Aronius Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 Did you buy your GPSr for another reason and then discover Geocaching or did you buy your GPSr for Geocaching? Farewell Mother Hips....for now. Quote
+cachew nut Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 What do you intend to do with the poll information. On your first day here you have started at least 4 polls. Do you need help on how to find a cache? Just curious. Quote
umc Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 CN, Understand that first days even weeks can be tough on someone. It will all work out. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Not so sure, Somewhat new Owner Of a Garmin GPS V Received on 10-03-02 Quote
Aronius Posted November 24, 2002 Author Posted November 24, 2002 I plan to store it in my head... This whole thing intrigues me, and I see an oppotunity for some real fun. I just want to know things about the sport. Sorry 'bout the minor obsession...I'm like a kid in a candy store right now...my eyes are like this big right now!!!! Thanks for the info. Farewell Mother Hips....for now. Quote
umc Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 If you want to know things about the sport spend more time reading the forums intead of posting polls to them. You can even do searches to find old info, not currently on the present page. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Not so sure, Somewhat new Owner Of a Garmin GPS V Received on 10-03-02 Quote
ArchieDH Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 Well, I had been hunting in the woods one fine day and as I was "tring" to remove myself said woods, I came to realize, I'M LOST! But, with the fine help of my Bro-in-law, our lungs for yelling to eachother, and our two-way radios, I managed to get out before dark. Well, when I was making my way out of the woods and I spoted his shining face (to my relief), he could hear me exclaim!, I'M GETTING A ****ING (I was the Navy) GPS TONIGHT! THEN, I discoverd, GeoCaching. Archie (Way Down South) PS. Hey, "U" (umc), the guy's excited. Give'im a break. Besides, put your pretty wife on the computer, we want to talk with her anyway, not you, "U"! Quote

+leatherman Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 You can not call your self a techi-geek, if you don't buy the gadgets first. Long before you have a use for them. I assure you the first cache hider had his GPSr long before he thought of hiding a cache. If you do not extend your expectations unto others, you will not be disappointed by the stupid things they do. Mokita! Quote

+Smitherington Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 I was going to be in Ecuador so I was going to be at the equator. I bought the GPSr so I could stand on the equator and make a waypoint that indicated 0 degrees n/s. Two years later I discovered geocaching. Quote
+Mudfrog Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 HA HA HA Leprechauns,,,, I had used my old Garmin 40 while fishing years before i found out about GeoCaching. However, since discovering GeoCaching, ive bought a newer GPS76 which works much better! Quote
+carleenp Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 Smitherington, Did you know that the yellow line at the equator memorial outside of Quito is supposedly wrong? It is apparently a foot or two off according to GPS, but then I suppose you have to ask about the GPS accuracy!?!? There is a virtual cache dedicated to it. I am thinking of going to Ecuador for a Spanish immersion course and just yesterday looked up Ecuador geocaches and found it. Oh and to be on topic, I bought my GPS to get into geocaching after reading an Omaha World Herald article about it. Quote

+dwmurphy Posted November 25, 2002 Posted November 25, 2002 then I was reading through some forums at my mailorder hunting club and found a post about Geocaching.Com and have been lurking here ever since. I'm not Lost, my GPS says I'm right here....no here......no here. Quote
tahoeberne Posted November 25, 2002 Posted November 25, 2002 Well if you really want to know which came first, throw away that static view of a modern egg and chicken. Every chicken and egg contain some slight genetic differences. Now, if you turn the clock back multiple generations, both the chicken and the egg will progressively appear different. Now the hard part: At what point do the great-great-great-grandparents of our so-called modern chicken or egg, look less like a modern chicken and more like some other animal? Same for the egg. Eggs can be rubbery (like some snakes), have spongy-clear exterior casings with the yolk in the middle (as some sharks), or a variety of other structures. As mutations, genetic recombinations, and other natural factors come into play I would be hard pressed to say, "Hey, now that chicken or egg has evolved to where I am satified that here is the generation I can absolutely call a modern ideal chicken...or egg." So I think if you make that call that a certain generation's egg looks "egg-ish", then fine. And if you make the call that a certain generation's chicken looks "chicken-ish", well, fine too. Gee, this was fun. "Why did the chicken cross the road? Someone egged it on." David Berne Quote

David Berne Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that you're a poltician and that the chicken crossed the road to get away from your blathering orations. Now tell me who would eat green eggs and ham? A Leper-con you say?....hmmmm Quote

In reality, your post reveals that you are just the same as me: "The different skin colors of all people (except those without pigment) on earth, are just shades of brown." Now, my genetic differences of chicken or egg are just varying shades of slight changes. So you and I walk the same path here. I kept this short and sweet in hopes of tailoring it to your mentality.

+st_richardson Posted November 26, 2002 Posted November 26, 2002 I wanted a GPS back when SA was still active and Geocaching didn't exist. When I finally reached the point in my life where I could afford a GPS, I had heard about Geocaching. I jumped into the sport with a Vista. I still use it more in my car than in the woods. I've recently added a pair of Rino 120s to my collection and have started using them Geocaching. Quote
+Deadreckoning Posted November 26, 2002 Posted November 26, 2002 GOOD QUESTION DONT LET THE GEOSNOBS DEGRADE YOU . I OWNED MY GPS FIRST . ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER I READ ABOUT THIS SPORT AND I WAS HOOKED. NOW I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU? IF A CHICKEN AND A HALF LAID AN EGG AN A HALF IN A DAY AND A HALF. HOW MANY EGGS WOULD IT LAY IN A WEEK AND A HALF?? Quote

+Deadreckoning Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 OH REALLY! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT ELSE BUGS YOU SO I WILL NOT MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN. AND PLEASE POST IT IN THE FORUM SO ALL THE OTHER CACHERS OUT THERE WILL KNOW. GOOD LUCK GETTING ALONG WITH PEOPLE, YOU CAN GET HELP ...GEOFUN Quote
