+Dgwphotos Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Congrats on your first cache find and welcome aboard! What was the show you saw? Sounds like something I should have watched..... Probably Treasure Trackers. It's the talk of the PNW caching community, since several locals were in it. It was on KCTS9 earlier this week. Quote Link to comment

+flyguymk Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Yup, thats the show I saw on PBS. Tnks for the heads up on the event, I'll try to make it. The whole thing is a bit more complex than I orginally thought, getten thru some of the reading. Got time, got patience. Hope my gps has a cord to puter, unsure. Find out couple days. Got the google earth thing going and the software for the game, gonna work on that tomorrow. Really want to do a few hides perty soon, didnt really realize about the upkeep thing, makes sense though. One string will be outside NorthBend a bit, no prob there. Other one way up behind Mt SI, dunno If I'll be able to get those up any time soon. That string would be 5's all the way. What the heck does FTF mean? Think its good. If there is a page of slang somewhere? Could use link if convienent. Tnks again, [] Quote Link to comment

The Geolexicon is a good place to find information on acronyms, and other geo terminology. By the way, IM speak isn't required, and is sort of frowned upon. Quote Link to comment
