers
They say that no question is a "dumb" question... Well lets see if this question falls into that catagory?
I have a Garmin GPS unit for my car that is pretty much dummy proof. I plug in the address and a beautifully selected female voice tells me where to go. (maybe its my wife in the unit?) Can I use this unit to go geocaching? Or do I have to buy a new unit that allows me to plug in coordinances? C'mon, help a guy out here will ya? Signed... lost in a round room

You must lead a fairly sheltered life geocaching is relatively CHEAP sport. Let me say of the sports I have done:
Flyfishing
Mountaineering
Rock Climbing
Ice Climbing
Down Hill Skiing
Backcountry/Cross country Skiing
Scuba Diving
Cave Diving
Caving, is probable the cheapest sport I have done as you only need batteries/carbide and gas to and from the cave.
No geocaching is cheap by most comparision, there are many sports that require large fees, golf, skydiving etc... to particpate in.
Only gas prices have made geocaching a more, slightly, expnesive activity.
I think that Geocaching is possibly one of the most expensive sports to get into i think, next to paintball at least
- You need a GPS (at least a $100 one) plus if your serious you can spend up to $500
- Paper and ink or a palm pilot
- Lots and Lots of gas
- A car if you dont allready have one (I myself am hurrying up on buying one cause im tired of borrowing)
- Goodies
- Materials and things to create your own caches
-Etc Etc.
Im not complaining I gladly spend the money but would you agree that Geocaching is probably the most expensive sport to get into?
-
Simple answer is just DO NOT do them. People will find something to grip about just to do a topic. Hey what about micros ugh boy......

email me with what you might pay.

I don't think you should place the cache as you can not maintain it. If you can't do the cache then I don't think you should place it.
cheers

It is called CACHE DENSITY and alot of the high cache do little else. I know I cache with one.
cheers

Maybe a scratch on my leg. But basically my background makes me think before I act, rock climbing, cave diving etc..... So I guess I don't need a field dressing.

Instead of placing it so folks have to travel down a road that is marked PRIVATE PROPERTY place it at such that it is on a fence that is accessable from public land but adjacent to your fathers property so folks will not have to bascially trustpass on his property. I know you have premission but....

With the limit for the GC number fast approaching GCZZZZ and the limit of some GSPrs to six digits for the waypoint name what is Geocaching.com's plan for the GC number roll over. My GPSr will take eight characters for the waypoint name but a friend who has a Etrax Yellow GPSr will only take 6 digits for the waypoint. So does Geocaching.com have a prevision for this or will everyone who has a GPSr with only six digit waypoints have to buy a new GPSr and thus make Garmin a good stock option, LOL.

He is NOT asking to be made the owner. Just that someone creates a cache for the son's 11 bday.
