The other cool thing that I couldn’t wait for was getting all the neat icons for the different types of caches and of course for all of the different coins.

Glad to hear that you got something out of it.

Congrats! My first was a film canister, but that was a big rush too. Now you’re part of the cult. At least we don’t do human sacrafices anymore. At least not since people started hiding things to keep us distracted.

I just use my 60cx. I will get around to buying a dash mount for it, but in the mean time, I just stick it between the dash and the windshield behind the steering wheel. I don’t have to turn my head away at all. I can just glance down. I personally like the idea of just slipping it into my pocket when I need to leave the vehicle. I don’t like having to find a hiding place all the time. Here in Milwaukee, they have become somewhat of a hot commodity among thieves, so I like to pocket it. Sooner or later it will be standard equipment in a vehicle anyway.

furfool–there is a mac program similar to GSAK called maccaching. i looked at it a little, but not enough to recommend it, or know how it works. i am also using GSAK in the windows environment on my mac.

usually when i am planning a cache run i will print a sheet of the caches i might try to find, anywhere from 5-20. i list the difficulty, terrain, size, and hints. and if it is a mystery cache, i will also list the corrected coords. not quite paperless, but 1 sheet instead of 20 is better in my book. and then i can write notes on the sheet, since i can’t remember a cache by the time i get home.

My wif installed maccaching a couple of weeks ago. I played around a little bit with it, but need to screw around a little more. I didn’t realize that it was similar to GSAK. I agree that it really cuts down on the paper, and I too will still write some notes as needed. I haven’t been able to print anything though because our printer took a dump on us. She just bought a new one last week but hasn’t hooked it up yet. Thanks for the help. And to everyone else as well.

Let me know when the wake and furneral is.

Thanks for the input. I guess I don’t really need it that bad after all. At least if I change my mind later, I’ll know who to talk to. Of course by then everything here will be obsolete.

My wife gave me my Christmas gift three weeks ago. A Garmin GPSmap 60Cx. What I really want right now is a pre-Christmas gift. I have no idea what to get for her. I have bought her jewelry and perfume in the past. In fact, she hardly ever wears any of it. I have never personally known a woman to have more shoes and purses than she does. So, with all of the above aside, I am asking, no begging for some suggestions on what to get for her. The only suggestion she ever makes is jewelry, and that is out of the question this year. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Looks clockwise to me. I only get the sight for about 5 seconds before it goes blank. Maybe because of dial up?

GSAK. Does that work on a mac? Seems like Groundspeak is geared towards pc. It gets to be more of a challenge to get going on mac, however outside of caching, I prefer the mac. I know mac has downloads for caching, but GSAK?
I don’t even know what GSAK does or is supposed to do. If I am going to hit a new area, I go to the home page and enter the zip code and go from there. Then I save the caches I want to a file and load it to GPSr. If I need any other information that doesn’t all fit on the GPS, I make notes in a notebook that I take with me. Going paperless sound great but I don’t think I need all of the extra headaches. Being as illiterate as I am, I can compare it to trying to learn calculus or rocket science.

Another one to add is from the Tapps. It’s Brian’s son. I logged him at an event also.
And if I remember correctly, I think it was Sweetlife, who had a giant wooden Signal.

My most unique was AuntieNae’s suv at the Houdini event.

Welcome to the fun Sunski. Don’t let all that snow deter you. Just because there is a snow attribute listed, doesn’t mean that it might not be buried.

[furfool]

Wow! I hope I never see that. I looked on my first two pages and have a grand total of three. I guess it’s more of a Merry Christmas for me.
