  1. I just used Garmin's webupdater to check my GPS's. I'm pretty good about regularly looking for updates, but I found updates for my Oregon, my Nuvi, and my 60CSx. Only the Colorado was up-to-date.

     

    When was the last time YOU checked?

    I check more or less monthly. Hasn't been an update for the 60CSx for quite

    some time. As far as I'm concerned the 60CSx doesn't need changes except

    it would be nice if they adopted the Magellan feature where you can store and

    access multiple waypoint loads as named files on the expansion memory card.

     

    Also I recently checked and found an update for Garmin MapSource City Navi-

    gator North America. The new version is 6.14.1, and it changes the look and

    performance of MapSource quite a bit. Of course this update picked up some

    newborn streets and points of interest. A downside effect of this update is that

    map zooming and panning is notably slower.

     

    One thing I truly appreciate about MapSource is the "View/View in Google Earth"

    Menu feature. With the "Street View" Layers option checked I've been able to

    spot hidey holes before leaving the house. Sure makes it nice to have a visual

    look at a hide before heading out, especially on remote trails. It amazes me to

    see how many streets and even dirt roads have been photographed worldwide

    with 360-degree and still cameras. My Google Earth membership sure is worth

    the twenty-dollar membership.

     

    Life is good,

    Harmon

     

    I was really excited to see the update, as I hoped it would include some of the newer streets. When I installed it the icons are HUGE on my maps, and I lost the labels. I could get these by scrolling over the icons, but as I don't carry my laptop in the field, it's not very useful. :unsure: I couldn't find a way around it, so I ended up uninstalling everything, and putting the original maps back in. Somehow in the process I've lost the "Show in Google Earth" capability, which was always really helpful for viewing my day's caching plan, especially when I'm going on trails.

     

    I'm not that computer savvy, so if you have any suggestions I'd be really grateful!

    We talking caches, or his age? :rolleyes:

     

    Sorry Harmon, couldn't resist. You da man, I only wish I could hike the places you do if I ever approach your young age.

    :o:oThat is AMAZING!! You go Harmon? Need another rest stop now? Congrats!

    Thanks all, I appreciate your support.

     

    Jodi's Rest Stop for Harmon was almost my last find. Fell

    face down into a pile of rocks from a stable standing position.

    I suspect that my fall was Janie's fault but I can't prove it.

     

    I've been saving #4,000 until Sandy is able to be with me. Thing

    is that she spent the past week in Arizona with her mother and

    her sisters. Imagine ... that close but no cigar until she returned.

     

    Maybe today with Sandy but certainly not on a mountain-top due

    to her rebuilt big toe that's coming along nicely but still mending.

     

    Finally I owe most of my find-count to the Geobabes and since

    those days to my super hiking pal Janie of Splashette fame.

    Janie badgered me up more mountain trails than I can recall.

     

    My final push toward 4,000 included Guatay Mountain, Mt. Wood-

    son, Mt. Miguel, Sweetwater Reservoir, north of the fifty-two,

    and most recently Barber Road. Thank you all for the many hides

    on county power trails.

     

    My only regret is that 4,000 finds aren't even half of what is

    respectable in San Diego County. I suppose that tagging along

    behind Geocaching super-stars is the best that an old man can

    hope for.

     

    Your pal,

    Harmon

     

    p.s. I've started a list of local Geocachers that haven't expressed

    congratulations for my amazing feet. Oops, make that feat.

     

    :lol:B)Congratulations Harmon!!! Way to go! We think 4000 is very respectable! :cool::cool:

     

    (Now don't forget to cross our name off that list...) ;):lol:

    Foothills Drifter ... Check

    The Fat Cats ....... Check

    B)Me too, me too! Congratulations, Harmon!

     

    You are a great role model for all those folks that say they're too old for this game! Here's to your next 1000! :grin:

     

    P.S. Where's the picture with the funny cool hat this time? ;)

  3. man that would be so awesome to go get that tb but i have found zero of the caches on the list and i dont think a note for picking up the tb would be smart

     

    I think the whole point is that it's placed in a cache like this so you have to earn the privilege of nominating the cacher on the next card. I wouldn't have it any other way! :D

    Congrats Team Fatman on 2000! Thanks for letting us share the moment!

     

    Way to go Team Fatman!!!

     

    Thanks for letting us share in your 'Two Tons of Fun' milestone!!! ;)

    The 'Fearless Toyota' really makes caching fun!

     

    The Splashes :)B)

     

     

    Way to go Team Fatman.......next I will answer the radio for you :)

     

    I couldn't see the 2000 you made on that paper, so I helped out with my MSPaint skillz.....

    Thanks Eric, yea when I made the sign at Denny's with there crayons it looked good .but in the sun it just didn't work. I really enjoyed being with the Run Away Gang playing the Rebal with my truck, it was fun. You know me I'm going to push it to the limit that's what life's all about. Thanks also to Robyn for the great camera work, and maybe at the next milestone everybody will have a radio to join me. Good Times.

     

    Congratulations, Team Fatman! B) I'm sorry some of our group weren't with you for the milestone cache ;)

     

    I guess you're gonna leave that Carl Jr's one for # 3000 now?

  5. Thanks to everyone that went on the Otay drive. I had a great time with everyone and the views were not bad either..

     

    Paul

    :unsure::D:D

     

    Congrats to everyone above, and all those who made milestones at GeoWoodstock. With all those folks who did 100+ cache runs, there are going to be a LOT of milestones! :D:D:D

     

    Of course, we'll still be logging our caches for the next few weeks! :blink: (Expect to see zeber's by the end of the year! :D )

  9. Does anyone have a picture of the San Diego cachers we took on the caboose at GW6?

    Yep!

    From this log: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LU...bf-72b1dd92a49d

     

    Thanks, the picture turned out pretty good. The GW6 page has so many pictures its hard to find the one you want.

    San Diego actually had a bigger contingent then what's represented in this picture, we just couldn't all get together at the same time. I saw another group shot somewhere of the SoCal Geocachers that included some of the other San Diego Geocachers.

     

    Here's the other picture.

    Boy.. I did not see most of you there.. ??

    I know why you don't see me in that picture ... I'm in stealth mode :D .

    I think I see a boysnbarrie in this one ...... :):anibad::D

  10. Hello SD Cachers! I hope this is the right thread to post a link to my GW6 group photo pix. A grand total of 84 cachers showed up for both picture opportunities. The SD Cachers sign looked so much NICER than anything that I brought which was all BRIGHT RED NEON posterboard.

     

    Feel free to right click and save any of pix and post them in your gallery.
