OH I forgot to mention, this one is similar to the event at Fundy NP You will receive a nice coin for finding the 5 new ECO Caches,, a reward for learning something about the ecology of Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

where did the message go? GC1T5VH dates 17-18 July 2009 Cape Breton Highalnds National Park see the cache listing for more details and See you there

I will make it an easy one What and where is the highest point in Nova Scotia?

Multi path Ionospheric individual receiver Troposheric Ephemeris Atomic clock based on numerous lessons taught a fews years ago My GPSr suffers form a good 6-12 M error I don't know why but is is always different from my wife's GPSr

I suffer from PLantars Faciitis in both feet. caused by bad support in Combat boots,, The doctors tried several things, but I did not opt to any cortisone injections or surgery. I do recomend doing stretches by placing your toes up higher (on a 3 inch block or brick) and moving your knee forward, this will give some releif before a long hike,, and after too. Another thing is to use good hiking shoes with orthotics to support the arch, try to fing a high boot to support the ankle too so it won't pronate or turn in which is another problem you don't want This injury caused me to have a early retiement from the army for medical reasons but I still enjoy the nice walks and hikes I just plan the adventure a bit better and carefully place my steps,, You know it is a good day when you can get out of bed and your feet do not feel like they are tearing apart on the soles,

When did it change to WAAS? I always taught that NAVSTAR has 3 segments Ground, Space and User

ok, alot higher...... 37

I found this as I was searching for something about bananas and mosquitoes.. here is the url http://www.theedge.ca/arden/mosquito.htm Plant marigolds around the yard to reduce insecticide use. The flowers apparently give off a smell that bugs do not like. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you eat bananas, mosquitos like you. Something about the banana oil as your body processes it. Try not eating bananas for the summer and see if mosquitos are less interested. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wipe Bounce fabric softener sheets on exposed skin, especially for babies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take 100mg Vitamin B-1 tablet (Thiamine Hydrochloride) each day April through October. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vick's Vaporub (Great, provided your friends can handle the smell too!) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed about half and half with alcohol. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For mosquitoes and ticks, clear real vanilla - the pure vanilla sold in Mexico. No information on how it works with other insects. While most are good ideas I really skip bananas in the summer,, I guess I will skip the muffins from timies too I might try the B1 trick Normally I use Watkins Brand fly repellant and the best thing for after the bight is the Benadryl stick pen,, better than the "After Bite" brand We get nasty bugs all summer on Cape Breton Island so any hint in fighting these nasty lill critters is good..

I will pass the orb of curiosity over to the any one who can answer this Question" what is the name of the next person to post a question? Of course it is in two parts so make sure you can post the second part

Agreed by convention that it would be there, I was uesd for centuries by navigators to begin thier voyages/ just something that I remember for survey courses in the UK

I have a venture HC I had try to download 499 geocaches but I don't see any on the unit when I looked for them all I get is that message when I try to put anything on it now. I don't know what the software is...sorry You might have to Delete all waypoints,, then try to reload again, If you are unsure try to download all waypoints into the Mapsource program. funny things happen,,, sometimes

CLose enough, we need to move on Palladium is mined nearby but not exactly at the address,,, Your turn t_mac02 Can you elaborate on this little known fact? I studied geology at the U of O and I had no clue of this happening. You would think mining of such a rare and valuable mineral would be well known locally. Hmm now do you think I could remember where i found that?? I will look at my internet history to see if I could find it,, it was something to do with place names and geology,,

CLose enough, we need to move on Palladium is mined nearby but not exactly at the address,,, Your turn t_mac02

We flew over it earlier this month

that is the team and the location but whatis the GEOLOGICAL significance of the Address?

That's where an NHL team was buried and preserved in the stratigraphic record because they couldn't make the playoffs. OK, my real guess, is that where they quarried for the Nepean Sandstone that lines the outside of the Parliament building? Toronto? Lorne nope wrong hockey team, which has nothing to do with the question, although a hockey team does play at the location,

Hmm not the correct answer I was looking for,, but the location is correct, just need to refine the significance in the quesion

What is the Geological significance of 100 Palladium Drive?

I lived in Southern Manitoba for several years,, Lucky guess

International Peace Garden at the border of Manitoba and North Dakota??

While this on was not really a TRAIN question it had elements of Geography, and astromony in it. Kind of makes you wonder,,, But according to WIKI Prior to 1883, local mean time was used throughout North America, resulting in an inordinate number of local times. This caused convoluted regional and national train schedules. Sandford Fleming, a Canadian, proposed Standard Time at a meeting of the Royal Canadian Institute on February 8, 1879. On October 11, 1883, the heads of the major railroads met in Chicago at the former Grand Pacific Hotel[1] to adopt the Standard Time System. The new system was adopted by most states almost immediately after railroads did so and finally officially adopted by the U.S. government almost fifty years later. So you can blame us crazy Canucks for Standard Time,, whether you like it or not Have a great Geocaching day.. and don't look up when it is NOON you will be blinded by the light ,,,

Good Answer BC &MissKitty but not a very tricky question, just one that makes you think,, Local Noon can be the time of the old Gun fight, or HIGH NOON If you know your position and when 1200 hrs GMT and wait for the sun to transit (cross over) your Zenith (the point on the Celestial Sphere directly above you) you will know when LOCAL NOON is. So it can be defined as the exact time the Sun crosses your meridian of Longitude. So that describes the WHEN and WHERE. Each Meridian of Longitude has it's own LOCAL NOON, which really made trouble when trying to make trains meet their scheduled arrival times many years ago, and hence the Canadian Invention of Standard Time. YOur Turn

ok Here is an easy one What and Where is "LOCAL NOON"?

Joseph Armand Bombardier for the Motorized tobaggan aka a dogsled with an engine Correct! (SkiDoo/Snowmobile etc). Back to you stagunner. HAHAHAAHA LMAO I got it???? OK a new one in a bit let me think,,,,
