Are you sure that is not a BOMB?
This was a fun night cache!
This is my Southern Black Widow cache with reflective eyes for hunting at night. I made it and my kids painted it. This has started long list of artistic animal caches soon to be released.

Sure you got the right link. Looks like there are a good string of finds all fairly recently.
OH I AM SURE!

I travel for my job and I try to get a cache or two everywhere I go and having the ability to find the best of best with a few clicks on geocaching.com is a an awesome feature. I used the Favorites over the holidays to find some local caches (<50 miles) that I have overlooked. Also I believe it may improve the quality of geocaches placed as cachers are now rewarded by the community for placing good caches. Isn't it all about the numbers? The Favorites feature may be the best upgrade to the website I have seen in six plus years I have been involved in the activity. My only gripe is 10 caches for a feature point is too low maybe 50-75 caches for one feature point would have been better. KUDOS Groundspeak!

Here is a New Geotrail just launched in Spartanburg County, SC:
http://www.spartanburgparks.org/geocaching.htm
This Geotrail will take 6-8 hrs with some route planning and is alot of fun.
The York County, SC History geotrail has just a handful of coins left please call before attempting. We are considering ordering more so it will be active for GeoCoinfest 2011 in Rock Hill, SC

Pray this seemingly ever present rain/precip cycle changes before then. If not, an island in the middle of the Catawba might be ticklish.
I'm about the same distance the other side of Charlotte as you are on your side so I know..
Is there going to be some kind of transportation back and forth to the island for those non boat owners??
No boat needed there is road and bridge to the island. The camp has not been "washed away" yet and you will be amazed at what this place has to offer. We were pleasantly surprised during the planning meeting.

and is there a "simple" way to find that number on GC.com ?

Is that what you call a CACHE-ualty?
Hey I like that! I may use it when I put this cache back out.

Jacksonville Florida Geocachers!
We are organizing a caching and CITO day for the Beaches Service Unit (Girl Scouts). We are in need of help from other cachers in the area. Most of the girls do not have access to GPS receivers and I only have one.
It is scheduled in early November (with a rain-out date in late November) at a local park. We are expecting between 100 to 200 girls to attend. We are planting caches specifically for this event and staggering the groups as they head out of the base area. There will be tables where we will teach the girls the basics of using the receivers, about muggles, CITO and caring for the environment and the history of caching.
Volunteers are needed assist with the instruction of the troops and to bring receivers so the girls can experience the thrill of tracking down the cache. Some volunteers may be selected to go out with the troops as advisors if the troops run into difficulty finding the caches.
Please contact me at my email address on gmail: shadohart (phrased this way to foil the email skimmers) and let me know you will be able to help us. They are going to learn and it would be great if we taught them proper stealth and caching etiquette.
Thank you!!!!

I recommend posting this request on the NEFGA.com forum site as well.

Submitted for your consideration.
helped make one just like that. heated the spring until it was weak then welded it open just incase. it was well received but is archived because of constant problems with weed trimmers(long story).
OK, it's up and running. I picked up a Victor #3 double longspring trap and attached a mini ammo can to the pan. Check it out:
It got published a few days ago and it's already received a few visitors. Next time I'll remember to disable (heat treat) the springs before setting it out
The black disc seen in the photo was used to prop up the pan (I should have painted it) and the plastic bag just barely visible held the FTF coin as there wasn't the room needed to put it in the ammo can. The cache is called "Fortune Favors the Bold" and is dedicated to the geocoin by Fox and the Hound.

I will be in the Grand Rapids area in August and looking for some "Must-Do" caches. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Darn geocahers come snooping in my front yard I GOT SOMETHING FOR THEM: and I have had quite few victims check out the Trophey Gallery.
Seriously I told all of neighbors of my plans and if they objected or had a problem with it at any point I would remove it. Now my neighbors are starting to have some "fun" with the visitors and I am getting great feedback from the caching community including a nomination for best traditional cache in South Carolina. This cache has even give me the opportunity to meet several geocahers.

Does any one know of a hack on the Nuvi 7xx to allow a user to view CustomPOI's (Cache symbols) when zoomed out greater the 200 feet?
No. And if you ever find it, please let the rest of us know!
I am preparing a new feature for this, that will alert you on the screen when you xx meters/miles away from a cache, where xx is your defined value. Stay tuned.
I think I like the alert idea better!! Can't wait!

The file needs to be a bitmap (BMP file extension). Be sure to save as a 256 Color bitmap. The size should be 24x24 or smaller. I have found that 18x18 or smaller works best.....
Be sure you are zoomed in to 200 feet or closer......

Pilotsnipes I just spent about 30 minutes reading this thread and downloading the macro and PQ and had my job issued Nuvi 760 loaded up with 500+ of the closest caches to my house. Kudos to you for all your work. This macro blows the others I have used out of the water! I do have the luxary of caching with a 60csx and Nuvi 760 and I may just start leaving the 60CSX at home.
THANK YOU!

How do I set the 600 to go to the compass rose screen after selecting a geocache? Currently it go to the map screen.
