Oh, who CARES? If someone wants to cheat at solitaire, let them. Their only fooling themselves. Doesn't bother me in the least what someone else's "score" is, or how they achieved it. This is not a competition... its recreation. Relax.
I agree

One a month.
No, not "once a month." ONE a month. At this blistering pace, I will still run out of caches before I leave this place.
Unless, of course, someone besides me gets busy and places more caches. I may get lucky enough to average two a month.
Hang in there, take care, and have a grand time caching when you get home.

Work + work training on off days + Boy Scouts + Girl Scouts + Aux. Trooper for Florida Highway Patrol= Not as often as I would like.....

I work a 24/48 schedule with the Fire Dept. On duty for 24 hours then off for 48.. So basically everday I go to work is like Friday, after work I have two days off to cache.

Does it really matter?

If you decide to try to retrieve your cache at night DO NOT use a flashlight. The bees are attracted to the light. My Dad is a retired commericial bee keeper and I used to help him with the bees as a part time job. We moved them at night because most of the bees were in the hives then, and usually not very active. When we did use a flashlight it was very sparingly.

What's this silly compulsion toward keeping sick or injured people alive? I don't get it. It's unnatural.
Oh, I see. You expect to be rewarded.
Addendum: Count me out. If I'm unconscious and dying, let me go, I'm ready. Please, don't presume everyone wants to be 'saved', just because they're unconscious.
So one can assume you would want the same thing for a family member of close friend? If you found your spouse, child, parent, or who ever unconscious ,or seriously injured your response will be to just let them die? What if was an easy fix like a diabetic that just needed an IV with an amp of D50 to bring them around? The heck with it don't bother? If it is a terminal illness I could understand, but the proper documentation has to be there.

The one time I did that I used the Google Earth KLM, (or is it KML) files. I just found the road that has a whole series on it and copied them from there.

I used a 1.5" wood bit to make an opening for a 35mm film cannister.....

I know this may be an unpopular opinion, esp. here on these boards, but....
Why anyone would actively associate with an organization which OPENLY discriminates againsts gays is something I just can't understand. Would you assocaite with them if they didn't, say, allow blacks into their organization? Sorry, but hate and discrimination (and jingoism, for that matter) aren't things I want to teach my children.
Best,
Mr. Wisearse.
I was never in scouts as a teenager, But my son is almost an Eagle Scout. I am the troop Committe Chairman. At troop meetings we don't sit around and gay bash, or teach hate. We work on merit badges and try to teach leadership. There are so may boys out there with out a male figure in their life. I think scouting does make a diffrence. You have your opinion and I have mine. To each their own.

Whenever I get the time to go caching.

Seen an Air Force recruitment commercial of some kids snow boarding that get off the trail. One pulls out a GPSr and says "This way" and leads them out. Then cuts to a bomber pilot, who is supposed to be the same kid later on, navigating to a bomb site. Then it goes on about having the right stuff....

Rock on!!!

Have to agree with ya.

Lieutenant for Polk County Fire Dept. (Florida). Also on the Special Operations Team, which deals with technical rescues (high angle, confined space, trench, vehicle/machine, & building collaspe) and hazardous materials emergencies.
-
Some parks/recreational areas mandate that the trails be used and do not allow bushwacking. They prefer that users follow the Leave no Trace program. If everybody just went off on thier own it wouldn't be long before there would be trails where they didn't want them, especially in sensitive areas.

I'm going to assume you are talking about the Magellan Explorist 200. They now make the Explorist 210 which has the ability to connect to a PC. I have a 200 and like it. Bewteen work, scouts, and everything else I don't get to go caching as much as I would like, so entering the waypoints manually to me isn't a big deal. If you plan on doing a lot of caching I would go with the 210 that can be connected to a PC to download waypoints.
-
The only thing I have to add..... If you recieve more than three to four DNFs in a row go check the cache to make sure it is still there, and hasn't been moved or muggled.
-
My sixteen year old son used to like to go caching. Lately though he has been backing off some. I guess he is geting is own interests, (not to mention he now has a girlfriend). My twelve, soon to be thirteen, year old daughter likes to go once in a while.

Nothing to both.. TNLNSL is my motto

My son and I don't trade, we stick with TNLNSL. This hobby is more about spending time together and having fun to us.
Game Or Journal?
in General geocaching topics
Posted · Edited by Lt32
I read GQ's post and reread it and have come to the conclusion that I agree with GQ about it being a journal. But please let's not start the sport/game/hobby topic again.
