That it. I've had it. I was just about to go and buy a jeep until I read this forum. Now I've changed my mind and will be buying a Toyota. Really, I was going to buy a jeep now I'm buying a Toyota. Strange marketing ploy to piss off millions of potential customers.

Again I am sorry for failing to update the website. I ran into some unexpectant problems that made the project start to consume more time then I had. I lost my FTP program in one of my last crashes. This was a purchased copy of Cute FTP. I can't restore it from their web site - mine was an older version or something and my s/n doesn't work. Since I will not use pirated software and trial software is not the best, I haven't gotten a decent FTP program running on my PC. The PC is so flaky now and on its last legs (capacitors are sweating badly) I am afraid to install anything on it. I need a new PC. I was never in charge of prizes. The first race, 2003, the prizes were arranged by White Owl. This year, nothing got arranged/donated. I don't think there is going to be any prizes. In essence, this was something done for the fun of it. If anyone would like to organize the next race, 2005, go for it. I would enter a TB in it.

I feed bad about this. I haven't been updating the web site due to a variety of reasons. 1. I had to reload Windows after I got a virus 2. Lost the FTP program I was using. 3. Just when I was getting to the point I could start updating, I got another virus or something. My computer is sending bulk e-mails out. I'm afraid to turn my computer on. I've had experts look at it but no solutions except to reload Windows!" 4. Add to this lack of time to get things fixed I hate computers! I hate Windows. Sorry everyone. Please forgive me.

Black bears are cute and cuddly. Your chances of sighting one increase if you hike alone and as quietly as possible. The cutest ones are the young adult male bears. If one approaches you, just sit still and enjoy the attention. If you come apon a mother with a cub, try petting the cub. Its a real thrill. I love those cute, black things. Its a good thing they eliminated the spring bear hunt. Although it denied a proper lively hood to many and forced some on welfare, it ensure a bountiful supply of these smart, gregarious creatures.

Welcome to the gang. Some guys will be by your place soon to demonstrate the secret Geocache handshake.

For some reason I can't access this link. The PDF document doesn't display....

For over 43 years, I've lived in a area that is POLLUTED with black bears. I've hunted, hiked, fished, swam, canoed, etc. etc and have never seen a bear except while driving. I've come across very fresh sign and realized the bear was just yards away watching me. Bears are intelligent animals that would rather avoid humans. The have superb eyesight, hearing and smell. Be assured the most dangerous part of your trip will be the car ride.

The next one that hi-jacks one of your planes or other terrorist action is going to be blond haired, blue eyed, with a freckled face. Who do you think did all the bombings in Ireland? Racism is going to lead you down the path of destruction....

Okay, everything is shaping up; We have a start date of May 1, 2004. The starting province will be Nova Scota; Send your travel bugs to: Derek Baker P.O. Box 176 Shearwater, NS B0J 3AO Canada We're still working on the prizes.

I've just got to comment on this. I live in a border city on the Canadian side of the bridge. Prior to 9/11, the border was just a formality, at least that's what it felt like. We'd go over to our sister city for dining, shopping, social events, etc. no problem. The US border guards were polite and professional but rarely abusive. Even after 9/11. Now they are abrupt, unprofessional and commonly abusive. Last summer I tried to cross the border to go "geocaching" but was turned back because the US border guard thought my Birth Certificate looked suspicious. I have no criminal record, I have close relatives that are American Citizens and I don't look like no terrorist! I have to believe the rougher treatment now experienced at the border is more political then a genuine security enhancement. I hope that one day we can return to a more civil border entry.

Okay everyone. I'm updating the web page: Race Wepage Still some details to work out but I'm trying to get a May 1 start date. We already have a East Coast contact. Thanks to all that responded. Geocaching is alive and well in the Maritimes. Sponsors: If there is anyone out there that would like to contribute prizes, etc, Please let us know.

The Race Committee is looking for a East Coast contact to start the race in one of the Maritime provinces and to serve as member of the race committee. If interested, please contact me.....

Good luck with your CITO in Sudbury. Might try one here in the Sault. There's one spot I noticed caching last summer, that could use it.....

I don't understand how they resolved the security concerns the United States had. Could this mean a reduction in the cost of the GPS units since now there will be competition? As far as being too accurate and making cache offset from provided coords: I thought the ideal of this game was to find caches. If you want to make caches harder to find, put them on a mountain or make puzzles caches.

You've got to give this person credit. Getting someone to pay you for your knowledge can be profitable. Here are a list of e-books I'm thinking of writing/selling: 1. Speckle Trout fishing in Beaver Ponds 2. Beaver Sticks make the best walking stick 3. Getting rid of those Pesky Squirrels 4. Tree Hugging without Slivers 5. Turn Your Yard into a Forest etc, etc, etc,

So you want to be left behind?

works great

What do you do if you see a lawyer stumbling around in your back yard, bleeding? Shoot him again!

I don't understand what you're complaining about. If you live in an area 99% of the people speak french, and you don't, what are you doing there? How do you exist? Are you saying that french speaking people don't geocache? None of them speak any english and don't know how to use the translator sites on the internet. I find that hard to believe.

Thanks for the replies but these don't help. The name of the stove was "Eco Stove" or very similar. The fuel used was twigs, dry leaves, (forest litter) etc.

Help needed looking for information for a "Eco Stove". I think I've got the name right. It is a fold up stove, suitable for backpacking and uses small twigs for fuel.

It would definitely matter if you were using a magnetic compass with your GPS.

I'm a semi-lurker. When I do post, I do it under the "Canada" section. There's less chance of getting insulted, pissed-off, etc. I've been a member since April 01. It seem back in the good'o days, there was more discussion about Geocaching and less flaming, etc.

Me to!

Hey, if I wanted a "reward challenge" I'd be a contestent on "Survivor". The cache shouldn' t have to anything special in it. Just put the regular "trinkets" in it. I don't give a hoot about that stuff anyway. The great view and/or challenge is "reward" enough.
