When I was in NYC earlier this year, the old "trying my shoe trick" worked on several caches that were under benches or on a fence.

I found a tampon in a cache last week in Mississippi. While not exactly naughty, it was rather strange. I also found a used disposable Bic razor in a cache in NYC. Kinda gross and dangerous.

Well I doubt it was the road crew I saw while exiting the Interstate Friday afternoon. They were spraying the off ramp on the Eastbound side. You cannot see the gz from there, as it sits below the road. The cache is on the other side of the fence too. I doubt anyone would even walk down there unless they were looking for it. I was really bummed when I tried to pull up the APE 9 cache last week and found it archived. We were planning to swing that way and take the hike and complete the triad. At least I beat the thieving losers to Mingo. I had no idea Mingo was on our route until we crossed the state line. I pulled up the coordinates and was ecstatic when I saw it was right off the Interstate. I really hope this was just a coincidence, but after talking to other folks about what happened to those around the APE, it does make me wonder.

I found it on our way thru Kansas Friday afternoon. They were doing some road work at the Mingo exit ramp, spraying oil and such. But I know others found it later that day because someone grabbed the trackable I dropped. And someone else dropped one of my geocoins in Mingo that evening. And somebody else grabbed that coin from Mingo Saturday so we know it the cache was ok at that point.

Does anyone know how, or if the Magellan Explorist GC can display your current elevation? I can get it to tell me elevation change on a hike, but not my actual elevation. I read the manual but didnt see it. Thanks!
