What I would deem my Caching Highlights for 09 –

– Attending the first Annual LCG Event and bowling with my Son.
– Finding See Through Characters after finally solving. I still remember how cold my fingers were when I opened that nano in a brisk -15 degree breeze.
– Helping with hiding temp and permanent caches for the WGA Campout Event at High Cliff and learning how fun being a part of the WGA is.
– Camping and Geocaching with my family at the WGA Campout Event. Our first time camping at High Cliff and were definitely going back!
– Solving Innervisions | Up the Rabbit Hole and hunting the cache with my son to score the FTF.
– Attending Lander & Lancelot’s Barbeque Event in Bonduel with my family.
– Camping at Peninsula State Park with my Family and revisiting many of our favorite Door County spots and caches with my kids.
– Solving and finding Carol for Papr Dolls.
– Placing a devlish tribute puzzle cache for Marc.
– Attending the West Bend Cache Bash with my family and again camping 🙂
– Completing 2 more of the “Pace Yourself” caches with my son
– My son and I taking a .5 mile “hike” in the Fox River to find Start Yer Yakin | Join The Club without a watercraft.
– Finding my 1000th cache – a tribute to me in an awesome spot 🙂
– Finding Urban Myth | My Blood-e-Valentine with my Son and Dave & Jackie.
– A cache tour to Stevens Point with Marc, Benny, & Ryan.

Each year brings many more great trips, events, and memories with my family and caching friends. Here’s to a great 2010!

The macro I found and use will allow you to add multiple GSAK databases to the Nuvi and when you go to the custom POI area you first choose the “database” and then type and so on. You don’t have to remove anything and can keep adding more databases until it fills up.

You might be using a different macro that does not support multiple databases? Or perhaps I’m misunderstanding the question.

Look for the macro that is “by type” called GPX_by_Cache_type.gsk – I found it by starting in the Groundspeak forums and searching. The run screen of the macro has a dropdown for “database to use”.

Every time I read these 2 threads I shake my head and wonder why anyone does this? What purpose does it serve? Is it their way of flagging that they’ve read the virtual? Is it some sort of game within the game that were not privy to? It just makes no sense. Why stop at virtuals then? Why not just log found it logs on all types without visiting? I guess we’ll never know they ‘why’.

Catagory is misspelled.

Thanks for pointing this out marc. I’m assuming this will be announced on the main page and/or in an upcoming newsletter? 😀

Well, besides watching a lot of local caches, here are a few unusual ones….

So when are you going to hunt GCZ8ZK??

HMMMM, does this seem to be running off topic???

It is in the offtopic section so that’s often forgiven.

However, to bring it back on track… I received a blue ray disc player, a 2009 proof coin set (the most important gift each year), and a new coat from Santa.

Hmmmm…I just got a call from a buddy of mine that works for the FBI. He said that the FBI and the FTC were forming a task force investigating illegal park sticker kickbacks schemes…….. He said that they got an anonymous tip…… 🙄

We pay off the FBI and the FTC people with our kickbacks.

So then how do you make any money? 😉

Well, if you have a watch on an event, plus own some caches near that event, you come home from the event to find LOTS of mail in the in-box!

And that is a problem how? 😀

Not a problem at all, especially now that I don’t get as many shopping pitches with the holidays over.
If it weren’t for geocaching, our inbox would probably have cobwebs in it. 🙄

I actually enjoyed the log emails your event “created” for me 😀

A few finds on my arrowhead/petenwell caches as well as a bunch of logs on my cow.

Too bad I couldn’t get away to attend. Sounds like those who did had fun!

I like reading geocaching log emails. I suppose if they were setup to go to my phone and my phone made noises all the time that would be a bad thing 😯

It’s obviously the responsibility of the owner to keep these caches “legal” and it’s the fault of armchair loggers for ruining these in general. However, it’s also unfortunate–and somewhat ironic–that a discussion on these forums that eventually led to a “nastygram” to the owner seems to have led to the archival of these caches. 🙁

I certainly wouldn’t blame the archival on these threads… The owner chose to do what they chose to do. They could have revamped the writeups. They could have chosen to uphold the requirements of the virtual log. Looks to me like they threw in the towel. Similar to what many physical cache owners do when their container is muggled and they don’t choose to just archive it rather than replace and continue.

Oh well, a few less (pretend) caches in the world. Doesn’t bother me too much.

I got 4 Waterproof matchstick containers. And I know exactly where 2 of them are going. Well not exactly…
