I am sorry welch.....I did not get a notification e-mail that someone responded, so I just saw your question... It is a Garmin brand cable.

Howdy, I have a Garmin PC cable brand new in the package. My Parents bought it for my other half for Christmas, but she has an E-trex, so this cable will not work. The package says that this cable will work for models GPS2 and 3 Series, V, 12XL, 76 Series, 92, GPSMAP 176/176C, 196, 295 and Streetpilot 3. This is the same one that I use for my 76S, so it should work with all the 76/60 series as well. I would love it if someone had a pc cable for an E-trex and would be willing to swap. If not, I will just sell it outright. If I am not mistaken, these are about 35$ new, so I suppose 15$ + 3$ to ship it would be a good price. I will even draw a nice smilie face on the package, no extra charge to you!!! If you live in the Chicago area, I can meet up with you in person to trade/sell, although, at the current gas prices, it may be cheaper to ship then for us to drive and meet up. I will also be in the Quad Cities area in the near future, so I would be more then happy to meet you at the casino too! Thanks, Brian and Jenn

The stuff has been spoken for. Thanks for the support in this time of sadness!

Waiting to hear from littleJohn, as he was the first to e-mail me. I will post a note when I find out if anything is still available. Thanks to everyone for your interest in my time of mourning!

Due to a death in the family....Namely my Magellen....I have available the following items: Magellan Datasend Software A power/PC cable for a 315/320 A Magellan 320...Works, but the screen is dead. Maybe you can use it for the extra battery cover. If anyone is interested, I would be more then happy to donate to you for the cost of shipping. Or, if someone has a PC cable for a little yellow E-trex laying around, I would be happy to accept it in trade. Thanks! Brian

Duhh, I just noticed the "Delete Log" option on the page. Would that do it? I dont get out much

Hi All, I need a bit of advice...We had a TB go missing for 9 months, so we dropped it in the Graveyard. I received an e-mail from the person that had it saying that it was back on the move again. If this indeed turns out to be the case, is there a way to have the mileage rest to reflect the actual caches, omitting the trip to the graveyard? Thanks! Brian

Just a friendly reminder: A few weeks ago, the Will County (Illinois) Forest Preserve District requested that all caches that are placed on there land be approved. They requested that the owners of existing caches e-mail in their cords to the county to get approval. As of today, they have only received 5 e-mails out of the 17 caches placed on their land. Please get 'em sent in so that they can get approval, and show our appreciation to the county for working with Geocachers. Lets make a good impression from the start by honoring their requests so that they will hopefully continue to work with cachers in a friendly manner in the future. If you need more info, Geogeek was nice enough to place it on his web site at Geogeek65.com.

Hi Stunod, Yeah, we did notice that too. I now make sure that I pull into a spot forward so as to not send a wrong sign. I think it took us about 8 months before we realized what was actually going on in the area... I guess we were just under the impression that it was people stoping to drink their coffee and read the paper while enjoying the outdoors.

This is also a popular activity in the Forest Preserves in Chicagoland. Generally, (not that I approve of the parks being used in this manner), it is not a problem for me because my other half, Jennifer, is always along for the hunt, giving them the 'Unavailable' sign, so to speak. A few months back though, someone had logged a 'No Find' on one of our caches, and since Jenn was at work, I headed off alone to check on the cache. As I pulled in, I noticed an empty car in the lot and the owner hanging out near the trail head, just kinda pacing back and forth. I jumped out of my car and headed towards the cache, and as I passed him I gave a friendly "Good Morning", which apparently was not the correct thing to do. About .2 down the trail, I headed off the beaten path towards the cache, and had a feeling I was being followed. Sure enough, I turned around, and this guy was hanging back a ways, but following along with me. I continued down an embankment and across a small stream towards the cache, and looked over my shoulder again, and I could see him standing near the embankment, kinda hiding himself, and keeping an eye one me. I continued on, and apparently, he finally got the hint that I was not interested, or he decided that trying to make it down the hill and across a stream was too much work, and the next time I checked, he had given up on me. I sat at the cache a few minutes just to be sure before I pulled it from its home to check on it. Thankfully, when I returned to the lot, he had left. Surprisingly enough, it seems that Sunday mornings around 6 or 7 AM is a particularly busy time for this activity around here. That is when we usually hunt, and it never fails to amaze us as to the number of individuals out looking for some companionship in the local preserves.

