So the first cache I ever discovered was Breathless in St. Louis Missouri Breathless This is the coolest cache container There is a "valve" in the lid that allows the air to go out when the lid is placed on the bottom To open the cache you inflate a balloon and release the air from the balloon into the valve which puts air in the container and "raises" the lid. So I want to honor breathless and build one here in Georgia ... Sadly when I emailed the cache owner 4PNTRs They did not respond to my email message asking for help on how to build a cache container like it ... Someone posted a photo in the field logs on 12/16 so you can see for yourself what it looks like The problem is when I go into a hardware store to ask for advice on what kind a valve I need I get lots of three headed alien looks. I have to explain what geocaching is THEN try to explain the container THEN try to get someone to still care enough to want to help me find a valve. Anyone ??? Ideas??? Help ??? I can't find anything "valvish" anywhere and need some ideas and where to look for one and what to call it. Thanks Georgia Walker

Best $10 app I ever bought oh wait only $10 app I ever bought I tried 3 free apps for my droid phone to try geocaching with the kid after good friends raved about the "sport" Three weeks later and maybe a dozen failed attempts to find 5 different caches ... Not to mention the levels of mama drama I called that "good friend" who raved about the "sport" ... They picked us up yesterday and took us to a park we had already unsuccessfully wondered aimlessly for days handed the me with this app and five minutes later we had our first find. Downloaded the app in carpool line today .... Found 3 caches in 2 hours in 3 separate parks ... Bottom line they say there are good free apps out there but for me Cost of app was well worth the improved functionality and reduced frustration of free apps Hope that helps
