If I provided a Radio Flyer Red Wagon could you tow me behind you? Ya know, while this creates a whimsical image, I'll bet it could be done! If you bring this little red wagon we could all ride in it!

Hey, I didn't get to go to that one. It would be a fun idea, if someone scrambled & put one together for this! Ohh.... I like that idea! I am unfamiliar with Port Townsend (I only spent about 2 hours there last fall on my way through finishing the WDC) but if someone (hint...TravisL ) would put together a route I would love to help out however I could now that I have organizing one Cache Machine under my belt! I am planning to spend the week before the campout in the area on vacation (attending the Gig Harbor Renaissance Festival the second weekend of August) and would be in the area. Let me send a message to the Campout committee and see what they think... Here is a link to the Fall 2005 Port Townsend/Port Angeles Cache Machine. If you didn't do that CM then all the work is done already, all you would have to do is sort through it and discard any found/archived/unavailable caches.

I too think 100,000 feet is a little low. Spokane has an elevation of around 2000' so anyone that has done more than about 50 caches in the Spokane area has already done 100,000 feet and that does not really seem to be in the spirit of this challange. I think maybe a cache should have some sort of a minimum elevation to qualify. Just my 2 cents.

me too, me too!

I found the program I used, it's still on my HD the program is called "transp-2a".

On my drive over to Spokane last week my GPS maxed out at 106 MPH. I had to make up for all the time we took stopping to find caches.

A few months ago I found a way to make Garmin's TOPO maps transparent so they showed up on my 60CSX at the same time as City Select. The method was posted here in the forum someplace but for the life of me I can't seem to find the topic any more. Anyone have any ideas?

That did the trick, thanks a million!

Anone know where to find the update on garmin's website. For some strange reason when I check for updates it shows that 6.12.2.0 is available but I'm not able to get the update to run. Thanks

I don't know, the last time it went to a WSGA meeting it disappeared for a year and a half

It's a feature on my Garmin, no need for a hack, of course that also means it's pretty easy for a thief to delete the information also.

How about Crazy Monkey Tripod on Squak Mtn.

Based on the directions from THIS web site a good guess would be N45.01.052 W109.52.217. This may not be the Trail Head but it is probably close enough to get you a list of the caches in the area.

Either way my home coordinates are N47 20.086 W122 18.110. Green house with the Land Rover and an Orange VDub in the driveway.

I'm in. Will be leaving Federal Way about 0630 and have room for 3 to 4 additional pair of snow shoes and thier owners.

I'm in this month, somebody has to bring up the rear.

You have to do that yourself on your profile page.

I've got a new grandbaby on the way (September) and plan on being in Pt. Townsend in early April. If you can hang on to the baby backpack until then I will take it, if not that's okay too.

My advice for driving in a cache machine is to watch the following: Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Run I, II, and parts of III (Three is also called Speed Zone!). It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, The second season of Dukes of Hazzard, and of course, All seasons of the Amazing Race on 3x speed on the VCR or DVD player. Some people may recommend Speed Racer, but after all, that's a cartoon and not real life. You forgot Death Race 2000

I've found that you don't get the over limit message if you right click on the link and do a "Save As".

I guess that means you won't be caching with Prying Pandora again.

I talked with one of the rangers at Dash Point last week and they were supposed to have a crew in to start removing the "dangerous" trees this past week end. Whether that happened or not I don't know. The ranger said the State only has three tree removal crews so I'm sure it's going to take some time before all of the parks are back up and operational.

I don't have the answer for you but people over here are having the opposite problem so there must be a way to change from feet to miles and miles to feet.

Please alllow me to reply here as a research scientist and as a former electrical and materials engineer. Your choice of container is excellent, for the following reasons: they are food containers, and thus will retain some food smells even after you empty and clean the container. This yummy smell will invite procupines, raccoons, possums and bears who will be willing to act as full-time guardians of your cache to guard it from muggles, priates, thieves and marauding space aliens. using my super-powerful scientific vision, I am able to see that although the containers you have pictured are indeed made of rolled cardboard, the cardboard container has been rendered entirely waterproof and watertight and also entirely resistant to microbial decay for at least 50 years by the special advanced compounds to be found in the bright red, orange and brown label material. The same treatment gives the cylindrical walls and the ends of the container the strength of a four inch thickness of a specialized SAE grade titanium vanadium stainless steel, and renders the container entirely watertight and waterproof at submersion to depths of 4,000 feet for over 400 years. Thus this container will be more durable and hardy than an ammo box. Although there have indeed been reports in the past that the plastic lids on containers of this type often do not seal well nor remain in place securely, using my special scientific knowledge and my special mechanical engineering software to analyze the pictures you have provided of these containers, I am able to determine with over 99.999982% accuracy that the lids on these containers are made of tri-layer bonded teflon and Kevlar fabric, with an outer layer of Gore-tex impregnated with titanium iridium shielding, and thus the lids on these containers which you propose will provide perfect service and an entirely watertight and reliable and robust seal for over eighty years. You have chosen your container type amazingly well for your environment, and you should be proud of yourself! I wish you the very best of caching experiences with your most excellent cache placements! WooHoo-- I'm going straight out to get one of those containers to replace my tin foil hat. With that kind of shielding they will never be able to scan what little bit of grey matter I have left.

I had thought about trying to make it to that event also, depending on if we gout back to the area in time and since it looks like I will be driving up to Mt Vernon by myself I don't have to worry about what any passanger want to do.
