Actually, an interrobang is ‽ I thought I programmed your phone to do that.

Haha. I noticed that "double double" too. Who proofreads their stuff?

The other day I found a throwdown, or more precisely, a throwup. LOL The previous finder couldn't find the silver bison tube so they left a blue bison tube. It was 10-12 feet above the ground reachable using a TOTT. But how he hung up a new one without seeing the old one is a mystery to me.

Project-gc sends me an email every time someone modifies a log on any of my caches.

GPSBabel will do that. I use "comma separated values" to import to Excel.

The only thing "down" right now is the ability to edit an existing route. It's still pretty easy to create a route in Google Maps and upload the .kml file on the PQ caches-along-a-route site. (Just like we did in the old days.)

I just finished reading Like a House on Fire: A Sam Turner Real Estate Mystery. It’s not exactly about geocaching, but I have found a geocache where Sam Turner found a dead body while geocaching!

You can use the Project Geocaching site (http://project-gc.com) and under the "Cache Stats" tab choose "Days Since Last Found."

A quick check on the Project Geocaching site (project-gc.com) reveals the four caches with duplicate logs. Just enter the cacher's name on the "find bad logs" tab and you'll find: GC2PB24, GC2JMJ6, GCY40A, and GC1F5WD. I wish Groundspeak would provide some type of warning when attempting to log a cache more than once.

Project Geocaching (visit link) has a useful feature called "Not found caches" that will map caches that haven't been found yet. Using the filter you can also map caches not logged since a date that you specify.

Last month a buddy and I were on a FTF hunt in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. We knew the owner had posted goofy coords, so we relied on his trail description to attempt the find. (Turns out he copied the text from a popular hiking book guide and had never been on that particular trail.) In our quest to overcome the shortcomings of the owner we searched for a cut log to match a photo on the cache page. After a good look along the marked route we decided to go off-trail to find the photo likeness. While carefully climbing over a downed Redwood tree my left foot somehow got caught on the log as I was sliding down the other side. I instantly knew I had snapped my femur in half and sat their for a moment taking assessment of my situation. I called out for my geofriend who located me after a few minutes. Luckily his cell phone worked in the forest and a state park ranger was on sight within 20 minutes. While more help was on the way the ranger attached a traction splint and inserted an I.V., and soon an entire crew arrived to carry me out to the waiting ambulance. Following a 50-mile ride to the hospital I had time in the ER to discover a geocoin that my friend had brought along. A “nail” was inserted the length of the bone and screwed fast just above the knee. I got out of the hospital after a week and have been at home ever since. With the bills approaching $85,000 this is my most expensive DNF to date. Thank goodness for insurance.

When I travel through Coos Bay I always enjoy searching for caches hidden by Bad Duck. Some can be frustrating, but memorable. Other nonDuck caches I've enjoyed include Tunnel vision (GC105HW), and A Wildlife's View (GCGQGH). And there are a lot of caches on the way to Shore Acres. As long as you're there, get them all!

Put me down for Aqua.

Check out this excellent flash-based video tutorial by Xangxa Paperless Caching with an iPod Remember to allow it to load completely.

Crazycavelover drove to Phoenix solely to find this coin. But then again, she’s crazy!

3 Hours is NOTHING compared to this one! Did that person specifically travel to AZ for the coin or were they in town for something else?

Is that near Weitchpec?

I prefer fine wine. Well, I prefer fine wine, but can't necessarily afford it.

I'm not sure why all the fuss about addiction. I can quit at any time. Save me three. Make that four. Five.

Don't you mean 150 cents?

Five please.

I too have a staff that fits in my pack, ready to use when I want it. I find it most useful when crossing streams or traversing steep terrain, and the camera mount is a great feature. Lately I've used it to poke around when there is poison oak or other bothersome stuff in the area of the cache, and others have previously noted it is best to stick a stick under a rock to check for snakes. It can also be used as a tent-type pole with a space blanket if you need to wait out a sudden downpour. It's also great to whirl around your head while racing others to a FTF.
