  1. I noticed logs started to drop off in quality with the advent of GSAK and other direct to GPS data methods. Carrying 500 locations on a chip is easy, carrying a few printed sheets made people stop and think. I think the growth of speed caching and park and grab hides killed a lot of the original spirit too. How else can one log a Wal Maht lamp pole other than "Uninspired. Fail"?

     

    "Twitter-Mentality" will further wound eloquent logging. Txt msg has already shown up from cell phone found caches.

     

    Just an observation.

    Obtaining the coordinates requires a viewing of "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World", which for those that may not have seen it is strikingly similar to a FTF race to a geocache.

     

    I did "The Big 'W' " GCB0F

    It IS a big dubble-ya too <_<

  4. My Citizen's Band license number is KAMD-3631. Can anyone find information on me from that?

     

    You're probably 50+ (based upon being a driver in 1975), You had a 'handle'. You have a good memory or keep things. You owned an 8-track. You liked 'Smokey and the Bandit'. You HATE Vega's and Pinto's.

     

    I couldn't remember my VHF Marine Land license # for a hundred Monty Hall dollars. SOMEWHERE I have an engraved tag for the radio, somewhere...

  5. I suppose it's a reasonable (but remote) concern.

     

    I mean, geocachers can't be the only ones that visit a place and think to themselves, "Gee, this would be an AWESOME place to hide something!"

     

    Someone had a tagline similar to "Geocachers know where to hide bodies" forgot who...

  6. "Were / Are You Military / Scout?"

    I did that thread WAAAAAAAAAAY back in '01 :lol:

    I started to feel a bit queasy when after a quick scan, I saw I've been here the longest in this thread (insert queasy smiley attempt to follow) :queasy:

     

    Back in the day ( when we used to go Geocaching barefoot, in the snow, uphill both ways), EVERYBODY was learning, so posting was pretty interesting. Amusing anyway. What whippersnapper with a brand new GPS® 3000 with holographic display and 10 TG memory wants to listen to someone that is using a 10 year old GPS48 ? :lol:

    Still here, I can't bear to look at Getting Started anymore. I don't sell GPS units anymore so I'm not the fountain of pertinant information I once was. I also get upset with people that say "GPSr" and I'd have a complete melt-down if I ever saw another "How do I Use My NewGPS®" thread (RTFM idiot, it's easier than your remote control AND posting in a forum). "What GPS® Should I Buy?", "What Does IDIOM Mean", "It's Hunting Season", "Do You Carry a Gun?" and "The Religious Question" put me over the edge too. Hence, I don't even look at them. I still get out with my non-vocal account, I should start finding a few more with my classic name and GPS-48.
