graylling?
graylling is correct! WTG! A special coin will be on it's way to you today. I have your address here somewhere.
Whoo-hoo!! Thanks!

Second guess of spud502 is also wrong. The person I'm referring to was here from out of town... they took a plane to get here
graylling?

Probably not quite sticking to the theme, OK, it did take some navigation skills to get up there.
and it's always nice to see pictures from tops of mountains...
The cache: Gun Sight Hill

Several of the "Feeps" are moving along well. One local cacher took an AMAZING photo at the top of the Rocky Mountains. Just a spectacular shot -- I've asked if they would post it here.
For the "Feeps", no photo is required -- you are entered based upon moving them along, but I certainly couldn't resist giving the first prize out for this one.
Here it is, two Feeps on top of Fortress Mountain in Alberta. That's Mt. Assiniboine in the distance.
Here's the cache: Fortress

Here's a few of the Southern Alberta ones:
Badlands High Roller Series by balloonatic.
Get a great tour of Drumheller, you may even see balloonatic flying around.
Cache within a cache by outforthehunt
The final is in a great location in a really cool container. I don't think all of these survived the floods. OFTH will provide missing coordinates as needed, I'm sure.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves by outforthehunt
This one had major flood problems, I doubt if it will be resurrected.
Crawling Around by 3jaze
Those bogus coordinates are far off, here's one leg of it:
This one was really fascinating, touring around the Crawling Valley reservoir near Bassano

I'll take 1 regular and 1 silver, please (with international shipping!

I know you can send gpx/loc waypoints from a PC but is there a program that will allow you to do it from a PDA. It would beat carrying a Laptop on a trip.
I have a IPAQ 3850 and a Dell X5 and a GPSMAP76 and Foretrex 101 GPS. Both the GPS use a serial connection. I would really like to hear from folks that have done.
cheers
Have a look at G7toCE:

After my next long mountain hike, I shall upgrade Google Earth to view my track in 3D.
Why upgrade? Just read your track into Mapsource, save as a GPX file, read into GE:

Earthcaches may not be for everyone but hopefully there are lots of people interested in them. They may be a virtual cache type which does not appeal to everyone but most of them will lead you to sites of great interest and often spectacular scenery in locations that you could not otherwise cache. Better yet, submit your own if you know of a suitable location. The link for submitting is in the first post. Oh, and since I'm a by the numbers guy, "Come on Canada help me retake the number 2 spot from the UK"
So, can someone explain the point of this Earthcache,
when there has been a virtual there since October 2001:
Both have the exact same coordinates and the same logging requirement (i.e. none)
I'm not saying it shouldn't be there, I just don't understand the point of it.

If reastick is going to enter a picture of me, here's one of him:
From Mt. Yamnuska cache
(he looks like he could use a hiking stick!!!)

Can you be more specific as to what you're seeing?

Here's part of the headers of one of mine that was delayed. (I'm certainly no expert at reading these things).
I have this one set up to run on Thursday.
Received by bender at 03:25 on Thursday, received by signal at 18:36 on Friday.
I have no idea what that means.

Heres an ermine we saw on Sunday (with a winter coat):
Here's one from last summer (with a summer coat):

Hmm, I haven't heard of this one, nor can I replicate this behaviour (also what version of GSAK are you running?)
Perhaps if you could provide step by step instructions we might be able to get to the bottom of this.
One other question, have you made the user flag column the very first column in GSAK? (if so try moving it to a different position and see if you observe the same behaviour)
That did it, the User flag column was in the first position, I moved it over one column and now it works fine. Thanks, I would never have figured that out.
It happened on the previous version, tonight I saw the latest version available 5.0.4, installed it, and the same thing happened.
and it's always nice to see pictures from tops of mountains...

Apostrophe in name problem
in Website
Posted
When you go to a cache page by someone with an apostrophe in their name and click on the Hidden or Found by this user, it doesn't work, it puts in a backslash where the apostrophe should be.
Like these ones:
Rockin the Birthday Cache
or
Montane Meadow
