We are considering flying there but it is a day-before decision. Very weather (and schedule) dependent.
On the Left Side of the Road...I stand by everything that I said. I believe what was “out of hand” was how this was handled in the field and nothing presented here has convinced me otherwise.
That is my opinion. Others have theirs, and they are fully entitled to them and to express them.

Maybe the Bomb Squads should have a geo-cacher on retainer. Send him over to check it out first.
This bomb squad literally did. And it didn’t do any good.
I’m going to make a container that looks like one of those Wiley Coyote black ball bombs and paint “Official Geocache” on the outside of it.
Oh wait, there’s already one like that hanging in a park in the area, but it’s green with no camo tape so it must be ok… 😯

When I was a volunteer firefighter, I learned the need to identify and respond to anything that might be a hazard to myself or other emeregency service workers.
My point being, use all the tools at your disposal to make that identification. It’s one thing to be totally unfamiliar with finding a little cache stuck INTO a tree (not hanging from it)…in the middle of a patch of trees…by no building or people in particular. But that wasn’t the case, at all.
Looks like a point was trying to be made here.

You have gotta be kidding.
Yes, I am kidding, but it is still lame.

On the Left Side of the Road...I stand by my assessment. We label everything above micro-sized. (Ok, I’m sure you might find one we forgot.) Ya, you can put a label on a micro, but how many bison tubes or film cans do YOU all have out there that have one?
This container–as our log shows–was about 2x the size of a film can. Yup, that sure looks like a little bitty bomb…hanging in the middle of the woods (not off the bridge like I said before, that was a different one)…not by any building or population center…
Holy crap.
On the Left Side of the Road...Ok, I looked at the cache log, and you want to know what’s really lame? The responder, who claims he/she didn’t want to take the “1% chance” that it was NOT a geocache…goes and claims a find on the cache!
Lame, lame, lame.
Too much trouble to grab the GPS, but no trouble at all to up the ol’ find count after blowing this little tube to smithereens.
On the Left Side of the Road...Agreed…
Now, how many ammo cans have we all found in parks, still bearing the bright yellow “50 Cal. Ammo” lettering–or worse? 😯
On the Left Side of the Road...Hmmmm…I wonder….
Although GC166HZ was hardly a big bomb-like PVC thing. If memory serves, it was about 3 inches long, on a string, hanging off the bridge. Not what I’d ever think a reasonable person would consider bomb-like.
Though based on the logs….probably so.
On the Left Side of the Road...Glad this thread isn’t what I thought it was…
Congratulations! Enjoyed meeting you at the LCG event in January.
On the Left Side of the Road...Sorry, we were out looking for more of Marc’s cemetery caches that aren’t there. Back now.

You want misery?????
Misery is coming home later after work and finding out that your septic system drain field is frozen!That IS MISERY!!!
Mathman, I feel your pain…you have my sympathy for your misery.
Hmmm…If one lives in the country, I have heard that it is possible to drop a sump pump on a chain into the second (greywater) tank and pump that water into the surrounding farmfields. Not that I have done this of course, just that I have heard that it’s a good temp solution until the field thaws. Obviously, if you’re in a rural subdivision, not so workable.
After all, most of the time your septic pumping truck drives down the road to the nearest farm field they have a contract with to spread on.
On the Left Side of the Road...The day you fall in the mud/get a boot full of snow/take a dunk in the pond is the day you forgot to bring a change of gear.

ok i did exactly what you said and nothing none of the caches showed up on the gps and there is a bunch of folders and other stuff on the SD card.
Once you have them on the card, and the card in the GPS, you need to load the file into the GPS. In other words, just like a computer, the file doesn’t move from the storage media (the card) into the computer (the GPS) until you “open” the file.
To load them to the GPS, press:
Menu
Menu (i.e., press menu twice)
Use the arrow key to scroll up to “System Setup”
Enter
Use the arrow key to scroll to “Transfer my data”
Enter
Use the arrow key to select “Load”
Enter
Make sure the right .usr file is showing (i.e., if you’ve put more than one on the SD card, make sure it is the right one). If not, hit “enter” and use the arrow key to select the right file.
Use the arrow to select “load Data”
EnterNow exit out of that menu system and your waypoints will be there. (On the lowrance, if all else fails, press exit.)
