Thanks to MuddyBottoms for putting this outting together. Great hot chocolate and awesome brownies. Good to see old friends again.Thanks!!

Cheeto, you are correct. the method that I use does NOT give description or logs. All I get is the cache name and coords. Whice is all that I am looking for. I have paperless on my Oregon.

[benny7210]

Got it done… 🙂 I just use the send to GPS function. What I needed to change was the special tag to use %name not %code. Thanks to all that were kind enough to help me out.

[benny7210]

Thanks for the fast reply. I must have missed the earler post.

[benny7210]

Has there been a meeting time and location place announced yet? OR did I miss it?

[benny7210]

Barry you were on the right track. I needed to change the special tags in the GSAK setting to send to GPS. Thanks

Oops.. Am not using the Macro for loading the caches…. 🙁

[benny7210]

Thanks, will give it a try.

[benny7210]

Thanks Todd300. But that is for loading caches as POI. Thats not what I need to do. My problem is not trying to load them BUT to change from GC number to the cache name in the listing.

9Key is just another cache owner that wants to play the game by his own rules. He THINKS he’s the only one thats right and every one else is wrong. Show me where it says on GC.com that what he is doing is right. SO whats next?? Does he have the right to say that your log was not long enough, because it was only 37 words and not the required minimum of 50 words! Sounds to me like another ALR. I think that he just likes to have his ego stroked…. GET A LIFE.

NOTICE: Disclaimer… The text below is NOT referring to any specific individual or cache owner. OR earth cache listing. This is only my humble opinion.
I am ecstatic that the rules for earth cache placement have been tightened up. I feel it is long overdue. I have noticed that the quality seems to be sacrificed for quantity. Ever since they came out with the earth cache owner pins ever one thinks that they need to place enough earth caches to earn a platinum pin. When I first started doing earth caches they were something special to do. But now there seems to be one or two on ever block corner. Not very far from where I live there is a small county park (75 acres). In that park there are two earth caches (.1 miles apart). Talk about over kill.
Wisconsin is a very beautiful state with many natural wonders. But do we need nearly 200 earth caches to show it off? The answer is NO. The example that I will use is the Water Fall series that Lil Otter used to have. To show these off she would place a traditional cache near the falls or the path to the falls. You got to see one of Wisconsin’s wonders and a smiley to boot.
Let’s look at our neighboring states for comparison. To see how we as a state would rank.
Minnesota 88 Earth Caches
Iowa 83 Earth Caches
Illinois 97 Earth Caches
Wisconsin 175 Active and 9 Archived
As Sandlanders said in a previous post may be there is a silver lining to the tough new standards. I sure hope that they are correct. Wisconsin does have some great quality earth caches. BUT also some that are pure junk!

[benny7210]

Yes, to four of the nine you listed.
