Gill & Tony

But they are not indistinguishable, any more than my multi cache stats are indistinguishable from my traditional cache stats. Lab caches are just another type of cache, and have been since long before adventures. Go to a location, do whatever is necessary to complete the requirements for that cache type and claim the find. Requirements vary by cache type.

You may be missing the point. Unless you buy a SIM from the local provider you have no cell phone access. The ALO on the island lets you navigate to the locations with a GPSr, gather the answer, then get to somewhere with wireless access to answer the questions in the app. Having a fence bigger than the island means the question is unlocked anywhere on the island.

Low terrain short hike or P&G are fine for me. I'm not physically able to do long hikes over difficult terrain and I'll probably never fill my D/T grid, unless I can find challenges whose D & T are based on challenge difficulty. And power trails are great for getting Labyrinth souvenirs. 7 of 8 unfound caches nearest to my home are T3.0 or higher. I will never be able to claim those.

Norfolk Island has only one cell phone provider and no roaming ability. Most accommodation providers provide wireless access. The ALO on NI has a put a geofence bigger than the island so you can visit the locations, gather the information, return to your accommodation and answer the questions there, using wireless rather than mobile data.

Easy. I travelled to around 25 countries before I started caching and have since found caches in 42. Plus three countries (Hong Kong, Brunei, Bosnia and Herzegovina) where I visited post caching and didn't find any caches. Additional cost for caching beyond regular travel costs, negligible except for one exorbitant taxi fare for getting to a cache in Fiji. Why is it more unfair that I can afford, and enjoy, travelling; than the fact that I am not physically capable of high terrain caches and will never fill my Fizzy?

In central Florida, near the wonderfully named Yeehaw Junction is a power trail of (approximately 165) challenge caches. I discovered this several months before my trip to Florida and set about qualifying for as many as I could. My favourite was the Alphabetical Order challenge. Find a cache whose name begins with "A". At least one day later find one beginning with "B" all the way up to "Z". I was up to about "L" when I discovered the challenge. Lots of planning went into my next several caching trips. The only "X" cache within a few hundred kilometres was "Xenia Onatopp", one of a series based on James Bond characters. This was a short detour on my way to Sydney airport for another trip. I DNFed it! Fortunately my son created a puzzle cache - "X marks the spot" - not far from home and I got the "X" with an FTF. I finally completed the challenge a week or so before departure and finally claimed 33 of the challenges. The series is a great collection of challenges, many of which, including my favourite, would no longer be allowed.

My son has 3 (pre-moratorium) lonely cache challenges - 5, 15 and 50 years, based on minimum 183 days - and there is a checker for them. the checker allows multiple finds on the same day, so if you are 2nd to find on the day it still allows it. Unfortunately, having completed his 100 years he submitted the 100-year challenge which was rejected under the new rules.

I agree with this in general. However, in the context of someone asking for help, "How can I do some specific thing?" telling them that you or I wouldn't do it isn't relevant. They want to do it, so help them, or don't bother. In the context of someone asking "Should I do this thing?" giving an opinion is relevant

I never use the app, so I'm guessing that the 50 point things I get are goats. I also log with GSAK, so it all happens at one time.

I found 22 caches, all traditionals, one with a lot of FP's. It took 14 before I got my first goat, then 2, then 3, then 2. I just squeaked home with 535 points.

The rest of your post proves that to be incorrect. You may not care about your own numbers but, for some reason, you do care about the OP's numbers. Why do you care why the OP wants to combine two accounts. Why do you care which finds he wants to combine? Frankly, it is none of your, or my, business why he wants to combine them. We can either help him to do the job he wants or we can ignore him. Telling him why he shouldn't do it is not constructive. The way you would do things or the way I would do things is irrelevant. Let's try and help him do things the way he wants them done.

Add step 2(a) Delete any caches found only by ex-girlfriend

I disagree with dprovan. High_Body found those caches and should be able to include them in his own account. If you use GSAK then it is fairly straightforward. 1. Create an empty database. 2. Run the MyFinds pocket query for the joint account and load the file into the empty database. 3. Use the Publish Logs feature of GSAK to add these caches to your personal account. I'm not sure how to keep the original log text for the new logs, but someone on the GSAK forum will help 4. Move these caches to your finds database. If you want to include DNFs or write notes from the joint a count it will take a bit longer, but is still possible

So, can I host a block party on my street in NSW and claim the icon? Why are block parties only in Seattle? Seems unfair to the rest of the world. /sarcasm

I just create a new POI file without those caches and overwrite the existing one. I move found caches from the appropriate unfound database to my found database. I automatically delete archived caches from the unfound databases when I Refresh them (using GetCachesByDatabaseName.gsk), so none of my unfound databases have any found or archived caches in them. When I create a new POI file, the old stuff is overwritten.

Go to the macro index and enter nuvi in the search box. It is there, but with lower case v3.

I don't believe there is a limit when sent as a .gpi file. I may be wrong, but the limit will be huge.

Yes. Or to be more accurate, almost always. I have noticed with the Drivesmart, as with my two previous Nuvi models, it sometimes fails to show icons when they are very densely clustered, as with a power trail. Normally, though, no problems

I use Nuvi_GPX_V3.gsk to send caches and Lab caches to my driveSmart65. The only issue is that I can't persuade the DriveSmart to appear as a drive, so I tell POILoader to send the gpi file to disk and then manually copy it to the DriveSmart. Like others have said, I ise the DriveSmart to navigate to a parking spot near the cache then use my hand-held (E-Trex 32x) to get to the actual cache.

Strange coincidence. That was the first cache that we found at the start of our trip. It was the second one where Gill fell.

They are the ones you are thinking of. Last time I posted a bunch of NM logs for the same reasons the CO fixed them up and enclosed each container in a zip-lock bag, which was a nice touch. I think of a power trail as being all the same container all hidden in the same way. These are a sort of pseudo power trail. High cache density, a few varieties of container and different hiding techniques. An even better pseudo power trail is the SST, South of Narooma. I've found 95 of them and the containers and hiding places are mostly themed to the cache name.

Yes. All of the NM logs will refer to wet and unusable logs. In a couple of cases a previous finder has put a replacement log in a baggie but didn't log NM. A couple of finds had dry logs in a wet container and I dried them as well as I could. I suspect that a couple of the DNFs were due to the container being washed away because the hint was very specific.

So, I have a database or list of multi caches in the area I'm heading to, let's say 50 multis. Option 1. Click on every one of them, read the listing and see whether it fits my needs. 2 seconds to click and open the listing, 30 seconds to read the listing and make a note, 2 seconds to close the listing. Times 50. That's half an hour Option 2. Add an attribute to the search and eliminate the ones I don't want. Maybe a minute. I know which I prefer.
