***I think micors in the woods blow***
Simple solution to you micro whiners....DON'T DO THEM.
You make it sound like you are being forced to hunt a micro. Good grief...don't check the micro box when doing a pocket query.

***I am happy that someone found my profile example to be useful.***
It had a lot of information on it and some is what the poster was looking for. Good Job.

***While an old sock might be a good one, because who would steal that?***
A Person who is missing 1 old sock and needs to make a pair?

For me...If it ain't a Park-&-Grab...it is a significant hike.

Out of 9 TB's I released:
7 are MIA.
1 is still in a Geocacher's posession (2 months).
1 is in a Cache.
I won't invest in any more TB's...and certainly not in expensive Geocoins.
If I see TB's, I'll move them. But that is all.
I bought some Drooling_Mongoloid wooden nickels to drop off in a cache...as a calling card and if someone wants it...go for it.

I can get the hard ones out of the way...all the brush and other foilage is gone and it makes hunting those that require Bush-Whacking much easier....unless there is a foot of snow or more to walk thru.

I have Type II for a couple years now...I first took Actos but stopped after a friend died from taking pills for about 10 years (liver damage)...so now I go to wallmart and buy that injectable Relion Type "N" and "R" insulin to use (No Prescription Needed).
When I go Geocaching, I always carry a tube of those Glucose pills to chew on...just in case. I keep it in my camera pouch...that I take with me on all the caches.

I have several Wheelchair caches...
This one has 1 Star because the park is made for Handicapped people and is paved with only a short distance to the cache.

This one is 1 1/2 stars because even though it is smooth, you have to wheel yourself several hundred feet and up a very small incline (still on a smooth surface)....so the extra 1/2 star lets them know.

Also, you can out a Handicapped Icon at the top that connectes to a web site and let people rate it....see the 2 sites.

***Moderators... can't we please, and finally get this syrupy piece of ridiculous self-serving trash moved to off topic?***
Please let me know the new topic so I can learn about:

I served the USA for 5 years....then I quit that bartending job.

***If this is the future of geocaching, then I'm going back to the hobby I came from:
Metal Detecting ***
I used to do a lot of metal detecting....until they started to get banned from parks because many people never covered back the holes they dug.
-
***Do you know if there is a similar map to that but for counties within a state? I don't see myself getting many states beyond about 8 along the East Coast. I live in South Carolina which is small enough that I can see myself getting one in each county.***
You may look at different Geocacher's profiles to see if they are using for maps.
I looked quickly at some and ran across this Geocacher. He has state and county statistics and mentioned that he was using a particular site:
Here is his profile:

Here is one...Put this in your "Profile Details". The "Visited = " is the state "MN NY WI IL IA"...just add the 2 character state code whenever you do a new state.

40 Seconds To Boot up...and some other issues?
I guess my 60Csx will have to do until a couple firmware updates are made.

***flashlight***
Yea, I have both the regular flashlight and a 3 watt LED flashlight.
I think the LED is better on those Fire Tacks.

What do you use?

***Another reason to be glad that my GPSr is a yellow Venture Cx.***
Yea...mine is a 60Csx and that antenna at night looks like a short barrell gun.

I was stopped late at night comming out of the woods. A police car was parked behind my car and the officers were yelling to my wife (sitting in the car) if she was all right. When I came out of the woods, I had that GPS in my hand and that stirred them up.
After I expllained that I was Geocaching and showed them the cache page printout...they relaxed. They had seen a segment on TV here in MAdison, Wi about geocaching. We talked about geocaching for about 20 min, I let them play with my GPS...and they left. No Problems.
Here is my entry: March 30, 2007 (and picture)
