  5. The wife and I are making a road trip soon and I would like an easy way to save all the pages that we are going to on my laptop. I was hoping someone had come across and easy way to do this. Thanks Ed AKA Slvrback
  6. What kind is this? Those are the real colors. I must have led a very sheltered life as I have never seen one like that before. /me isn't a woodsman anyway. LOL
  7. Uhm 28 finds in 24 hours? A total of 86 cache finds in 5 days? Is that possible? In a local area we were lucky enough to be able to visit 5 caches in a 10 mile area on the same day. This is truly amazing!
  8. This is a great utility! I have a Garmin Venture and it worked great with it.. [This message was edited by SlvrBack on June 17, 2002 at 10:13 PM.]
  9. Hi, If you really want to you can edit the .loc file that you downloaded. Go to the file and right mouse click it. Choose the option "open with" and use the OS's notepad. You will see the name of each waypoint is in "". Just delete the text and rename it yourself. I only use 7 characters myself. Save the file and upload. All the names will be what you changed them to. Example to make it easier ( hard to explain anyway ) You will see something like this in your loc file < ![CDATA[Just for Kids by 2Jos' Waypoint]]>geocachehttp://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=19833 All you do is edit the above line to something like this: < ![CDATA[Just for Kids by 2Jos' Waypoint]]>geocachehttp://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=19833 That will name it to of course KidOnly when searching your waypoints on your GPS unit. In EasyGPS itself you can also edit each waypoint and rename it. [This message was edited by SlvrBack on June 17, 2002 at 08:41 PM.]
  10. Here in Indiana it is rather a strange occurrence. The thought of walking into the woods with children in an area you think is harmless and finding a dog pack is a formula for trouble. I talked to a local on the way out that inferred that there had been reports of wild dogs in the area. From the distance to the site of each resting place of "bones”, I don't believe that a hunter(s) was/were dumping that far in. He/they would have had to carry over obstacles to get there.
  11. This is what I posted after finding the cache: "I visited the site today with my wife, Ginger, and another GeoCacher FordMS. As stated at the bottom of the caches page the entrance to the area is currently barricaded, as sides of it have washed away from the heavy rains. This wasn't a problem; we parked the car and walked the .4-mile to the cache. To put it bluntly, I'm very insecure with the safety of this site. This story is a little bizarre, so please excuse the lengthy text. There were actually five of us visiting the area. Ginger, our daughters India and Elise, FordMS and myself. While walking the gravel rode towards the cache site, we saw tracks in abundance everywhere. It's apparently a home for a large number of deer. As we moved closer to the cache the three adults were all carrying GPS units with similar readings. I was 1st to enter the brush with a reading of 90 feet to the cache. We entered below the intended path to the cache. There is a ravine below the cache site; this is where we initially went into the woods. We hadn't gone in more than 40 feet when I found the first set of bones. There at my feet were several deer bones strewn in the brush. Both FordMS and myself thought this was odd, but proceeded anyway. After only a few more feet we came across another set. There was a larger number here including leg, rib and an entire spine. This was not the same carcass. To tell you the truth it unnerved me and I asked my wife and India to go back out the way we came in. FordMS and myself (Elise is strapped to my back in an aluminum carrier) proceeded in and found yet another kill. We are now 30 feet from the cache, which is showing at the top of the ravine from us. I yelled at Ginger to take India to the top of the ravine and we climbed up. FordMS found the cache ( well done by the way ). I dropped the baby off with Ginger and the others on the top of the ravine and went back down to finish looking. I could count at least 5 different kills and a multitude of other bones across the entire area. One was fairly recent as hair from the killed deer was still readily available Ginger said it best when she stated that she felt like she had walked into a Steven King novel. There were K9 footprints in the area, both different size and shape. I have no idea if these dogs had anything to do with it. You do have to wonder though what the bones were doing there. If a dog pack did bring the deer down, why multiples in the area? Why a congregation of bones with in feet of each other? This was a bizarre experience that I'm sure my wife and I won't forget for a while." Cache in Indiana
