Thank you very much for this info- should help nicely! finallyfree

Hi. Just wondering if there's any way to enable a listing that I archived about 2 weeks ago. I archived the cache too soon, and later realized that it's actually a good place to have a cache. Thanks for your help!!

Hi! Just placed our first cache last night, and a fellow cacher found it today. 2 questions: 1. How to I recognize the FTF cacher on the cache page? 2. How do I let geocaching.com know about the FTF so that he gets credit for it in his stat's? Thanks for your help! Larry

Great idea! I've been in some pretty thick leaves myself lately. A metal detector would have been mightily appreciated- thanks for the idea!

Wow! Thanks for the hilarious and informative responses! I was so excited to get out there and find a treasure that I went ahead and purchased a unit today. Last night I found out a little more about using the Pocket PC and decided that it just might not last so long out on the trail. I really appreciate the info., however, and the laughs as well!!! Speaking of rental cars... I recall about 21 years ago, my dad, some friends, & I were hunting in S. Texas, and had rented a Station Wagon. We were amazed at how this thing was drinking gas (we thought). Turns out we'd put a hole in the gas tank while going over some pretty rough terrain (I can see them now- those sandy, rough trails, with very "high" centers!). And I don't know where we found it, but we used some sort of sticky, gum-like substance, to patch the tank. And Dad probably "forgot" to mention this incident to the rental co. when returning the wagon!

Wow! I'm just getting started also, and am trying to find a good deal on a Garmin unit. Do you mind sharing with me where you've found such good prices? Thanks! Larry

Hello Kazion, When you say, "proper cables", are you referring to cables that can be used to transmit data from a pocket pc to a gps unit? The reason I'm asking is because I have a pocket pc (for my job) and am considering purchasing a Garmin Legend cx (I'm new to the sport, and am pretty excited!). Both machines, as far as I know, have the "small" inlet for a USB cable. How do I remedy this situation so that I can download waypoints from my pocket pc to the gps unit? Thanks for your time! Larry

Hello. New to the sport and have been learning the language the last few days. I decided to purchase a Garmin Legend cx, but then I started thinking (Oh no!)... My job provides me with a Pocket Pc (brand new unit, with AllTel, I believe). Do I need to purchase a separate GPS unit like the one mentioned above, or can I just somehow use the Pocket PC for my geocaching fun? I suppose that by becoming a Premium geocaching.com member I can receive e-mails to my pocket pc regarding new caches nearby, as well as log on the internet to find out about local ones whereever I may be. Do you know of any other uses for the pocket PC that I'm not considering? Also- My pocket pc has the USB hookup (for the small end of the cable) just like (I presume) the GPS units have (also the small end of the USB cable inlet). Is there an adaptor or perhaps a cord with 2 "small" ends to use, in order to download waypoints into a GPS unit from the pocket PC? So many questions.... just pretty excited! Thanks for your time, Larry
