  1. Thanks for the reply. After a power down, and cold start - we were back in business. I should have done that first, it just took me by surprise - as I've never had an issue with this site before.
  2. Worked fine last weekend. Tonite I get a new agreement to read and check off. Looked it over, checked the box, selected "Garmin" at the bottom, and hit the "Submit" button. Takes me back to the agreement again. Looked it over, checked the box, selected "Garmin" at the bottom, and hit the "Submit" button. Takes me back to the agreement again.

  3. I'm trying to see how long I can keep a streak rolling - 'till I bag all the caches between the casa, the gym, and the office. I've been picking off C&Ds & LPCs for over a month, and I'm getting to where I have to hike a little to get my daily smiley. I usually roll with a caching kit, containing spare logs, batteries, minimag lite, bison tube O-rings, baggies, tweezers, etc - but when I'm on the way from work to the gym, and just hop off the bike for one, I typically jam the eTrex 20 in my pocket and go. Yesterday was such a day. Parked the bike, and started scrambling back a trail, toward what I was sure would be a relatively quick grab. I've found over 20 of this gal's hides - her coord's are usually spot-on, and they don't require bush whacking, as a rule. GPS puts me 1/8 of a mile in, and over 100' off the trail in some pretty dense stuff - I'm surprised, but follow to GZ, just as I get the "beep" for low battery. I'm not running back to the bike for batteries, so I start working around a promising-looking tree near GZ. I look back at the GPS, and it now has me 80 - 100 feet off, GZ is back out towards the trail. I hustle back out to the trail, and am bearing down on the "new" GZ, when the Garmin goes black - dead as a doornail. I started poking around, and made the grab, but thought it strange that the eTrex would lock in on a false target that far off. Skies were clear, and tree canopy wasn't particularly dense. I also found it strange that the unit would bother to give a low power warning - with less than five minutes left in the tank. This is the first time I ran it totally dead. I usually pop fresh batteries in at the warning beep. Is this weirdness typical when the ol' AAs are in their death throes ??
  4. Thanks everyone, very much ! I didn't realize the difference between "challenges" and "geocaching challenges" - I guess that's part of being a rookie. I figured everything would be listed in one place. I think we are going to get to work on the County and DeLorme Challenges (geocaching challenges) Thanks again !
  5. I remember seeing somewhere about a challenge to get a cache on each page of a DeLorme state Gazetteer, which sounds pretty cool to me, as we are long-time Gazetteer fans and users, and ride motorcycles aimlessly about quite often. Does anyone know how to find the Pennsylvania version of this challenge, and get started? I did a search in the forum for "Delorme", and got very little of use. I searched from the Challenge page out front, to no avail. What am I missing
