    OK. Here goes. I'm the one that wrote the two abbreviations noted. First... "URP" I picked up from my brother in Austin. It's a knock-off from the www abreviation of URL. It means "Usual Rock Pile". Now on to the more talked about HSPEIA. It is simply a code which represents the tracking # of a travel bug. That way, if I lose my printed copies of the cache/TB, I can still look up the number and log movement of the Travel bug. The first time I moved a TB I found out that, even though I actually had the TB, I still had to enter the tracking number to log the final move. This was after I put the bug in another cache. Sorry it wasn't more interesting. I'm not giving out the code though. See who can figure it out first. CacheReward

    I've been using an item called "Feather Rock". I bought it at a rock / garden supply store. It's very light and you can drill the bottom out and cut it easily with a drill or dremel tool. You hollow out a hole the size of what ever container you are using and put it in there. Works great. I have a few caches in West Texas like that. I've used plastic peanut butter jars, Raquetball containers, and even plastic spice containers in feather rock. Very hard to find.

    So, you are saying that I will have better accuracy with WAAS disabled? quote:Originally posted by MrGigabyte: As you did not mention which model of GPSr you are referring to, I will address the advantages as they apply to Garmin's. With WAAS off... + You free up 2 channels that can be used to receive signals from 2 more birds. + You may switch your GPSr to battery saver mode as it must be normal mode to enable WAAS. + You will almost without exception, obtain better accuracy without it. http://www.geocoins.ca

    What is the advantage if there is one to disabling the WAS capability on a GPS? Thanks
