Back off weasel, I was just making a statement and hopefully we should all keep this in perspective. If this guy gets ignored, he will go away. I spent 6+ years in law enforcement and probably would have been able to rattle his cage but to actually file charges that would stick would be a stretch. I too am not too happy about this guy coming along doing what he is doing. Just ignore him and his game and energy will run out!

All of this over a game!!!

The difficulty on the Fenway cache should be high just for pain and suffering!

Try this link..I bought two forerunner 201's from them and it got here quick. They will also beat any price on the net!! Oh, they sentme a t-shirt and cap as well.... getfeetwet

Why is it that all these poeple keep threatening to go to another site, but keep coming back?

Ask Scott Peterson. They supposedly tracked him with a GPS device before they arrested him..with a valid and proper warrant of course. Renegade Knight, That Glock will come in handy with upcoming proms and a gps device in the car...I can see the headlines now....

When I left LE full time, They had an interface cable that went into the in car cameras to give location data on the videotape as well. I like the idea of GPS location of vehicles as when with the Texas Highway Patrol, we worked one man units in the rural areas. Easy way to locate an officer you can't get ahold of in an emergency situation. There will always be negatives to your boss always knowing where you are but if you are doing the right thing, it won't matter.

My wife and I maintain a cemetary where her mother is buried out of respect for her mom and family. Kids from the adjoining property were using the cemetary for rollerblade practice. I don't think that shows respect I personally would want to know that the board had approved the cache unless it was virtual or was on the grounds, not in the graveyard area. We take alot of care to make sure that te cemetary is presentable for the families paying respect to their loved ones. That said, I believe that if respect is shown and permission is granted, you could find some pretty good history out about some cemetarys.

I'm no expert but I believe the error is in his basemap and probably cant be changed unless you get a new basemap or new software. I may be wrong though!!

Oops sorry wasn't thinking about the $ difference. I entered some coordinates the other day and found myself looking at a spot in Missouri, double check all of the above mentioned areas, if that doean't work, I'd email magellan...

Wow $500...My Meridian Gold is usually right on on the few caches that I have found...

Can you load detail maps with the direct route like the Map Send???

Geospotter, could you email your presentation to me...I am contemplating a presentation at school and at a local agency! Brand new State Park facility being built 8 miles from my house! Thanks!!

Thanks...I missed that LA geocaching event. Had to drive a bus to Heart of Spain. Ill add anothe LA cache tomorrow!!! I will take the pontoon boat tomorow, easire to work around land on!!!!

Is there a place to show that iot is a hydro cache. Im gonna place one tomorrow and want to do it right. I'm assuming that a hydrocache is one which requires crossing water to get to the cache???

Those other items you mention are tangible private property left in legal, mostly semi-private places. You don't "leave" a boat in a lake. You usually rent a slip or own a piece of land and dock it there. You don't leave a hunting stand on public property. You "lease" the rights to hunt there and if allowed, you place a stand to stalk Bambi. The car you park ?legally? at the curb is in a public place that is used for that pupose. If it is parked illegally, it is towed. A reasonable person would consider those things private but most reasonable people don't know what a geocache is. The level of a crime when it comes to theft is usually based upon its value. Where I come from, under $250 is a misdemeanor, the same as a speeding ticket. Does that reduce the value of the cache to the peron that placed it? NO. Am I going to get a warrant for that offense, NO. Are you aware that drug dealers and suppliers use roadside parks to "drop" their stashes off and pick up later? Could be a Geocache by your standard. I just believe that this all need to be put into perspective. kerouac, there was probably no danger of you being arrested, as they probably would have asked you a few questions first and once they found out what it was, it would be over with. Just don't feel comfortable posting on this topic anymore. Don't want to argue and that seems where it is going!!

Have been wanting to hide one on Toledo Bend for about the last year. I wasn't sure how many cachers would find it, or make the attempt. This is our baby

Ditto on the RAM. My SkyFi and my merigold are mounted side by side! When I take a Bus trip (me driving) I use the suction cup mount. Its excellent!!

I teach freshmen in high school and from what I have seen, the behavior doesn't even reach that level. There just seems to be alot of people itchin' for a fight on this site. I didn't have key lime pie, I had pecan and was cheering the coyboys until they started reverting to their old ways!!!

I don't know about Florida law, but I believe a cache placed in a public area where the general public has access to it does not qualify for private property. If that charge was brought to me, I would have a hard time taking that to the DA for formal charges or the judge for a warrant. That said, many geocachers consider their hard work private property, unfortunatelly, those that do not understand what this sport involves, like this guy, will do what they want. It all comes down to doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking!

I may have seen this here before but cant find it anywhere. While downloading a 60k region to my SD Card reader, my MS S&D stalls at 11%. could this be a RAM issue, I hae 512 MB... I split it into 2 regions and it did just fine. I just hate that big black line in the middle of my screen... Thanks for any help or reference to another post!

My experience with a US Fish and Wildlife Officer was as a State Trooper, when I caught him speeding, and got into a pursuit to catch him. I caught him, jailed him, called his boss, and lo and behold worked a wreck on him two weeks later. He claimed that he was under cover and on his way to an important meeting when I stopped him. He sure was surprised to find out that I found out his wife was expecting him and he was late for dinner!!! PS that card is usually left at houses where there is a search warrant served and they seize pot and nobody is home....as they always say, there are some that really make you wonder about the gene pool!!

I try to do the same..I emptied my bag the other day rebuilding a cache that had been destroyed...ook some hummingbird nectar out of a cache that I found the same day when I notied that an animal had ben eating away at the container. I guess it's like the rest of life, the only person you can get to do the right thing is yourself.

Ordered mine, Garmin just sees to be slow on shipping them!!

Ordered my wife a forerunner for her use in walking. Sounds like a pretty neat deal. We can always use it as an extra GPSR.....
