C4 are you bringing that coin to the Black Canyon event tomorrow?

 

I don't have the coin that I am placing in the wild in my possession yet. He is sending it out to me in Monday's mail.

 

I do have the one that is part of my collection though. I have a few issues to work out before I can commit to making it tomorrow, but I hope to be there.

I have dropped a few coins into caches with this very goal in mind. The swiftness in which these coins have disappeared has been highly discouraging. Sure, I expected them to evaporate eventually, but to have them disappear so quickly was very disappointing. :huh::ph34r:

 

It's quite an ironic thing that most geocoin "travellers" don't actually travel. It's even more so given that there is such a high value placed on coins that are "trackable". (I'm waiting for someone to release a coin that is truly trackable -- one that, when it goes missing, I can type the tracking number into LoJack... :rolleyes: )

Maybe you should lock a steel tire hub or cinder block to the moun10bike coin? You don't see restroom keys being stolen do you? :ph34r:

Well . . . I bet I've been shopping at REI longer than any of the rest of you . . . 

Can you beat 1968? (I was just a kid then and it was my dad's coop number but it was my money and so it still counts...) :o

Trivia question: Where was REI in San Diego before its present location?

I remember the store on University Ave. but the only "store" I had at the beginning was their wonderful catalogue that I would drool over in my little house on Ocean Front Walk.

 

Can you believe you could rent a place in that location for only $140.00 a month. :laughing:

Yep, it was in the old Sears building.

Hi Smokey...Welcome to caching!

:laughing::o:P

Thanks, GoBolts. Happened upon geocaching quite by accident. Bought a GPS for backpacking and then.....

What I am leading up to is this...I just worked out a trade with Moun10Bike for another one of his new coins. This is his 3rd version of his coin, so many of you haven't had the opportunity to see one yet. When you log it, you get the same Moun10Bike icon on your stat page as you do with the first 2 versions of his coin though.

Wow, I just took a look at his new coin and it's very nice. I had one of his original coins a few years back and it went missing shortly after I dumped it in a cache. I hope the one you send out lasts a little longer. RM

We had a great time to day at the CITO and it was good to put faces to names. Can't wait for the next one.

 

On a side note, does anyone have an Etrex Vista? If so, have you ever experienced problems with it turning off randomly even with fresh batteries? Our Etrex tends to turn off without warning. Not too sure what to make of it.

I am using an Extrex Vista on loan from a coworker. It has the same problem of turning off randomly. My coworker knew of the problem and told me about it before loaning me the unit. He says he got an RMA number from Garmin at some point to get it sent in for repair but he never got around to mailing it in. When I give the unit back to him, he plans on calling Garmin again and getting his RMA number so he can get it fixed.

If it's anything like our 60CS, it's probably turning off because the batteries are momentarily losing contact. It's a known problem with the original 60CS's (which we have) which we've solved (sort of) by putting some padding behind the battery contacts. However, some batteries are longer than others and it still turns off if we bump it when we use "short" ones.

I've seen in the GPS Units forums about this fix; it seems to work for most folks.

I've had my Vista for +2 yrs and a 60CS for about 9 months. Knock on wood, I've never had this problem with either unit.

Once, after replacing batteries, I noticed the fresh batteries sat kinda loose on my Vista, so, I just used a pen to bend out the tabs.

Now, the screen blanks out every so often, but the unit remains on. It's probably due to the numerous drops and bumps; I've had two nasty bike spills where the Vista got knocked off the handlebar bracket..

Just back in (and laundry is started) from a camping weeend in Anza Borrego.  I kept the cache list short since it was the entire family but we hit RM's Over the Edge (GCAFFA) cache.  At Indian Canyon, it was our first ever sighting of Big Horn Sheep!

Somehow I don't think the promise of better images will get me a Canon 300D or a Nikon D50 with a telephoto lens.  Sigh.

Nice photos of a rare siting Dan-oh!

Count me in!!! Is there any better time to cache??? Just don't forget the bee/snake/mountain lion repellant!!! :signalviolin:

I am up for it. Just let me know when. I will try to be down early for other caches in the area first though. :mad:

 

I have been emailing back and forth with Team Adelos. Next Sunday is the next date he is trying for. (was going to try for yesterday but there were other events already scheduled)

Shoot far! ... why is ever'body always pickin' on me?

 

Truth is that was a weird telephone interview. The reporter called to ask about our group of SD Rowdies hitting that cache late one night. The reporter was definitely hoping for a bunch of weirdos that truly believed in the monster and as a bonus had been abducted by aliens. Oddly enough this is the first time I've seen the resulting article. As I recall it was $kimmer that put us up to the late-night adventure.

 

Sexagenarians huh? Why I oughta ....
