I have to admit that geocaching and my old suzuki cruiser make a great team. I love the gravel roads that I find to ride on (the bike doesn't but it does what i tell it to. ) I have found a lot of great roads and rides to share with my non GC friends. bwmick

just received an online survey from ontario parks about a recent stay in one of their facilities. took the opportunity provided at the end of the survey to question their geocaching policy, doubt it will mean much but maybe... bwmick

that is oneof the things I like about cachemate, I can do my logging of te caches ight on site or a little later at a rest stop. As for creative my logs rarely are but I do try to say something about my trip. bryan

As time goes by I find more and more reasons to like these programs GSAK Cachemate mapsource metroguide canada (only complaint is sometimes they call trails - roads which has on occasion gets me in trouble on the motorcycle. ) Bryan

i have noticed the same thing with my 9 month old unit. when i flash the backlight on and off and it seems to go away. anyone else?

I use the Garmin mount on both my mountain and motor bikes. the only problem i have had is that with serious vibration the gps seems to loose battery connection. the easy fix was add some foam cutouts between the battery cover plate and the batteries, hasn't happened since. bwmick

I am in the process of writing to my MLA to ask her to go caching with me. I think that this may be a way to let our representatives see what we mean by geo caching. all the letters in the world will let them know that there are people who do it and enjoy it. taking them out to experience it will teach them what it is really about. In that vein, have we offered to take any of the park authority out for a test run? bwmick

Okay, I admit it I am a question guy, I ask lots of questions in hopes that someone will come to the same conclusion about a topic that I already have. so here are my questions. Who is in charge of the MNR's park program (not the minister the beaurocrat in charge)? Would Geocaching not be something that should be looked at within the framework that was set up several years ago to allow forestry and mining inside parks (talk about your environmental nightmares)? what are the reasons that are being given, and at what level are they being given(middle management or director level)? Are their arguments valid. or do we know what their arguments are? thanks for letting me get all my questions out now. the people at work can breath a litttle easier. Bwmick

forgive me if i am repeating already posted questions but I just became aware it was an issue and was curious... In order to geocache inside a provincial park I have to pay a 10 dollar fee (that is per vehicle so when my friend and I go out on Motorcycle we pay 20 dollars) If we were not out geocaching we would likely not enter the park. fiscally, how is this a bad thing. Also the whole CITO thing. geocachers seem to me to be people with outdoor appetites and environmental bent. how is inviting them into the park were they might do something like clean up some trash, report trail conditions, and encourage the use of OUR parks be a bad thing? bwmick
