GEO*Trailblazer 1

We spent 2 1/2 years doing the Signature Events across the USA. I got a few of them off the list. But still have a long way to go. Make sure and check out the Waymarks around these as well. I have added the WM # to a few of my bookmark lists.

We have some awesome events in the 4 States area as well. Come on back we will treat ya right.

The tougher the better. You hidem we findum. I got some real hard ones for sure.

Welcome Justin. I would find a few before hiding one. I do not think the phones are that accurate but may be wrong. Find a few first and see how close it gets. You will learn as you go.

I am in Missouri and as long as you got the proper OK. I will be glad to hide one in the Ozarks somewhere.

If you right click on your hosted image you will see options. One is copy image URL,click that. Then come back and start a new reply and click on this Paste the URL in the window and you will see it. And you are right the place you have it s a dynamic. Upload to flickr,picasa or a cache page.

Come rain shine sleet or hail nothing will stop your geocache log mail. And the AlabamaRambler is right. I have lost all signal once inside the cave. That reminds me of that old geocache. Lost Signal!

You need to bring your supplies and cache in our neck of the woods then. We have some all dayers and overniters too.

Keep the fires burnin. There are 5 set now. It has been slow I guess with the way the economy is. I am still here and just as interested as ever. Keep us informed.

I have a 530HCx and have had great luck so far. I have been in the big cities and the thick trees and have not lost reception It even works inside my house. The only place I have found is solid metal buildings knock it off.

Welcome fellow Texan. I know of another Officer who lives in Texas who is a Geocacher. You just might be surprised who is. Maybe you could set one up to cache all the muggles and get them off the streets.

I have a hunting buddy who has shot himself a golf. He has 2 golf balls sitting there on his mantle with all the other trophies. Don't know why but I would have stuffed the whole thing.

Why of course. I am Royalty. I am King of Caching. Not really but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. And I guess you could say we do go back to some Blue Blood. But we came to America to avoid having to answer to a King(Patriarch) or Queen(Matriarch). Just had too ya know.

I would look here first. This community knows as well as anybody else. GEOCACHING GPS Reviews

Well GEOCAC has placed 5. I do not think we "Own" them though as they are now or will become a part of the system. We collectively have a part in them though and we can say we are a part of Benchmarking History.

I think it should be mandatory and in some places it is the County Surveyors responsibility. But from what I have seen they do not maintain the NGS marks in this area. I think heavier fines should be imposed for destruction of marks and followed through on. I also feel this should be incorporated into the training of any new survey student. I have always had this question ... If a Surveyor does not tie to a higher standard mark(1st 2nd or 3rd Order) how can he claim that his lower than 3rd order survey is within 6 feet?

Lets see when I started there were very few geocaches in my area. So I decided to go for the benchmarking portion. Then as I was placing geocaches ll over in great places rules changed a little and could not place them in far off places. It was apparent that a new type of game needed to happen then came Waymarking.....now I can mark all those distant places. I love mapping,I am a technician,and associate member in the SWC MSPS and working on GIS in our area. I think they are all related in some fashion but each has it's own pleasures. So I guess I am a Benchmarking Geocaching Waymaking guru.LOL!!

We are looking for a few good JEEPS. We are planning a Jeep Cache Challenge for 2010. Anyone interested in an awesome event PM me.

I will not give them away but................ You can look at my caches and see the names are used to find the innocent. Some are well devious I have been told. Custom Cache containers. I make everything. And then I have the easy ones.

No one wants to see me. This old man is already nude on top.

I use the binders and the baseball card holders. I use Clear heavy duty packing tape to seal them off so they don't come out.

Here is a couple of fast ideas.

Hope some of these help. EARTHQUAKE /GPS USGS EARTHQUAKE What if the earth moves where the benchmark has been driven to refusal? EDUCATIONAL BENCHMARKS

There is no solution just resolution. We all just have to live with change cause things never stay the same.

I went Geocaching of course. I had my PDA loaded and GPS full of points and hit the road to one that had been giving me a fit. I found it finally and it was a new 5 Star for me. Then I went on for a long drive down south of me and hit a few others that were a long way apart but needed to thin off the map. Had a great day geocaching to come home to UH OH!!!!!!!!!! Where is it? What happened? Did I get banned or something? OH the endless possibilities and the waiting to log the new caches of the day. So all in all I made the best of it. Next day things were back to normal Whew!!!!!
