my guess would be and it is only a guess is the compass was directing you to your car waypoint but your profile might of been set on the geocahce profile if your etrex 10 has profiles my etrex 20 does i set my profile to something other than geocache and the waypoint shows up in the compass view like i said it is my guess that is how it is on my etrex 20 no matter what waypoint i choose to go to it shows the closest cache while in the geocache profile hope it helps

you can always see if the county you are in has a GIS (mapping) website and look it up that way which has the ability to access tax records owners name and addy also you can pull right of ways, and lot sizes from them as well

i bring my kids with me and let them try to find it for a while if they cant i help out until we find it they love it even if it isnt designed for kids

great idea i think the quality of swag i have seen so far has not lived up to my expectations mostly dollar store stuff which is ok and all for the kids but let see some cool funky off the wall stuff the cooler and weirder the better i think which is mostly in our swag bag

We had a wonderful time caching in Wyalusing State Park last year as well as at the lookouts across the river (Pike's Peak, Effigy Mounds). There aren't a ton of caches in the parks, but those that you will see on the GC map are in very beautiful locations. thanks anyone else have any cools cool neat caches spot in wisconsin they would suggest seeing

your comment has my mind going if i download a PQ say once a month and i already have the original download on my device if i upload the new pq that has some new caches will it just over write the existing and add the new or will i have duplicates on my device??? No, you won't have duplicates on your device. However, in the two GPS units I own, I also notice that they WON'T overwrite the caches, they'll just add the new ones in - so if the cache is already in there from a previous upload, the original version stays. This can definitely be frustrating when it's been awhile since you've downloaded that area because you don't end up getting the new logs. So I usually delete the old gpx file first and then upload the new one - that way all the new info is there! THANKS FOR THE EXPLANATION

looks like it might hit 2 mill either today or tomorrow

go here see if there is one near you http://www.geocaching.com/rangerricktrails/ there is a ranger rick geo event this weekend in wisconsin

That is what the watchlist does - instead use a bookmark list. see: http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=283 ahhhhh thank you

added more detail sorry

i have an etrex 20 and i have had 3500 caches on it at one time long boot times but it can hold alot i almost bought the etrex 30 but decided the 3 or 4 extra features that it came with over the etrex 20 arent worth the extra 100 dollars so far i love my etrex 20 no pit falls at all with it

how do i stop getting emails about items in my lists??? from watch list anytime some one logs i get an email i dont want the email but i want to keep the cache on my watchlist

touch screen, water proof to 3M and drop proof for 3M plus most of the above mentioned wifi, bluetooth, voice command, bigger screen and call it the GPhabcacheletuter pronounced G-P-Fab-cash-let-uter

Try logging out and back in. I didn't do it, but when you get a chance to pay it forward do. You're one of the lucky's. I didn't do it. I have an idea who did but I won't say log out and back in again. Please pay it forward-you don't have to buy a PM for someone here, Help someone change a tire, or next time you see a police officer on foot in the middle of winter give him a a gift card to buy some coffee. Just do something nice-and unexpected-for someone you don't know. i did not know you could gift a PM that is a nice option i am liking this site/org more and more when my free 30 membership runs out i will definately renew for a 1 year membership

You should do a bit more reading on what I posted. Read my 3rd paragraph. I walked you thru how reasonable suspicion is developed. I gave a lot more elements of developing reasonable suspicion than just 'walking around'. Does someone have permission to be on the property? If found walking on my property do you have permission to be there? No one knows until they are asked and it is checked out. Again, it's a totality of the circumstances that develop reasonable suspicion. Each of those acts may be perfectly legal acts but when taken together as a whole would those actions lead to a reasonable suspicion that someone may be or about to commit some kind of criminal act even if the specific criminal act is not known. So now you claim you do your own research. Before you said you knew all about it because you had relatives who are LE. If you really want to do more research then do a bit of reading about various USSC cases. Then you'll have a better grasp of the topic. Stay away from Wikipedia and other internet "authorities". Read the actual cases. They're o line. Also, remember, punctuation and sentence structure is your friend. i didnt think i had to spell it out but when i stated in and outs i was referring to common police practice and dept policies not laws because most cops only know a handful of laws mainly the ones they use most often typically traffic related and "totality of circumstances" has gotten PD's sued for wrongful arrest and violating constitutional rights more time than i want to go into my info and research comes from http://legis.wisconsin.gov/rsb/stats.html and on 2 instance i have talked to a criminal lawyer (one that specializes in constitutional rights esp. the 2nd) over gun related laws (unrelated to this conversation)

in order for police to conduct a terry stop they must have RAS Reasonable Articulated Suspision and someone walking, looking around does not constitute RAS on a public street or while on property they already have permission to be on (geocaching) or other reasons if that was the case we would not have tourist destinations but all this doesn't matter these are my practices and i was sharing what i do and have been rather successful putting power tripping cops (most cops arent bad) in their place with my knowledge of the laws because I research laws and case law on my own not by asking a cop (which are allowed to lie to you) and finally carry your gps around your neck and gun on your hip and there will be no confusion as to which is which BUT you do have a point on taking advice please do your own due diligence on looking up laws before acting on any advice

wi is a do not identify state which means you are not required to inform the officer who you are or even show ID unless you are being detained or arrested for committing a crime therefore i will not worry about police confrontations, some friends of mine proved that fact in madison wi where some police officers threatened arrest if they did not provide ID shortly after that madison PD lost a lawsuit based on the do not identify law i have always been on the side of the street of never talk to the police just for one little saying they like to say "anything can and will be used against you" but that is me i have no issue with police i have 4 family members who are police so i kind of know more ins and outs than the normal person but this is just my opinion and my practices

You will find there isn't much difference in the Garmin units from the Colorado onwards, so most 'hacks' work what other hacks are available for the etrex20? youve got my intrest up

i forgot to mention there is not a destination for the trip i want set a few outstanding caches as the destination and cache my way to the daily grand prize cache

well the sqwatch family is planning their vacation and it is going to be a week long criss cross of our home state of wisconsin geocaching does anyone have any tips, or memorable geocache places with great or strange views or locations(photo ops) in wisconsin? either post here or Pm me thanks in advance

i will have to partake in this as my first or second track-able after i do a year of finds

i am of the original star wars not the new ones

im kinda partial to my family's cache name
