  1. I also have a 10/10/10 log but no souvenir. What gives?
  2. I, too, am receiving the error message when attempting to log in. I am theorizing it may have something to do with the ampersand (&) in my username. If so, is there going to be a fix for that?
  3. I am trying to solve a puzzle cache recently published in my area. It has a dragon theme, and involves symbols (?) that resemble those of a digital clock. Here's the link: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...6e-6c4430c67d67 Has anyone ever seen such a monstrosity? If so, any clues/suggestions? It would be cool to be FTF on this one! It has all of us stumped! Thanks.
  4. In my encounters w/ law enforcement, when I mentioned the word geocaching, I found that they were already familiar with the sport and were cool about the whole thing. I agree that people do get crazy sometimes. Once I went on my lunch break (read: broad daylight) with my white, long-sleeved shirt, tie, and name badge on, to get a cache that was a mild walk on a trail which just happened to be adjacent to a school parking lot. When my buddy and I were leaving the site, we were met by a waiting police officer. He was standing beside a stern-faced lady, who was obviously a teacher or administrator at the school that notified the police. He asked what we were doing there, we told him geocaching, he was familiar with it, and that was pretty much the end of the discussion. Yes, siree, I can see how that lady thought two, middle-aged, men in dress clothes posed a serious terrorist threat to the school campus!!! Ridiculous!! Besides, it was a public trail not on school property. Gimme a break!! There's no need to ban micros from parking lots either. If I see signage, or other evidence, of a trespassing prohibition, I comply. I don't hide nor do I hunt in those spots! I imagine the vast majority of our caching colleagues do likewise!!
  5. I suspect the version is recent enough that it should work. Here's a little more info. There are two device "screens", one for serial ports (with several ports listed) and the other for USB devices (but there's nothing in that list). If "Auto Detect" is selected, MapSource does not detect the GPSr.
  6. I have a question along the same line. I have an eTrex Legend C. Today when trying to download mapping data from MapSource, the MapSource software did not seem to recognize the USB connection with my GPSr. It only listed options for using a serial port which, of course, my GPSr does not have. Can anyone assist with this question? I would really like to get the more detailed mapping offered by MapSource as opposed to just having the base map. Thanks.
