Congratulation Jomusky, on a great month! Looks like you had some challenging fun while chasing Lonelies in the snow! We really enjoyed reading your logs. Keep having fun out there! 🙂 🙂

Is there a fee to hold a CITO Event in a Dane County Park?

Here’s a “Stumper” maybe! I loaded 622 caches via GSAK and then loaded 6 more using a PQ in GC. The 622 caches disappeared and only the six were left. Why is that? Guess I” go hunt on the GSAK forum to see if I can find the answer.

If the files have the same name, the second edition would have replaced the first. Did the two files have unique names?

Now if only there was a way to make a spreadsheet too. I can make a text doc but haven’t figured out the spreadsheet.

Kinda close:

FILE
PRINT
GRID COLUMNS
REPORT HEADING (If you want)
PREVIEW
then PRINT if you like what you see.

Otherwise there may be some macros….but the above is the quickest

If for some reason you can only add one DB, you can create a single, overall ‘Master Trip’ DB which contains all of your caches.

To combine existing DBs, create a Master, and then open and copy (combine) each DB into the Master,

Click on
DATABASE
MOVE/COPY WAYPOINTS
SELECT your Master DB as the DESTINATION DATABASE
SELECT COPY waypoints
SELECT GO.

Do this with all of the DBs you wish to combine.

One advantage of an overall DB is that you can plot and see your entire trip within one map……or do any other sort of data manipulation you’d like.

Looks like a great app! Lots there that will greatly aid benchmarking. Thanks!

We second that! Kudos for the new look and content! 🙂 🙂

Trumped. The revisit no longer serves a useful purpose, as it is now ‘known’ that the cache is still present and playable. This is the same reasoning for ‘no Revisit after a Revisit.’

From the given rules:

5. How to score points! There are five primary ways to score points for a lonely cache.
. . .

b. You find a cache that you have found before and confirm its location and condition in a note on the cache page. If it is a multi, you must confirm the condition of all stages. See rule clarification d in section 12 . . .

12. Rule Clarifications
. . .
d. A cache cannot be confirmed (either way) after a find, a confirmation note, an enable note, or an owner maintenance visit log is posted during the 2 month period, unless there is a subsequent DNF. If the last log on a cache is an confirmation note, it cannot be confirmed again, regardless of how long ago it was found.

There are instances where ‘picking up the trash’ is needed on caches that have few finders, none of which participate in the LCG. So you rely on those that do play to do the very best they can, with good faith. Certainly something can be missed, but at least the WGA is being active and diligent in going after the trash. IOHO, we think the LCG participants are doing a good job. (And as participants, rest assured that completing a trash pickup mission with container in-hand, proof of a successful hunt, is so rewarding that it makes it worth the extra effort to scour the area well.)

As far as Multis, yes, every WP must be checked out, and if you look into the CR mission details, you’ll see that DeeJay does a great job of including all the WP coords. The same goes for Puzzle Finals.

This ‘Lonely CITO’ seems to be working well.

It’s not all about the numbers – it’s all about the fun.

I am a numbers guy – but that’s what is fun about it 🙂 I do enjoy my harder ones, but my idea of fun is a 2 mile hike in the snow up a hill to find an ammo can…not to find a nano at the end of a branch But to each his own – I have to admit I have found some nanos at the end of a branch, after 5 visits and that feeling is a little better then the Stop Spots – but on the other side 50 bucks in gas and 12 hours invested to get 8 caches is not my idea of fun…

If you live in the Fox Valley, a 2 mile hike in the snow up a hill to find an ammo can = 50 bucks in gas and 12 hours invested to get that one cache. 🙂 🙂
