Don’t forget to register!

The event page says to bring something based on your last name.
The registration says both last name and geocaching name.

I’m so confused! 😕 😉

Sometime between when you last checked it and when you posted this, secret operatives updated the registration page to say “last name” instead of “geocaching name”.

Last name it is:
* Last name A-H: dessert
* Last name I-P: salad, fruit, and/or vegetables
* Last name Q-Z: chips, pretzels, and/or snacks

I like any cache, no matter what, although I do favor the larger containers in the woods or the fields. I actually find myself hiding more micros these days, but they’re easier to find hiding places for and to replace if stolen. I recently put one in a guardrail, but it was placed near a point of interest and is easy for those who are physically impaired to get to.

I’ll echo these points. I’m an equal opportunity cacher; I’ll go after most anything, although the one thing I tend not to get too excited over is when someone hides a match holder or film container in a place that easily could support a full-sized cache.

You can’t link directly to the images on the site. You need to save the map to your computer, then upload the image somewhere (the webspage your ISP gives you, GC.com or WGA galleries, Photobucket, etc.) and link to it there.

In GSAK you can create a separate database for your POIs. (Database -> New)

I have one that I call “Keeper Waypoints” where I keep among other things, my home and work coordinates, so wherever I am I can easily route myself home.

Whenever you use GSAK to send caches to your GPSr, after you’re done, switch to the keeper database and do it again. It won’t overwrite anything; it’ll just add the extra waypoints.

There’s the awesomely fantastic creation by an amazing, intelligent, and dare I say, good looking geocacher which can be found at http://www.inatn.com/

What software do you use to manage your geocaches/GPS?

I have a puzzle cache in Kenosha called # X ., where I used the same code. Only, I had no idea it was called “PigPen” or that there was an actual font for it. It was something I remebered reading in a mystery type book when I was a kid. Something I thought most people would have trouble solving. At least now I know why some folks were able to solve the puzzle so quickly!

If you like how I did mine, I’d be glad to help you do one like it.

Hey! You still owe me lunch at Andy’s! 😆

You can probably take a screenshot of the Excel page, then trim it down to just what you want to show on the cache page.

I reserved a campsite for Friday night, and will have a campfire after 8pm at my campsite. (Site 15). All are welcome to extend their trip to Wildcat by coming early and camping Friday night and enjoying the fire, a few beverages and tales from the trail.

I got my reservations in; I’ll be across the street at site 16 Friday and Saturday night.

Hi Dave,

Great to hear that I will have good neighbors camping this time! K0rpl’s mother got a little rowdy at MWGB, and one of the Honeybunnies snores a lot so I didnt get much sleep on the last camping adventure. (On the other hand the Bandits and Da Bloodhound are excellent camping partners, DB loaned me a cooler, and the Bandits gave me cold beer before I had any.)

I will be bringing along some Leinie’s Red and Honeyveiss. Do you have other preferences as my nearest neighbor so that I can bring along the brew that you find most satisfying while swapping tales from the trail?

zuma

Leinie’s is always good. I’ve gotten to like their new Sunset Wheat.

Next year I’ll probably be camping in the same place: On the east side on the other side of the fence from the Best Western. There’s a hole there to make it easy to go back and forth.

It’ll be back at Kendallville next year — August 8-10, I believe.

And yes, we have spoken to the organizers about bringing this to Wisconsin. At this point, the plan is to stay in Indiana. But they know we would be interested.

If you’re a Trudy camper, the Best Western is already taking reservations over the phone.

I showed up Saturday morning. The only Wisconsin cacher I saw all weekend was kbraband, and the closest other cachers were ClikChik and GeekBoy.

That’s not exactly true….I ate lunch with my son right next you you at Taco Bell…..I would have introduced myself but I didn’t wish to interrupt your conversation.

Also forgot to add to my above post……Two snakes, Poison Ivy, Falling from a bridge and a narrow escape from a large falling tree limb…….

I remember you sitting there, but I didn’t know if you were a geocacher or not, much less one from Wisconsin! Ah well…

[Cheesehead Dave]

I showed up Saturday morning. The only Wisconsin cacher I saw all weekend was kbraband, and the closest other cachers were ClikChik and GeekBoy. Maybe I was just too far away from the other camping areas.

Had a great time, though! I only cached on Sunday, and I found 19 caches in four states!
