Leave her home.....lol

I don't understand that about women. Why do they hate our hobbies so much? Especially when I participate in hobbies that help me stay active and even moreso, she can participate in them as well. She is the one who taught me the basics of chess and the mere mention of chess brings scowl. I was introduced to Geocaching two weeks ago and I hunt the easier ones and even got her to go on one and still, it gets her riled at the mere mention. Why are women against men doing something besides staying at home doing absolutely nothing. ESPN and Golf channel are banned. It is a genetic predisposition that women want their men to be without fun or activity. Maybe I am wrong but I am starting to think this is true.

Makes me wonder about all those adventurous moments where I thought I got away with it, I just might not have. hmmmmmmmmmm

Wow, thats what I thought but someone once debated that with them adamantly that dd mm.dec was the second most accurate and UTM was more. I was not sure how UTM worked so I had nothing to offer there but was under the impression the difference between dd mm ss and dd mm.dec was just simply a conversion. Thanks for clearing that up and hello from Columbia. See you on the GC hunts.

Which one is more accurate? dd mm.dec, deg mm ss or UTM?

I see alot of groups and individuals have had success - some incidental- in getting print media interested in writing articles about geocaching. I wonder if anyone ever approached PBS or NPR about doing something. We could play up the preparedness angle like getting familiar with GPS's and being able to use them in emergencies and the public service angles like CITO and other special events. PBS and NPR are constantly looking for stories of public interest that no one else wants to cover.

As long as they do not require a purchase or hassle cachers who do not come in and buy something, I say no problem. A national restaurant like Cracker Barrel could easily become a 'legend' in the cache world and a novelty for those of us who enjoy cache hunting and cracker barrel food. Could be an excellent way to get my wife involved in caching.

It is my ham radio call sign and since they are as unique as Social Security numbers, I use that on a lot of online groups and stuff.
