The new web page description areas are larger, leaving little if any border area for the background picture. :rolleyes:

There's likely to be an increase of pictures being inserted in the description area.

Only at the very bottom where all the copywrite info is. I'm bummed. My little piggies for Igpay Atlinay are all hidden. This really changes the overall feel for a page, especially when the background is a hint to solving a puzzle.

Frankly, I don't think I resemble a little Fisher-Price person at all.

I'm planning, for the third time, a trip up to San Miguel Mountain on Monday at 8A.

Drop me an email if you'd like to join me. It dosen't look promising but maybe the rains will be light or miss us altogether.

This was brought up early in the discussion on the Geocaching.com Web Site forum. Jeremy said he "may" fix it. RM

I created a favorites bookmark and loaded some of my favorite caches into it. Check it out! and...Oh yeah, let me know when you guys create your own favorites lists! I really like this idea! :rolleyes:

A link will be added.

They will also be adding some very handy features like the top 10%!

So when you travel you can do a PQ to get the concensus favorite caches for that area!

I haven't been on the thread for a few days and see the Splashes have zipped by the 2K cache mark! Congrats Janie and Steve!

February 17, 2005

Oh how this Thread scares me! Keep thinking I'm going to get lost in here and never resurface!

Wanted to add my 2 cents to the plethora of congratulations headed to the Splashes. Felt privileged to be with my fellow Geobabe when she hit the 2 ton number on Tuesday.

Way to go S & S!

B.R.A wants to go desert caching in Anza Borrego. We're thinking about this Sunday and/or Monday 2/20-21. Anyone interested in going let us know....anyone interested in making us a map let us know. Wild flowers are everywhere!!

February 18, 2005

We just came back from Borrego. I did some caching out of the campground up the Palm Canyon trail and the Alternate trail. The wild flowers are really showy there. We counted nine different kinds.

Hey Chuck - Have they reparied the trail up Palm Canyon. As I understand it, it was mostly washed away in the flooding that occured last fall. RM

I have all the Anza caches waypointed on TOPO (except the twenty or so I have already found - that leaves about 50+ others); I can email you jpg's, and if you use EasyGPS, I can email you the waypoints on .loc format.

I also have coords to some human bones BADCOP found while out on a camping trip. Let me know if you want the coords. The closest cache to them is $kimmer's Boo Hoo about a mile to the south. And no, he didn't leave them there. They appear to be old; he contacted an archeological group nearby and was told they would investigate when they got a chance. That's the story he told me and he's sticking to it.

Thanks Chuy...I knew we could count on you!! :mad: Please E-Maill the Anza info you have and we do use easygps. Include the old bones coords as you never know when that might come in handy....As we always say..."a friend will help you move, a good friend will help you move a body. We are going down on Sunday early morning....just for the day...returning in the evening. We may join you on your hike 8am Monday if it is still on. Any one else up for a day of desert caching.......we can meet up.

The Yosemite Association recently posted .pdf versions of their Yosemite Journal. The Summer 2004 issue includes an article on geocaching in the Valley, where we have four virtual placements.

Here's a link to the Journal postings - http://www.yosemite.org/member/journal.htm

The article appears on pages 7-9. Enjoy.

Until I hear from the cache owner or other cachers for a legal trailhead, my planned trip to San Miguel Mtn is cancelled. I went by today after work to scope out the parking/trailhead area and saw a clearly marked NO TRESPASSING sign at the trailhead listed on the webpage. There appears to be no other trailhead in the area other than by going through the nearby housing developement but that also has a no trespassing sign.

If this don't pan out, I will be visiting the Stuck in the Merge caches off Ted Williams Pkwy and topping it off with a visit to Secret Passage to Hogsmeade. I plan on getting started bet 7-8a; anyone interested in joining me, send me an email.

BRAs: will send out the promised Anza info later this evening. Have fun in the desert; wish I could be joining you.

Yes, both of the trails are repaired and open to Borrego's Palm Canyon. Sorry I didn't answer sooner, but was not using the computer the rest of yesterday. Chuck :huh:

Stuck on Stage 8 here. Anyone??

Got to 14 - which looks easier than it is!

On edit: ha, got that one! Working on Stage 3 of the next set (codes)

Rain killed caching today. So Rocket man and I buzzed through the rest of that Internet puzzle and made it to the end (15 stages).

However, the end page leads you to a new puzzle (5 stages) and then another puzzle (8 stages) and then one last puzzle (15 stages).

Unfortunately there were not coordinates to a TT cache at the end of all this! But this concept would make for a fun puzzle cache!

Hey everyone out there. I am hoping someone with a little graphics arts expertise would be willing to tutor me for the next YMS Geocacher Card. I think the cards are turning out OK, but I am sure there are some easy techniques that could make them a lot better quality. I just don't really have any background in this and am just putting them together with limited knowledge and understanding of how the varous programs work. I end up using Paint for some things, Adobe Photoshop Elements for other things, and Microsoft Picure Editor for other things. I'm pretty sure that I could do it all with Adobe Photoshop Elements, but I am having lots of trouble figuring out how to use it. I thought maybe someone out there who knows what they're doing could work with me on designing the next card in the series, and then I would be better equipped to carry on.

Any takers? :laughing: :huh:

Hi folks,

I'm back from Colorado (a measly 8 caches, but 5 great days of snowboarding), and it looks like I missed quite the party at the Round Table yesterday! Did I miss anything else good?

I had a great time with the proper altimeter on the eTrex Vista that Duscwe has lent me, I should have some amusing up-down-up-down lines to post soon. Found a cache in the ski resort at Winter Park/Mary Jane (GCAD65), which was quite different to most SD caching experiences - the snow was up to my waist! On Friday we did 43 miles of travelling by snowboard (including the chairlifts), and 20,000ft of vertical ascent.

Hope the weather clears up soon round here, don't like this rain much....

Oh the humanity!

My archived and removed Do They Hate Me? cache was headed back to me via the pizza event and 13 cachers signed the log book! Only one logged a find (as of yet) and I promptly busted them (in the nicest manner).

So who thought a Dan-oh cache rated at 4/3 would just walk up to you while you were drinking a beer?! Not a chance. I will never happen. For that, you must ALL pay. I will call the locust to descend upon you and your, um, wait.

OK, I'll make a really mean and nasty cache and you'll have to find it.

So there.
