  1. Be sure to check how many geocaches your Garmin can hold. You may want to filter out some caches if the whole island is too many.
  2. I think one of the servers is down. I went back, and the server date was today, and the queries had run just after midnight server time.
  3. Last night (Saturday, February 16) I requested two PQs to be run on Sunday. Today neither has run, neither shows as being requested to run, and the server time shows as yesterday. I am in the U.S.
  4. This evening I am getting a 500 internal server error when I try to go to the page for any cache linked from my dashboard.
  5. AnwenCelia, I think that most cache owners are glad to help if you ask. I have an idea that might make searching easier when you are on your own. Maybe when you find a cache, write down how it was hidden. Then the next time you look, you will have a list of places to check, depending on the things nearby.
  6. I'd say, see what's up with the knee. If this turns out to be a long-term situation, do you have a caching buddy who could look after problems? Or maybe even an appreciative past finder, if he or she is reasonably close to the cache.
  7. Where's George treats geocaching like a disease. Bills that pass through a geocache are no longer eligible for top ten/twenty lists on their site, and some Georgers think they "should" be excluded from side games, like being found in a new county or state. Once in a cache, forever tainted.
  8. Too bad. I have used it within the last couple of weeks.
  9. Does he remember what email address he was using? Recover password or username Is this it? gramps+zach . This user has no logs.
  10. The northernmost cache in the lower 48 states is Fort St. Charles cache, GC1X459.
  11. Look for an event near you. Upcoming events in Texas.
  12. What operating system? For Windows, I like 7-Zip. It is free and open source. But for Windows 7 or later, you don't even need a zip/unzip program unless you like it better. How to unzip folders with Windows. Pretty sure than in XP, you can right-click on a zip file and "Extract all." I don't understand the second part of your question, maybe because I don't use easygps.
  13. I found the first number by going to your profile and hovering over the link "See the Forum Posts for This User." Right after profile/ is a number followed by a dash. That number is your numerical user ID used in the first URL above. The coord.info number can be found at the foot of an email you sent another user. Or you can go to https://www.geocachingtoolbox.com/index.php?page=gcCodeIdConversion . Switch it to "ID to GC code." Enter the numerical ID above. You'll get a GC number that looks like a cache number. Change the "GC" to "PR" and, voila! You have the code to use in a coord.info URL.
  14. This would work: https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?id=3802419 Or: https://coord.info/PR4HDGK
  15. Doesn't work at at all without JavaScript. Pick a page, any page. All you get is: WHEN FINDING TUPPERWARE IN THE WOODS JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH.
  16. I have not received any email notification of new messages in Message Center since September 28. I have had 7 messages since then. Three of the senders were users with whom I had not been in contact before.
  17. So, I gave the new logging "experience" a whirl today. Two problems: 1. It let me write seven logs (a mix of DNFs and "Found It"), but the eighth cache log was grayed out. I could not do anything with it, even by refreshing. 2. A photo I uploaded said it was taken the day after I logged. The log date was correct, but the photo "taken" date was wrong.
  18. I just ran across a cacher who logged discoveries on about 850 trackables on Good Friday, including one of mine. All of them say (in German), "By looking through my photos of recent events and Mega events. Greetings from Cologne!" My travel bug has never been to an event he or she attended, so I suspect a script trying possible numbers. I deleted his log on my travel bug.
  19. Update: the odd-numbered PQ finally ran fifteen hours later.
  20. It's not just you. I requested an odd-numbered PQ nine and a half hours ago, hasn't run in a month, still hasn't run today.
  21. Try this: Log in to geocaching.com Go to your profile (https://www.geocaching.com/my/) Click on Shop Arrow down to Become a Premium Member Click
  22. And plan ahead. You cannot give yourself a digital gift Premium membership.
  23. VinnieX, I suspect you are overthinking this. I changed my earlier reply to you when I noticed something about the numbers you had as your solution. Maybe set this aside for awhile, and come back to it later with fresh eyes.
  24. VinnieX, according to Groundspeak's Terms of Use, section 2.d., At the very least, please edit your post so that it does not have the "absolutely correct" numbers. geocaching.com doesn't use Degrees Minutes Seconds. Check out this page on coordinate formats. The final stage of a puzzle is supposed to be within 2 miles of the posted coordinates, unless it was listed before this guideline took effect. If there are intermediate stages, they are not subject to this distance limit, however.
