Update: It has been hard to reproduce any results a 2nd or 3rd time. Yesterday I was able to download caches if I chose the "near a city" option, but not a point on a map or from the map itself. When those caches downloaded they did not contain descriptions or hints so I figured I would go through the registration process again later. This morning I was able to download caches, again without info, so I tried to re-register several times and have not been able to download anything on any of my attempts since losing that functionality.
I am currently trying to download caches near The Woodlands, Tx (N 30° 12.030' W 095° 32.591')
