The Three Harrell's

Thank you so much!

Hey everyone, I need a little help. I am doing some much needed maintenance on my families cache. We started this one in 2011 and it is still going strong. I had an info sheet in the cache from day 1, and if you can believe it it is still there and not in horrible shape, but I want to replace it. I can't seem to find the sheet on the site, any help would be greatly appreciated. I will print it off and have one laminated again, seems to last that way. Thanks again.

Thanks gitchie, I appreciate the help. It has the cord with it so maybe I can download some.

Hello all, after my Magellan Explorist just quit working I was on the search for a new device with a pretty tight budget. I ended up picking up the Garmin Etrex for $40, I think this was a ok deal. It is the original and I am wondering how I would load caches to it. Can someone tell me if this will work? Thanks.

Thanks Peorie Bill for the information. I swapped out batteries two times with fresh ones and got nothing. I still thought maybe it was the batteries so I put in rechargeables that I use every day in a gaming system and I know they are good, not the batteries. I cannot get the computer to even see the GPS as it will not come on. I am going to contact Magellan. Thanks so much for the help, I will keep you posted. Scott

Thanks for the reply. It is a black screen, nothing. It will not turn on.

No one has any idea? Thanks anyway.

Hello all, I recently got back into geocaching after taking about a year off. I put out a geo coin and a TB and they were both taken about a week after I put them out. I made contact with the person and they were supposed to put them back or move them on, the two have been lost every since. That really made me made and I stopped. I just recently wanted to get back into it and I went to fire up the Magellan Explorist GC and it will not come on, just a black screen. I tried different batteries, hooking up to the PC, reset button but nothing works. It was never abused and was only used a little. Any thoughts on what is wrong? Thanks in advance. Scott

Sorry everyone, in my excitement to show you all I forgot there was already a thread, please accept my apologies.

I just received my wooden coins in the mail today, I think they turned out great! If anyone wants to trade for other wooden coins let me know. I will be using these as a signature item but thought I would trade a few if anyone is interested. Thanks, Scott.

Welcome! I started with my family about a month ago. My wife and daughter are not as in to it as I am but we do go together some times. I opted for the family team name, one account, one email, it just works better for us even though I do most of the caching alone. Either way you want to go will work, good luck. Scott

Sorry guys, yes the decals/labels came from Groundspeak and they have a spot on there asking for a waypoint and so does the log books from Groundspeak. I thought this would be the coordinates but just making sure. Thanks.

This may seem really dumb but I want to make sure before I mark on the label. We are getting ready to hide our first one and can you tell me if I am right? Waypoint would be the GPS coordinates for the cache, correct?

Ok, I think I get it now. When I record a field note in the field I bring it home and plug the unit to the pc. At this time the unit moves the newgeocaches.txt or geocaches.txt to the pc where I can upload them to www.geocaching.com. Once I do that I go back to my pc and delete the newgeocaches.txt or geocaches.txt....Is this right? I just deleted all of my field notes today but it could have been worse. Let me know if I am right, thank you so much for your help. Scott

I have nothing in the geocache file now except what looks like the 4 pocket querries I have ran. Any suggestions now, I read the same things you did on the hints but I was afraid to start deleting for this reason. I really appreciate the help and if you can think of anything please let me know. Thanks. Scott

Thanks. I have done that now and I cannot download them at all as there is no where to download them to now. Any thoughts?

Woops, yep......im a dummy. I guess I am giving away the answer to the first one. There are 3 stages in this park and I am really stuck on the second one because I cannot find the answer to start all of the math. I wanted to make sure my math was correct and I was adding the coordinates right, yes at 40 I understand math but I have never done much with coordiantes so I wanted to make sure I was on the right path. The first one that I posted is pretty easy so all of the answers are there for you on the web page you just have to do the math. I hope I dont upset anyone, my mistake, sorry. Thanks for the help. Scott

I am trying to figure out something and I think I have it but I wanted to make sure that I am doing it right. Can someone please check my math below so I am not wandering through the woods lost? Bear and Ragged has answered my quesiton. I removed the question because I was giving away information in reference this cache. Thanks Bear and Ragged.

Yeah, I was kind of hoping that they would have the list but they did'nt. All is well though thanks to all of the help on the forums. Thanks. Scott

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the help. Scott

Thanks everyone! I am making progeress now. Do any of you know if I download one of the already put together bookmark lists to my GPS (Magelan Explorist GC) is there any way to keep that list seperate on the gps, like in a seperate folder? This series looks pretty tuff, gonna have to travel around a bit. Thanks for the help. Scott

Hello all, I stumbled upon a special geocaching event put on by The Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail group. It states on thier information pages that I can get all of the coordinates here on geocaching.com. I did a search on the site here and i am unable to locate anything. Is there a way to do a special search? It says that there are 40 cache's in reference this event. Anyone have any idea how I can get them to come up here? Thanks. Scott

How are they trackable here? If you buy from www.coinsandpins.com do they come with a tracking number on them already? Does this site recognize them? Thanks. Scott

I have read the directions and I do not understand. Can someone walk me through this please. How do I delete field notes that I have already recorded? I go out Friday and find 10 come home and download to PC. Saturday I go find 10 more and download to PC but it comes up with 20 then in the field notes section. Every time I have to delete the ones I already have. Any help is a greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott.

Thanks!
