  1. 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.

    cheers

  2. 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

    cheers

  3. 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.

     

    Cheers

  4. 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 :blink:

  5. 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?

    or make a resonable offer.

  7. 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....

    cheers

  9. 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.

    Cheers

  10. zippos

    DVDs that includes (but not limited to) ratings of PG13 & up

    Cigar or pipe

    knifes

    scratch off lotto

    Why international currency??? My son, 7, has a 1,000,000 Turkish bill he thinks is really cool. All the rest are not just for child safety but have verious other reason.

    cheers
