    Football is just around the corner!

     

    It's the beginning of August now, and if someone wants to host this fantasy football geocoin

    league again, I'm interested in playing again.

    Enjoyed playing in this league the last two years, even though my team didn't do very well.

    What are you?

    What am I? A Loon or a Tick?

     

    Well, I may be a bit "loony" at times and I've gotten "ticks" on me, but this evening I was definitely

    a Loon-A-Tick. I was in my hotel room at the GCF Event location and a note was slipped under my door saying there was an envelope for me at the front desk. Hmmm, what could this be, I thought. Went downstairs to the front desk and they gave me an envelope with my name on it. Opened it up and wow, what a surprise! A beautiful shiny new Loon-A-Tick coin !!!

     

    Thank you so much Loon-A-Tick, whoever you are. This was definitely a surprise - a great ending to a fantastic day.

    Who is going to GCF 2010?

    Stellar Jr and I are arriving late Thursday night via an Amtrak train.

    We plan on hitting all the events on Friday, Saturday and Sunday along with some caching in and around MSP and Wisconsin and visiting the MOA. Leaving Monday morning and driving to Kansas City (and getting caches in South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri) and taking the train from Kansas City on Tuesday morning back home to Pennsylvania.

    New Garmin 60csx

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    The Garmin 60csx is NOT paperless. However, in my opinion, it is the best GPS unit you can buy right now. It's basically the workhorse of all GPS units.

     

    If you want paperless, I'd suggest the Garmin Oregon 400t. With this unit, you can download all the cache descriptions directly from your computer to the GPS unit. The DeLorme PN-40 is also paperless, I'm not very familiar with this model, but I've heard good things about it.

    A List of Geocaches at Movie Locations

    in General geocaching topics

    Many scenes from the movie Friday the 13th were filmed in Blairstown, NJ.

    There are two caches that are at locations that can be seen in the movie.

     

    GC1VY14 - Hope's lost - There is a cache located at the Moravian Cemetery that was in the movie.

     

    GC16DDK - In Search of Jason Voorhees - There is also a link on the cache description page to

    show several locations were the movie was filmed.

    Trouble receiving All Finds PQ

    in Website

    Posted

    I checked my email around 9 AM this morning, and I had about 5 PQ's come through

    that should have come through Wednesday or Thursday.

     

    Not sure why I didn't get them over the last few days, but they ALL came this morning.

    Either the system was backed up or they are getting lost somewhere in computer-limbo.

    Oregon turning off when arriving in "zone"

    in Wherigo

    Posted

    Just did two new Wherigo caches with my Oregon 400t.

    The first one worked fine, no problems.

    When doing the second Wherigo, I arrived at the first zone and it

    automatically turned the GPS off. I turned it back on and it did the

    same thing three times. I knew where the second location was, so

    I continued on to it and once I got into the zone for location #2, it

    worked fine at that location. It worked great all the way through

    locations 3 and 4, but once I arrived in the zone at location 5, the

    same thing happened - it turned the Oregon off.

     

    Any advice or ideas about what's happening?

    Thanks.

    What flashlight do you take caching?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    I usually have about 2 or 3 LED flashlights in my geo-bag, but the one that gets the most use

    is the Surefire model L4 LumaMax. This one really works great at night - it's like a mini-

    searchlight. It's light output is either 100 or 120 lumens. It takes the 123A Lithium batteries, but

    I can buy these from online from the manufacturer for less than a dollar each. The batteries

    last between one and a half to two hours of continuous use. The Surefire's are expensive, but they'll last a lifetime.

     

    As a cheaper alternative, I've gone to Wal-Mart, K-Mart or Sears and purchased one of

    their LED flashlights that are about 80 lumens. The cost of these flashlights ranged from about

    $20-$40 and have worked great.
