  1. I use the free app for my kids. I also have 4 GPS units I loan out to students. They sign a contract that if they lose or damage the unit, they replace it with one with equal or greater functionality. I have been doing this for three years now. One unit lost, one damaged. Both families replaced them with purchases from Ebay.

     

    Does the free app no longer show multi and mystery caches? I was unaware the free app no longer showed those.

  2. That's not a bad idea. If you have a specific area of caches in mind, I would contact the CO and inform them your purpose of finding, deleting and finding again. That way the CO won't get suspicious or upset. If the CO does not agree, skip the cache.

     

    The issue I have found us that you really need to set up a new account for each class you have this is because you will revisit caches you've done with a previous class and if you don't have a new account it will show as already found. ( does that make sense? ) the annoying thing is that you will have to give a different email address for every account - it won't accept an identical email address for a new account! I did raise this with ground speak but there was no solution. It also means you have to keep an eye on multiple email accounts for logs messages about TRACKABLES etc. bit if a pain but I've not found a solution yet !

     

    I'm very late coming to this, but an idea occurred to me--

     

    You can use the same account each year if you delete your "Found" logs from the previous year. Or rather than deleting, just change the log type to a "Note." Then they will not show as already found by that account.

  3. The Boy Scout merit badge book would be great and appropriate for kids 5th grade and older. Girl scouts have some other age related materials for Brownies, Cadets and Girl Scouts. Yea, it is for scouts, but either sex can use the educational material. I have used it from both groups.

  4. I have six cachers that are willing to be part of a committee and host it in NC in 2016. We have four possible locations that can host 1000 people fairly easily with plenty of parking. LOTS of physical containers around too!

     

    Contact me and we can start the ball rolling when you want more info.
