    Is there a retail geocache store in western Montana

    in Northwest

    Posted

    The REI in Missoula carries a few Geocache items. If you are heading to Spokane, check out Cache Advance as you can sometimes arrange a visit to her Cache Cave.

     

    Depending on what you are looking for, I might be able to point you in the right directions, drop me a line through my profile.

    REI has more stuff online, but the Missoula store does have a variety of supplies there. I Didn't know about the Cache Advance store in Spokane, I will definitely have to check them out-thanks for the tip.

    I was in a similar boat that you are in, but I started out with an app on my phone. This allowed me to see if I enjoyed it enough to actually go and spend the money and buy a real GPS. Well, needless to say, I'm hooked. I did about a months research, because I'm a weirdo who reads every review out here about GPSR, at some of the following links. I finally broke-down and purchased a Garmin Oregon 450 that was half-off during a Memorial Day sale.

    I hope this helps and I hope to hear from you on what you decided on getting and welcome to caching!!

    When I first started Caching I was using my Android phone (Droid) and it had great accuracy (+/-5ft). I was/am using an app called "c:geo" and it has been the best caching app that I have been able to find on the Android market. Caching with your phone is a great starting place to see if you enjoy this activity. I use this app still, but I have upgraded and bought a GPS for when I go caching in the woods or back-country areas, where the phone gets bad or spotty signal.

    Deleting TB Log

    PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!

     

    BlueDeuce, thanks for the walkthrough. When I was using MrsB instructions the first go-around I thought I could just edit my 'found it' log. I didn't realize that I had to create a whole new log entry, so no wonder it wouldn’t let me do it.

     

    T4E, it was really confusing. It didn't 'archive' the TB itself, just my log. After I deleted the log for the TB it still showed that I had those two in my ‘possession’, but wouldn’t let me edit my ‘deleted’ log that I could still access, but not edit. It showed ‘Archived’ in red in the upper right-hand corner of the ‘deleted’ log.

     

    THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED ME!!!! It seems that I messed-up pretty good on this one, but it definitely made me learn to not log TB on my phone. The caching app is way to touchy on the TB log.

    For each of the two TBs I suggest you do the following:

     

    Go back to the cache page for the cache where you retrieved the TB

    Go to 'Log Your Visit'

    Select 'Write Note'

    Change the date back to the date you visited the cache

    Write a comment e.g. Correcting TB logging

     

    Underneath the Comment box, against whichever TB you retrieved from that particular cache, select the Action option "Visited".

     

    Then Submit Log Entry.

     

    This will allow that TB to visit the cache, to show it was there, then it will be back in your hands ready for its next move.

    I tried your suggestion, but after I go through the process it still shows that the TB is still in my hands and won't let select the 'active' or the 'grabbed it' option. It still just gives me the 'write note' and 'discovered it' options.

    The other day I picked-up two TB, so I logged them with a geocaching app on my phone. The next day I logged on and noticed that the TB had the wrong symbol indicated (it showed that I found it, but not in that particular cache), so I deleted it, thinking I could go back and redo the log, and now that I try to log the TB's it only shows two options, either 'Discovered it' or 'Write Note.' So, is there any way to show that I 'Grabbed from cache' or am I stuck with using the 'Write Note' or 'Discovered it' option?
