Three words
Take your Secretary.
:DDid I say, don’t tell the wife!
Just kidding of course.
I use to take the hard copies, and write on them.
If it rained, you had to read thru the bleeding ink.
I then went and used a 3x5 pocket note book.
Now, that I went paperless, I use the PDA and Cache Log Book to list what I did.

Sheesh. You'd think I had suggested sending munitions as an entry!
If they have wheels, they qualify!

Here is something else, I just thought of.
If you use a PDA, shut down your hot sync manager.
This for some reason. captures the serial port, and doesn't allow anything else to use it. Just another thought.
Also, make sure your gpsr and the program are set to Garmin.
If you change your gpsr to NEMA, and program is gramin, it won't work.

Anybody else had this problem?
Yupp!
Happening way to often, around here!
Not just TB’s but Geo-Coins and other items as well.
It’s very discouraging.
When I find this, I actually try to get in touch with the item owners,
and have them remove it from teh cache page.
If not, I’ll then contact the cache owner, to dump it.

Is this the right place to get MOPAR'ED?!
I guess my phrase is catching on.
Maybe, I should start a New Thread.
Have you been Mopar’ed ?.
Not restricted to the female population, ROTFLMAO.

Gps
in How do I...?
Some GPS's eat batteries like potato chips. .Hey trekmom,
If you are going to use rechargeables,
always get the highest “mAh” rated you can find.
“mAh” stands for milli-amp-hour.
The higher the number, the better, the longer it should last!
Ex: some are 1800 and others are 2100.
The 2100 will last longer than the 1800.
Feed it pretzels, they last longer!
Hope this helps explain it some.

Did you see the "transfer complete" message on your GPS? It sounds to me like they just aren't getting there. What are u using to transfer them?
Hey jltitus,
Here is how to find it:
1) Let the gps fully boot.
2) Goto the main menu, using the joy stick, and select “Find”.
3) On the next screen, highlight and click on “waypoint”.
4) Select the ”Nearest” or “by Name”.
5) You should get the waypoints displayed on your screen at this time.
Hope this gets you up and running.!
If not, re-post again!

I've used the 'kitchen can bags'. If you get the cheap ones, without the drawstring, you can fit them into a film canister.
Ditto
Last year, we loaded over 2000 film cans, with two bags in each.
Start by folding, the store shopping bag, length wise.
When you get the width down, to 1/8 fold, they should be rolled up.
You then can insert them, with little trouble, into the film cans.

Thanks to you both, just put the quarter on my bill.
"Ingraved on the iceblock", as my-father-in-law use to say, as it sits in the sunshine.
Glad it helped!

When you do a quote on someone in your post, what makes their name and date come up next to "quote"?
Using the "quote" button in the upper hand right corner of the quoted post...
Pressing the button does this to a post.
You can enter your comments to the main box.
And if you scroll down slightyl, there is a second smaller box.
That is the box that you will be quoting.
Then to see ( preview ) your actual post , scroll down a little bit more and click the preview buttom.
If all looks ok, then click, add reply.
That tip just cost you a quarter.

OT
First off - thanks from all of us, for going.
What ever you do, stay safe and hurry back home!
Hopefully, you'll be able to log a few caches along the way.
May the "Geo Gods watch over you!"
Back on Topic,
I'll have a few heading to Europe. Hoping to get the last one in the next day or two.
If your stopping in the area, I'll ship them out asap.
If you are going direct, "Thanks for the Offer, anyway

Your friend has to "grab" it from you, first.
Using the same pulldown menu box, in the upper right corner.
Similar to found it , then move it to the cache he put it in.
That should set you free.
Happy Caching. SF1

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
He paid you to say that!
I still want a re-count!

I don’t see a problem with the approvers being a FTF.
I’m sure they won’t go out and hit a gazillion caches.
The ones, more than a few miles, from their home or approval area, are going to be far and few.
If they approve it today, and head out tomorrow am, it should be fine, IMO.
Once it hits the active page, it should be fare game to all.
If they cheat, by just going to the final cache, and not finding the 6 micro’s leading up to the big box. Now, that would be a problem!
Around here, sometimes the FTF competition is very tough, myself included.
I don’t think an approver, could get there faster, than some hard core cachers.
Anyway, the only two differences between us and the approvers are:
1) They take way to much abuse, from the general population!
2) They are overpaid, way too much!
They need to double their time volunteering,
just to come up in par with their salary.

Does that make the next post the first of the new millioninnium?
Hey wimseguy,
My post has the hanging chad , I demand a recount!
I’m not sure how we can decide this.
Being your post came behind mine, I posted and went to the stat page and it showed 1,000,000 .
It’s not to say it couldn’t have been your post that was there!
It might even be one of those guys down under, in the OT section.
No, I don’t concede, at least not yet!
Anyway, it was a nice clean race!

Could it be me?
Nope it was me!
Just checked you were 1,000,001

Hope this is the 1,000,000 posting in the forums.
Oh, it’s not about the numbers!

Did some one say:
1) Batteries and more batteries.
2) FRS radio or other type.
3) Caching companion.
4) Caching boodie.
5) Travel Bugs that you forgot about.
I'll add more later!

I was really looking more for essential items. Stuff that could save your life in an emergency.
Sorry, Ok I’ll cancel # 4 & 5.

D'oh! Thot caught the part of the question that I missed and then answered it with a link to my own page.
Does that mean Markwell got Markwell’ed,
or
did he get Thot’ed .
Inquiring minds want to know.

What makes me aggravated is that people are not even honest about swiping them. One was placed 2/5 at a cache near my house and I went out there the next morning to make an attempt at logging it. It was gone already and the cacher who dropped it was still the last person on the written log. Whether they faked dropping it off, a muggler grabbed it (doubtful), or we have a dishonest hoarding cacher on the lookout of the few remaining, I don't know. I guess my luck will pan out one day.
Yupp! It happens all the time and everywhere. Not just by you. And not just Jeeps, regular TB’s have it happen, too.
If they would at least log them out , then others wouldn’t waste time chasing them.
That’s what I get mad about! I actually stopped chasing tb’s because of that.

How Should I Go About Doing This?
in How do I...?
Posted
Hey wandat243,
Besides taking the brochure.
Here are some other things to note.
It’s always better to, ask first, and in person.
Take the cache with you, to the meeting, and show it to them.
This way they see exactly what it is, and what’s in there, and that it’s harmless.
It definitely helps!
I did this, on state land, where I placed my caches. The Manager, OK'ed it with no problem!
That’s after removing all knives, guns and explosives.
:D just joking!
If they ask a question or two, you can’t answer, with confidence, don’t.
You can tell them, in an asking way, I’ll get back to you!
Come back here to get the right answer. Someone, will help you.
Good Luck, SF1
