Bec- Are you having problem with the download or playing the file on your MAC?
Download appears to be working well.
I just happened to find this map of Buxley’s I saved at the beginning of 2004-
Interesting to compare it to todays image-
Looking at that really reminds me to thank our approvers for all the work they do!
Brian & Brian, THANK YOU!!

Great stuff! We need to find more reporters who will work with the teams as this one obviously did. Good job to all who participated in the input!

UTM serves little purpose when caching with a GPS.
Using topo maps for hiking and such, UTM is actually a lot easier when making calculations by hand. You might recall the military adapted the use of the metric system for mapping a long time ago.
It’s really says something about America, as we are the only country which simply blew off the “worldwide” adaptation of the metric system.
Another shortcut-
If you have a GPX file on the desktop, zipped or not, you can drag it and drop it onto the GSAK desktop icon and it will load the file into GSAK. This also works with GPX Spinner.
A PQ is a query that you submit detailing what cache info you want in your GPX file. You can choose distance from a location, cache types, difficulty, owned by, etc, etc, etc.
Once you select what you want, the GPX file is emailed to you, normally within minutes.
Although a PDA is handy on the trail, you can use a GPX file in your laptop to travel with, enabling you to view all the cache pages without an internet connection.
If you want a GPX file to experiment with, send me an e-mail and I will send you a GPX file to test out.
I also think GSAK is the greatest thing out there. Try it- you will eventually buy it!

I’m not so sure, i’ve met a couple of extremely dangerous women in my days.
Interesting……..
My biggest caching phobia is other people. This includes event caches. Having been in the military for a number of years and then jumping into management left me lacking in the art of general conversation. I sometimes find myself quite stressed when I am heading into a group.
One of the reasons I go- it’s good practice.
Magellan uses “secret” key sequences and/or menus to perform a reset of the unit. Need to know which unit we are dealing with in order to assist further.

That’s above and beyond the call of duty! Well Done!!
I agree with saftey first. There should be no caches within .5 miles of any paved surface.
Unless of course it is someplace totally awesome.
I’ve released 4 geocoins. Two didn’t make it past their first cache. Another didn’t make it past it’s second cache. Tenner has the last one. At least I know it’s safe for now.
I have to wonder, will anyone actually release one of the new WI geocoins? I’d say not, if they are smart.
OK, i’ll play….
If I want a goal tag on my bug, i’ll put one on it. If I wanted my bug in plastic bag, I would of had it that way in the first place!
As far as i’m concerned someone else “modifying” one of my bugs in any way would be no different than if they “modified” one of my caches without my authorization. A big NO-NO!
Likewise, if I want my name on my bug, i’ll put it there. Moreso, I sure as he__ don’t want someone else’s name on my bug!
If the goal for your bug is THAT important to you, put a tag on it before you release it!
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go.

(aka Dr. Suess)If you relly want a great intro to geocaching, you should head east to the “Way up Nord Fall Campout Bash ‘n’ Cache” near Crivitz. It’s not often an even it held up nort, and this looks like it’s going to be a blast for all who can attend.
