    This is the toughest part. I have a flexible schedule during summer and live within walking distance. Rattle my cage and I’ll probably be able to join/meet/help you.

    From appearances, you’re close.

    To produce the following I used http://www.acme.com/licensemaker . Note it would only work for me using Netscape, it did not work using IE.

    Congrats. Good thing your hobby wasn’t skeet shooting.

    My handle was not my first choice.
    kbraband was already taken.

    I’m in for sure.

    Not to start one of those MAC vs PC type discussions, but I use a PocketPC (not Palm OS). I use Spinner that sends its output directly to the PDA (no Plucker like intermediate). I dropped my PALM a few years back from a table top — total write-off, and thats when I switched.

    I didn’t buy it specifically for geocaching (geocaching hadn’t been invented yet), more expensive, ties to Bill Gates, but it works for me.

    Internet research has yielded a probable background (not confirmed by the person in question):

    From http://www.backyard-birds.com/speakers.html
    ===============================
    Jim Sernovitz
    Mequon, WI

    JIM is a professional photographer, writer and computer consultant. He also teaches photography at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and at Mt. Mary College. He gives photography seminars to photo clubs and various colleges and adult-ed schools such as UW-Waukesha and Hope College in Michigan. He has had articles and photos published locally, nationally and internationally; has won several awards for his photo work, and had some photos purchased for private collections and displays.
    Jim is the owner of Traveling Camera Productions, which presents live narrated travelogues to schools, senior centers and nature groups. He formerly owned The Enlargement Works, a professional-quality custom photo lab, and was a partner in Big Systems, a dealer and distributor of large format digital imaging equipment.
    =============================

    I believe I know his handle but I am not sure. If correct, he’s done over 100 caches, although nothing since March, hidden none but has done over 30 benchmarks.

    Well isn’t it often the case that during the reception they have a Cachebarr?

    Great story. Hopefully the photographer caught some of the hunt on film.

    Not to speak for Ranger Boy but this is in Menomonee Park in NE Waukesha County.

    in reply to: Nike Tour 6/ 8? #1735461

    Its in my calendar … are you going to make an event cache out of it?

    in reply to: Missing Travel Bugs #1745332

    I buried one Monday (after learning about the concept at the campout) in a similar cache in England.

    in reply to: Garmin V version 2.20 #1739493

    I had Chicago loaded and that was where it would lock, during the transition from basic detail to loaded detail.

    Loading all of Chicago swamps the V. So I stop just around O’Hare. If I route across the boundary, the V since day one has a cow.

    in reply to: JTHORSON Logs 500th #1735416

    Thank you for the kind words.

    …and to prove the game is still fresh and exiting for me, I couldn’t find my 501st.

    in reply to: Nike Missile Site Tour #1735398

    Just for the record I’ll be there.

    in reply to: Garmin V version 2.20 #1739489

    I load every revision almost on the day it comes out. I watch the bulletin boards for notifications.

    Specifically, I upped from 2.12 to 2.20, which seemed to be a bookkeeping upgrade becase 2.12 worked ok and 2.20 didn’t add any noticable features.

    There are a few complaints on the bulletin boards, but not in the numbers you’d expect.
