Add this to your next post in order to get the picture to show up:
Africa.
I saw it on a travel program on PBS a few nights ago.
What the pictures don’t show is that this is at the absolute top of an absolutely humongous waterfall, several hundred feet (or more) up.

We have one!
We live in SE Waukesha county, so of course we have it set to alarm for Waukesha county. We also include Jefferson, Walworth and Racine counties too.
We live far enough away from a tornado siren that often we don’t hear it. You can’t help but to hear the radio.
We’ve got some great submissions…. keep ’em coming!

Named after an esteemed and long-time WGA member who doesn’t like to sleep in the great outdoors.
Bump.
Announcement & newsletter coming soon.

The Garmin GPSMAP 60C(x)(s) and 76(x)(s) units are the exception to this general rule. They are a throwback, as they can ONLY accept unregulated external DC power through their round 4-pin connector, not their USB connector.
I have a 60CSx, and as a test I pulled the batteries out while it was connected via the USB cable, and the unit stayed powered up.
So at least for mine, it can be powered through the USB cable.
The “Hiding A Cache” page is more-or-less split up into two sections. One section highlighting rules, procedures, etc.. depending on the location. The other half is more-or-less an echo of the Geocaching.com guidelines.
From the little bit of research I have done, it would appear that Geocaching.com has the most comprehensive (and restrictive) set of guidelines as compared to the other sites. Therefore, if you follow Geocaching.com guidelines, you should be good to go no matter which site(s) you decide to list your caches on. Yes, it is a bit authoritative, but if newbie were to follow them, they would be much *less* likely to run into trouble.
The guidelines that Geocaching.com puts forth (and that our “hiding a cache” page mirrors) are quite land-manager friendly. If us (as geocachers) can make land managers happy, we will be able to continue playing our game on their land. Therefore, it makes complete sense to me to have the most *conservative* guidelines listed.
However, I must side with Rogheff, in that nowhere do we give any listing of geocaching websites. We implicitly direct people to geocaching.com if you include a geocache number (like this: GC3B1), but nowhere on the entire site (that I can find) is a single reference to other listing services (other than in the depths of these forums).
Maybe we should add a section to the “Hiding A Cache” page, talking a bit about listing services.
Geocache Listing Services
Geocaching.com: This is by far the most popular geocache listing service in the world, and contains the most geocaches.
Navicache.com: This site requires no sign-up of any kind use. There is somewhat more flexibility in the types of caches that can be listed on this site.
Terracaching.com: A semi-open community of cachers seeking the highest quality geocaches. Requires “sponsorship” by two other terracaching.com members to use.
Each listing service has its own set of guidelines for placing & publishing a geocache.
I just threw together the descriptions based on my limited understanding of the two “other” sites.
Plucker has always been a little flaky for me.
I just came across a plucker-equivalent: Sunrise XP
This appears to work pretty well and it is fast.
Give it a try.
Tennis Elbow….
er…..
Shoveling Elbow.
Just recently I picked up a pack of Duracell “Pre-Charged” AA’s, along with a 15 minute charger. So far, they seem to be working really well.
Yesterday I picked up a set of AAA’s for my ancient PDA. I could never get the old Ni-MH to work very well in that thing.
Unfortunately, the group sites are for tent camping only.
