I just want to let everyone know that I went with GPXSonar. Great program, thanks!

I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death but my searches didn't turn up anything specific for me, it seems most cachers use palm OS pdas. I am looking for something like GSAK for my iPaq, which is Pocket PC Windows Mobile OS. I just don't kow where to look for something like that, anyone have something good? Thanks!

I don't kow if it true for anyone else, but for me I have to enter my email address into the "alternate email" field and select it in order for it to get to me even though it is the same email as what the account is default to. Otherwise they run and I never receive them...

when you no longer do the "spider web dance" when you get it in your face.

Cache via bicycle Edit to note: Always start by going uphill or you will ride the bus back after going cache crazy...

Good to know I'm not the only one thinking about it. A quick java script link on the pages that could "Show map" and display a resizable Iframe/image would be ideal.

Got muh new aztec tracking time geocoin. It's huge, and very very neat to look at. Great quality coin if anyone wants to know.

Honey, its the cache or the kid... time to let him go.

Is there an option to not display maps on the description pages? The dinky things are no good and really slow it down... IMHO

flippin sweet can't wait to use it!!

I feel ya, man!

A bright orange vest, a clipboard, my GPSr and a tape measure or something hanging from a belt loop and I'm pretty much invisible while looking up drain pipes, wading through bushes, and searching under benches for urban caches. It looks weird if you are dong it on a hike of course but in downtown Denver, nothin works better.

Wow, am I one of a select few who actually activates every coin and then sends them into the world? What good is a coin going to do ya sitting in a book somewhere? I do like the idea of keeping a single personal coin and logging it at events and such. But why keep handfuls of coins in your desk drawer?

I make my own metal geocoins. Not quite minted quality but people seem to like the hand made items. Yes, they are lead (its all I can manage to melt), but they are covered in rustoleum and then clear coated to keep from handling problems.

i use energize 2500s and just as an example, I pulled a couple out of the charger and put them in my 60cs, hooked it up to the computer to put in some new caches before going to bed and then accidentally left it turned on all night long. I just picked it up and went caching the next morning with plenty of juice.

Same happened to me, I created and ran it and it didn't come in my email. I decided to copy it and run it again and same thing. Didn't run. So I went back into it a dozen times changing little things here and there just to tweark the script that runs the thing to see if I could get it to work and finally what I did was fill in my email address into that alternate email field (yes the same one my account is connected to), ran it and it worked.

Probably not, but I thought I'd ask anyway... Is there a way to set up the google earth geocaching kml to not display caches that I have found or that are diasbled or....? Thanks!

I just bought a few new geocoins and went out to find some caches to place them in today but found that it was hard to let them go for fear of muggles or whatnot... Anyone out there have any rules of thumb as to what caches to risk placement and which ones to just sign the log and move on?

Learning new skills. As my experience as a cache finder grows, I lose my car keys less often

Original ones. Most of my hides I did before I found all that many, now I know why a lot of cachers get bored. From now on I will only place caches in containers that I haven't found myself

Just don't leave it in your car

During the summer I like going out at first light, a couple of hours before traffic gets bad and the temperature rises. During winter the best days are (here in Denver) those freakish mid-winter 75 degree days when it is perfectly warm, no snow on the ground, no leaves and no undergrowth.

I've owned an explorist and now a garmin 60cs. The magellin has it beat on reception under trees (and under power lines) and lasts longer on batteries, but the garmin is much better at accuracy for caching and tracks/routes for hikes. IMHO

I have a 60cs and if I go and buy dollar store brand AAs, or even regular energizers or duracell that look like they have been sitting on the shelf for a while, the GPS drains them in less than an hour. I invested in some 2500 NiMH AA's (a 4 pack for 10 bucks) and a charger (also about 10 bucks). I cached today for about 6 hours straight on a single pair of those with the barometer, WAAS, and compass running while beeping with autorouting. I then came home, popped them in the charger and will do the same tomorrow

Explorist 100 and 210 both did that on startup, would go blank for a second then run fine.
