Grabbing the FTP for Sunday the 5th. Sleepyheads out there this morning?

I’d Rather Be Lost Geocaching, Than Found At Home!

But we’re heading to TX again next week…will have to monitor from afar.

Safe travels to you…and what a mess in Oconto.  Has anything like this happened there in the past?

Thanks. Am looking forward to warmer weather 🙂
Oconto has experienced a number of floods in the past with the last major flood in ’86 but it was always in the spring…never at this time of year. Mother Nature has changed her tactics.

Have a safe and fun trip, Rod. Hopefully they will figure out the ice dam situation, and your house will be high and dry when you return.

I see Noonan got an FTF on a puzzle cache in Rapids this morning. It took me forever to figure it out. I had never heard of this system before. GC8GYCD” rel=”nofollow noopener” >GC8GYCD

It looks like a fun puzzle but it doesn’t appear that the answer is a set of coordinates but rather a point on the map. Is that really a geocache.

Using that point on the map, you can get coordinates. That’s what I did.

I worked with and played volleyball with her. I know better! I wish I could get up to go out with that group some time in the future!

Went 2 for 7 caching in Wausau today.

That sounds like me when I try to find caches in Rapids.

Well, for those of you with some time on your hands due to the weather, have some puzzles to work on. One more was just submitted and that should be it for a while, although I always have at least 20 cache containers in my car, so who knows. There is a guy from Illinois that has all but one solved – and he has that one solved if he can just get the “ah ha” moment with what he has already. He’s not going to find them, but he does what I did in Oregon: solve puzzles when you have spare time.

Happy new year to everyone, not much has changed around here except switching from Marshfield to Mayo for our health issues.

for 01-06-2020 . . . Have a good week everyone.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

As far as the Facebook thing goes, I haven’t been on there in almost 10 years although my wife is considering making a family page for our Christmas tree sales in order to let local people know we’re selling them next year.

I do miss the people we had here in the past.

What map app. do you use to get such info. Google maps show an easily identifiable spot which I believe I could locate on the ground and may go to if and when I visit Home Depot at some time in the future.

Oh and by the way is there some app that I can use to get the coordinates off of two photos that appear on my monitor or do I need to locate where the photos were taken first, at which point the coordinates are pretty much irrelevant.

I solved it at 4AM and don’t recall how I did it, although I have the answer stored in my free GPS app.

 

As far as my two pictures goes, my puzzle solver from Illinois just alerted me to the puzzle information isn’t there because of…well, I don’t want to post anything that will give the puzzle away, although the puzzle isn’t anything special.

Can someone message me about options for picture hosting. Seems GC.com doesn’t work like I thought it would and photobucket is a no go.

[Noonan]

I changed picture host sites from GC to flikr so I think that will do the trick, plus I uploaded the originals.

To answer your question about an app for the pictures – I don’t know – but probably. I use a web page.
