    Imagine the convenience having the cache page for every cache in the state in your pocket.

    Now imaging having a quick way to sort through to the next nearest cache or being able to read the previous logs on the fly.

    And when you get to the cache that requires math functions- it’s a calculator

    Then realize how handy it would be to be able to automatically decode hints and take notes or record other vital information.

    Then to top it all off, you could also have the phone numbers and e-mail addresses of all your caching cohorts handy too.

    And if you buy a WI-FI capable model, you could go to the nearest hotspot to check your e-mail and log your finds.

    Ready to buy one yet?

    in reply to: Hiking Boots? #1746613

    Most of my boots have been combat boots

    Late last summer I bought a pair of Redwing “Irish Setter” hiking boots at Gander Mountain. They are waterproof Gore-Tex and have 400 grams Thinsulate. I now slosh through water and mud without hesitation and my feet have always been warm and dry. The deep lugged sole provides excellent traction for climbing those leave-covered ravines, but I have noticed a lot more mud being tracked into the cachemobile.

    in reply to: How to unarchive a cache? #1739748

    If it is actually archived (not just temporarily disabled), only an approver has the ability to re-enable the cache page. A quick email to Brian (Grousetails) or Brian (SHBHTT) and i’m sure they can fix you up.

    WOW! Way to go Bob & Pat!!

    You didn’t expect this 9 months ago, did you?

    Great job to all those who made the board!!

    I’m curious- did it end up being a running race from cache to cache?

    in reply to: Uncle_Fun marks 300 and sons mark 100 #1736803

    There’s few thing I like more than seeing families making milestones together. Congratulations folks!!

    in reply to: Madison Joe hits 300th cache #1736790

    Congratulations MadisonJoe! I feel better knowing others have also been seriously afflicted by this geocaching disease.

    in reply to: Chiot posts 100th find #1736787

    Congratulations Chiot! Picking up 100 in the northern part of the state is an even greater accomplishment.

    in reply to: FolkTrakers find 500 #1736783

    Way to go Folk Trakers!! There must have been an extra special Hootie-Hoo at 500.

    in reply to: First To Find Awards #1746550

    Actually, in my experience, most caches do not have FTF prizes. I have left a couple in mine, one being a blue “first place” ribbon, and the other being a geo-coin. I was thinking that a gift certificate to a fine local eatery would be a good one. It will be interesting to hear what others think about the subject.

    For me, the best prize is the fun in trying to be FTF. I have only done it a few times, but I enjoyed the hunt that much more knowing I may be the first cacher in an area.

    in reply to: campground check #1754474

    With 49 days left until the campout, the register now shows over 100 teams planning to attend. It will be interesting to see how many more sign on this coming month.

    Can you tell i’m excited?

    I asked for a Palm Handheld and this is what I woke up with Christmas morning-

    No Batteries Required.

    Geez…..Thanks for making me feel OLD!

    in reply to: Watch List #1746519

    Many young people don’t believe me when I tell them about my first years of computing. I started with a 3,600 bps modem and saved data to a standard audio cassette with an old-fashioned tape recorder. After that came the 8″ floppy drive.

    Maybe I am a computer geek.

    in reply to: Wayside rest stops #1746512

    Great article; thanks for sharing it Ken.

    I almost crashed trying to pull into a wayside once. It turned out that they removed the driveway to prevent people from using it. I know of several others that are closed or completely unmaintained. I find it very sad.

    I prefer to avoid the freeway and take the old 2-lanes whenever possible. Thanks to the Interstate highway system, we can now travel across the nation and see absolutely nothing.
