The San Diego Thread

[+boysnbarrie]

Just a head's up ...

 

halftrack guy will be arriving in San Diego on July 17th, after graduating from AIT. He will be here for about 10 days, and then he'll be going to Ft. Bliss, TX. I'm sure he would love to get together with some of the local geocachers, as he talks about you often. It'd be fun to get a group cache outing going, does anyone have any ideas? Shoot, he'd even just love meeting people for breakfast! I'm open to suggestions. Saturday, July 18th, would probably be the best day for him.

 

Just runnin' it up the ol' flagpole!

This was getting to close to the bottom and thought some of you might like to know that YODA has gone under the knife. Yes he's getting a roll cage build. Seems that he has taken a liking to wheeling with the jeeps so I fiqured it was time to get some protection. I'm building it myself with a friend of mine at his house in Santee. So it will be welded to the frame with extra grab bars for FATTBOY, and then we are building a new friend bumper. Hope to have it done before the campout. Hope everyone is having a great summer. CACHE on people.

I know this is probably a sad question but can you set up notifications in other states.

Sure, just give appropriate "Origin" coordinates for any place in the world.

 

Also one can submit pocket-queries for far-away places. That works out

great for vacation travel. To simplify this method establish a file-system

folder for pocket queries, subfolders for each pocket query, and GSAK

databases for each pocket query. The GSAK program has a Preferences

entry for database administrative files so one can provide an additional

subfolder to handle them. When exporting GSAK files such as for a PDA

or for a mapping program just set the destination-folder address for the

associated pocket-query folder. Makes it easy to reload a GPS and PDA

for a particular outing.

 

On the other hand pocket-queries tend to degrade pretty fast, in particular,

revised coordinates and recent-finder log entries will be missed as time

goes on.

 

Of course I'm presuming here that you use GSAK for pocket-query admin'.

If so then here's another angle or two to consider.

 

A. Now and then Geocachers use quotation marks to force their cache

names to the top of PDA lists. That makes it hard to associate abbreviated

cache names with full cache names. Trick is to remove the quotation

marks from cache names using the GSAK waypoint Edit feature. Good

thing is that there usually aren't many waypoints using quotation marks.

 

B. Similarly one can use the waypoint Edit feature to remove specific

articles from waypoint names; that is, remove 'A' and "The" from the

front of cache names. Easier to find in a PDA list as well.

 

A third useful feature is using the "Caches along a route" Geocaching

service. Baldy & Goldilocks are halfway along an RV vacation heading

through seventeen states. They loaded their laptop with caches-

along-a-route for their entire trip. They requested caches within one

mile of their preplanned highway route and are having great success

according to their blog. Of course there's wireless accesss at many of

their overnight stops as well.

 

O yeah, I should also mention a useful feature of Garmin "City

Navigator North America 2009." (MapSource) The feature is "View/View

in Google Earth." From MapSource 2009 if one selects "View/View in

Google Earth" then Google Earth launches, zooms in on the MapSource

location and displays icons for the MapSource caches. If you have an

earlier version of City Navigator then an upgrade is needed but beware,

Garmin states that the upgrade download is free. Yes indeed, the down-

load is free but it costs $75.00 to "Unlock" version 2009 in order to

display detailed maps and to access the aforementioned View in Google

Earth feature. Mostly this feature is really useful for Geocachers that do

a lot of trail hiking so's you can figure out the hills and hollows and spot

the useful truck-trails and bunny trails before heading out. By the way,

the 2009 upgrade offers new, updated map files as well.

 

I hope that some of the usual suspects of local Geocaching fame will have

many-more things to add and/or things to correct in my remarks.

 

Hmm, ... what was the question?

I didn't even know Mapsource had the View/View in Google Earth feature until you mentioned it.

But I probably wouldn't use it much. Since my database is in GSAK I just do an export from GSAK and load that into Google Earth. The only thing I keep in Mapsource is my database of unfound puzzles.

It's great that we have such adaptable tools for Geocaching.

Must be hundreds of ways to use what we have and it's great

to share ideas.

 

Sure was different way back in 2001 when I started out.

Back then it was a handful of printouts and, with luck, seeing

footprints along a trail made by some other Geocacher.

 

I recall seeing a set of huge footprints quite often back then,

boy was I surprised when they turned out to be Splashette's

footprints. I made plaster casts of her footprints and hung

them over our fireplace. One thang f'r shore, y' can't tip that

ol' gal over.

 

Back then the only technical innovation was to recycle printout

paper by printing a second set of cache pages on the backside

of the first set. Well, you know, only if the paper wasn't all

crumpled, stained, torn, or too wet with sweat. Ah yes, the

good old days of Geocaching.

 

When I was a boy paper hadn't been invented. We wrote on

cedar shingles instead of paper and that made books kinda

hard t' read in bed. Danged splinters were pesky too, that's

why pajamas were invented.

 

By the way, I forgot to mention something in the previous post.

