Is there a way to put images behind the main text on a cache page? //<style> body { background: url("/images/image_name.gif") 50% 50% no-repeat; } </style>// The site won't let me use this.

Ahh.. good ta know. Thank you and will do!

If someone posts a picture of a coin and the tracking number is present on it, am I allowed to DISCOVER it for the icon?

So, how do I get rid of the crappy one and get the spiffier lookin one?

Wow! What a pic a nic! We got to meet Z-Files, BarbershopDru, ROCKY, geo-dog Odin, geo-dog Honey, and many others. Listened to some incredible geocaching tales from thia137 and Mebbe. Learned about hydro caches and other interesting ADK caches from GeoLobo and bluegirl. Searched for an event cache with TippyCanoe and Tyler2. We won a GINORMOUS geocoin in a raffle... All in all, a great day. 76Acre Sneakypete00, Busbum, and Davey Crockett

Since there are quite a few paper wasp nests on the buiding nearby, I made my own attribute icon for my cache.

I will be at the upcoming NYGO picnic. Can't wait to meet some local cachers, especially the infamous ones.

Ok, I grabbed the electronic scale from the the upstairs bathroom and weighed it. Turns out, my guess wasn't far off. It is 8 pounds. Muck boots are kept in the back of the truck now.

In our "Swag Bag" which is a L.L. Bean school backpack is: machete (for brambles, briars, and thorns) a pair of rubber/PVC Rainfair muck boots(water fording) bug spray swag(traded & untraded) a pair of work gloves pens flashlight digital camera cellphone compass notepad extra batteries extra ziploc bags stamp pad bottles of water swiss army knife granola bars napkins small clipboard My best guess is that it weighs about 10 - 15 lbs.

The train that does run on this track only does on special occasions, like a "Train ride with Santa". So I'm not too worried about meeting one on the track, which is in pretty rough shape as it is. Lots of helpful replies here, thank you. I did find A cement culvert that I could walk through. Actually, I don't know if they consider it a bridge or a culvert. I have a feeling I should read the updated data sheets and wait till fall when all the veg has died off so that things are more visable.

What does it mean when it says, (MONUMENTED)? I went looking for these ones: OF0816 OF0817 OF0815

Amazing isn't it how many people get lost within hearing distance of a road. I still remember from my Adirondack days how hearing traffic told me I was getting close to food and a shower. I remember days in the ADK like that. Visiting the KOA's and National Parks. I live in Upstate NY, Finger Lakes area. Not too far from a highway, and surrounded by many back-country roads which have names, but are given numbers on googlemaps. Going from here into Rochester city noise isn't all that bad. it's when I take trips down to NYC that the audible difference is highly noticable.

short version long version

Yes there are. To verify this, just check the attributes on the right hand side for winter accessability.

The machete is for briar retaliation only. They are particularly thick this season. 90% of the time, caches in my area are on trails, or in parks with trails. Some trails exist already. Man-made or nature made(deer trail, streambed). I am no stranger to woods. I like my woods, that's why I can't stand Florida!

After some consideration and the experience gained today from some caches... I am upgrading my from beaner hip(fanny) pack to a beaner school book backpack. This upgrade is to accomodate 2 recently added items: 1) Machete 2) A pair of rubber/PVC Rainfair muck boots Also contained in this backpack are: bug spray swag(traded & untraded) a pair of work gloves pens flashlight camera cellphone compass notepad extra batteries extra ziploc bags A good walking stick can usually be found nearby.

I also like watching the ones I did find to make sure I didn't re-hide them too well and to make sure muggles weren't too curious as to what I was up to.

I have a Garmin GPS III + Yeah, it's old, but it works. It came with the external antenna, car adapter, serial connector, and velcro strip. It works fine except for under heavy tree cover and is only accurate to 20 feet. I've only found ground zero on one cache with it. So I guess I'm looking for something more accurate with the same features. What are your suggestions?

13 "found" caches under my belt. I have, SO FAR, learned that: 1) Ammo boxes 30 cal and 50 cal are ultimately the best. They hold lots too. 2) Anything tupperware'ish is crap with the exception of "Lock n' Lock" containers. 3) Micros are are usually magnetic key holders and always have damp logs. 4) Bring bug spray, a pair of work gloves, pen, flashlight, camera, compass, and a notepad. 5) a pile of logs is not a pile of logs. 6) Decrypt the hints BEFORE printing the page out.

Primarily, I use the watchlist to help keep track of the waypoints that I put into my GPS. Dern thing holds 500 of em, and as of right now, I have 54 used. Once I log a cache as found, it gets removed from watchlist because I can check on em from my Geocache tab. Secondary, I like to watch the ones that I did find that are really close by. This alerts me to cachers in the area and if the cache needs help.

How many caches can a non-prem keep in their watchlist?

Bumping up my post. I looked in the FAQ for watchlist entries and only found a thread about who's watching your cache.

Cool. Thanks for the links. I will be making use of them. Here's another question: How many caches can a non-prem keep in their watchlist?

Okay, now that does answer my question. Thank you.
