  1. I'm in. (former USN First Class Petty officer, and I can show you my DD-214 to prove it )
  2. Not trying to be sarcastic, just trying to clarify. I thought my City Select version 6 CD that I purchased last winter had the 2 keys, so theoretically I could have the software on my "home" PC and "work" PC. If I own 2 GPSMap 60's, having installed it only once, and give the City Select cd to my brother, who also owns 2 GPSMap 60's and installs it only once, would all four 60's ba able to receive maps?
  3. Pretty neat stuff in my local Five Below store, especially if you need kid-oriented stuff.
  4. People have cited that the button placement on the 60C is better.
  5. I lurked in these forums for a while before I started posting, and wondered the same thing: where are the cachers close by me. The local forum is where I found SEPAG (South East Pennsylvania Geocachers). Now I have more looney friends than I ever thought I would. But at least they're cachers!
  6. Very cool, I love how the eat-ee has its tail wrapped around a twig in a last ditch effort to hang on.
  7. If a percentage goes anywhere after purchasing, my two cents (literally and figuratively) is to use for server upgrades, salaries, whatever, at GC.com. I'll donate to the causes I feel worthwhile, and my style would be to not advertise that I've donated to a charitable organization.
  8. I received mine about 2 weeks after everyone started posting that they had received theirs.
  9. I'm going the same day CacheFamily is, August 10th. For the record, I bleed pinstripes. My father sold peanusts in Yankees Stadium, when Lou Gherig was a player, not a disease. We moved to SE Pennsylvania and I don't get to see games very often any more, but we're going to the day game on Wednesday
  10. I found East Coast Choppers near York, PA and moved to new Mile Zero near Cape May, NJ. I agree this was the funniest "bug" I'd come across.
  11. We occassionally cache while on boy scout trips, and have had my 13 year old son along. Lukewarm reception. Took my 10 year old son last month. Heard "too hot", "too far" all day. As for my 16 year old daughter, well, we won't even go there. The one I really want to get excited is She That Must Be Obeyed. But I just get odd looks every time I bring it up.
  12. I found a ton of cool things to place in caches at my local 5 Below store.
  13. I'm glad to hear you can get a dependant caching with you. I can't convince my young'uns. Bless you!
  14. Wow! Now this is the way to do it! Well done!
  15. Hi Keystone. I also am waiting for an approval. I don't see on the cache page anywhere where it has the approvers name. I was curious about a part of the approval process, which may be why I'm waiting for approval. The cache I hid was meant to coincide with a specific event tomorrow, so I specifically asked that the cache not be activated until at the earliest today. Here's my question: how do I know if this cache has even been looked at for approval? In other words, it may not be an issue that it hasn't been approved because of my request, but how can I tell?
  16. OK, so I admit I had to take a second look at this on the Sportman's Guide web site, . But the coincidental timing was interesting. They come in 3 paks as well. BTW: Great web site for discounted stuff.
  17. Southeast PA has their own web site. Try posting there. We're a great group of folks who almost never make fun of people.
  18. Its worse on the weekends, all the shore traffic and Great Adventure traffic. That's why I asked about the travel plans. Rte 130 is a great alternate to get around the Turnpike between exits 7 and 8a. Use your mapping software to build a route around it. From the south, take exit 7 for Rt 206, hook up with Rt 130. From the north, take exit 8a, go west a little and pick up Rt 130. Tappanzee/Cross Westchester/I-684/I-84/Mass. Pike/I-95 is also an alternative to getting too close to NY city when travelling to Maine.
  19. When you get to the Wilmington, Delaware area, I-95 will split off to New Jersey to I-295, just past that move over to I-495 to go around Wilmington. I merges back again just below the PA/DE border. Its a prettier drive and eventhough its the weekend, there will be less traffic. Philly airport is up a bit further on I-95. You don't say what day of the week you're travelling, and whether you're interested in getting there the fastest route, your tolerance for tolls, etc. I say that because there are a couple of options to get around New York City. I travel I-95 to CT a couple of times a year, and to me its nickname is the Highway of Perpetual Construction.
  20. Cubscouts? Me too! Boy Scouts as well. All future geocachers.
  21. Its like PBS, you don't have to pay to watch, but it feels better knowing the non-commercial, higher quality "programs" are receiving the support of the viewers. GC.com is not making anyone a millionaire (well, I guess if El Diablo sells enough walking sticks....) so as membership increases and server power needs beefing up, I know where my 3 bucks are going. Oh yeah, there's that pocket query thing too.
  22. Welcome to the obsession, resistance is futile! Don't forget to eat, that's easily done once you start perusing the forums. Also, don't forget to feed the kids, walk the dog, go to work....Its amazing how easlily these activities fall by the wayside while you're having fun caching. By the way, encourage the kids, let them hold the GPS. When you spot it, don't announce it, let them "find it". The glee they get is priceless.
  23. Well, I got the answer. Not much else to say..... off I go, playing "Dodge the Muggle". Time to move on.
