  1. (CNN) -- Accused mailbox bomber Lucas Helder told authorities he was planting pipe bombs in a pattern to show a happy face during his five-state weekend spree. The rest of the story is at: http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/05/09/mailbox.pipebombs/index.html The creepy thing is, this occurred to me as an idea for a multicache once (the smiley face, not the bombings). Worcester, Mass is supposedly the home of the smiley face , from the 60's or something... The multicache would be at least 7 stages, I guess. I was undecided on whether to keep the last spot (ie, the left eye) a mystery and have people try to calculate where it would be. Are there any other multicaches out there that make the searchers trace out a big shape? Nick BT5

  3. This will be nice and useful... Kudos to you for producing it. Some small nitpicks, however: aren't there more than 24 satellites? I don't have my GPS handy but I think it goes up to 30 or 32. And, sadly, I don't think you can say "most" geocachers practice cache in / trash out -- maybe you can get away with "many". Finally, you refer to "trinkets" when I believe the agreed upon term is "booty nuggets". Nick BT5

  5. Absolutely! I started geocaching in November -- it's been five months of cold and darkness. Now I'm looking forward to hitting a lot of the new caches that have cropped up -- before the bugs and vegetation grow too thick... Nick BT5
