I once did that ecxact same thing...I wanted to mark his 200th cache with a speciel certificate...I knew when he was going to look for it and snuck in a few hours before with the cert.

You guys were pretty close to the Island!

quote: Hey can you SKAD us next time we're out in the woods looking for clues Funny you should say that...When I'm flying back to Comox from Victoria I drive my crew nuts..." There's a cache...There's another cache...hmmm I think there's one there" the place looks different from 2000' C2C2C

When I put my first TB on line last year, The number was visible....within 10 minutes my TB went over 20,000 miles. I learnt my lesson

I was (And still am) on the Buffalo...I would be the guy trying to hit you with Pumps and Skads!

there is this Book Crossing..or thisA Canadian bill tracking site or this US dollar tracknig site ....enjoy

look in the circle....Recognize them?

This happened yesterday at Tree Island (Close to Comox)... perhaps someone from Down Island???? 442 Squadron Races Against Tide To Aid Stranded Hikers 19 WING COMOX - Thanks to some quick action by 442 Squadron crews this afternoon, a pair of hikers are safely drying out tonight after getting caught by the tide near Denman Island. The pair were walking on Tree Island at the time. A sand bridge joins the small island to the much larger Denman Island at low tide. They were returning to Denman when they found themselves in water up to their knees. Ahead of them suddenly lay a larger, much deeper expanse of water. The men were trapped. One of the pair used his cell phone to call for help. Victoria's Rescue Coordination Centre alerted local Coast Guard units, which issued an emergency broadcast. Fortunately a Buffalo aircraft was overhead its home base at 19 Wing Comox at the time, just a few kilometres from the scene. "We heard the call and broke off our training right away," said Buffalo pilot Capt. Darren Leaker. "We were there in two minutes." After banking over the two men, the Buffalo crew dropped a smoke canister in the water, marking the scene for a zodiac from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans that was also responding to the call. At the same time, an airborne Cormorant helicopter, also from 442 Squadron, landed at Comox briefly to pick up a pair of search and rescue technicians. With its SARTechs aboard, the Cormorant flew to the scene, guided by the Buffalo's smoke. "We were ready to hoist the pair aboard, but the zodiac was quite close and was in a better position to make the rescue, so we stood off and let them get to work," said Cormorant pilot Capt. Dave Stelfox. "It's great to do a mission, but if there's a better way available, then common sense rules the day." At first, shallow water prevented the zodiac from reaching the pair. Using his vantage point above the action, Stelfox guided the craft via his radio, threading it through treacherous shoals. In minutes, Fisheries Officers retrieved the men, bringing them back to shore. "I think they were pretty glad to see us," Leaker said. "The water is quite cold this time of the year, and they weren't dressed for a swim."... I'm glad to see that they were ok... P.S. That is the Sqn I Fly with

what a great idea...If I was in TO I would go be out there

I was wondering if My TB..The Moose is Loose and ....The Hayley Hedgehog TB are still in the random draw? I guess if there is a prize for the least distance traveled, I would have that wrapped up.

check this out...Fore!...Are these special units?

I wish we could archive theads! This is embarassing!

Canada...USA...and Quebec...(inside joke)

oooooooooo Gross!!!

I would like to give the approvers (one in particular...cache-advance...)2 thumbs WAY up I have heard lots of people slag the approvers in here. I would like to tell you a good approver story...I had an idea for a series of micros that would lead you to a traditional cache...I wasn't sure of the legality (geocaching.com wise)of the whole idea so I emailed an approver that had worked on an earlier cache of mine...six emails later I submitted the caches for approval and held my breath...This morning they were all approved...I think the reason they all got approved IMHO is that I emailed the approver BEFORE I posted my caches...It may sound like commonsense but had I not checked with him first the caches would never have been approved...there are still some "grey" areas in this game so my advice is to get all the questions you have about your cache answered before you post it as you may save yourself heartache later.

I print off certificates Almost First Cert and here is a first finders Cert. I make em post card size and frame them

I live in a valley with two towns side by side...I was thinking of 6 micros (Altoids with Log book and small trade items and part of the Lat and Long for the big cache) divide them up between the towns and place them near local land marks...The final cache would be a little harder to get to...I just came back from San Diego and did 7 Altoid-like micros...they were totally different then the regular caches I was used to...They have thier own set of difficulties i.e. There were Muggles all around, they were well hidden etc...That is why I want to try this around here.

I want to do a 6 step cache where all the steps (Micros)count as a find...each cache would have part of the Lat and Long for the final cache...Its the same as a multicache except you get credit for each step.

I did that and it works great Thanx C2C2C

I just got a Clie (Yesterday) how do I use Plucker and spinner?

what program do you use to read your "pocket Quiries" on your pda...I have Mobipocket on there now and all I get is a bunch of characters.

I got my PDA ...Now what programs should I get??? its a Sony PEGSJ22 16 MB internal memory (15 MB available) Memory Stick® media expansion slot (16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 128MBx2) Jog Dial™ navigator Thanx

I was at one of my caches today and there was a gentleman at the cache site...we talked for a while and he told me that he had just come from one of my other caches and could not find it...I looked at the readout he had and noticed that it was a month or so old...I told him that I had to move the cache do to a mudslide and he should get a newer readout...( ok I told him where to find the cache )Had he freshly downloaded the readouts to a PDA he would of had the updated readout...
