The Pineberries

What exactly is useful for a reviewer? Do I write exactly where the caches are? I'm sorry if this is a noob question, but we are noobs, this is our first hide.

Thank you! I believe it was archived from muggling, but the place where the cache was, (I checked, I have that type of time,apparently) was rather sparse for hiding places.

Can you place (not replace) a cache around the area where a cache used to be if the previous cache has been archived? And is there a wait time or do you need to ask someone? (Local Reviewer.)

So, I guess it's okay? I hope you can't get in trouble for have a team in different regions. Thanks all.

A team member is moving out of state, can they still be in the team or do they have to get their own account? Thank you.

Okay, Thanks so much.

Oh, we worked the first three stages the usual way, it's just the last coords that are giving us trouble.

Do you mean geographic coordinates? At any rate... Your eTrex 10 should accept the geographical coordinates needed to find a cache. Those final stage coordinates format should appear identical to those of other stages, aside from the specific digits. In the northern part of the western hemisphere, they would appear as: N XX xx.xxx W XXX xx.xxx. This is Decimal Minute Format. How is it that you obtained the third stage coordinates? Given... as found in the second stage; or computed yourself by stage clues? Showing us a sample of the coordinates (format, or layout) would go a long way in helping to answer the question. I looked at your geocaching Finds, and see http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC72B_pine-trailhead-multi-cache , but that is only a two-stage cache. You really should find the final stage before marking it as "Found". Ok, we HAVE NOT logged the multi that we are working on which is a four stage Lonelycache. I'm not sure if they're Celestial coords, but the coords look like the examples given. Here's a example: 00* 00'0.00"N 00* 00'0.00"W

I'm working a multi-cache, and the third stage's coords are different than the first two, there are not enough spaces to enter the coords. Is there a way to change the format to accept the third stages coords? Or is there a way to simplify them so they fit?

Okay, that helps, thank you. How do I log a drop off or pick up of a TB when the hotel doesn't come up on my map? Then what exactly do I do with pathtags? I have two from recent caches, do I just move them along to another cache? (I did log them on the pathtag website.)

I found one today, and was wondering what the protocol was for the TB's and GeoCoins inside. Do Pathtags count?

That's a good point, all I want is something more accurate than my old car gps.

I had to read that post about six times to get all that. Thank you, Capt. Bob, that helps , so what's a good ratio for signal to noise?

Thanks all! This info helped.

Hello there, I need some advice on a good gps unit, and after spending many hours on Amazon and BassPro review sites, I thought "who better to ask than other 'catchers'". Here's what I'm looking for: MOST IMPORTANT: Good signal in moderate to dense tree cover. (I live in a pine forest.) Good battery life, minimal of 6 hours run time. Rugged, but it doesn't have to be water proof. I don't want to spend more than $250. I'd rather have buttons over touchscreen. Thanks.
