  1. I would just update the coords. You already have the series in place and everything, so basically you are just updating them. Just make sure to post a note on the cache page itself informing fellow cachers of the changes made. Cache On!!! TacRat
  2. My first day out caching, I looked for 6 caches. I only found 1. But that didn't turn me off, I kept looking for them and eventually learned how some cachers make their hides. At first, you feel kind of bummed, but after awhile, eh, you get used to it. Cache on!!!
  3. The big thing to remember is that you make the choice to search for a cache or not. Because you may think it is inappropriate, somebody else might think it is loads of fun. The proper thing to do is to contact the cache owner and verify with him before "disturbing" the cache. If you are unsure that you found the cache, do not log it as a find. Another good point brought up, what's the fun of a decoy if you know about it. And last, nice gesture to replace the cache, but be sure to check with the owner first. I had a person move one of my caches around because they thought it was in the wrong place, but how would they know in the first place. I love to place caches that make you think...outside the box. Above all, have fun. If you don't like to play in a particular playground, find somewhere else to play that suites you better. Cache On!!! TacRat
  4. Me and fiance (who is about to get her ticket) are planning on going!!! We just heard about it yesterday. I can't believe I never knew about it, but we are psyched!!! 73, KE5EHZ TacRat

  7. While in the Air Force, I was a ground radio technician, which was nicknamed Ground Rat (Ground Radio). The divided the career field into two separate fields, one being Air Traffic Control, and the other being Tactical. My career field was then Tactical Radio, which I shortened to TacRat. 73, KE5EHZ
  8. When I converted the code from HEX to ASCII (computer code) this is what reads: Most puzzle cMost puzzle caches start oaches start out with a blout with a block of numbersck of numbers that need to that need to be translate be translated into ASCII d into ASCII or some otheror some other form. Very) form. Very boring. Sorrboring. Sorry, this puzzly, this puzzle has the cooe has the coords camoed inrds camoed in a much more a much more ingenious maningenious manner. Try againer. Try again. Sorry :-( n. Sorry :-( Look at this and see if you can come up with something... Tacrat
  9. Judging by the looks of it, it seems like a simple encryption code, but I'm not too experienced with all of that. I would search online for different types of decoders and input the code and see if it decodes to show you something. I have used different decoders on some of my caches, such as a base 64 decoder. I'll play around with it and see if I can come up with something. I love puzzle caches. Tacrat
  10. I bought my first GPS (etrex legend) on ebay and it worked great. And when I upgraded to the etrex legend CX, I got it off of ebay as well. You can't beat some of the prices. One thing I make sure is it is a brand new unit. I won't buy electronics off of ebay unless they are brand new because if one little component inside becomes loose, you just lost. Second, I look at the feedback rating of the person. If they have a poor score, I won't bother with them. Just make sure you read all of the fine print and look over the auction thoroughly. Feel free to ask the seller a question if there is enough time left in the bid for them to respond. If you ever question a bid on ebay, you are more than welcome to shoot me an email and I will look over it to see if it is worthy or not. I purchase a lot of items on ebay and don't mind helping out a fellow cacher. Hope this helps!!! TACRAT
  11. Here's my boy Jake. He is 8 months and loves the sport. He'll go through anything without looking back!!!
  12. Thanks for the quick response. I just noticed that on the gallery page, it said it only contains images of cache logs. Happy New Year!!!
  13. I have looked throughout and haven't found it yet, but how do I add pictures of my hunts and finds, and put them on my gallery on my profile. Thanks in advance for the help!!!