Check out: SpaceW or Space Weather and it will give you all the scoop. SpaceW is also a great place to check for the possibilty of Aurora (Northern Lights) activity. Laugh now, but I've got plenty to do when I'm the last person on the planet

Ok, I am really bad at Photoshop, but since it's Kelly, I could not help myself. Laugh now, but I've got plenty to do when I'm the last person on the planet [This message was edited by Team WO9LF on August 10, 2003 at 04:14 PM.]

These are hilarious! This was a fun cache to do. Talk about trying not to attract any attention, this is located in a very popular recreation area, in full view of the main trail. It was a good time! Laugh now, but I've got plenty to do when I'm the last person on the planet

According to the satellite tracking program that I use, they are named such boring things such as: GPS BIIA-12 (PRN 25), GPS BIIA-18 (PRN 22), and such. (Nova for Windows Software... NLSA.com) I like Lerches names better. Laugh now, but I've got plenty to do when I'm the last person on the planet

Twice I have had to delete photo's from logs on our caches. One the first one, the cache has a unique camo job, and someone posted a picture of them holding the container. I deleted it the minute I saw it. On the second one, we have a level 4 terrain cache where retrieving the container would not be for a faint-of-heart cacher. I put in the cache description that if you were not willing to retrieve the container, e-mail us with the type of container and the manner of hiding, and you could get credit for the find. Of course, a picture was posted showing the whole nine yards, which I deleted immediately. I dont mind if someone posts a picture, as long as it is not a major spoiler like the above instances. When we post pictures, we make sure not to have the container included in the photo. In fact, I have photoshopped some pictures to black out the container in case the owner does not want it posted. We usually just take a picture of one of us with the log book. Laugh now, but I've got plenty to do when I'm the last person on the planet

We made A Stroll Through Town specifically for disabled cachers. All 6 parts a Wheelchair friendly. (3 parts are drive by's) Laugh now, but I've got plenty to do when I'm the last person on the planet

I came across this while reading the news: LONDON (Reuters) - Frustrated shoppers who spend hours searching for an elusive item are to be given help -- in the form of a satellite-guided shopping cart. Product designer Murray Laidlaw has invented the trolley, fitted with a global positioning system (GPS), to guide shoppers to their products, the Daily Mail newspaper said on Wednesday. The device, which will sit on the trolley handle, will also suggest recipes, advise on special offers and work out the quickest route around the store. "Lots of people just don't shop in a methodical manner," the paper quoted Laidlaw as saying. "This device will make shopping trips less confusing and time consuming." GPS, initially designed for the U.S. military, will guide shoppers by showing arrows on a screen which take them to the correct shelf. Laidlaw has been given a 30,000 pound government grant to develop the trolley and hopes to have a prototype within six months. Now, I am thinking....Micro-caches in the canned goods isle!!!

A high-tech game of spin the bottle. Laugh now, but I've got plenty to do when I'm the last person on the planet

Yes, that unit has a tendancy to do that on occasion. Usually it is a product of bad signals, but mine really died a few months ago. Thankfully, the other half had hers and we continued on. In the end, I had to do the reinitialize to whip it back into shape. That should do it for you, but make sure you have a back up of all your waypoints first.

No, better yet, It would give you another place to put your lanyard around besides your neck! Laugh now, but I've got plenty to do when I'm the last person on the planet

Hats off the the people involved in putting this one togather! It was a great time! (Get it?...Together..To gather? Gather everyone together? Ok...Not that funny) I wish that we had time to chat with everyone that was there. I know we would have been there all night talking with everyone! We are looking forward to the next event. And No, I was not announcing that I have the Clap! With this group, I figured I had better head that one off before it starts!

What color dress are you going to wear? We dont want to clash, you know! I am thinking of going with my purple evening gown. Do you think that would be appropriate? quote:Originally posted by Jeepster:Has anybody else noticed that Markwell and Team WO9LF both have been hovering around the forum discussing &quotCheeseburgers in Paradise&quot quite a bit lately?
