  1. I purchased the Geocaching app on my ipone 5. I now have a galaxy note 3. When i try to download the app it is wants me to pay again? I do I get the app without paying for it again?
  2. I just got certified for scuba and I was wondering if there are any caches out the in the deep blue yonder? If so, is there an underwater gps or how does one search for a geocache underwater?
  3. I have not added the app to my droid x but will post. Anyone w/ the droid x have issues w/ it freezing or navigating slow?
  4. I have a Garmin Extrex Vista-can I take and geocache in Europe? Specifically, London,Paris and Barcelona? Heading there this weekend.
  5. Hey Anybody out there know what's going on w/ those caches? I'm headed out there this weekend and both logs lists DNF's. I have some TB's to drop off! taliesinchica
  6. -This really sucks! Headed out on the tomorrow!! Please help us!
  7. Are they're caches on cruise ships? If so, how do you search for them?
  8. Does anyone know if there are any caches hidden in the park?
  9. I asked a series of simple questions on paper. Like: What 's your favorite to sport watch? play? If you had time to "try" in a new sport, what would you choose? why? Of the outdoor sports what do you like most? least? Have you heard of the sport of Kayaking, Orienteering Geocaching? etc. Then I put everybody together & enthusiastically talked about geocaching and orienteering. Happy Hunting
  10. Great question. I don't think it's a racist question, it a question But your ethnicity does have something to do with the sports you play. No geocaching, is not a "white" sport. There are sports where different ethnicities navigate to because of several reasons. Cost, access, environment, historical culture, genetics are just a few reasons. I posed this question to my family. I am an African American female who was raised in Houston, TX and my family has a similar background to that of the Huxtables on the Cosby show. I happen to enjoy or will try sports that have more of a caucasian draw, if you will. Snow & water skiing, tennis, kayaking, camping, geocaching, swimming, volleyball. I believe that is because I was exposed to other sports as a child and because of integration-I was usually the only black kid in the classroom or play group. So, I was exposed to other activities that I wouldn't have been because of access and culture. However, I also enjoy other sports that tend to draw other African -Americans. Many of my friends who have a similar up-bringing, think I'm crazy for going camping or spending a Saturday afternoon geocaching. Some are like cool! There are also my friends who grew up with a more blue-collar socioeconomic lifestyle. Some will try "other" activities and some won't. I polled my family and about 50 other people from church, all of whom are African American. All are from different socioeconomic levels of scociety, ages and most were raised in South. Here are the results: Age group: 50+, post-secondary education *Never heard of geocaching. Most would not be willing to give it a try. *Majority, do not like the out-of-doors. Some men ejoy fishing. Why? All had memories of having to help pick cotton as children or youth.-historical Age group: 30+, all education levels *Never heard of geocaching. Some would be willing to try. Concerned about the cost of a GPS & what other benefits would it provide to own one. *Some do not like the out-of-doors. Some do or would like to try a camping trip-all had been exposed to scouting. Age group: 20+, all socioeconomic levels *Never heard of geocahing. Some would be willing to try. *Some do like the out-of-doors, some don't. All have been exposed to scouting. Everybody mentioned the Heat! There are sometimes of the year that all Houstonians don't even think of going outside. hehehe 98 day w/ 98% humidity/92 night w/ 90% humidity. I think that there are some sports or activites that are labeled "white". When mentioning skiing, kayaking, etc. that's the response I received. Thus, those are activities are, taboo, if you will. Stooooopid I know. Again, historical culture. Acces & cost also has something to do w/ it. Unless you camp, why would you spend $100-200 for a GPS that you feel has a limited use. (cost/benefit) For that amount, your typical family can buy: basketball goal, basketballs, footballs. No special clothing is required. Look at the gear you need to camp, play tennis or golf, kayaking or canoeing. Plus the fees to public parks. Watersports: It's a hair thing! Sports like music, is something that WE label. So, all in all, no matter who's playing what sport, PLAY PLAY PLAY and have fun! Barbie PS-Trying to find some campers from or near Houston who would like to plan a fall camping trip to Palo Duro SP. I have a 14 yr old daughter. Let me know if your interested.
  11. Hi My GS Troop of Cadettes are going camping Feb.25th in Houston, TX. Our trainer from Tx Park and Wildlife had to cancel at the last minute. We need someone to teach our girls about orienteering or at least how to use a compass. We are willing to pay you for your time, expenses and materials. You can drive up to camp or camp w/ us.
