Just wanted to wish everybody Happy New Year and push you to check out NWFGeocaching.com if you live anywhere from Pensacola to Panama City and beyond... Check it out and thanks! www.nwfgeocaching.com

I set up a google group for Northwest Florida geocaching long before I knew about a Yahoo NWF Geocaching site. So, it's just been sitting since there was a group created already. NWF Geocaching on Yahoo is not there anymore for some reason, so I just wanted to keep dialog going with us cachers between Pensacola and Panama City. I'd like to invite you to it and join in. http://www.nwfgeocaching.com Right now it's just me, so I need your help to jump in and give it a boost. Thanks for all your help! All the best, -Todd aka GravelShot http://www.nwfgeocaching.com

Is there a way to search archived caches... I dug around with no luck. Thanks!

The Cache reviewers are true angels! Thanks for pulling this crappy one.. no pun.

I use the 2500 rechargeables like you're talking about and they work great for me. I have to recharge about once a month and I use my GPS often. I always make sure they sit on the charger for 24 hours.

I went to find a geocache on Eglin last week and called the number to check the FPCON status. The recorded message says that the recreation permits will be going up to $10 for the new fiscal year starting 10/1/07. You can start buying the new year permit on 09/19/07. FYI...

I have a new geocoin I want to send over to Europe. Before I send it out, I wanted to see if anybody in the Ft. Walton Beach area might be traveling to UK or Europe soon and would please let my geocoin tag along with you to be placed on the other side of the pond. Thanks! Todd Team GravelShot

samirsky, I've tried for the past month to get a hold of Erica at Jackson Guard... how'd you do that? I was trying to put a CITO event together there, but I have given up. I am still working on a location, but it may have to be pushed back from the April 14th date because of the slow/no response from the base. Thanks!

I got an email this morning suggesting that the reservation caches should be listed "members only." Sounds like a good idea. Do you think that would help? Thoughts?

Wow! This explains why I've had so much trouble setting up a "cache in trash out event" there. Nobody will return my calls!! I see why now! I'm really bothered at geocachers who won't follow the rules on this. It's $7 bucks... if you own a GPS, you can afford to get the permit. Get it done! I love geocaching on the reservation with my wife (who also has her own permit) and children. My favorite geocache, "Turkey Creek Still," is on the reservation. I'd hate to see this privilage get banned because of lazy and inconsiderate geocachers. I love sgtsue's suggestion about holding an "Obtain a permit" event. The new passes start on 10/1/07. We need to spread the word... Geocache owners, if you have a cache on the reservation, add the link about the annoyed guards and put in bold that "geocachers may lose the privilage to geocache if they break the rules and not get a permit" on your geocache page. Let's work together and not let this great place to geocache go away.
