  1. During the initial "slow rollout" of Waymarking, only Premium Members have access to the new section of the forums, called "Getting Started With Waymarking." It's visible to them at the very bottom of the forum index, after the international forums. Later on, there will be forum access for all users to discuss Waymarking.

    i see, Thanks! :)

  2. You have inspired me

    I to was at walmart but the things i bought to mod the jeep dident fit im going back to return them

    and get new stuff

    I was thinking Spinner rims

    and the 2 holes right under the seats i was going to dril and put in blue leds so it had a under glow look

    and i was going to give it a costime decal job

    I think that you should leave the jeep owned TB's alone. You don't own them, I'd be upset if someone changed my TB without asking.

     

    Go buy a TB tag and a jeep from wallyworld if you feel the need to mod a bug. ;)

  3. While we're all venting... ;) ... I have an issue with the use of the acronym "WTF". :huh: I happen to know what the "F" stands for. Really. I looked it up.

     

    :(

    I always thought it stood for 'What The Fetch' GOSH! (or possibly Flip)

     

    we need a smilie with an glasses and an afro!

  4. are we talking terrain? cuz we usually make it alot harder than it needs to be. We've successfully morphed a 3 star into a 5 star on several occasions(and climbed a few mountains that weren't neccesary).

     

    However I'm inclined to side with the people who say it doesn't mater what rating if it's a good find. I prefer high terrain ratings over difficulty(i.e. puzzles).

  5. ive busted people doing that as well.. Guys need to learn not to just whip it out anywere go behing the tree not infront of it geeze manners nobody wants to see it

    yesterday I was sitting at the kitchen table and the little neighbor boy dropped trou and started to pee in the shrubs! I couldn't believe it. :lol:

  6. I have seen conflicting advice about what to do if a bear is charging you. Some "experts" say to curl up, protect your head, and play dead. Other "experts" say to act like some crazed fool and wave your arms, throw rocks and sticks and shout. Wouldn't want to try either!

    I would say no on the noise and the sticks/rocks, but I guess it depends.... read my post.

    Travel in groups, make some noise, don't approach bears you see from a distance and you should enjoy the outdoors with no "encounters".

    I would reccomend this! <_<

  7. A few years back we took a trip up thru Yellowstone and up to Glacier natl. park(yes we did a few caches). While we were in Yellowstone, we took a quick hike to Osprey falls, It was nice hike and on the way we spotted a small bear, we wondered if it was a cub and we had an extra sharp eye out for mom. Once we arrived at the falls, we talked with some other hikers that were there and told them to watch out for the bear.

     

    We spent some time at the falls and started to head back to the trailhead, well smack in the middle of the trail was this bear and about 10 feet away were the other hikers, taking pictures and generally being ignorant. Once they decided they needed the bear off of the trail to move on, they started THROWING ROCKS!! We were stopped further back on the trail waiting, watching.

     

    We did some major bushwacking up the hill to the next switchback of the trail, left those people to their own fate.

     

    Once we were established in Glacier for a day, we decided to do some hikes. We hiked several trails, spying several grizzlies in the distance. The last trail of the day was called 'Red Rock Lake'(I think), we started out with the sun low in the sky. We hiked fast as to make it back before sundown, we reached the lake clicked a few pics, and started our way back.

     

    The bugs were out in force, there were sevral spots where we ducked our heads and ran. As we were hiking, all of us were exhausted and walking silently from a full day of hiking. I had an inkling and started to try and talk or sing with the others, with failed attempts. We rounded a bend in the trail and there sat a HUGE Grizz(it seemed huge at the time) on the trail. We all stopped and quietly decided on a course of action.

     

    We all agreed it would be best to slowly back away. As we did so, the bear slowly lost interest and moved from the trail. Someone remembered that making loud noise was supposed to scare animals away. We started to shout and clap, and this regained the bears interest, he came back to the trail and swatted a big paw across the trail. Needless to say we shut up pretty quickly! Slowly the bear left the trail and as we deemed it safe enough to pass, we resumed our hike at a much faster pace, and we all changed our pants at the car!

  8. Does it make a difference if it's set on 'max speed' vs. 'actual speed'?

    I mean doesn't the etrex record how fast you've gone overall? so maybe you went that fast on the way, not actually in the kayak, or if it was bought from someone maybe they went that fast, try a reset.

     

    Maybe I'm wrong, I don't mess with that part of things very often....

  9. So what should happen to a TB once it meets it's goal? I took a couple of pictures and uploaded them. I also sent the owner an email to see what he would like to happen to it (no response).

     

    Should I send it on it's way with a new goal (to go back home)? And just make sure I put updated information in for it...

     

    So what's the story?

     

    Thanks,

    - Josh.

    i think you should wait for the owner to respond, give him/her some time, they may be on vacation or out of town, so it might be a while before they respond. keep trying.

     

    I don't think you should just go around putting new goals on other people's TB's tho. I don't even think you could change the TB page if you're not the owner, could you?

     

    The owner might want to place another goal while the TB is out, instead of traveling back home, he might want to go somewhere new.

  10. When they say "trick your wjtb" im sure they didn't mean rip it apart and add stuff to it, more likely add stickers or something like that. Be kind to your WjTB! :wacko:

     

    Most of these custonized jeep are jacked up by grown Adults, thats what is crazy:P

    this 'trick your jeep' theme is most likely in the last contest for a reason, i'm sure they don't expect them back, most people don't move them anyway.....

    but I wouldn't be suprised if people did rip 'em down and do some crazy stuff to them, but if I was to mod one, I would definately wait till the rules of the last contest come out. I don't want to be blamed for someone elses losing cuz they found an ugly jeep to take photos of.

    my advice: leave them 'au natural' till the contest says it's okay.

  11. Rocky Road was rude to me.  I demand an apology. :)

    LOL :lol:

     

    I accept your apology on behalf of RockyRoad

    You guys are faster than me, I planned something evil like this! Appologies not accepted, I say we ban micro's and Jeremy :laughing:

    that doesn't change the fact that rocky road is a rude, spoiled little child, and there's no excuse for the rudeness of those marshmallows or those little nuts!

  12. How about banning all people who express "hate" against any sort of cache, content, or caching related activity that is within the netiquette? These people really need to grow up and replace their "if I don't like it, I call 911" attitude with something the rest of us take for granted - tolerance.

     

    Jan

    that sure doesn't come across as being 'tolerant' :laughing:

    "Hate" is intolerable ... period.

     

    Jan

    I just meant banning somebody for the use of a word 'hate' as it stands, does not come across as being tolerant. If we were truly tolerant, we would allow others to have and voice their opinions, smile and nod, and go caching tomorrow just the same. I agree there are some times that this needs a proactive solution, but not for disliking a certain type of cache, how trivial does that seem?

     

    anyway.... Pralines and Cream!!! MMMMM :laughing:

     

    carry on....
