I am looking for about 5 basic GPS units? Does anyone know where I can get a really good price? Pan "The internet to tell me where. A GPS to get me there."

Has anyone seen the commercial for the movie "Wrong Turn?" (It has Billy from Six Feet Under in a lead role.) Anyway, in the opening of the trailer it shows a guy and a girl walking on what looks to be a dirt road, or path, and the girl says something like "Are you getting anything, Chad?" And the guy she's walking with is looking down at a device in his hand. Now, I guess its more likely that he's looking at his cell phone, and its more likely that the "anything" the girl is referring to is reception for the cell phone, but the guy is holding the device down at waist level, face up, just like I hold mine when I'm waiting for a signal. My cell phone, I think I hold head level... faced towards my face. I might be thinking about this too much. But, I mean, their supposed to be lost in the woods, hunted by inbred psychos, so it WOULD be a bad time not to get a signal lock. Pan "The internet to tell me where. A GPS to get me there."

quote:Hopefully no one gets hurt because of the inaction to try to correct this flaw. I'm curious. Do you mean "hurt," as in, "I wish someone hadn't done that to my cache, I'm quite hurt," or "hurt," as in, "Please stop hitting me with that aluminum baseball bat, I wasn't 'stealing' your swag,"?

Sorry to stay off topic, but wow. Cache maintenance must be a b*tch. Pan "The internet to tell me where. A GPS to get me there."

Well, I think Fatboy should go steal a cache so we can see this. I think the cache owner would understand. Pan "The internet to tell me where. A GPS to get me there."

Was Ashley with you? Pan "The internet to tell me where. A GPS to get me there."

I have to admit, this does look very similar. Why do those who think its not the same person... think its not the same person. Pan "The internet to tell me where. A GPS to get me there."

I think the team should do it however they want. If the team wants the account only to reflect finds that the whole team was present for, do it that way. If the team wants the account to reflect any cache anyone on the team has ever found, do it that way. I don't think its for others to dictate how you or your team log your finds. Pan "The internet to tell me where. A GPS to get me there."

I wonder what's worse, "stealing" cache contents, or threatening someone with physical harm for no good reason...

Has there been a recent update on the new mapping system? I'm not trying to be jumpy, or pushy, but gosh darn it I can't wait until that thing is released. Updates anyone? Release dates? Thanks Pan "The internet to tell me where. A GPS to get me there."

quote:Simply, at the height of the mob's ire, it seemed (to me) as if people were passing judgment on this person without having all the facts. I could be wrong, I admit, but that was the sense that I got of it all. I don't think you were wrong, FroBro. In fact, I think you've hit that proverbial nail on the head. quote:I still think it was a bit harsh with personal, physical threats and all. Here, here. Pan The internet to tell me where.

Well said FroBro. I agree with all that you've pontificated upon. Pan The internet to tell me where. A GPS to get me there.

Somewhere above Jeremy talks about banning the account if he doesn't get a response from him. At any rate, I don't think he demonstrated that he even knows we're discussing him.

Now I don't want to start a debate, or hurt your feelings or anything of the sort, because it's just my opinion. But you really sound like a longwinded blowhard. Again, No offense intended. Don't worry Blackfoot, my feelings don't get hurt, and I'm not offended, by uninformed knee-jerk postings. Remember, life's too short to sweat the small things. Pan The internet to tell me where.

quote:Originally posted by Jolly B Good:Oh and my two cents on the situation... I'm not sure if it's stealing or not. But it is annoying. If I place a cache and spend ten to twenty bucks filling it with items from the dollar store so folks have something nice to seek out and THEN some guy comes along and takes EVERYTHING and leaves an EMPTY box?? C'mon. Regardless of your opinion you have to agree that's simply against the spirit of the sport. I agree. Unequivocally. Pan The internet to tell me where. A GPS to get me there.

Jomarac5, it's okay. Team Saxaphone is safe. They/he/she didn't actually call me an idiot. They/he/she just said if I couldn't see their "simple point" I would be considered an idiot. And I agree totally with his point. Fortunately, my points were all about IF Pirate HAD replaced items with other items, not about whatever he was actually doing (which seems, to this point, to just taking everything). Ironically, if Team Saxaphone can't see THAT point, they/he/she must be an idiot. Pan The internet to tell me where. A GPS to get me there.

Here's the thread I was taking about. I felt bad, so I went to find it. Plus, I'm in Massachusetts. Unusual Cache Pictures Pan The internet to tell me where. A GPS to get me there.

I think there was a thread around here a while back talking about "unusual cache containers." Maybe you can find it and make, buy, find, invent one of those? Pan The internet to tell me where. A GPS to get me there.

quote:But they didn't do this. They took the contents of eight different caches, and kept it all. If this was supposedly a game, how long were they going to wait before replacing the items? Until they had cleaned out 100 caches? I agree 1000% I think it is contrary to the game to "plunder" caches repeatedly, keeping all the goods. The post you quoted me making was supplying more facts, as I understood them, which hadn't been previously supplied. quote:Sorry but I think it's a case of "The only fun some people get out of a game is ruining it for everyone else." Certainly don't be "sorry," you may be right. I welcome your opinion. I myself prefer not to jump to conclusions, and I prefer not to ban, berate and/or threaten physical harm on someone without knowing all the facts (which is why I supplied that post in the first place).
