  1. My Exact line of code is %drop2 %typ1 %con1 %dif1a/%ter1a %last4 %Bug %by Placed in the "Waypoint Description Format" Box in the send to gpsr in GSAK Gives you the GC code without the GC, what type it is T=traditional M=Multi etcetc.. TYpe of container M=micro L=large etc etc, the difficulty and terrain ratings. Numbers for whole meaning 12345 and letters for the halfs, so if its a 1.5/1/5, you would see A/A, the last four attempts, if theres a TB, and who it was placed by Thanks!
  2. I'll keep an eye out for the correct line code. I would love to have all this info right on my 60 CSx!
  3. -have the Data in the gps compass screen to show "The waypoint code, Diff/terr, last 4 Find or not found attempts, is there a bug in it?, who placed it, and the size and type of hide it is. Yup, GSAK again. How do you do this?
  4. Saw this guy near a cache on Angel Island recently...
  5. I use the very inexpensive Palm Z22 (approx $85.00) and the cachemate program. Works great lasts a long time
  6. Sorry to hear about your bad fortune! But if I was you I would get that ankle fixed up ASAP. If you can't walk you can't cache.
  7. I have actually found that cache down in Atascadero. I'm surprised it was found by a muggle, if I remember correctly it was hidden pretty well.
  8. I was out grabbing a few caches on Angel Island last weekend and at this one cache I picked up 5 or 6 on my legs. I brushed them off before they could embed in my skin. That was the first time I have encountered them in the field, but I am always on the lookout!
  9. Well, my brother and I spread my mothers ashes up in the sierra's way back in 1987 and we have been going up there every year to pay our respects. In 2005 my brother on his yearly trip up to the area stopped to pay his respects and happened apon this ammo can sitting not 10 feet from our sacred spot. He opened the ammo can and read the geonote and wrote a short note in the log. When he returned home he looked up the web site, got some information and sent away for his first GPSr. After about a month or so, after he had found a few caches on his own, he called me up and told me the whole story and thought I might enjoy this new sport/hobby. The rest is history and he and I have been caching ever since. In my view, this was an attempt by my mother, from beyond the grave, to reunite my brother and I. Thanks Mom!!!
  10. My longest hike so far was in the desolation wilderness near Lake Tahoe to a cache called "Super Cache". It was approximatly 4 miles each way and about 1000 foot elevation gain. The hike was well worth it though, it ended at a series of high mountain ponds that you could swim in. Great views too! I loved every minute of the trip.
  11. I have actually had a cache move so far that I could not find it on a maintenance run. I replaced the cache thinking it had been muggled. A week later someone logs a find and says that the cache container did not match the description (I changed it from a small to a micro). I had to e-mail that finder and have him tell me where he had found it so I could go and retrieve it.
  12. And I suppose match containers can actually hold matches?!?
  13. I have the Geocache Navigator by Trimble on my phone and have used it to log my finds from the field. It doesn't actually log the find at that moment, It puts it in a queue and you can access the queue when you return from your caching day and change the log to whatever you want. The people who are leaving these logs are just being lazy, the same as TFTC. And I don't appreciate that either!
  14. When I was younger I used to fish quite a bit and as I started a family I started giving my kids "fish" names. Stickfish was first, then came Mufflerfish then Questfish and I was, of course, the Dadfish.
  15. Opened the mailbox today and what should I see but a nice shiny 2007 Compass Rose and a Geocoinfest 2007. YeeHaw!!!
  16. Got a Lizardtoadz Decypher coin a Magic coin and a Eye Spy coin today. Lots of fun!!!
  17. I have been wanting a new phone for a while, and when I saw that there was a application to find geocaches with your GPS enabled phone I had to jump. So I got the new phone and downloaded the Geocache Navigator. It was a seamless install and I was up and running in no time. I went out yesterday on a cache run and besides the fact that the GPS reaction time is very slow on my phone (Sanyo Katana) and the fact that the font in the geocache Navigator is real tiny (I definately needed my glasses), I loved the ability to log my finds from the field. In my opinion this is not a replacement for your handheld but can get you to a cache in a pinch. dadfish
