    Wow! Just came here today in more than a week or two. What a pleasant surprise. Thank you everyone and to Trowel32 you have a sharp eye. Here we thought we kept a low profile. :laughing: The Riddle of the Lorax was our 100th cache.

    Programmable speed limit alerts; program your max speed and the display is blank until you exceed it and then there is a discreet visual alert and form of the FA-18's "Bit*'n Betty" that says "excessive speed."  Combine this with autorouting that is already out; display is blank until there is something upcoming and important to show.  Integrated weather alerts for inclement weather and so on.  Bluetooth communications to a grip-mounted control pad.

     

    Point is, make it smart and user programmable--not just a redundant piece of gear--and then it would be interesting.  Very interesting.

     

    When can I find this on your website? I want one. :rolleyes: Excellent ideas!

    Nj Geocoin Naming Idea

    in Northeast

    Posted

    I haven't gotten my NJ coins yet!  :ph34r:

     

    I'll have to think of some NJ names to honor...how about the Boss or Bon Jovi? Former Gov McGreevey?  :lol:

     

    Hehe... just being silly.  However, as a NJ transplant, my prominent NJ citizen knowledge is more than deficient.  I'll check back on this thread for suggestions.

     

    I think the NJ TP reststops are named after famous New Jersans....hmm...maybe I could use rest stop "Walt Whitman" or "Clara Barton"!  I did a virtual cache in Edison about Thomas Edison...guess he would fit this theme too.

    I understand they will be mailed but probably after this event. I'm just assuming so anyone know for sure?

    I've seen this in a couple logs lately. What does "borderline illegal" mean? I'm not looking for particlulars of any cache just trying to figure out what the term would mean. The edge of private property or national park? Too close to an airport??

    I believe I've tried to register at NNJC 3 times. I do get the screen that says a confirmation email will be sent. I never get the email so once 24 hours passes I can try again. Not sure what I could be doing wrong. Yes it's the right email and yes I've doublechecked the random number to be typed in. Any ideas? I've been known to totally mess up in the past.  :D

    Same thing happened to me. Guess they don't want us :P

     

    I forgot to respond to this. Yep somehow Verizon doesn't want me to get mail from nnjc.org. Used my hotmail account and all is well. Not sure why they are treating it as spam.

    I created a Monster. Started talking about Geocaching. Decided we needed something better than the old Magellan that's as big as an original cellphone. Now every Sat and Sunday she wants to know where are we going? What caches are we doing? Do we have the bug spray and gatorade? Had some time during the day yesterday so she sent me caching to get a WJTB! We're sitting at home at night working on puzzle caches. It's taken 22 yrs to find something we both have a passion for.

    Not sure how it would get scratched. Maybe it's residual glue? I've had some luck with using a sticky tape and pulling off quickly. There are also plastic polishes available at auto parts store. The underlying problem is LCD screens are fragile. Whatever you do you will have to consider the risk of permanent damage. Mike

    Ban it all!  Let's just set at home, with mittens on our hands. :D

    This is what I was thinking after reading some of the posts. Some seem to feel humans don't have any right to enjoy our natural resources. I only wish I could kill the weeds in my lawn by walking on them. It never seems to work. :P

     

    Quite frankly I'm more concerned about our overuse of asphalt than making a small trail that will overgrow after a short time.

     

    Some of you must be really angry with Mt. St. Helens. Stuff happens. The Earth adapts better than we can fathom.

     

    Wait, I have it. Jetpacks for all cachers. No more trails to follow. :P

    Beware, Of Being Robbed

    I learned this lesson myself. If there is nothing of value in sight most likely the thieves will pass by.

     

    My wife and I were visiting DC many yrs ago. We took all our bags out of the car leaving behind my suit and her woman's suit along with our dress shoes. My stupid thought was thieves won't break-in for clothing. WRONG!!! They punched a hole in the side of the door and moved the linkage to the lock. We came out in the morning and it was just beyond me why the door was open. 4 hrs later the DC cops showed up and we cut our visit short and drove back to NJ. :)

    I've only been at this a short time but here in NJ I haven't seen a cache that doesn't have PI nearby. I've never had the rash even though I know I've been in it but read the next paragraph.

     

    I saw my neighbor ripping out PI in her yard and cautioned her to at least wear gloves. She said the same thing I said "I've never had it." The following week she was scheduled for surgery. Guess what she's laying in a hospital bed covered with PI rash. My point is our bodies change as we get older and just stop tolerating what we used to do when younger. Don't assume you won't get it. I always shower well after being out hiking or caching. So far so good but don't bet the farm.
