I've been reading about how some teams have racked up 200 + caches in a single 24-hour period (most notably the recent 246 count in Jacksonville, FL) and wanted to know how the search was executed. Did the team split up once the vehicle arrived in a cache-dense area or did all members search for the same cache simultaneously? I'm putting together a team to make a trial 12-hour run in Atlanta over the New Years weekend and was curious as to what constitutes a "team record" Thanks!

Still using an inflatable two-man kayak. Not many hydrocaches in this area, so the ease of transporting it makes a difference.

As much as I hate to admit it. This cache is calling....no, SCREAMING at me. It must be done! I'm thinking about trying this one in the next couple of weeks. Any takers? Founding member of Bushwacker's Local 5150

Geo, Thanks for the info. It was file conversion that was getting in the way. By default, ActiveSync has file conversion active. I disabled it and the file works fine. Founding member of Bushwacker's Local 5150

Renegade, thanks for your reply. I didn't load it into EasyGPS. Just saved the GPX query file from e-mail onto my PC, then dragged it over to the iPAQ. I'm going to try it with a different e-mail program tonight. Founding member of Bushwacker's Local 5150

I just purchased an iPAQ 5555 (Pocket PC 2003), loaded GPXView v1.1.2 and set up a query in GPX format. After copying the resulting GPX file to the unit (just dragged and dropped it), I tried to pull the file up, but received a "load failed" message. I re-downloaded the GPX file and tried again to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks! Scott Founding member of Bushwacker's Local 5150

Commercial???!!! I wasn't aware that asking a few questions about the Bible as part of the cache was commercial. If that's the case, I'd better archive "Three Hour Tour" post haste! Can't have those references to Gilligan's Island [©1987 Turner Pictures Entertainment] in there, now can we? C'mon folks. This is just a bit ridiculous. I visited the cache and didn't feel like I was on a pilgramage to conversion. I've put Bibles in some of my own caches. I've used Tupperware [tm. of Tupperware Worldwide] for cache containers. Guess I'm trying to extoll the virtues of Tupperware over Brand-X. Yeah, I'm carrying this to the level of absurdity, but that's where this game/sport is headed if we start nit-picking everyone's caches. If the cache had been hidden on church grounds, where the cacher would have been led to a "business", I might be able to understand this. The cache was located in a city park. I didn't even have to sign a statement of faith in the logbook. Amazing! Mind you, I would still attempt to be the first finder even if the cache contained the Koran, Qabalah or Mao's Little Red Book. Nine times out of ten, the hunt, not the cache contents, is the allure. The bottom line is, unless someone can convincingly demonstrate how a few questions about the Bible can constitute a "commercial" angle, I'd say there are two choices: either allow the cache or find a more logical reason for it's archival. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE FOCUS/LOCATION/ETC. OF A CACHE YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEARCH FOR IT!
