Nothing received from New York/New Jersey. It appears that the email server on geocaching.com is as blocked as a neglected outhouse in an Alabama cotton field. Wait for the floodgates to open once this gets fixed. Its happened before...

I guess I stand corrected. My webpage design program is set to check for compatibility issues in BOTH Explorer and Netscape... and it accepted BGPROPERTIES="fixed' for both.

What you need is a smooth transition. Have a look here for examples you could use as backgrounds. Using the "fixed" property prevents the background image from annoyingly scrolling up when you scroll the cache page. It is much neater. ....and it is compatible with both IE and Netscape.

I, too, avoid micro-caches in forested areas. I avoid them like the plague. A poor man's cache - that's what I say... Yet, there is a need for them in high-traffic areas or urban cache sites. Sure.

until June when the new 'version' of the V is out to purchase one. They will be unlocking the entire City Select for the whole country as a default. Currently, you can only unlock one region and the City Select has routing for the 300 biggest cities/towns.

I have no desire to keep it a secret If you wish to place a background on your cache pages, insert the following code in the beginning of your cache page description text. the BGPROPERTIES="fixed" prevents the background from scrolling when you scroll up the cache page. A little creativity will enhance your cache page...

No more toys till I pay off the credit card, but this is necessary. There were some very good options in there. I'm doing a little research on the one's you all listed thank you so much! Miles, check out this top website for all good info. about the various GPS units out there.

Actually I love his maps. I use them all the time. I give them two thumbs way up for his most informative maps around the USA and world for geocaches. I use them to search out new caches and to find places to place new ones. His maps display all the geocaches out there. Unfortunately, there was one incident where a certain geocacher placed a cache called Lake Lookout at a certain spot only to discover afterwards that there was another cache nearby with the same name! Bux!ey's map omitted the first cache accidentally and this geocacher posted a duplicate! D'oh! Nevertheless, there are people out there that haven't invented geocaching...only perfected a view of it.

Count me in...

as that option is already there... It is available after the Bug moves more than 30 miles.

is BrianSnat's excellent Pyramid Mountain Roaming cache Located in North New Jersey. The only difference to the above caches is that the new coordinates are not posted on the cache page but are controlled by an 'anchor' cache that must be seeked out before searching for the moving cache.
