Arghhhh! Not Timberframers I hope! My first find! Benny and I go back from time to time just to check on it. And, I've enjoyed watching countless new cachers. Archive? No way! Let's have an anniversary party on the bridge!

Didn't see the link anywhere above, so here's the story from the Ottawa Sun:
http://www.ottawasun.com/News/OttawaAndReg...466490-sun.html
Well, I got halfway down the article but got distracted by the Sunshine Girl link
I'll assume the second half of the news article was as good as the first!

Speaking of customized geocaching license plates (I know, it's going off on a tangent) - a couple of months back here in Guelph, my wife and I saw a white minivan with the Ontario license plate GEOCACHING on it (it was a while back, so I'm going off memory here that it was white, that it was a minivan, and that the license plate said "GEOCACHING") - I should've taken a picture. It was a legal license plate (not one of those decorative ones). We hung around for a bit to see if they'd come back to their vehicle, but alas, no. A couple of days later, some friends saw the same vehicle and the same plates. Now we're really curious who's it was! Seemed to be a pretty cool plate. Anyone know?
Yikes...you caught me. Had the plates for a few years now.
It's actually GEOCACHE (8 letter max).
And it's a silver minivan...the plates used to be on a red minivan but it perished after too many "Wait...I can get closer" caches.
You should have hung around longer...we've met a pile of other cachers as a result of those plates. Makes it kinda hard to be inconspicuous at times though.
Not a surprise you saw it in Guelph... it's where the silver minivan calls home.-TT-

Im going to Canada, Dose any one know were some cachs are there? smile.gifHmmm... Canada is a pretty big place. (Canada Wiki)
Being a little more specific on your destination may get you better help.
If you know your destination, go this page , enter the city and the province, and you have the postal codes. Then, from the Hide and Seek a Cache page, just enter the postal code. Caches galore!
Have fun on your trip!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
My shiny new plasma-or-lcd-or-any-other-technology-that-results-in-a-bigger-than-lifesize-picture television failed to show up under my Christmas tree this year. Again.
Oh well. Maybe next year. 
Santa did bring along a pair of camo-fleece gloves though, so my hands will be toasty warm if winter ever arrives.
My biggest wish for 2007 is for the chance to get out caching regularly again. Those pesky family troubles kept getting in the way during most of 2006. More than missing out on the caching and the caches, I've missed out more on spending time with my friends. Fingers crossed and re-crossed for 2007!
Best wishes to all TFOTT for a safe and healthy 2007!

hi from the far south - i've started similar thread elsewhere- you might be interested in sharing some ideas here:

please only post on the geocoin forum!
Your link doesn't work

Does that mean Yellow Jeep Fever is coming back too!!??? WooHoo!!!! Maybe I can get my "Used chewing gum" cache approved now!
I am glad to hear that Earthcaches are coming back to where they started though. Technically, they are still locationless caches and don't at all fit into the gc guidelines, but rules were made to be broken right? Even by the rulemakers themselves.

For those of you Canadians who have had to get warranty work for your Garmin units, did you go to the place in Quebec, did you send it to Garmin in the States, ... ?
I had heard horror stories about the Quebec service...(I'm sure they'll be replayed here) so I sent my 60C direct to the states. Mine had a scratched screen, cracked case, and broken USB connection. They replaced my unit with a new one. Had it back to me within 5 days. The only problem I encountered was because I needed new unlock codes for the new unit... A couple of emails sorted this out.
My opinion of Garmin US service? They rock!

What do you think about someone logging their personal trackable into their own caches to gain mileage? In this cache the person is profesing to only log the coin once in each cache and so far is holding to this rule, but it just doesn't sit right with me for some reason... Opinions?
BC Tripper
I log my own personal TB back into (and out of) one of my own caches after each caching trip. This cache is very close to my home, and fairly accurately reflects my own caching mileage (if I flew everywhere). My bug sits somewhere around 27000 miles, but I've yet to log all my 2003 caching. Doubt I'll ever get completely caught up.

I set this hide up a couple months ago:
At least your watch count is going up!

whilst on holiday i placed a cache at niagra falls is anyone willing to adopt it as they wont list it because i placed it whilst on holiday from Perth Western Australia... I would really appreciate some help... thanx leon
What are the coordinates?
Copy your cache description here so we can all see!
Is it a micro, regular?
Normal, multi, ??
Details!

...I'm not suggesting that people be rude in their entries...
But then what would I write?

I might just do it, i pretty new to this so it may be awhile, maybe a fall tour.
Good for you! Like they say...if you build it, they will come. With geocaching events, they generally come in droves.
Get an event page set up so folks are aware.
Ask for some assistance if you're going to need it.
Start planning!
Keep your cache event page updated so folks know how the planning is going.
Good Luck!

2) The first thing that came to my mind yesterday was Amelia Airheart. I can't think of any other names.
3) I am pretty sure he was blonde (Oh wait, not all Germans are blonde
)... Ok Heinrich Himmler...just a guess. I can guess a few others too.#2 correct

Buzz Aldrin (I had to ask my wife)
No Clue...I will guess Charles Lindbergh again.
The blonde guy who signed Germany's surrender after Hitler offed himself.

Hey, wait a minute. What do these have to do with the posted topics? Hmmm....
Well, Armstrong and Lindberg both flew, so there was some technology used..OK, maybe the only technology for Armstrong was Hollywood special effect. Hitler? I dunno...maybe we'd have been rid of him sooner if we plopped a GPS bug on his jeep!

I got a good laugh form theit answers too...
Next question: What is the name of a place where people can pass items or information without have to meet each other?
A dead drop box.... I remember this from my days as an international spy.
This is different from a drop dead box, more commonly known as a coffin.

It's those thing-a-majigs and do-hickies protruding out of the outside of a satellite that sends the signals down to earth to our GPS receivers.
Jeez... tough to pick between an "antenna" and "those thing-a-majigs"
I'll go with the "thing-a-majigs" since there are more than one.
It is, in fact the antennae array on a new Lockheed Martin Global Positioning Satellite IIRM
Go ahead "doo-hickie" -er Res!

Well done TrimblesTrek!

Just one darn minute...if you take a close look at the profile, you'll clearly see that qcorvino is a student in 'Gueph'. Guelph has a hard enough time existing on it's own without being branded as a safe haven for TB kidnappers.
Personally, I can't stand it when people think they are being cute by 'kidnapping' TB's. There was a cache a few years ago...(Prison Break or something) that did this. Not funny. Not fun.
