Please note: This product is not available in the U.S.

At KansasCity.com this web page mentions the PDA/GPS combination but also says
quote:
A new product, the Geko, was a finalist in the personal electronics category. The company calls the Geko "a fun, entry-level GPS device debuting for under $150." -
The trail was on an old logging road, but there were trees in the road. See my log for pictures.
-
That was to attempt 3, of which I found 2. Of course the no find at Whiteside Mountain was the most interesting.

Then just trigger the find 15 times for different places, you don't have to actually go to the place. It will take a few minutes but the list will be cleared of the "sensitive" information.

Well I guess either some issues came up or it isn't tomorrow yet. I studied up on processing XML with Perl (I use module XML::Twig) and my test program is ready and waiting

If Base36 is used in any form then some numbers would have to be skipped to avoid the appearance of some four letter combinations which would not be appropriate for a family friendly site like geocaching.com

The Rockdale Covered Bridge cache has been archived and the only way to "find" the web page is to know the id or way point.
-
The way I know when http://www.acceptable-risk.com/webcam/webcam32.jpg was last updated is to look directly at the headers provided by the web server. But Acceptable Risk did say
quote:
so apparently he didn't get it fixed, but if anything happened he should have the local copies.
The webcam isn't updating correctly so I have to drive in and fix it tomorrow (I did verify that it is locally saving tho so my 5 second pictures are working) -
Well the date of the picture file at http://www.acceptable-risk.com/webcam/webcam32.jpg is Saturday, November 23, 2002 6:28:51 PM GMT So I guess he never got it to update from the camera software.

I have to agree Rock Town is one of the better caches (based on location) in the NW GA area, but I don't think you could do it in 30 mins. But I would recommend it anyway if you can afford the time. As for some quick ones you might want to check out 2nd Anniversary Cache -- GOLD! Allatoona Pass Battlefield Mary Sue's Cache and if you have time for a short hike Cooper's Furnace Trail

Plus some of the charter membership money is used to help pay for the computers and bandwidth required to run a site like geocaching.com. This of course benefits charter members and regular members everywhere.

Leave them.

There is another set of replys at a GGA Board thread.

Another choice is to not use all 5 all the time. I have one that I keep set with all the days unchecked. When I need a special query. I edit that one, and then check the current day of the week. Since that query hasn't been run today, it runs immediately (or close enough). The only thing is to make sure it has what I want, if I make a mistake in setting it up, editing again doesn't do any good, it will not run again today.

I have stated somewhere that if regular GPS ever get centimeter/inch accuracy, I will place my geocaches this way.
1 Hide the cache as I do now.
2 Step away from the cache in a random direction somewhere between 5 and 15 feet.
4 Get the coordinates of that spot.
5 On the cache page state that once you get to the coordinates posted you are within 15 feet of the cache, now look for it.
That is because I like the hunt and hope other people would do the same.

Stardate might be cool. But a current standard without Months, days, years, hours, minutes and seconds is the "MODIFIED JULIAN DATE" which says
quote:
The MJD has been officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), and by the Consultative Committee for Radio (CCIR), the advisory committee to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). -
Has anyone else noticed at the bottom of the cachepages there is something like this
Current Internet Time: 10/31/2002 @848.28
Where if you reload the numbers past the @ change?
Also does anyone know what it means?

The was very well thought out ClayJar. My comment on your statement "Only one can be sovereign, the Find or the Hider" is that the software behind the scenes at www.geocaching.com makes the Hider sovereign. A hider can delete any find log. A finder can create a new find log, but if the hider wants, he can delete it as well. The hider can delete any log for any reason, or no reason, that sounds like sovereign to me.
I am not saying the hider should be sovereign or not, I am saying the current logging process makes the hider sovereign.

Well I plan to live forever and so far so good.

Well I named my home machine NyyraYnpl
