Welcome to the land of 14-ners. (no, not mountain elevations, I’m talking about the temperature) I hope you & Tina & Homer enjoy your time here!
We’ve never met (yet) but we have found a bunch of your caches. Welcome back!
- We use GPSr’s instead of paper maps
- We look at favorite points of caches when planning our route
- We consider what challenge caches we’re working on as we plan a trip or route
- Google and Tripadvisor have replaced AAA Trip tiks
- Sometimes we’ll pick caches and plan trips around that, other times we’ll pick a destination/attraction/park and plan caches around that
- We do however still consult travel guide books if planning a trip of significance
- As always we look for waterfall hikes whether they have nearby caches or not
- It’s about the hike, the adventure, being outdoors, not about the caches
- It’s about the caches, the challenges, not about the hike. And it’s never been about the numbers.
- We are much better dressed for bushwhacking than we were in our pre-caching days.
- We can go to just about anywhere in Wisconsin and look up caching friends for an adventure or two. 🙂
I downloaded ingress on my iphone, even watched the initial video online, couldn’t understand it.
So here we go….
I feel like the last time I had an FTP was when Sandlanders had more finds than posts!
We’re having green beer tonight.
Congrats Ed on 1,000 blue smileys. That’s a lot of question marks!
For the first time ever, I had pie for breakfast, pie for lunch, and pie for dinner on Pi day. I did manage to have pizza and chicken somewhere along the way as well. For those of you keeping score, it was two apple pie slices and one French silk. Oh – and some chocolate mint girlscout cookies as well. Some girlscouts set up an ambush outside of Marty’s Pizza; it was beyond my control to resist.
Congrats on 5,000 smileys. If you spent an average of 10 minutes searching for, 15 minutes driving to, 15 minutes driving from, 5 minutes walking to, 5 minutes walking from, and 4 minutes logging each cache, that works out to 270,000 minutes, or 4,500 hours, or 187.5 full days invested in this crazy game. Way to go! 🙂
Congrats on number four thousand!
A couple of years ago I loaded a bunch of caches onto my Nuvi, went out and found them, and deleted them. Last year I found them back on the Nuvi and deleted them again. Today I found them back on the Nuvi again. Anyone know how to delete something from a Nuvi, short of placing it behind the rear wheel before backing out of the parking area.
You can delete the GPX file, which doesn’t do the job because they’ll come right back, as you found out. There are supposedly two ways to permanently get rid of them. One way is to reset the unit to its factory defaults. But then any other saved locations are gone too. There is another way that Garmin once mentioned to me in a tech support call, but I went the reset route and don’t recall what it was.
It’s interesting to note that in Garmin handheld GPSr’s all you have to do is delete the GPX file. But in automobile Nuvi’s that way doesn’t work.
From time to time I just reset my Nuvi, and re-enter my home coords.
Doh! Thanks Chris, I see now how to access the events list in one click. The tabs to the left (WGA Modules) and right (Info Center) next to the Events tab do nothing when you click directly on them. You have to scroll through their drop down menus. Evidently the Events tab functions differently; it will show events by clicking directly on it, without having to go through the menu. I was hovering the mouse cursor over the events tab to scroll through the dropdown menu like the other tabs.
10-1/2 hour bump. A new record?
I forgot all about page 200. I guess I have to settle for 201. Not the same though.
