I had an idea along the lines of "Wildlife Refuge" just a little bit broader: I thought of a category called something like Wildlife Watching Areas. It would not only cover NWR but also Natural Reserves, Whalewatching etc. Anybody any input on that?

I really like this idea of a box with trash bags. Let me know what we have to do to become part of it.

We are planning a geocaching trip too. It is going to be our first so we'll tell you after the trip how it was. Here is what I did in preparation (I have no laptop and no TOPO software.): 1. I printed out about 100 caches along our way. I tried to have them evenly distributed along the route with a couple more at places where we plan to spend the night. If there was an overload of caches, I read the logs and picked those that seemed A: most interesting and B: easiest to find. 2. I printed a map page for each cache and then got large AAA maps of the area and marked all caches in the map. 3. I raided the local Dollar Tree store and also stacked up on batteries and films. We'll be leaving in two weeks and will let you know how it was.

Hi, I just found a travel bug that wants to go from California to Europe. Is it Ok to pick it up and mail it to a fellow geocacher in Germany? Or would I have to make the trip myself? thanks everybody Bernd_das_Brot
