Is anyone else experiencing problems loading up the My Cache Page on Geocaching.com? I was going to print out a bunch of caches from our watchlist for this weekend and I am getting a nice huge server error message
It almost looks like there is a problem w/ communication to their sql server..The message is huge, so I wont paste it here. But I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing it.

08/06/2004 at 9:41 pm #1737345Thanks,
I got the pocket query already We just like to have a print out of the caches before we go so we can write on them when we find the cache and peak at hints
Thanks though!

08/06/2004 at 10:04 pm #1737346Nice Web site! If you haven’t yet, check out the program GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife). Also, your PQ can be put on a PDA, so you can have all the cache pages with hints in the stroke of a stylus.
08/08/2004 at 2:37 am #1737347Has this been fixed yet? I’m trying to get in again and I keep getting the error page. Anyone have a pocket query from Baraboo/Madison they can send my way?

Looks like it’s broken again. It worked earlier this afternoon but now it’s getting the same error message that I was receiving yesterday.
Cathunter,
I’ve checked out GSAK but I wasn’t greatly impressed.. I didn’t spend much time on it though. We also haven’t had a chance to work with cache pages on a PDA yet. For the most part I download the cache pages and keep them on our laptop. I have worked out a script that systematically sucks the cache pages down however it’s not as ‘nice and easy’ as I’d like it to be. One of those outstanding projects of mine I don’t think i’ll be posting instructions on how to do this because I don’t want someone hammering at geocaching.com’s website w/ it. I do it to our watchlist when I need to at times.I’ll have to check out the GSAK some more.. Hopefully the geocaching server is just receiving alot of requests and isn’t dying.

08/08/2004 at 3:23 am #1737349Well hey, look at that. I’ve always downloaded the waypoint information in LOC format. When I imported those into the GSAK I noticed how it didn’t have much info for the caches and required me to be online to get the webpage to load up with info. After futsing with it for awhile I set it aside and was disappointed.
Low and behold I found a .gpx file I had downloaded previously to import that in. And wow, look at all of the extra information those contain Say goodbye to my ‘little script’ and hellow to gpx.
In either case, thanks for making me a little more curious to look at the software again
