Aw heck. That's near me. Solved!

...traditional uses such as hunting, fishing, and firewood gathering and some motorized uses, continue. ...focus on removal of excess and unneeded roads, reduction of soil erosion, and restoration of native vegetation and water quality. ...Native fisheries and wildlife populations will be rejuvenated. I don't see a problem with any of that. I wish someone would step in around here. A lot of local land that was taken over by eminent domain back in the 60s is now being sold off at huge profits to influential developers. Some of the land that's being sold has parks, boat ramps, and other public resources on it. If I'm going to lose my rights to land, I'd rather it be because the land was turned into a preserve, rather than lakefront condos.

I'm pretty new to geocaching, and from Tennessee. Could you elaborate or provide links? Thanks. Back on topic: In the post 9/11 era, where everyone is suspicious, I'd have to say bridges are a no-no. There are a couple bridge caches near me, and I've avoided all but one. The one I logged was a magnetic micro on a back road bridge, but it still made me nervous. For that matter, I think most urban caches should be a no-no. There's a cache near me that I doubt I'll ever log. GCRA5A is in the skirt of the flagpole on the front lawn of the courthouse. I'm not trying to offend any cache placers, but I have to say, some areas are just off limits, and that includes bridges and overpasses.

Wow, I made a spike I'm so proud of my home-built machines. I added three PCs to the mix and more than doubled the daily output for the Geocaching group. I've only been running since late evening on the 6th. I'm eagerly waiting the next team update...

OK, I'm in...

Howdy from Tennessee. I joined December 26, got a few finds, and then it got cold. Now I lurk, my PDA and GPS loaded, waiting for the thaw. I heard about geocaching when it was still in its infancy, but never got involved. I couldn't justify the cost of a GPSr for a game. Since then the prices have come down and the accuracy has gone up. Now I am the proud owner of multiple GPS receivers. I have one on my boat (with lake maps), a bluetooth receiver for my PDA (with street maps), and a handheld (with topo maps) for geocaching. I also use the handheld, in conjunction with a gazetteer, to track down and explore trout streams in the area.

I've got three in what I refer to as a 'Haley's Comet' orbit. They only pass through about once a month, assuming one revolution of the moon is a month. I'd like to see more screen, too, and maybe enough screen to include the sun and it's gravitational effect.

Speaking of geocaching blogs... I did a search on MySpace for geocaching and came up with over 2700 users that had mentioned geocaching somewhere on their pages, having listed it as an interest, blogged about it, or included it in their blurb. What I don't understand is how it can be so big on MySpace, yet there be no geocaching groups. I think Groundspeak needs a formal presence on MySpace.

Make sure the cable runs down the back of the unit (not up towards the top of the unit). Connect the cable to the unit, plug the USB cable into your PC, then turn the GPS unit on. Won't play well with Windows 95, 98, or Millenium.

Yes

checking my number as well...
