  1. I proposed this weekend while geocaching as well. I used Garmins software to plot Marry Me in giant letters and saved the points to the GPS. I created a fake cache page listing all of the points and a set of clues. I took along 3 friends that wanted to learn how to geocache and let them do a cache first. Then we gave her the GPS and told her to work this one. It took her about 15 minutes to complete it. I planted a microcache at the last set of coordinates under a picnic table that had a piece of paper in it saying "zoom out on the GPS". I had turned on the track log so it spelled out the "Marry Me" on the screen. By the time she figured out what it said, I was beside her on a knee holding the ring. :rolleyes:

     

    Everyone loves the way I did it so I am happy. I may go and plant a real cache at the site as a memorial.

  2. Hey all,

     

    First post here on the San Diego thread. Thought I'd try this out.

     

    I agree with Parsa, there may be some caches after these rains that will be seriously water logged and in need of maintenance. Some containers are better than others. I ran a weather test in my backyard (read: sprinkler) to see if certain containers were actually water tight. To my suprise I actually found that some rubbermaid "snap" container (like tupperware) still let in drips of water. I have ended up using "screw on cap" containers (Walmart, Rubbermaid, clear plastic jar, white cap, various sizes) that seal well. I've found the disposable "gladware" container to be "dry season" only containers and degenerate quickly once exposed to the elements.

  3. Blast! I can't seem to get rid of / delete this topic ... grrr ... B)

     

    Any help here? Do I simply wait until the topic becomes old and no one posts and it goes "off the board"? I know that I can "close" the topic so that no one else can post, but that doesn't seem to accomplish what I want to do ...

  4. Please go to one called: Keeping it a Secret (GCEBF9). I placed a TB out at this one while on my honeymoon in Oct and it has not moved. The TB is called Keychain Colony. I guess this cache site is to secret! It's a nice secluded beach to hang out at.
