My song changes depending on how long it took to find the cache.
does the song sometimes inlcude muttering and grumbling?????
Yes, the longer it took to find the cache, more of it there is. Sometimes #$@& are mixed in with it.
-
why dosen't geocaching have a notification area where they can send new geocache coordinates to your cell phone via txt message.
Well, there is this: "Instanotify" Notification Service.
I have email on my phone so it's Kind of the samething....
Same here. I've gotten at least 2 FTFs with it.

I'm tiring to get it to work on my Blackberry 8330.

Take a look and see whats new.

My buddy sold the GPS the day after I 1st saw this post. Sorry.
-
Not to use as a long-term solution?? my 8330 is not my main GPSr. Its a info organizer and helps my keep track of my finds and DNFs. Just retired my Garmin GPS V for a DeLorme Earthmate PN-40.

I have the same phone. I'm using Geocache Navigator with it. Not only does it work great. But you can find caches where ever you go. Its link right into the GC.com data base for up to date caches info. I got a few FTFs just by being in the right area at the right time and happen to check to see what caches were near by. I check for near by caches where ever I go.
P.S. I use it on the Sprint network.
-
I think my buddy may have one for sell. When I see him on Monday I'll ask him.
-
I just got a 8GB one off of e-bay for $16.50. But same as Jeep4two said, check the max your unit can handle.
-
If this thread makes anyone to have the urge to sell there PN-40 and get something else, Let me know. I'll be in the market for a PN-40 in the next week or so.
-
It could be the the PN-40 has faster chips so it gets you to GZ as fast as you walk up to it.
-
I did find the PN-Series Comparison Chart PDF..... http://www.delorme.com/library/hardware/PN...arisonChart.pdf
-
Must be really new! I didn't find it at all on the Delorme web site.
-
Isn't the 10th anniversary of geocaching coming up in 2010? Is there anything big planned by Groundspeak or anybody else in HQ?
Beer and brats at my place.
I'll be there! Lets start a list
-
I have one cache that I took large washer and forced it between the seat plank and the up-right. That holds my magnetic nano just fine.
-
Looking for other's with 4x4 trucks to make a run for the the Lingham Lake, Bushwacker caches.
The 4x4 club trail rides are not really for geocaching. (Very muggly indeed)
Just finding a few off-roaders to cache with would be great. I did On a wing and a Prayer with just my truck
(I wasn't alone...) but... I should obey the cardinal rule of off roading - Never go alone. I lived closer and my truck was a 4X4, I would be up for it
Sorry, cheap bump

I always carry a Tick Spoon. Once again, Google fails me in this thread. Google images returns pictures of The Tick shouting his war-cry...During peak tick season I always have a roll of cellophane tape (e.g. Scotch). The tape works great for grabbing the ticks off my clothes, and I can count how many I nabbed at the end of the hike.
...but I'm talking about one of these:
It pops those embedded ticks off like nothing! Linky
Oh, I'm sure others have noticed already, but even up here in NH, we've already got ticks out. Snow's not even gone yet...
I just ordered 2. Thanks for the link.
P.S. they are having a summer special, buy 1, get 1 free.

Someone wrote to me how she used a bobby pin to roll nano logs quickly. I would imagine you would need to take off the ends so it doesn't grip the paper when tight but has anybody else used that?
-HHH
That is exactly what I am planning to use. The wife will donate one, I'll take it down to my woodworking shop and fashion a small handle on the end. If it turns out well I will make a big batch of them and leave them as swag.
I've made the same basic item out of paper clips. Nice to have with you when you're having a all thumbs day
-
50 miles, 5 stages is the longest one I ever came across. Got FTF on it to boot!!!
-
When is its opening? Or was it?
-
CellSensor EMF Detection Meter - made to detect cell phone radiation and electromagnetic fields but can be used to locate those tiny little magnetic nanos. Shhhhh don't tell
Thats tooooo cool
Just ordered one though Amazon.com. Thanks!! Just an update..... I just used my EMF Detection Meter to help me find a magnetic cache that I didn't find on my 1st trip out to it
-
