Ohh the mystery... I hope s/he doesn't steal taglines or quotes

Or online for free at topozone. There's a link to it from every cache page.

Woo hoo to Love<3. I hear that she got #200 at the Garmin event yesterday.

Hmmm, a remote controled potato mortar??

Not on Amazon. I just bought the NT version today for $105 the non-NT version was $108.

This has likely been answered many time before but I would like to know also? Anyone care to summarize the differance? Edit: Never mind I found the answer in the pinned FAQ

Looks like woodpeckers to me. They must have really liked that tree!

The King County iMap viewer displays Thomas Brothers page, row, and column if you enable them under "Referance Layers". And it's free.

I hope that the team made the parks people aware that Geocaches are only one type of cache and that the others were not represented and may not be aware of the policy (e.g. terracaches, navicaches, letterboxes). If not then GC may take the blame for any non-GC caches in the park.

After it happened to me some buddies placed this cache. I thought "no they didn't...". I know it's serious but you just gotta laugh.

I think someone is a bad influnce. Now where is my frisbee

How does 21.42 ZAR sound? ($3.15 USD) Ouch is that per liter or Gallon? Oh yeah, forgot about that conversion. $3.15 per US gallon. 5.66 ZAR per liter

How does 21.42 ZAR sound? ($3.15 USD)

Well the Redhook brewery near Kirkland is right across from the Ste. Michelle winery (along with oters)

Be careful the water might freeze before getting over to the other boat.. You could put an eye out Have fun and stay warm!!

Haha, I've done that too. But only when I'm sure that they are cachers. Otherwise I go with the "Did you find it" question. I like the follow up for the muggles of "Oh it just seemed you were looking for something".

I like the humor! BUT, technically the S in GPS stands for system. Your photo was of a satellite. You are absolutely right. I stand corrected. Of course they didn't find the whole system hanging from a tree either I guess I'll go crawl back into my hole and stop talking about stuff I don't really understand

I was just trying to add some humor along with the heat.

And I don't want my tax money paying for scraping your body off the highway, or providing your life support with my insurance rates. Did you sign a waiver saying that you were "UNPREPARED" for the risk of riding on a highway? You would be just as unprepared as they were. Otherwise you should have had armor all around the motorcycle with 100 airbages inside, and collision detection sensors front back and sides, and flashing lights all around so people could see you, and, and , and.... Yes I went ahead and pressed send instead of delete. My bad! BTW, I cannot think of any SAR groups that are not totally comprised of volunteers. Not that there aren't some expenses reimbursed with tax funds. And of course the sheriff's time and any helicopter time provided by the government.

and they kept hearing "turn right in 300 feet" OT: they made it off the mountain. thanks SAR everywhere. Technically a GPS would be very easy to spot hanging from a tree. More likely it would be sitting on top of a sheared off tree. They look like this: Now a GPSr looks more like this: But what they found looks more like this:

Not to belabor the point but the GPSr has only been around for a handful of years. Mountaineers claimed all the summits without them. Is climbing dangerous? You bettcha, so is driving a car. Can you manage the risk? You sure can, that's what the ten essentials are all about. Do I stuff everything I could possibly use into my pack? No way, that's where judgment comes into play. Would I climb without my GPSr? No way, but then I already own one and I know how to use it.

I saw the video. It was a short length of steel pipe with caps screwed on each end. No one should ever construct a cache container like that! Not that it hasn't happened before, but finders usually will flag it as a problem.

What I meant is the event terrain doesn't require a 5 rating.

The cache link is way above. Here is another for GC-PNWSAR2. Note that they were almost all the way down when they camped next to the geocache. They did everything they were supposed to. Including building a shelter for the night. White out conditions can disorient even the most experienced climbers. These guys would have made it out fine. The only reason SAR was out there is because they did another right thing and told someone when to expect thier return. When they didn't return she did the right thing and called the sheriff. Sure they would have done better with a GPS... and a furnace, refrigerator, some cold beer.
