    Geocache Teams

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    Team LPD consists of me, my wife and our GSD Nikki.

     

    Some finds have been done soley by me, others have been with my wife. The vast majority of the finds have been with Nikki and I because of the terrain/difficulty factor.

    Distances For Multi Cache

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    No set distances (+/-) but, if you are doing a multi, please list the total distance required to find the cache. I don't mind multi's, but I would like to know how far I'll be walking, what kind of time required, etc when doing a multi. Nothing worse that getting part way into a multi and finding you have to walk another "X" more miles when you are already "X" miles from the beginning.

    Wilkes-barre/hazleton

    Mt Dave :

    It's between Mountain Lake{Meadow Run] and Thornhurst.

    Has picnic tables, shelters, and rest rooms

    Choke creek Multi, and Rat Fink caches are nearby.

    and a few others .

     

    Its a nice area, although I haven't physically been in the park in a few years. Should be easy enough for everyone to find.

     

    Of course there is always Rickets Glen or the Lake Jean area off Rt 118.

    Well, I guess the only way to make it happen, is to just do it. Make sure you are set up to recieve event caches. I'll go out and do some research tomorrow about a place where a meeting can be held. I'm going to shoot for something between Hazleton and Wilkes Barre, probably closer to Wilkes-Barre because of the whole population thing. I'll message mtndave, since he is from Mountaintop, and might have some suggestions.

     

    Sounds like a great idea.

    Multiple Databases In Palm 515

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    Yes, you can.

     

    You can either put the two different areas in two databases on your Palm (are you using Cachemate ?), or put your "normal" files in the Default "Not Found" folder, and the other caches in a new folder.

     

    When I am doing things like that, I Export the files from GSAK based on two separate Center Points in my large database, or from two different databases in GSAK.

     

    I might export one file and call it "031406_Away.pdb" and "031406_Default.pdb." That way when Cachemate searches the card for the files, I'll know which one is which, and where I want to put it.

     

    Thanks. Yes, I'm using GSAK and cachemate. I'll give it a try.

    Here is the address to the Pocono Geocachers.

    I am not in that area now but my parents are and they are the ones that got me into caching.

    That area kind of mixes in with the Lehigh Valley Geocachers. They are at...

    There are many geocachers from the W-B and surrounding areas. Bumped into several, been invited on several hunts (due to my work schedule I could not go), always a veru cordial and friendly bunch.

    Garmin Etrex Legend

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I have a garmin etrex legend, plain jane unit, practicaly discontinuied due to the serial port connection it requires. The store where I bought it wanted to sell me $100 program to download topo maps on to my unit, which only has 8mgs storage capacity.

     

    my questions are 1. is the software worthwhile?

    2. is there a less expensive alternative?

    3. how much area will 8 mgs give me?

     

    I have the eTrex Legend (blue) with the 8mg memory. I bought the package deal, GPSr, carrier, car charger, topo maps, etc. It suits me just fine. I have 16 maps plus almost 400 waypoints saved on my Legend and it shows only 19% of the memory used.

    Where To Get Camo Tape?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    i need to know where to buy camo tape or if i need it or if i dont i have a tupperware im gonna hide but it has a white cap and its clear so it would need some kinda camo? :D

     

    Any sporting goods store should have it. I bought some rolls of cloth camo tape in Wal-Mart. Look in and around the camo clothes or gun accessories. With turkey season coming up, you should find plenty.
