Congrats on the fast ascent to 1000! Nice meeting you back in June. I thought I was approaching pretty quickly this year, but I guess not. All the scouting activities seriously cut into the geocaching time.
I’m not sure what the BSA has in mind either. I got the catalog yesterday and have similar concerns to those already mentioned.
I will offer this for possibly some help. Our local Council (Chippewa Valley) has set up there own series of caches on a piece of land that the Council owns. There are four or five series of caches (none buried) that take the boys throught out the property to find clues for each series final. There are small caches with BSA questions that the boys have to answer to find the coordinates for the series final which is an ammo box. None of the caches are published on gc.com and some of them are probably closer than GC requlations. They were set up for the sole use by the Scout units in our area. The Council has some printed cards with all of needed coordinates for units to use when going out to the property.
Not sure if this helps, but I thought I’d offer it up.
We have one on the family truckster since November, but have only got hits from my sisters so far. Went to MOGA in March and took the car for the gas mileage, but I wished I had the SUV with the TB. Have had it up to Boy Scout camp a few times where I figured it may get noticed, but not yet.
Congrats!
Nice meeting you at Zuma & Robin’s Wedding event.

We did this trip last August. There is groceries/shopping/gas at all the villages in Yellowstone (Canyon, Old Faithful, Norris, etc). I’m not sure about WI-FI. I’m guessing they have it had most of the lodges (we were camping), but we were too busy with all the other places to visit to worry about.
I did however buy the Garmin Colorado specifically for this trip (I had thought about upgrading to something different) and it was a perfect fit for this trip! I was able to load all the caches along our route and in the parks and had all the cache descriptions right in the GPS so I knew what to do on the Earth Caches and Virtuals when we came to one. It also tracked all the finds. The downside was logging all the finds once we returned to civilization.
Good luck with deciding what to see and do. No matter how long your trip is, it is not long enough! We have been there twice now in the last 7 years and we will probably go again in another five. It is just such a beautiful and awesome place to visit and site see!

Team jchaasThanks for all you do Dave!
I do this by using GSAK. In GASK there is a function to export all caches to a TomTom “.poi” file. I then copy the poi file directly into my TomTom.
I was going to try and make a run at this for May. I thought I was off to a good start, but I see that I am just a pretender at this point. With most of my weekends already booked, I’ve got a tough road ahead.

I would be willing to help with this any way I can. I am in the process of oraganizing our Troop to attend this event.
Congrats on the achievement! Nice meeting you at the WWFM event last November.
I’m heading down to my folks place in IA Thursday evening and then picking up my sister Friday morning on the way down. We should be arriving Friday afternoon at the Indian Creek campground. Let’s hope for good weather!
How about 5/16 at the WGA Geo-Campout? What better time for a party?
I am going down by myself and was originally planning on just doing casual caching. As of now I’m planning on entering the single competition, but I have not officially signed up for that yet.
