+Landsharkz Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 jacket of arms? If it will save us from any more like this Am I allowed to answer this one or is that considered having inside information? maybe you better! I don't think it's 'insider information' more like greater knowledge on these matters . Quote Link to comment
+2happy2gether Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 It's the Tri-Service Crest. The crossed swords represent the Land element, Albatross represents the Air element and the anchor represents the Sea element. The "three services" of the Canadian Forces. The crown represents the current monarch, in this case, it's the Queen's crown, and the maple leaves represent the other symbol of Canada, the Maple Tree (not the beaver). Each element has its own service dress and, in the case of the Navy (sea), they also have their own rank structure. The old RCN (Royal Canadian Navy), RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) and Army joined forces in 1967 to become the Canadian Armed Forces. The CAF was later changed to CF due the the "Armed" portion of the title being seen as too aggressive (or so the myth goes). If it goes by another name then perhaps someone with much more time in can enlighten us to that name. Those names do not include the cornflake or the golden pineapple... Quote Link to comment

+2happy2gether Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 How many metres above sea level is the highest elevation on PEI? Let's say to the nearest 10m...? Quote Link to comment
QuigleyJones Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I would say one but instead I'll say 111m Quote Link to comment
+ElectroQTed Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Well, I guess we creep it up 10m at a time now. I'll say 121m. Quote Link to comment
+KD_cachers Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I think it is about 550 feet, which if I converted correctly should be about 167m Quote Link to comment
+2happy2gether Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 It's somewhere in the middle of the last two answers. Closest by 10m gets it. Quote Link to comment
+Couparangus Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 Although I didn't use any online tools, I did resort to some SRTM data. I found 124m ASL. Quote Link to comment

+knitter Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I would never have remembered Schomberg. It's Friday, it's supposed to be a top-notch weekend weatherwise for caching, so I don't want to tie anyone down to their computers. An easy question: What's the name of the lowest (deepest? as in, altitude) geocache in existence? Quote Link to comment
+TOMTEC Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 What's the name of the lowest (deepest? as in, altitude) geocache in existence? Could it be Rainbow Hydrothermal Vents (GCG822)? After almost 5 years it still remains unfound... once I win the lottery and have time to kill, I may just have to make the trip down to visit. TOMTEC Quote Link to comment

+TOMTEC Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Is it bigger than a breadbox? Well, that depends, how big is your breadbox? The cache is listed as a "Small" container, and is rated a 5/5 but considering the climb and amount of time you would need to invest, it will probably stay unfound for a long time.

Greywynd Actually, the original cache owner passed away a few years ago in a climbing accident, so it's been adopted by another cacher... Besides, someone would have to actually summit and try searching for the cache to discover if any maintenance is required in the first place... Ok, if nobody knows the name, how about the general location? TOMTEC Quote Link to comment

+gillingham Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 the caches name is Chomolangma GCP7JV Highest cache in the world Once you get to Tibet, acclimatize for 4-5 weeks, be able to handle crampons, ice tools and jumar - wait for good weather conditions. Best is in april/may or september. Altitude is 7.570m. Be sure to have some dextamethason with you for emergency. Only experienced climber should realy try. To find it i mapped from my location then went to Tibet...I knew it had to be there somewhere...~crosses fingers n hopes it's right though i don't know any trivia questions..~ Quote Link to comment

Stroover Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 okay...so here goes...hope it qualifies... Letterboxing was the precursor to geocaching. Where did it originate? (i'm looking for more than just the name of the Country) Dartmoor, England, 1854, by a chap named William Crossing, who, along his treks on the moors would leave boxes along the trail with letters in them. As other trekkers would find these boxes, they in turn would leave their "mail" in them and take what "mail" was in it and send it off in the post to reach its destination. Quote Link to comment
