  1. I thought about that. I also kayak and hide caches, but I don't feel bad about the ones who don't kayak finding my caches. It's a big old playground out there. And there is something for everyone. I might find something interesting to do with it maybe not caching related. Then again...... I can't pass up the chance to play with one of these. I'm am a big ole Geek!
  2. Glad to have any and all in Charlotte/Rock Hill. Any vendors that I haven't contacted please feel free to contact me through my GC handle.
  3. While The Netherlands and Belgium are just around the corner from Cologne, Scottland is a bit further to drive... But I guess in Montana you are so used to travel long distances, it seems less far to you. Don't worry about learning German, though. Most Germans speak at least rudimentary English, or should be, as it is taught in school. When I was in service the Germans I hung out with spoke better English than I did. I was always impressed with that.
  4. Thanks! Found it just before I read this response.
  5. Ah! I am guessing because of the whole not advertising through Groundspeak? Sorry! Thanks for letting me know. And if this has to be locked, then I understand!
  6. I have the task for Geocoinfest 2011 US of getting coin designs and manufacturers together. Who would you say is your company that you prefer? I really want feedback on this from all the collectors and designers! Thanks!
  7. The US date should be released early next week. Our planning committee had a great meeting last night and we were able to hammer out some details. We'll keep y'all posted.
  8. I was wondering what the highest price paid for a geocoin was? I have heard some outlandish prices, at least outlandish to me.
  9. so 10% of the caches placed with it would have off coordinates. Coordinates would be no more off than most people with a GPSR since there is always +- error. If the unit itself is less accurate, then the +- error will be greater. That is not rocket surgery. I hid a cache just the other day with a friend. He had a droid smart phone with him and I was using my Oregon 550. His coords were about 2 feet off from mine after averaging. Just putting this out there. It was pretty accurate.
  10. I have logged attended and will continue to log attended on every CITO/Event that I've held. It just makes sense and keeps an accurate record of where I am in my "caching career". I like having that in there as being a part of the fun I've had while caching.
  11. Portland Charlotte Portugal Germany Voting was for US & I'nat location. Probably not. Why would you want to? I think that after the voting that the groups that sent in their presentations would be proud to have them seen.
  12. Again, what the is going on? I can still see everything about several older caches that I found that are archived and locked one of them being an APE cache!
  13. Not getting this? What is missing? I looked back at some old caches I found under my old handle, on an APE cache and I could still read everything.
  14. It's incredible how much impact forbidding the use of GPSr at historic locations can be for games, tourism wanting to use GPS devices, and local governments forming GIS programs. By this legislation, all Waymarking of historical places would be prohibited in South Carolina. This would be the quintessential cutting of one's nose to spite one's face. I was thinking that myself.... I don't think it made it through legislation. Even if it did. I think it would be challenged to the United States Supreme court as well. TGC Yet another reason we should have just let them secede. I would gladly drive to the backward state and get arrested for using a GPSr in a cemetery or historic location in data-gathering for a website of historical locations. Yeah....thanks. We took care of it.
  15. Which is why I asked if there was wifi service available near the webcam. Laptop, cell phone, iPod Touch. You could grab the pic from these on location.
  16. But on the positive side, most cachers would probably like to log in and catch the pic for the cache. Is there a wifi signal at the location?
  17. There is a benchmark disc at the summit of the now closed Land of OZ theme park in Beech Mountain NC. I cannot find it on GC.com to mark it found. Does anyone have any info?

    Feedback?

    Ah yes. The Groundspeak motto. Not running for reviewer in the election this year are we? I love bacon. Who says they're going to read them all? LOL *bows to the blue bow* I like it. If you give it a bit of time and wander around a bit I can see where it might work for the community if the PTB go through and use the ideas. We shall see what we shall see.
  19. Again with rating systems? A cache is only as good as you make it out to be. One mans trash is another mans treasure. This thread will soon be followed by the "bring back virtuals!" thread of the week.
  20. No. My little girl was three when she hid her first one. She picked the site. And asks to check on it all the time. She has maintained it. All she has to do is ask to go and we do. BTW, it's a cache that you have to get to by boat so maybe she just wants to hit the water. But when we get there she goes to the GZ and checks her cache. Age doesn't matter. She is five now and tells me how dangerous she thinks some caches are due to there proximity to the road or a parking area. She has more common sense than a lot of people I know, cachers or not.
  21. Wow! That guy really gets around. I've seen that same person in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Alabama!
  22. Who could miss that hat? I've never seen Clayjar without it, even when sleeping in his cachemobile! And I have a pic from the grave-site memorial for the H.L. Hunley submarine crews in SC that shows a Beware of Alligators sign. As do I!
