  1. Thank you for your help guys and gals . I appreciate the feedback that I get in these forums.
  2. I am a fairly new geocacher and I had a Question about the accuracy of coordinates when placing a cache. I've placed two multis already, both with positive results,but I was wondering how to get more accurate coordinates? The technique I use to is to place my cache, set the GPSr on top of it( with a good track on satelites of course) and use the average feature. I let the gps click away and at times have let it take 2000 to 2500 readings with an estimated accuracy only up to 14 feet. Considering the size of the planet earth, 14 feet is pretty good but I think I can do better. When averaging the position, how many readings do you need to get the most accurate results? Obviously, the longer you let the Gps average, the more accurate your results will be.I sat and waited for close to two hours on one cache and it still wasn't as accurate as I wanted it to be. Do you wait 3 hours, 4 hours 5 hours? What's the limit and where's the threshold, the point where it doesn't matter and its not any more accurate?
  3. Nijimasu and Griffiths Gnat have started a race. Luminom (TB3400) is in Pennsylvania (Alien Autopsy) and Balthazar (TB4E48) is in Idaho (Alien Autopsy II). Luminom needs to make it to Idaho and Balthazar needs to make it to Pennsylvania. If you come across either of these guys, Please help them on their Journey. Feel free to place bets on who will win.
  4. I've heard of Crappy Caches but that clever idea takes the cake Crusso!!
  5. I've got an idea for a gps road rally. A set of coordinates takes the driver to multiple microcaches (first gives coordinates to the second etc.). Each team is timed with a stopwatch and fastest time wins the cache or I should say CA$H because in order to participate drivers need to give 10 bucks in entrance fees. All the money collected goes into the pool and the winner takes all. Does anyone think this is a good idea? Please, Give me your feedback.
