I am not home to check on mine but I would assume most of my Pine Island cache series is underwater or not accessable along with a couple of other caches.

Here in Portage they are expecting the Wisconsin River to crest at 20 feet tonight which is a foot higher then the flooding we had back in 2008.

It sure would be nice if they had lines painted on the ground telling where all the boundries are kinda like on the cartoons.

I can’t answer your specific question but do recommend going to the gsak forums and asking your question there. It would probally get a lot faster response and it might have even been answered there all ready.

The app market has this really neat feature that lets you buy an app and if you don’t like it and uninstall it in 24 hours they refund the price of the app. So with that in mind I went ahead and bought the app yesterday and used it some during the west bend cache bash.

I am using an HTC droid Incredible and had no issues with it force closing and it seemed to run as fast as other apps I have used. There might be a little bit more battery drain then I am use too having.

Over all the program works greats. The accuracy was even with the other cache apps that are available in locating a cache. I did not get a chance to download a pq to it but looking at how everything else worked good on it I assume there wouldn’t be any issues with it.

It is good for impromptu caching or needing additional info while in the field but a cell phone still does not beat a hand held gps for accuarcy.

Over all a good program but I did uninstall it at the end of the day because the $9.99 is to high compared to several other apps that are on the market that are free or a few dollars and work just as well or better.

The programer of c;geo has repeatedly said that groundspeak will not tell him exactly what part of the tos he is violating so he can change the programing on it What it really comes down too is his app does everything the groundspeak app does but it is $9.99 cheaper.

Oh and that is a one time fee.

One of my geocoins that has been missing for a month short of three years showed up today. 😀 😀 😀

Now that we have had a great presale and being that it is over and done with maybe we can get our home page changed so it no longer shows a presale going on?

Crackberry.com hasn’t mentioned any long term problems with blackberry/sprint so I think you are going to have to make a call or a trip to sprint to get them to correct the problem you are having with not connecting.

Twice while up north doing a delorme run I have had black bears run across the trail in front of me.

I will never forget the first time it happened because Tammy was standing there in the middle of the trail holding her camera yelling “stop, stop come back so I can take your pictures”.

And as I go thru all of my emails I had another coin that was missing for a year and a half show up this weekend too.

Maybe we need to have more memorial day weekends. 🙂

A coin that we placed in a cache on 6/5/07 and it immediatly disappeared showed up over the weekend in a cache in Jackson Hole, WY. It gives me hope that the other thirty some coins we placed around that time and had go missing right away will start showing up.

Our first LPC was actually a flag pole skirt. It was about our fifth cache and a multi to boot. we found the first couple stages with no problem then it came to the final and there were a lot of possible hiding spots. I think we spent a good half hour looking for it and then we gave up and went home. When we went to log the DNF we discovered there was a hint for it and it said something about a flag pole. So back we went and started looking again and not having much luck I accidently kicked the skirt and noticed it moved. So a little closer examination and we made the find.

Also keep in mind there has been a lot of vandalism to cemetery’s, specifically knocking over gravestones. Two of my cemetery caches were hit recently with a lot of the old stones being knocked over and broken.

Just something Else to think about and keep an eye out for.
