  1. My question is, are such trackables allowed in Groundspeak's geocaches, are they welcome?
    It's worth noting that they are not "Groundspeak's geocaches". Groundspeak just provides a listing service that geocache owners can use to publicize their geocaches. There are other listing services, and some caches are listed with more than one listing service.

    Great. I was affraid they might be considered as intruders and unwelcome. Now I will not hesitate to mix different brands of trackables with different brands of caches :wub: Thanks.

     

    I took a look at that website. I wonder if anyone in the US is using those?

  2. I post a DNF for anything I go out and look for. With that being said I don't like the whole middle of a big crowd trying to look and not be seen or looking suspious. If I get to the parking area and the direction the GPS'r is pointing has people around it. I don't even get out of the vehicle to look I just move on to the next cache. In that case I don't post a DNF. If I don't look then out can I not find. If they come up with a DNL log then I would be happy to use it.

  3. Wasn't there a thing on nightline a while ago about people at photo labs couldn't turn that kind of stuff over because of privacy? I remember seeing it somewhere and they showed pics of kids sitting in piles of drugs and stuff like that, but there was nothing they could do about it.

     

    I would have probably posted a note on the cache page or if someone had found it just before me maybe send them a e-mail.

  4. How are you creating your POI's? I use GSAK there is an option in there to export caches as POI's then copy them from your PC to your Tomtom via its USB cable.

     

    Currently I am not creating my POI's with anything. I have no idea how to do it. Yes I am blonde!!! Off to GSAK I guess and see if I get anywhere.

  5. I'd like some free geocoins and ammo cans if anyone has them. Maybe a few grand for my Corvette fund would be very nice as well. :laughing:

     

    OOOOooooOOOooo I'd like some of that action! Only I don't need money for something as impractical as a Vette. I just need a few houndred-thou to pay for my NEW house and pay off my old cars. Oh and to pay for the old house that I can't seem to give away even though I put 30K+ into improving it. :ph34r:

     

    Seriously though. I'll trade my sig smashed coins (12 different designes) for pathtags at ANY opportunity so shoot me an email if you want to trade.

    Where did you get these from?

  6. This is a little off topic but since the mention of pathtags came up I was wondering. I do not have a pathtag of my own, but if I find one in a cache is it okay to trade swag for a pathtag or should it only be pathtag for pathtag?

  7. Just curious as to why you would put a toy car in a cache that is not suppose to be kid friendly. Also what happens when it gets taken now your out everything. My son always feels the need to trade something. One time he took garbage out of the cache and left something nice. To him it was garbage (a empty sugar packet) to someone else it may have been worth more that what he left.

    Hey, I collect those...there are so many varieties, and they have all those cool codes printed on them...If you know how to read them, you can tell when and where the sugar was packeted, and on some brands, even where the cane was from(by plantation)

     

    Let me know where you cache and if I'm ever in the area I'll drop it in one for you.

  9. I just bought a Vista. Took a long time to decide between the Vista and the Legend. If I could have got that deal it would have made it a lot easier. Hope you enjoy the Legend as much as I am my new Vista. Difference as night and day from my old GPS which was one of the original yellow e-trex.

  10. I tried using the search facility - but the main keyword (i.e. "PDA") has fewer than five characters and so the system rejected my search...

     

    I'm new to geocaching and haven't yet got a suitable GPS. However, I have a Fujitsu Siemens Loox N520 PDA with a SiRFstar GPS antenna built in. Currently, I'm using this with satellite navigation software that doesn't permit entering lat/long co-ordinates but I suspect with the right software (e.g. Memory Map, or perhaps something a lot simpler from the freeware/shareware sector) my PDA might be usable and so I'd be grateful for comments.

     

    TIA,

    Try putting paperless caching in your search. You might get the results your looking for there. I use a PDA, but not the one you have and not for the same purpose.

  11. I never personally trade anything. My son on the other had always feels the need to trade something. We never find anything of any value in a cache. The other day he traded a squirt gun for an empty sugar packet. He felt good cause he traded something. I felt good because we took the trash out of the cache.
