Wow. This looks very cool, especially the ability to create the favorites list. I haven’t taken it for a spin yet, but I plan to.
That’s odd. I still have the Google maps when I’m in reviewer mode, so I hadn’t noticed that they went back to MapQuest.
They may be on the outer limits of 25 miles from Milwaukee, but if you’re looking for a private hiking experience, one of the nicest spots in the area is Pleasant Valley Nature Park, where you’ll find this cache and 3 others: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=a805f0f0-8f8e-41ca-9199-bd9be4695b51
If the tracks are not active and are indeed abandoned, you should be able to hide a cache along them, provided it meets the other guidelines.
Looks good from here!
Those photos with the cover off are probably porno to the geeks.
I recommend you involve someone with professional experience who knows a thing or two about design. If that person is a geocacher, so much the better. In particular, I’m thinking of Snow Goose, who designed the T-shirt for the 2005 WGA Campout (the best design we have had, IMHO).

Hey Russell…no worries! The WGA camp out is this weekend. Once people start logging that, those watching what you’re doing will forget all about you and start jumping on attendees of the camp out.
Too funny! But absolutely true.
Thanks for the laugh.quote:

The private geocaching event of “The Fun Club” will be Saturday, May 20. Since this is the weekend following the WGA campout, I’d like to borrow the eTrex units at the campout, if that works for GrouseTales, Ms. WISearcher, CatHunter and MRAnderson. I understand Ms. WISearcher may or may not be able to attend the campout, but if you’re there, please bring your eTrex. What about the rest of you? Is your GPSr still available for us to borrow? I can return them via mail after 5/20.
How about it, GrouseTales and MRAnderson? Or if you can’t help out, is anyone else who will be at the WGA campout willing to loan an eTrex for a week?

They may have been. All paddles were custom-made in those days.
But even if they weren’t, they were professional explorers whose bodies were conditioned by years of paddling. Weekend recreational paddlers need equipment that fits because our bodies are not conditioned for that kind of repetitive use with ill-fitting equipment.
Can we stop the pot shots at people who try to offer helpful advice about paddling?

I think Cathunter was sharing good advice. Just about any canoe will float empty in still water. The real question is: will it float under the conditions you want to use it for: whitewater (rocks), fishing, racing, camping (how much freeboard), big open water (what about wind), kids on board who like to reach over the side, etc. There’s a lot to consider, even if you think your needs are basic.

Very cool! Jeremy is a great guy. In your photos it looks like there are other geocachers there too. What was the occassion at Groundspeak?
To see how one geocacher did this, check out Rpaske’s Poor Mother Goose seed cache. It was the first of its kind in Wisconsin. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=f9594d8f-1985-452c-b936-3cae408c760c