If you happen to be a Baldy & Goldilocks fan then check out

Oh boy...here we go again...

 

Back when Harmon started caching, they didn't have paper or printers. They had scribes write out the cache pages on vellum. It took months just to get a simple cache page (though for a little extra, you could have it illustrated with gold leaf.) FTFs went to whoever had the fastest scribe.

 

They didn't have the Internet, either. Cache announcements were the domain of heralds who called out the coordinates from highest tower in the kingdom. (Coordinates, by the way, were in Roman numerals so it took a long time to get coordinates.

 

There were no batteries. GPSrs were powered by squirrels running around in little cages.

 

And forget about Google Maps/Google Earth to pinpoint the trail to the cache. Back in those days, caches were placed on the blank parts of the maps that said "Terra Ingcognita" and "Here, there be dragons!"

 

Back then, governments would fund vast expeditions in hopes of an FTF. Columbus promised that he'd get an FTF in India if King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella would give him three ships.

 

And there was no orbiting network of satellites. Instead, they loaded satellites into catapults and launched them as high into the air as they could get them. During that interval, everyone had to quickly get a position fix before the satellite came crashing down to earth. (Woe to the cacher who had to change the squirrels in his or her GPSr at the wrong moment.)

 

Yep, caching sure has changed since the Dark Ages.

[+The Fat Cats]

The only thing I keep in Mapsource is my database of unfound puzzles.

 

For unsolved puzzles, we keep our list in GSAK. Then we can run a google map with this macro:

And that's the way it was ...

 

 

Funny you should mention it James, just so happens that I have a photo

showing me as a launch-crew member during an old-fashioned satellite

launch. That's me showing through the near-side arming wheel while

putting the launcher into a cocked and loaded position. Can you spell

"trebuchet?"

 

Got to launch a limestone satellite in Le Baux, France where Bauxite was

discovered and named. When I was a boy we didn't have no aluminum

until Bauxite came along. If y' wanted t' build somethin' that wasn't too

heavy then we just used chicken bones.

 

The thang about old-timey satellites was that coodinates were much

simpler back then, we didn't have no latitude and longitude; instead,

t' go somewhere there was just "to" and "from," and "run around in

circles."

 

Thanks for the summary LLOT, nice of you to encourage people to respect

their elders this way.

Tourists miss Italian island by 400 miles, thanks to GPS

Tourists driving to famed island of Capri end up in northern Italy due to misspelling destination on their car's GPS

 

By The Associated Press

 

Officials say a Swedish couple looking for the popular island of Capri ended some 400 miles away in the northern Italian industrial town of Carpi after misspelling the destination on their car's GPS.

 

Angelo Giovannini, a spokesman for the Carpi town hall, near Modena, said the couple drove into the main square last week and asked the local tourist office how to reach Capri's famed Blue Grotto sea cave.

 

"We thought they might mean a restaurant. Capri is an island, they did not even wonder why they didn't cross any bridge or take any boat, " Giovannini said Tuesday.

 

He said the couple, who were not identified, arrived from Venice and later set off to their planned destination at the other end of the Italian peninsula.

I live in western NC and have located the 1st. Stage of the above mentioned geocache, "I HAVE A FRIEND IN SAN DIEGO" GC1WD48 and have the coordinates for the San Diego, 2nd Stage. I would love to locate someone in your area who would be willing to go to the 2nd. Stage of this cache to retrieve the coordinates for Stage 3, the Final, located here in western NC. Then, we could both grab a smily on this one.

 

Also, we could grab its companion cache, "west,east?,west" GC1W7RA by thurmdog , too! That would give us both two finds spread across our two states. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

We are both very sad at this loss, as others have said she was a full member of the SD Caching family, she just hiked on 4 legs instead of two. I am sure Chuy and family will hold her in thier hearts forever. What adventures she had geocaching, it is more than any dog could ask for, what a great life. We will miss her and remember her special log entries about finding caches and having to wait for her human partners. I guess we will celebrate her life and adventures, rather than dwell on the greif, and remember her on the trail.

FYI, Mr and Mrs map4navigation put Wendy, their black lab, to sleep this past week. I met Wendy a couple of times, she was a mellow friendly lab.

 

RIP Wendy.

That's so sad... So sorry for your loss... !!

 

We, too, are very sorry for your loss!

As are we.

 

I met Wendy, too. She was a sweetheart!!! I'm sorry Map and Mrs. Map !!!

 

Mrs Map and I want to thank everyone for all the positive comments and caring emails! Today we are mourning the loss of Ginger and she is in our prayers! The geocaching community is truly a wonderful group of people!

Ginger, you will be missed!

 

 

Wow, what a week!! Mrs Map and I have tears in our eyes. Ginger, Chuy! and the pack loved u! Thanks for the great hikes!

 

Chuy and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Ginger was a great companion. She'll be sorely missed. I remember her antics on cache runs several times. She was a real character. It is very hard to lose a pet, friend and family member like Ginger. She will be missed by all of us.
