  1. Armor2 and I will be teaching a class for Homeschoolers on Map Reading, Using a Compass and a GPSRas well as other useful outdoor skills (I'm still in the planning stages). The class will be once per week for 26 weeks. A large portion of the class will require the use of GPS units. Most of these kids come from lower income families and can't afford brand new units or even the prices being charged for used units on Ebay. I'm hoping to get at least one GPSR for every three students. Any idea's on where I can get some cheap cheap cheap would be greatly appreciated. The class begins in approximately 3 months so I have a little time to work with. I'm not sure how many kids total there will be but I'm guessing it will be anywhere from 10 to 20 kids in the class. So I need at least 3 units and maybe up to 7 units. I'm not worried about top of the line or latest technology. They just need to work good and be affordable. I'll probably end up paying for them myself and I'm as low income as the kids are. I have also posted this message in the GPS Garage sale section.

  3. I don't use the f word so I'd probably say...WOW that was fun!...but my favorite weird cache is the 2+ mile one way hike through the Snoqualmie Tunnel..."Mission 9: Tunnel of Light" ...in the dark, especially cool after midnight.

    I have to agree with Gem's on this one. When we found this cache, we didn't have a flashlight, so ended up hiking through (and back again) in the pitch dark. Now I know what it feels like to be completely blind :o . Even my dog was scared to death ;) . My husband had to pick him up and carry him the whole way through and back. We had so much fun doing this cache. I can't wait to get up there and do it again. :D

  4. I just bought a pair of Cobra Microtalk PR 1100 WX GMRS radio's. I got them for a super good price at a pawn shop. The sound quality is so much better then my old set of FRS radios.

  5. Unfortunately, I'm very broke and cant afford the cost of the GMRS radio's let alone the cost of the licence to use them.

     

    So I need to know which is the best FRS radio's to use. What's better; Motorola or Cobra for instance. I'm rarely going to need to use them with any greater distance between then about a half mile. But I want the quality to be the best. As little static as possible. The ones I've got now are cheap and it's very hard to understand what the other person is saying, even at short distances.

  7. I started out as a US Army reservist. I was with the 448th Civil Affairs at Ft. Lewis, WA. Then I switched to Active duty, changed my MOS to Military Police and spent 1988-1991 in Berlin, Germany (287th MP Co.). I got to witness firsthand, the fall of the Berlin Wall as well as German Reunification.

  8. I understand how hard it is to lose one travel bug after another. I even replied to Seth!'s post in that thread listing off some of mine which disapeared. However, asking other geocachers to send two or three emails apiece to this one geocacher is harrasment. Two wrongs absolutely do not make a right.

     

    I agree with Jeremy for locking the thread. I think he did the right thing. He has a big responsibility with this website and many tough decisions to make. I think people should show him alot more appreciation for what he does for us!!!

     

    I for one, Thank You Jeremy!!!

  9. I also homeschool my 13 year old son. We go geocaching every Friday or Saturday. Sometimes both day's.

     

    I have alway's considered it to be a good lesson for P.E., Science, learning about nature and geography.

  10. I definately would call the cops but I would also recomend that the cache be archived or moved. Whoever planted those plants could be dangerous and geocaching being a family sport, It could be dangerous for cachers to be going in there. Maybe I've seen too many movies. I know I and my young son wouldnt hunt for a cache in an area with drug activity.

    I have attempted to email this person but have not recieved a reply. If somebody does know this person, could you give them a friendly little nudge for me? Thanks.
