Same here! I am 65 years old and retired I now hike for a lot of caches for good old exercise. I bike now and then as well. I do not take anything from caches except TB to pass on. And, I do pass them on. I feel guilty if I hang on to them too long. I set up a Trackable Cache near my local airport with the express purpose of getting some TBs moving! I noticed that a lot of them were just moving around town, or nearby rural areas, and not really going anywhere or logging any miles. Out of the 19 that have been placed in my cache, only 4 are in other caches as of yesterday. People get them and then I guess they just start a collection. If it doesn't SAY collectable, move it along! I've been doing this less than two months. I shouldn't even have a pet peeve yet! My pet peeve is getting messages from amateur sleuths that accuse me of taking a trackable and not logging it.

OK, I have the CD's, so I should be able to use it for both, correct? Thanks for the assistance...

I currently have a Magellan Explorist 500 with the Topo software, and would like to upgrade to the XL but keep the 500 going. I have heard and read alot of conflicting info on using the Topo software on both units, and have heard all of the horror stories about contacting Magellan to answer the question. So, hoping someone on here can help me out on this.... ALostTexan

So, are you able to install either the MapSend or Topo software onto more than 1 unit? I currently use a Magellan Explorist 500, I am looking at upgrading to the XL, but not sure if I will have to repurchase the Topo software if I do so. Help me out on this one, please!!!

I have found it is just a bit cheaper than heroine. But not by much... ALostTexan

I am quite interested. PM Sent...

Can't wait to put out a few Jeeps and watch them disappear less than a week after they are released. Seriously, I have never owned one of these TB's, but I have noticed that they are the most stolen TB's out there, which is just sad. I have found one, moved it on, and I believe it was stolen very soon afterwards... ALostTexan

I got really lucky, or better, I just paid attention on the Groundspeak forum around Christmas and picked up a 500 WITH the topo software for under $200. I love it, and find even more uses for it everyday... ALostTexan

I did my first "Night Cache" today, and it was great. It was not just doing a cache at night, but was a true night cache, totally reliant on reflectors and flashlight. It was great, and I would love to do more like it... ALostTexan

I am wanting a challenge for a travelbug that I have laying around that needs to go somewhere. I am challenging someone in an East Coast state, to a travelbug race to see who can get a bug within 5 miles of me. I am willing to put up an non-activated Geocoin, probably a Great Smokey Mountains National Park Stamp, as the wager. You have to place the bug within 5 miles of your home coordinates, as will I, as early as tomorrow. Anyone up for it? First to PM me about it will have the challenge, so let me know what you are willing to put up as a wager. I think this will be fun. ALostTexan

I live in Southern Arizona, which is full of ghost towns. I might be able to get some info on them and participate... ALostTexan

Looks like I have one challenge so far, anyone on the East coast up for the challenge? ALostTexan

BINGO!!!!

I picked up some small spiral notepads at Wallyworld today for $0.25 each, and some pens 10/$0.48. Those, with some extra baggies is about as far as I will go... ALostTexan

"Looking for a different route. The highway was jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive." Anyone? Anyone?

I am both new to Tucson and to Geocaching, so this thread is great. Going to try a few this weekend... ALostTexan

Originally, Charter Members were guaranteed to keep the same membership price as long as they kept up their memberships. But sometime recently this benefit was given to all Premium Members. Now I think the only additional benefit is the complimentary "Jelly of the Month" gift subscription. "Clark, that's the gift that keeps giving the whole year 'round" - Cousin Eddie

I, too, can just see some angry coin collector showing up at someone's home demanding that their stolen coins be returned... ALostTexan

How do you search for the "Member's Only" caches? ALostTexan

Got a holiday coin and a "Cache Hiker" coin... ALostTexan

You should have taken off running with one hand in your pocket. Then you could have seen some real excitement... ALostTexan

I love this idea. I have made a CD that I have made of some of my favorite songs. I burned the songs, printed a little label that has my email addy and a "Happy Geocaching" reminder. I thought that this was more of something that I would like to get... ALostTexan

Either way, it simply sucks. Sorry for you bad luck, Triryche... ALostTexan

Well, I am close to starting. I have been interested in caching for a little while, but never had a GPS. Well, I got my 500LE today, and look forward to actually starting this weekend... ALostTexan
