  1. Having just done the same thing, all I have to say is good luck even finding someone at AOL who WILL cancel your account. They hate that with a passion and will do ANYTHING to keep you talking until you change your mind. I'd love to hear another person's experience with that process.
  2. Uh oh. There's a guy in the Protocol thread claiming that geocachers trample vegetation. Pile on! Get him, burn the heretic!
  3. Yeah, one of the TB's I linked to (mine) didn't make it out of its second cache. Oh well, it was an experiment anyway.
  4. Go to your profile page, you can add an image there. http://www.geocaching.com/my/details.aspx
  5. Like this? http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=185275 And this? http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=215795
  6. I have one puzzle cache and I'd guess about a third of the people who have logged finds were tag-alongs. Fine by me.
  7. I'll answer the question a bit differently than some others. It doesn't matter if I need OR want 2500 caches, or whether I aggregate the info offline or just like to read it around the clock. The point is, that's the package that was sold to me, and that's what I expect to be "in the box". If I buy a box of a dozen donuts, I don't expect to find eight donuts inside when I get home because the donut machine couldn't make as many donuts as customers were requesting. The current problems are a minor annoyance to me personally, and I'm confident that the Grounspeak crew is doing their best to get things corrected, after all, as a business, it's in their interest to satisfy their customer base. In the long run, if there are no good solutions, I'd rather have the PQ benefits reduced (say to three a day instead of five) and have everything work smoothly, that to have something advertised and sold that just isn't realistic, regardless of the cause. This is the best answer I've heard yet to the standard question, "Why do you need all these PQ's?" Well said.
  8. Yeah, I noticed that after I posted the image. Did a local turn you on to the game?
  9. Get an All Found PQ emailed to you, unzip it and drag that file into the Temporary Places area on the left side of Google Earth. Then click File then Save Image. Like this:
  10. I recently bought the LL Bean version of this pole / monopod. I like it a lot. Very sturdy, very light. For use as a monopod it extends to about 70 inches, which is longer than most trekking poles.
  11. OP, feel free to log my caches any time you want, online, offline or otherwise.
  12. The Difficulty of the hide and the Terrain near the hide.
  13. Eh, the truth hurts. If it's a crappy cache then it's a crappy cache.
  14. I'm thinking you might want to look up the definition for penultimate.
  15. Here's a quick, easy and free program that does just that. For IE only... http://www.iespell.com/
  16. I don't know how y'all do things way up there in Canada but around here the Coast Guard would have an absolute FIT if you put anything on one of their Nav markers.
  17. Tents don't kill people, people kill people.
  18. Since you specified 'selected caches on the search page', here's one way to do that. Sorta. Create a bookmark list, name it anything, add your selected caches to it (top right of the cache page), then have a PQ of your bookmark list emailed to you. They usually show up in your mailbox in just a few minutes. You still have to go to each cache page to do it this way but at least it's all one .gpx file rather than many .loc files. Hope this helps...
  19. Let the record show that Erik absolutely ROCKS. (When he's not clicking, that is.)
  20. Here's a way to do this that doesn't require Pocket Querys... Fill out the cache submission form just like normal, enter all the info, including the name, coordinates, state, difficulty and terrain. No need to put anything in the Short or Long Description yet, other than perhaps 'Testing', or XXs, if you want. Now, UNCHECK the box that asks: Yes, this listing is active (For new listings, if you want to work on this listing before it is reviewed, uncheck this box. Reviewers will only see the listing in the queue when it is checked.) Now, click on the two disclaimers at the bottom and submit the cache. Lastly, on the cache page you just created, under the 'Hints' section, you'll see a series of hyperlinks like this: Find... ...other caches hidden or found by this user ...nearby caches of this type, that I haven't found ...all nearby caches, that I haven't found ...all nearby waymarks on Waymarking.com ...all nearby placenames ...all nearby benchmarks ...all nearby hiking trails from Trails.com Click on the 'Find all nearby caches' and you will see a listing of every cache in the immediate area, including Member's Only caches, sorted by distance in feet (if less than .1 mile) and sorted by .1 mile increments (if greater than .1 mile). If the nearest cache shows up as less than 524 feet then it's too close (obviously) and your new cache will not be allowed on this site. But, if the nearest cache is .1 mile or more away, then edit the cache and CHECK the box that asks: Yes, this listing is active (For new listings, if you want to work on this listing before it is reviewed, uncheck this box. Reviewers will only see the listing in the queue when it is checked.) And submit the cache as usual. Done.

  22. When you become a premium member you can get Pockey Querys which are available as a .gpx file. Open that file with GSAK. From GSAk you can send the waypoints to the GPS and export all the cache page information to your PDA. The links Miragee posted will get you there.
  23. You may have found a letterbox. Or a cache listed on another geocaching site.
  24. Any chance one of the 'finders' names begins with Z?
  25. The Georgia Geocacher Association's site. http://ggaonline.org/eve/ubb.x
