Geocachingedmonton.com is back up and running...I assume the Calgary Area Cachers forum will be too.

...and while you're in Edmonton for the race, make sure you take some time to do some caching -- heck, there's even a virtual right at the race track/airport :-) Something on a Stick 'YXD' Brat http://geocachingedmonton.com

Heh...Join us at the end of the month here: Cache Around The Fire

Woah, that's too bad and disappointing. Considering the positives that appear to have been overlooked (social, family activity..etc) it sounds like it was a bit onsided...but, I have to actually hear the item before I'll stick to these comments...freaking firewall...grumble.. Brad http://geocachingedmonton.com

So, did anybody hear it? I'm at work behind a firewall and can't play stream the RealAudio format... Anyone want to post a summary? Brad http://geocachingedmonton.com

Monthly get-together of Edmonton and area GeoCachers. Tuesday, May 10th 7pm Boston Pizza 10620 Jasper Ave Edmonton, AB T5A 0A3 780-423-2333 Map/Directions Or Google Map Brad GeoCachingEdmonton.com

Yeah, Group GeoCaching is a great way to go...especially if you're introducing some newbies into the game. We had an evening get-together at a local pizza joint a week or so ago and we were blessed by one of our group proudly showing off Calgary GeoCoins....very nice items!

Hey all, just a brief announcement about the new Edmonton GeoCaching website - http://www.GeoCachingEdmonton.com - designed to support the social and geocaching needs of Edmonton Area Cachers. The site sports a snazzy mambo-based content management system designed to encourage community involvment, as well as a PHPBB message forums to encourage community discussion. Drop by, check us out...and let us know what you think! Brad

Wow...that is cool! What's with the funky blue 'shadow' that's preceeding that object? Brad GeoCachingEdmonton.com

Nice Blog! We started one too - (brat&testy's GeoCaching Blog) and it's been fun to maintain, and is a source of information we can direct potential/newbie cachers to.

No worries...after I replied to this post I went and read a copy of Today's Cacher, and I saw an article on this cache...what a cool idea! Have fun! Brat http://bratandtesty.blogspot.com

Heh...if GPSVixen can't do it (highly unlikely, I'm sure ;-) I can do it...I work across the street from -41 Windchill and walk through the aforementioned intersection twice a day :-D brat http://bratandtesty.blogspot.com

Hmm, I haven't looked at the Goetoad files for a while so something might have changed. Could you please email me one of these files so I can interrogate. Thx. Hi Clyde, Done...should be in yer inbox. Thanks for looking into this! Brad http://bratandtesty.blogspot.com

Hey all, Clyde..great program! I used it for a while, and finally registered recently as we got more involved with caching in our region. I have an interesting situation here...I use GeoToad to grab caches in my region nightly. GeoToad produces a .gpx file. I import these into GSAK, but some elements of data don't appear to import. When I (lightly) compare the .gpx output file vs the sample.gpx file included in the gsak package, the files *look* similar, but certain data (container, last found, last log..etc) don't import - even though they appear to be properly wrapped with the appropriate xml tag. Any thoughts? I can provide you with my output files if need be. Again, awesome program! Thanks! PS - Apologies to all if this was discussed before, I searched for a few hours and couldn't find anything - a direct to the appropriate thread would be appreciated.

Yeah, the Google Map coverage is somewhat uneven in Canada. Kelowna has streetlevel mapping whilst Edmonton does not. It is a very cool service though...hopefully the detail will improve. Brad http://bratandtesty.blogspot.com

Nice, did one for Edmonton, but stripped out the Table tags as I have a nice CSS I use on our GCblog - that code works well! Thanks Brad http://bratandtesty.blogspot.com
