Cool. Now next time there is a caching event in your area, all I have to do is check the logs to see if you're going to attend, then I know when your house will be vacant so I can clear it out

 

Now, *I* wouldn't do that. But do you know that the 15,000 other people reading these forums won't?

That's why I don't mark my home coordinates in my GPSr...

 

You're not paranoid if they really are out to get you...

So by that logic nobody with an 8-5 job should be in the telephone directory, because then the thieves know where and when to strike?

 

I think this is an excellent example of why these forums drive people away - a knee-jerk argumentative nonsensical post that does nothing to help anything.

You are at the corner of County Rte 57 and Brookdale Ave in Baywood Long Island.

Ok, my home coordinates are .....

 

 

Hey!

 

Is this like one of those emails I get where they tell me I must give my banking information or they'll close my account? And then once I tell them, they clean out my account? I'm not gonna fall for THAT one again!

 

Ya almost had me, though! Good one!

[DieselNut]

AMEN to you! , I *thought* it would be neat to put in someones coordinates in my gpsr to see how far I was , all in fun

I dont know why or what Baywood is, I noticed it today on my GPS, I must look into that

[+Hemlock]

Looks like North Babylon Township to me.

 

Either that or Deer Park.

[WH]

Possibly North Bay Shore as well.

[+Mopar]

Looks like either he's not sure, or a little paranoid after all, since he edited his home coords in his post by 1.7 miles. He's at one of the 2 blue pushpins.

Here's my benchmark. For some reason part of the image is out of focus though

As a kid, I used to always ask my dad why the road my Grandma lived on was called "Woodstock Cuba Rd." and he never knew the answer. On my last trip, I was looking at the map and saw that it is the road that runs between Woodstock and Cuba( which I guess used ti be town names before Millington gobbled them up. If you look at the city list in your GPS you'll find that a lot of neighborhoods are listed as cities themselves. Like Baywood, NY and nearby Dix Hills, NY

That's my parking space at a very large apartment complex.

 

My Mom lives maybe 100 feet from W70-00.000

Let's see, I think I got this right.

Decode the coords on this cache and you'll be within .3 of my house.

Im reasonabley near to N 42 W 083

  Good solution for the paranoid:  Just give your coordinates to the nearest or last minute.  That's accurate enough to give people the general area, but not enough to pinpoint exactly where you are.  A minute of latitude is a nautical mile of distance; a minute of longitude somewhat less, depending on your latitude.

 

  With that in mind, here's my location, to the nearest minute each way:

 

    N 38° 34'

    W 121° 29'

true,

 

but with an address and an autorouting gps I can get there anyways.

 

 

For a class we had to look up quite a bit of information on our professor including banking information, house pictures and value, his personal salary, ext...

 

 

It took about two hours. I'm not too worried about giving out coordinates

 

 

 

But why make it easy for them, so I won't

 

 

I live north of Pittsburgh in a rural area called west deer. I'm about a mile west of deer lakes high school living at the end of a private drive, and on a ridge.

 

 

anyone want to try and map it out?

Do you live here?

 

[+EScout]

DM03us in the Maidenhead grid system used by Ham radio operators.

 

The Mike makes it in the south part of the continental USA. The Delta makes in the western states. Delta-Mike makes it in the Southwest. The 3 makes it in the lower latitudes, the 0 makes it in the far western end. DM03 makes it in southern California near the coast. (The "us" is the subgrid making it in the northeast part of the grid.)

 

If you have a Garmin, which has Maidenhead Grid, enter DM03us in your GPSr,it will show the SW corner of the subgrid, about 2 miles from my house.

With a description like that, it says "A gun also lives here" Do you have any cold beer in the fridge?

[+RichardMoore]

I can't give you my coordinates because the satellites just work for the Earth and I'm on my own little planet.

Yes, we have a case in the mud room fridge, and hat door is never locked.

 

 

COME ON IN!!!

 

Oh, and we do have guns. So unless you shout "I"M A GEOCACHER" it might be a bit scary.

Very close.

 

I gave you bad directions. It's closer to a mile and a half and south west. Didn't ave the gps when I posted the other day.

 

I'm right here

I dont meant to be a party pooper, but perhaps this thread belongs in the Off Topic forum.
