[You Know You've Been Caching Too Much When...]

My mom lives 3 hours away from our house. I told my kids we were going to visit Grandma and they wanted to know if we were really going to visit Grandma or were we going GeoCaching and it's toward Grandma's house!

I have been lurking in the background watching your event unfold. I would love to meet you guys when you come to Alaska! How exciting!

[Track Tb Progress In Google Earth]

I downloaded the add-in and the script and then tried to view the map picture and I got a pop-up asking me what I wanted to do with the file. The pop-up said the file was an: application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml application. I tried it on travel bug TBJVDW which has traveled From Alaska to Florida to New Zealand. I also tried it on several other less traveled bugs, but I get the same result. Did I miss something?

Nevermine .. I figured it out.. Duh ... have to install Google-Earth. Silly me. Now it works great!

I will need four please.

<snip>.  Also one more inquiry, when my caches are all loaded into my palm, and the caches appear on the palm screen, at the bottom where is says "sort by: Name, Waypt..when I click on Waypt I do not get a waypt number ex:gcjddj, I just get more info about the cache. <snip>

I had that same problem and I found a tuturoil at a Maryland GeoCaching website that shows you how to fix that. Going Paperless On Your Palm

That is such a cool idea about the wooden nickel! I know my mice kids do not like to leave the really nice metal coins in the caches (Insert picture of MamaMouse prying the coins from the mice fingers!) The wooden nickel idea would work great! Let me know if you need any help with anything to keep this project going!

Hello Clyde

 

Thanks again for the program. I really love it.

I would like to know if there is a way to import the information from my Palm (Using CacheMate) back into GSAK? The export feature in GSAK works great to convert the file into CacheMate format! The file goes right into CacheMate when I sync, but how do I get the info about the caches I found back into GSAK? I saw the import option on the menu, but it wants a GPX file and the CacheMate file is not in that format. Is there a way to convert it back to GPX format? The only export feature I found from CacheMate is export notes.

 

I know that CacheMate is not your program, but I would appreciate any knowledge you have to help me out concerning the interface between the two.

Can I still order some? If so, I would like two.

[Traveler Friendly Alaska Caches]

I just wanted to add to Daddy Lady Bug's Parks Highway list, Little Willow (GCPFQW) cache. I know Daddy Lady Bug and the Lady Bug Kids have not had to opportunity to test out the cache yet, but that’s because they keep flying back to Fairbanks!

This cache is conveniently located in Willow, along the Parks Highway, south of the Talkeetna Cuttoff, but before Wasilla. It is a good cache for kids and for those adults needing to stretch their legs for a nice 10 - 15 min walk.

When we first started GeoCaching, my youngest asked me if there was a GeoCache at the end of the rainbow. Maybe we can work the saying into a GeoCoin design.

Just an idea.

The Mouse clan would like to be included. We are definately interested in the Alaskan coin club if that takes off also.

The Alaska GeoCoin was our first, but my little ones absolutely loved them. I am positive they would be up for this new coin. The design ideas sound great! Keep me posted and let me know if you decide to go through with the idea and get some made.

I just placed a cache in the Willow area. Easily accessable and good for kids, too. Please see Little Willow (GCPFQW). Willow is South of Fairbanks and North of Wasilla along the Parks Highway.

Since it is new, I don't think the LadyBug Kids knew about it yet!

Are you planning on coming down to AnchorTown if NorthWes arranges an event? If so, you might be able to save on the shipping & distribution for a few of us that don't mind waiting a couple extra days.

[Teaching Gps And Geocaching To Brownies]

I did a brownie meeting on GeoCaching!

I got permission from the school to place a GeoCache container on the school grounds. I had enough little things in it for each of them to take one. I did explain that in the real world, if they were GeoCaching, that they were expected to exchange items and then replace the GeoCache as it was found. I told them some of the GeoCaching terminology, gave them the coordinates, and let them find it.

They LOVED it!

I had printed out a brochure and a card available from GeoCacher-U. I always try to follow-up our meeting with things for the parents .. just in case the parents want to try the fun things at home. When the parents came,the girls were so excited about the GeoCache adventure .. they grabbed up the brochures to show their parents.

As far as excitement level, I think it was one of the top things we did this year.

Good Luck to you!
