  1. I could care less about the support of it/them all - some of the paid heavies are very tight crackwise - but one would be missing out on the downloading of caches in 1000 loads and not by way of nit-picking a few at a time in a list or bookmark... that is worth 2.50 a month for me. And no goofy ads to mull over... I log for my kids here and there and they can get quite annoying when you are used to it. I dont know why we have PMOC's but I dont understand half of the rules and changes that Seattle makes but just let it go (well not today but most of the time.)
  2. Just delete adopted by log that gets set and then just edit the cache and say whatever name you want. The log from the adoption is deletable. Yeah but then it says "adopted by" and we don't want that. only if you want it to say that - the text is totally up to you and is not forced.
  3. Lots of great caches up there under the rock walls... wish there was more but then again, climbing is what its all about there... Heading back there on the 28th of October... I CANT WAIT!!! I want to try High E and finish Gelsa and just enjoy the Fall and the beauty of being up above it all.
  4. I am going back to the Gunks at the end of October (Next Sunday) to do some climbing... Wish I knew how to grab that PMCx final.... WOO HOO!!!
  5. I had fun on a couple of the FTF runs... we got greedy and miffed some folks but then O-Reviewer got into the action and slowed them all down. I think when he had help reviewing, things popped out much faster... I had a great time finding these and even looking for the ones that werent activated... we found like 3 but spent an hour or so looking in obvious places... Thanks for the cachers (They have to be cachers, no group could place that variety without seeing a bunch first...) I live too far away to go back every time they pop but it was fun in the beginning, now I just want to ride it all when they finally do come out and number away!!! Thanks SRT Group... you have added some fun around here.
  6. It should be a 13-13-13 at 13:13:13:13 in January...24 hour month and time...
  7. I got Platinum in '08 mostly cause of Cav... got to live a summer in KY and he had some amazing EC's al around there... Now I am into rock climbing and wish I could go back live in KY again. EC's became a new love for me but they are slim pickins up here in Philly but I have a letter of approval from the Cascade Mountain Rangers for as many as I can place and am working on a bunch out there. I grew up in Seattle and my favorite place to hike and play is on the coast of Washington in the Cascades... Love this stuff. Thanks Cav for providing so much education, fear and fun.
  8. I am a Youth Pastor in Philadelphia. We moved into the hood to reach out to urban teens and have been here for 15 years. Geocaching gets me out into the woods (Once I leave the city) and I love those two parts of life quite a bit... but I love the family I have the most... Thanks for connecting all of us.. Nice.
  9. I have had also no problems - here is what you can do... I have even taken mine off, washed them real well and resprayed after months and placed them back on and had no ill effect... I would take it off - spray it really well as you do, and reapply as stated above... Good luck.

  11. College campuses are littered with caches in Kentucky and in PA... We love the to find them and there are so many peeps all around that you are bound to get questioned some time... we get questioned a lot and just talk about an online scavenger hunt or were practicing for the amazing race audition or we are geocaching... they normally believe the amazing race thing before the geowhating? College campuses are fun but just think about the placement as you would any other so people dont cram their annoyance down your throat.
  12. Yeah I miss the days when my 60CSx (RIP) would tell me all about the cache listing - Yeah Right... I could get it to cough up abbreviations of D/T FFFF and hints but to POI the whole cache page was like dufus... If this unit gets people excited about caching, thats great. My son is tired of following the arrow... and he finds them before I do as my face is stuck in the unit. People get crazy around here... its almost like when micros got started and all the old codgers had to complain about each and everyone one of them ruining their game...(Wait, they still do that...) Things evolve and people move on... if you dont like the weather, go inside and leave it to someone else...
  13. I just took an older l shaped auto adapter from a different Garmin and bent it, put some shrink wrap black tubing on it and now I have a seriously easy to use auto adapter instead of the lame L shape... I made two of them and they work great... just BEND SLOWLY with two pliers and you get like a 70-80 degree addition to it and its all good.
  14. I am about to hide a couple of these little butes... lightweight floam and part of a 35mm canister... just like the rocks on the side of a rocky river... I thought GC.com would resize them but the blackberry is all I gots right now... these are like .1 oz... Thanks COTG
  15. Wow, that was really cool how they used an old GPSr as the cache... I hadnt thought of that... Just kidding...
  16. Seems like it would be easy but timely to catch them in the act... get a couple of buddies together, replace two caches that were groped and close together and do a stake out... just dont bludgeon them to death when you catch them but scare the pee right out of them... Maybe put out a "Grope This" cache.
  17. What would be the current call on an ALR cache that was a challenge to find 100 events before logging? Obviously I ignored it and still plan on ignoring it as I am not even a 1/3 way there in 3 years... There is one like that in our area and I doubt it fits the challenge decision that 1) the owner could do it themselves, 2) that a substantial number of people could log it... - Like 3 folks in our area... 100 Events
  18. Great... around here.. people would just sling crudd on my ratings just because I am me... it would have little to do with how the cache was or wasnt... people would sling mud just like on this forum... its an online game and people treat each other pretty much without much regard online. Wow, it would be funny to see who was hated to the most in their area ....
  19. Thank you Miss Jenn and the others - I am sure you thought thru this carefully and weighed a ton of arguments... Grab your bottle of Tylenol and take a break from reading for a while. Bravo. I have some ignored caches to un-ignore now... and I wont look like a total idiot now, just a normal idiot.
  20. Sweet the map redraw is back and fast as it was a couple of updates ago... cant wait to get out and see if reception is better than 30-40 feet off... sucked with urban micros and hiding caches... but I hope its better...
  21. Just a guess on my part, but maybe he wanted FTF hopefuls to not know if it was found yet? I wait to log my FTFs just for this reason. I'm sneaky that way. I just got yelled at for doing that... Parking lot late night cache and I was up so I FTF'd - some kid went out the next day in the snow and got mad that I had not signed in online... less than a day and people get itchy and B!

  23. Took a little bit to learn the workarounds and why it did certain things but I love it too and I think it is so much nicer as it doesnt spin around when stopped even with the compass is off. Crazy great and I love it.
  24. I would just say that some people just need to lighten up on themselves and enjoy life no matter how it comes... being too tight on anything can cause the "No fun" syndrome...
  25. Another interesting encounter was with this "cache guardian." Yes, that is the cache the snake is resting on . . . That is really cool... we had an encounter with a baby diamondback in PA just like that...
