  1. Here is a sample image name 6bdc0f29-4fe0-4d29-bd89-fda530f9c975.jpg from http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/6bdc0f29-4fe0-4d29-bd89-fda530f9c975.jpgI googled 6bdc0f29-4fe0-4d29-bd89-fda530f9c975.jpg and 6bdc0f29-4fe0-4d29-bd89-fda530f9c975 it came up with zip my google search is this what you are asking, if anyone can find the cryptic file name Groundspeak.com gives the image file?
  2. I have started attaching a laminated note to my trackables with the mission printed on it so people know right away where it is meant to go as soon as they pick it up.
  3. Recently I have seen deer while doing maintenance on one of my caches, but I have stumbled across a few dead birds and a dead rabbit near caches. I have never run into anything threatening in recent cache hunts.
  4. Spring time in Alberta can be very wet. We found a coffee can in the wet wilderness with a broken lid. In the cache there was a package of bath salts that had been soaked as the cache was 1/4 full of water all the items were rusty and disgusting. Most of the time I try and clean a cache up and put better swag in the container, but when the container is broken like that we just cleaned up what we could and put all the plastic things back then took everything that was corroded and rusty with us to toss in the trash. Finding bath salts has caused us to now make sure there are WetOnes in our Geopack as it made cleaning our hands a breeze.
  5. Or needs to move where there are 10,000+ caches in a large city.
  6. Is BlueTooth an option you could explore? Palm and BlueTooth
  7. First try and make personal contact, then if they need something it writing write a letter. I do this for photography and events. I have to get permission from the provincial parks department for a couple of my caches, as they want to see if the cache has an environmental impact and they have always said yes.
  8. That would fit so well in an area where I want to put a cache.
  9. Kenkeknem is a First Nations Shuswap word for "black bear" My first name is Barry that gets shortened to bear. I wanted a name that related to bear with out adding numbers or special characters to the umpteen other bear handles out there. Kenkeknem is unique and I use it on many forums or any place I need to log in with a user name. I Geocache with my wife and 8 year old daughter so we are a group. A group of bears is a sloth or sleuth. Sleuth is fitting as it is also a word for detective or solver of mystery, hence Kenkeknem Sleuth.
  10. I am by no means a 'veteran geocacher' but I did my homework and I chose the Venture HC and I am happy with it so far. The manual kind of sucks (it covers several models) but I have figured out most of the features in less than a couple weeks of use.
  11. I guess you could say I am a lurker, I will post if I have a question that I can't search and find an answer that has already been posted. The big thing I like about GeoCaching is that it GETS ME OFF OF THE COMPUTER and outside walking and being active physically and mentally.
