After you have avg. your waypoint, do not turn the unit off! You are losing the accuracy that you just built up by having it on. Just walk away and then follow the arrow back to your waypoint, you should be pretty close. When using the avg. function your unit should give an estimate of error or ETE when this gets down to 5-10' you are pretty accurate. save the waypoint then. The longer you average the more accurate the waypoint will be.

WOW! Good deal!

Small, but what is it? Might not want the bomb squard to find it!

In this area when a cache is placed to honor someone most people know to let the honoree find it first. If they don't find it in a day or two someone else will go ahead and find it.

OP: What a light, fun cache that would be, why not exclude everyone but yourself? Or would that be too extreme?

You can download to a GPS with mapping software. Works great!

For some reason, can't imagine why, I don't think shoutting on the forums will help your case. #4 is 66' too close, not only about 40' and that should be okay. #5, why make this a stage, if there is nothing to find only a fork to take, find another way to tell them without calling it a stage. If you took the time to work these things out beforehand, you wouldn't have this problem, and it is your problem, not the reviewers. The owners of all 11 caches you have found managed to do it , I'm sure you can to.

WOW!, wish I was caching near you! Go for it.

I'm not famillar with your GPS. However a simple compass would do fine.

As for your GPS leave it on, It will be much more accurate than if you just turn it on.

My 1st cache wasn't a MOC, but it could have been, because I sent in the WHOLE $3 for a month before I looked for my 1st cache. Just looking at the site I could see that if I couldn't get 3 Bucks worth of pleasure out of it , then shame on me! How hard is this concept? It's 3 bucks a month or 30 bucks a year.

A Will always stand you in good stead, It is also the correct thing to do, as well as the simplist. Good luck!

Go for it, sounds good!

The reviewer may not see a reviewers note sent in randomly, E-mail them thru GC.com via their profile. Good luck.

Excellent!

Prehaps it should be a discussion of suggestions for creating better nonrecurring topics.

Way Cool!

To further complicate things, let me mention that after an event there is often a cache placed with the same name as the event. This is a phsyical cache. For example. After the "Southeast Midwest Hotdog sampling Caching Event" , a cache called the "Southeast Midwest Hotdog Sampling Caching Event Cache" may be placed nearby. This will have it's own cache page and you can visit it at any time and trade swag or take TBs ect., ect. Try an event, they are alot of fun. I enjoy matching faces to the names I see logged.

I just retired my 1999 Jeep cheerokee in favor of a 2006 PT Cruiser. Was off to a cache first thing this morning.

Yeah!, Briansnat....I Bet you never wrote DRR on someone elses bobber!

A polite e-mail to the owner might reveal what the problem is.

I know just how you feel. It makes me feel like the cacher has no real regard for the cache or its creator. Both are just one more number. It's the longer detailed logs that keep me hiding.

Check the garage sale forum, there is an Etrex legend for $95..includes shipping. Good Luck and Welcome to our world!

From any cache page : click microsoft mappoint to get Local Live put in address to find. the map will come up and the coords will be in the url line above it. It will be in decimal deg. DD.DDDD To convert to DD MM.MMM Take the numbers after the decimal and muliple by 60. ex: N28.6632 .6632 X 60= 39.792 N28 39.792 Best I can do, not awake yet ,hope it helps, there is probally an easier method

A couple of micros in the birthday cake!
