  1. Hey Arizona cache hunters, there is going to be an event that the organizer is calling "Cache Clash" on May 7,2005 just north of Phoenix.

     

    Check it out at: [link removed by moderator]

     

    Looks like a lot of fun.

  2. If we don't get some more moisture, it looks like the National Forests are going to be closed for a good portion of the summer again this year. Get out there while you can, and remember, TRASH OUT! We can really make a difference in the way our forests look. We took a huge bag of trash out of Fossil Springs this weekend.

     

    Happy cachin',

    Me ambivalent? Well..... yes and no.

  3. Here's a bummer. I recorded the Taken mini-series in December, and finally got around to watching it this weekend. I sit through 7 episodes only to find out that I somehow missed recording episode #8! Did anyone out there record it by chance?

  4. While Mobi makes it easy to get the info onto your PDA, finding what you are looking for out in the field can be a real pain.

    I have recently switched to Plucker. I first use Spinner to turn gpx files into something Plucker can read. Then download it to my PC, then load it into the PDA. This is a little more time consuming than the Mobi method, but once you have the info on the PDA, Plucker is much more user friendly than Mobi.

    There are several threads with links to Spinner and Plucker, so just search and find.

    Good Luck,

  5. Just wanted to start an Arizona presence in this Forum area.

     

    We have been caching for almost 2 years now, and would like to recognize the AZ cachers that have either posted finds on our caches or that have hidden the caches we have found. It is great to see people that don't know each other go out of their way to be helpful and courteous in their words and actions. Thank you for leading us to some spectacular places we would probably never have been. Thank you for continuing to trade up so the caches contain more than old golf balls and Mctoys.

     

    Now that we have a thread for and about Arizona Caching, let's use it!

  6. We just returned from a road trip in our '97 F-150, and the GPSr was dead on! We tried it against our speedometer, and also against the mile markers (you know, 60 seconds per mile is sixty miles per hour). We use an old Garmin 12, and are very happy with it's accuracy.

  7. A friend taught me to fly in 152's and his 172 Cutlass RG. I flew enough to get my single engine VFR license, and haven't flown since. It's just too expensive for me. But if I'm ever on a plane and the pilot and co-pilot both die, I might be able to crash it with more control than the average joe!

  8. A couple of years ago I too got a GPSr for Christmas, and did exactly what you are asking about! I was all fired up to hide a cache, so I went out and did it....problem being that I had NO caching experience under my belt. To make a long story short, I messed it up and would highly recommend that you do as suggested by the previous posts and go on some hunts first. Make mental (or written) notes of what you like and don't like about each cache. This will help you make a cache others will enjoy.

    Welcome to the game!!
