I don't schedule them either...I run them when I want to refresh my cache list. Ok, I archived the old one, created a new one and marked that as "Delete When Run". I ran it and got the Pocket Query within a couple min. Whats the deal with that? Anyway, thanks for the help. I'll store that information into my personal "Organization Process Assets" for future use.

There is still a Red check mark in Saturday's box. I also have the Uncheck box after it runs checked....but it never unchecked...so I guess it didn't run.

***I have this stuff sent to a Gmail account. I might create another email address at a different server to see if anything comes.*** Ok, I ran another Pocket Query and had the PQ sent to my paid web-hosting email address (Not Gmail or Yahoo or Hotmail)....and it still has not come.

Having issues receiving Pocket Queries. It started about 2 days ago. On Friday afternoon, I ran 1 for that day...after a few hours, nothing came. I ran it again...and nothing came. That night (around 10:00 pm central), I got about a dozen new listings, a weekly news letter and 1 Pocket query. Saturday (11:00 am central), I ran another Pocket Query and nothing came. So, I ran another....and still nothing. So, I get new listings, news letters and no pocket queries. I have this stuff sent to a Gmail account. I might create another email address at a different server to see if anything comes.

I'm in Dallas and because of the city and few parks where you can hide an Ammo Can...there is a MICRO on every corner, in every tree and bush and under every lamp-skirt at every wallmart and other shopping centers. If there were Virtuals, I could at least use the Donkey at the Owens Sausage factory in Richardson....oh wait...there are 2 lampskirt micros within .1 miles........DANG.

***Here's your answer*** I read that link and the experiments that were done...very interesting. Thanks to all that responded.

Suppose I do a pocket query for 500 caches within 25 miles of my home coordinates...but there are already 500 caches within 5 miles of my home coordinates. Does that mean nothing appears for the other 20 mile radius or are things averaged out over that radius/distance to give you something to find up to 25 miles?

I did that once...took a logbook from 1 cache and placed it in another cache. When I first looked in the Ammo box, I didn't see a log book...just a Baggie with a TB and paper in it....which I thought was the TB information. Thinking the logbook was missing, I put a piece of paper and pen in the ammo box and dropped off the TB at another cache. After another Geocacher discovered the error, I went back to the other cache, got the logbook and placed it in the proper cache. It took a few days though. These were the log entries: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LU...53-403708cf4ebb http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LU...b4-3c9eb78b0ddc

***Change Gpx to gpx at the start (2nd line) and end (last line) and save the file. Then use that file*** Yep, that worked...."Gpx" should all be lower case "gpx".

***Please discuss Wherigo hardware questions in... of all places... the Wherigo Hardware forum. This thread is about Wherigo geocaches.*** Since a "Moderator" mentioned that they went out with a workable PPC...I thought that just maybe I could get an answer here of what he used that worked...since just about everyone else in the Where-I-Go Hareware forum has problems. But never mind with a quick answer...I'll re-read all the problems in Where-I-Go hardware forum..."Of All Places".

I don't know about the calculating problem...but ***Here's a dumb question but I don't know the answer so I'll ask it. Sometimes the compass pointer doesn't show on the compass. Why?** Have you switched between Compass and Bearing pointer? Check your menu settings.

***I was able to get out today with a borrowed Pocket PC and play through a couple of the Wherigo "play anywhere" cartridges.*** What did you use that worked? I've looked at the Where-I-Go hardware forum several times but everyone seems to report some kind of problems with various PPC's. Since I won't get a Colorado yet...I might invest in a PPC that I knew worked with Where-I-Go.

***Off topic, but I wanted to note that you're mistaken, or reacting to outdated information, so that nobody is confused by this portion of your post.*** June of last year I was not allowed to do a true POD-Cache...I had to also include a Transcript of that audio file to get it published. When did things change?

***I can see where you're coming from... But personally, I just started geocaching recently. So all the spots in the area that have been in hiding (and found frequently) for the past couple years - are all new to me!*** Ok, we will give you a few days head start.....lol

***I would like to see a time limit (1 or 2 years) set on all caches to keep the sport fresh*** And ***Nothing to do with smilies*** I agree...once the locals have found the caches it is basically done unless the "Out-Of-Towners" come look for them. Even if the caches change once a year...it gives the locals and frequent "Out-Of-Towners" fresh caches to look for too.

***The point was that just because a group of people like something, doesn't mean it belongs on this site.*** The point is that just because a group of people DOES NOT like something, doesn't mean it belongs on ANOTHER-site.

I was going to get a Colorado 400 to replace my 60CSX and do Where-I-Go...but there seems to be too many problems with the Colorado...So, I am holding off. I would get some GPS enabled PDA but in the hardware forum I have not see something that works 100%...so I am holding off on that too. Otherwise, it looks interesting and I would like to try it.

***I would like to see lots more micros and nanos, particularly of the lamppost skirt, guardrail, streetcorner post office box and sidewalk newspaper box genre, and concomitantly, I would like to see all caches in those categories moved to a separate website.*** So, my Bison Tube hanging on a wire fence is safe....WHEW!!!!

***Since I've been on the forums, I'm amazed at how folks re-define words like "first."*** I've seen First To Find. First To Log.

***So, why aren't virtuals on the site? "Enough people" apparently don't agree.*** And even if 100% of the Geocachers agree...and the 1 person from Geocaching.com says no...who do you think wins?

***You can argue that at least a MICRO is still a geocache. Its a stretch to call a virtual a geocache.*** Ok, I'll agree there....

***But that's just it...people did complain, and virtuals were given their own site. *** People complain about MICROS...how come they don't get their own site?

Isn't that waymark advertising? After all it tell you to eat there to make a log and it asks you to report on the conditions. Could this be KFC drumming up some business? Visit Instructions: To log this KFC, you must have eaten at this particular location. Please enter the items you ordered from this visit in the log description. You CAN include your GPS in log photos. Please comment on the cleanliness of the facility, the courtesy of the staff, and the quality of the food served (e.g. fresh, hot, presentation).

***An I thought my latest puzzle was hard! *** I'm Confused.....LOL

***But bringing back virtuals would also be selling their product, no?*** It would...but at least everything is in one location.
