  1. Hmmm.... after reading the posts after mine and seeing that the coin was coming and going, I went back and tried. The coin wasn't showing up but just for the heck of it I checked my basket and it was in there! Went through the entire checkout procedure and it looks like it worked, got the confirmation email and everything.
  2. Yep, same here. Got it in the basket, them ka-boom... error... sold out.
  3. I'd like one of each please. Thanks!
  4. Cool... I can live with that, thanks One other question, if I have a 500 mile route, with a 'distance from route' set at 1 mile, and the PQ generator determines that there are 600 caches that qualify, how does it go about purging the extra 100 caches? Does it start at the beginning of the route and include all caches within 1 mile of the route and then stop before the end of the route OR does it choose all caches closest to the route along the entire route and then work it's way out to the 1 mile 'distance from route' selection until it gets to 500? I'm guessing the former.
  5. I don't get it. When you first introduced this feature (an awesome one at that) I used it for a trip I made through the southwestern U.S. in early July, 788 miles worth. Now I'm putting together a longer trip, just under 2,000 miles and I have to run 4 PQ's? You provided a feature, then crippled it? It's not like someone is sitting there with a calculator and a compass putting the PQ together... I mean, it is running on an unattended computer right? I don't mean to sound ungrateful ('cause I do love the feature!) or ignorant, but four 500 mile PQ's probably use the same server time/load as one 2000 mile PQ, I'd think.
  6. Can you confirm receipt of my email? Thanks...
  7. I thought this was pretty cool... Ms. PennyPacker is in Arizona with her son who was asked to try out for the Jr. Olympic baseball team. She called last night (as she has done the previous 3 nights) to tell me how things were going. I'm driving there tomorrow from SoCal for the weekend and to bring her back (she flew there) so I've been taking advantage of the 'caches along a route' feature (which is awesome!) here and using GSAK to fill up the GPSr. We're going to take the long way back, through Utah and Nevada, so I got lots of caching to do. Anyway, I had loaded up some 300 caches in GSAK and started up Google Earth when she called. I was just getting an idea of where some of the caches were and their proximity to the freeways. As we're chatting she mentions the name of the hotel she's at so I buzz over there in G.E. to get a 'birds eye' view of the hotel and make some mental notes on how to get there tomorrow (yeah, I know, I got a GPSr, why make notes). As I'm looking around in G.E. I see a cache just a couple of blocks from her hotel, GCMVB4. I tell her about it and give her some basic instructions on how to get there. I tried to describe the distances and locations in her terms (she can get lost in her garage) not really thinking much more about it. Well... she calls tonight all excited, telling me how she followed the directions I gave her and found the cache! No GPSr, no cache print-out, no Cachemate... as paperless and tool-less as you can get. Her daughter was with her during all this and now she's looking to buy a GPSr... after I explained to her that you usually don't go cache hunting without one!
  8. On the road it's the Silverado, but in the dirt we take the Cache Cow... a Yamaha Rhino. Here's Ms. PennyPacker showing it off:
