I need a nap.

Blah, blah.. Yackety smackety…. I’m keeping mine since I have no morals. I’m pure evil. My goal is to log one million event temps. That should crash the entire net. Then I can implement my plan to take over the world. Whaaaa Ha Haaaaa!! 😈 😈 😈

I’m not going to cave into the pressure from out of staters who have nothing better to do than trash others for doing nothing wrong. What next?? 😕

Go on, beat that dead horse some more.!! 👿

Team 3 Hawks:

Grew up on Brice Prairie, Onalaska. Graduated from Holmen High in 1989. Currently reside in Oak Creek (Milwaukee).

My heart still belongs to the Coulee Region. After all, its God’s country. 😀

My first GPSr was a Blue eTrex Legend. Nothing fancy, but it usually got the job done. It is fairly inexpensive, nearly indestructible, bounces nicely down the road at 25 mph, and only looses reception in the very thickest of cover.

My new GPSr is an eTrex Vista HCx. Unlike the Vista HC, it has a micro SD slot so you can utilize all of the after market mapping software. The price on the HCx is around $280 to $350, so it might not be the best option for a beginner.

After 44 years, I think I am going to stick with the one I have. I am sure there are a lot of wonderful ladies out there, but I am not going to take the chance of losing the one I have.

Yep, that is almost what I was going to say about my one of a kind wife. 🙄 Almost, but not quite. 😯

Not a chance!! The thought just makes me sick to my stomach!! My life is like a slow motion accident taking place and I don’t need the added humiliation of watching myself make an a$$ of myself in front of the whole world.

Then again, for a cool million, I’d do it naked.

I have used a 2gb in mine, that could hold all of metroguide V7 and a few states of topo 2008.
If I were looking at newer maps, I would get the NT version of city navigator. It’s compressed differently and uses less map segments, this allows you to load the whole US onto a 1gb card. This would leave 1gb free space on a 2gb card so you could load even more topo maps then(there is a 2025 map segment limit).

Can I use NT with my Vista Hcx? I have a 2 GIG card and I have TOPO 2008 loaded for everything east of the Rockies with room to spare.

I am anything but the most agile of climbers. I have had two knee surgeries, an unhealed old fracture in one foot, and two bum shoulders. Without even mentioning my weight, I’m not in ideal tree climbing shape.

Uncle_Fun’s tree cache gave me pause but he chose a tree suited to climbing. The cache is further up a tree than I’ve climbed in about 25 years, but the pine branches form a natural ladder and I never felt in any real danger. It is one of my most memorable caching experiences. Another climb was only about 15 feet up a tree, but the branches were small and/or rotting stubs. I disliked that climb almost as much as the climb I made out on a branch 15 feet over a rock filled stream.

Climbing a tree for a cache can be a great experience, but it is not for everyone. Hiking 5 miles for a cache can be a great experience, but it is not for everyone. As long as you properly advise cachers about what they are getting into, then it can be a great placement as long as a suitable tree is selected.

I think variety is one of the great aspects of this sport. If every cache were hidden in a fashion easily accessible to all cachers; every cache would be hidden under a light pole skirt. Wouldn’t that be fun???

Congrats from a Holmen High School alumni!! I don’t get back to the area very often, but I hope to someday meet you guys on the trails.

148,000 miles on a Ford Escort that is on it’s last leg. I don’t think it will make it through the winter and I’ve thrown way too much money into just keeping it on the road. Time for a new cachmobile!!

I asked an old timer once how he was doing. He told me he was thankful he was still on this side of the grass…

I am too! And I’m thankful for family, friends, a job I really like, a nice place to live, lots of fun recreational things I am able to do, and for our God who loves us so much that He gives us all these things and so much more.

Have a terrific Thanksgiving.

Grandpa Jim & Grandma Chris

Couldn’t have said it better!!

Ok folks, it’s placed and approved. I’ll let you know that it’ll become active Saturday morning and it’s at Camp Ka-Ha-Gon

I’ll be out of town, so good luck on the hunt for the prize.

I’m thankful for my daughter, Little Hawk.

I’m thankful for an understanding (most of the time) wife, Mama Hawk.

I’m thankful for family, friends, good health, and for a steady job.

I’m thankful for geocaching, but it is way down my list of priorities, even thought I sometimes have to be reminded of that fact.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

[3 Hawks]

Holy cow!! Glad to know everyone is OK.

I blew through a stop sign on a Racine Class B highway last fall and it was due to a combination of looking at my GPSr and heading directly into the setting sun. I didn’t see the sign until I was half way through the intersection. Luckily there was no cross traffic or I’d have been in the same boat.

Play safe out there guys.
