One thing I see is that under MY CACHE page, the Benchmarks Found list has benchmarks that I could not locate also listed. Could we have an icon that distinguishes found/unfound benchmarks like the smilies and frowns that are shown for the geocaches that are found or not found? Just a suggestion.

I do all my own lamination with 2 inch wide clear tape. Lay your item-to-be-laminated down on a clean surface and cover it with the tape, overlapping it a bit with each strip. Now, once a side is completely covered, flip it over and do the same thing again. Trim the taped edges leaving enough all around to seal your job well and voila, you have a cheaply done lamination. I use this for my cache notes as well as maps I carry in the field and it works great.

The Coffee Bug has been released in a new cache I placed tonight!

Just waiting for the approval to go through.

Dang it!
You beat me to it. I did a search on just about every coffee related term I could think of but came up empty. That's o.k. though. There are a lot of coffee drinkers out there who are always looking for an excuse to drink a bit more caffiene.Hope one of your monks makes it up to Alaska someday. I'll treat him to a Kaladi or Jitters local espresso.

Dru - I thought you were pulling my leg until I found this link:

Would love to try it but at $175 a pound, I'm afraid I'll have to keep drinking from my favorite local roaster KALADI BROS. COFFEE.

Here it is:
Tried to come up with something different. After I got the idea, it took some time to find the right item to attach the bug too. I also put instructions for the bug on the back.
What do you think?

Hey there! Send some of those decals up to me in Alaska and I'll make sure they get seeded around in caches here! Let me know if I can help - send me an email.

That is a tough one and your bug may be there for a while. But I do have to take issue with the methods available to get there. In the winter, snow machines and or dog sleds are certainly a possibility.
Good luck with your bug. Hope it doesn't sit there too long.

Found this benchmark yesterday.
I kind of remembered this benchmark being here from a previous visit to this mountain top.
You can see it's location in the second image. It is set near the peak of Bird Ridge (lower left hand corner). The benchmark reads 'Dept. of the Interior - Bureau of Land Management'. I knew there were Corps of Engineer benchmarks, but didn't know about these.
So, I guess there is yet another database of benchmarks out there for us to hunt up. Is there an official list of these available to us?

I read somewhere that up-to-date USGS maps use NAD-83 and that it is essentially the same as WGS-84 which is what GPS uses. I don't know how accurate that is and I'm sure others here will have a more informed answer.
