By the way Dick, thank you for your service! Both of my grandpa's were in the Army in WW2 and I was in the Army myself. This chat with you has really made my day!

The infamous Johnny Bob Harrell was my moms 3rd (I believe) cousin. Technically, you and are are related.... lol Wow, it is amazing what a tiny little ball this planet is. It has been beyond a pleasure to chat with you. Please feel free to email us at any time beetle1170@yahoo.com

Much of my family is from Louisville and Flora! My aunt Dorris Jean and Uncle nick taught school there! I am related to the Harrels, and the Howard's on my mothers side and the Bailey's and Welty's on my dads side. SMALL WORLD!

Thank you W7WT! We live about 30 miles East of St Louis in St Jacob, IL. I will make sure we are ready for all weather the mountains have to offer. I have been to MT before with my dad when I was 17. None of us have been to Yellowstone though and I'm hoping this trip with my sons has a lasting effect and creates the kind of bond I felt when my dad and I went to MT.

Wow, thanks everyone for your input. We are really looking forward to this trip. It will just be us 4 guys. I'm really hoping for some epic bonding time with my teenagers. It's sometimes hard to find common ground when they are this age but I have high hopes for this trip. We used to Geocache a lot a few years back and always enjoyed it. I figured we would try it again on our "trip of a lifetime". A 44 year old, 17 year old, 15 year old and 13 year old (all boys) in a car for 10 days. What could go wrong??? lol

Thanks for all the help. We haven't used the Geocache app in a few years but really enjoyed it and wanted to check it out when we went to Yellowstone. I'm going to work on trying to create the pocket query. I just bought the premium membership so I'm assuming I have all that at my disposal. Thanks again to everyone for the help

I'm assuming the GPS in my iPhone6 will not work without cell service?

Thanks! I've never really done any geocaching without the cell phone in hand. I guess I need to brush up on my map and compass skills?

My 3 teenage sons and I will be visiting Yellowstone and staying in Cody Wyoming at the end of June. Any tips, pointers or recomendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
