  1. I think tiki-4 created a shared I-95 bookmark (see this thread). You might want to try contacting them to get the link.
  2. I agree with the weasel. And have you READ the Story of Signal?!? I think Jeremy owes the frog an apology!
  3. I believe that's "Needle In A HayStack".
  4. Got my Avroair coin today -- very cool! And the size makes it unique among the other coins I have. Thanks!
  5. Not sure if these are what you were looking for but I saw these in The Travel Bug forum: Die Fees Silvermarc's Personal Geocoin
  6. Yes, there is. Open your file and then select/highlight all the waypoints in the window. Then click on the Waypoint button in the top menu. Click on the "Edit Waypoint..." command and in the Symbol window you can select the Geocache symbol. This should change it for all you highlighted selections.

    Dot Gif

    I believe the "dot" in the center of the envelope means you've posted in that topic. That's just a guess on my part, though. I've not seen this in the legend either.

    Found Record

    I look at those numbers constantly! If someone criticizes the coords, I want to know if it's a newbie. I'm interested to see someone with very high numbers hit town. I'm interested to watch the progress of familiar names in my area and see someone who started after I did blow past my numbers. It tickles me when somebody makes a rookie mistake and they've got a respectable find count. It tickles me when a rookie breezes through one that gave me a really hard time. I could look up the numbers of everyone who logs, but I probably wouldn't bother. And, of course, I particularly like my find number. I don't have a high count and never will at the rate I go, but that just makes incrementing that number more significant. The logging ritual is important to me. I do log my finds in order, and after I log I look at the cache page to see my log in context and my name with that one-cache-higher number on it. And I think, "woohoo! Who's the weasel? I'm the weasel!" If performance would be significantly improved without that number...eh, even then. Nudging that number up one sadistic multicache at a time is a big part of the pleasure I get out of GC.com. Exactly what Auntie Weasel says here (well, except for the "woohoo! Who's the weasel! I'm the weasel!" part). I look at the numbers all the time, too, and for the same reasons. So I'd also like to say please don't remove the counts from the cache page.
  9. I just ran across this thread since it got bumped and had a question. My house sits on a wooded lot with a lot of hickory trees so I can probably find a hickory sapling to use right in my backyard. In your first instruction set you posted in June that that was a good time to get a green one because "the sap is running and it makes it very easy to debark". So how hard would it be to debark a green one if I cut it now? Would it be better to wait until summer?
  10. I know this doesn't really address your question, but I hope you'll do this cache even if you have to modify it. My dad had polio and also suffered from post-polio syndrome. If you place this, I'll definitely do it - not for the coins but for the concept. I think this is a great idea.
