Reading this topic reminded me of a similar old-time technology discussion in these forums. I did a search and found it here: http://wi-geocaching.com/forums/Forum8/HTML/000379.html

I still have the hat. If you would like it returned to you, please let me know.

Way to go, Bill! This is truly a noteworthy accomplishment. How many caches did you find along the way?

By the way, I believe a geocacher won the men’s division of the marathon. We met Shane Carr while geocaching last year at T&B’s “Diamond in the Rough” cache. He was there with wzbt03, who (I think) is Shane’s father-in-law. Do I have my facts correct, Jeff?

I hope we don’t question whether the WGA is too large simply because two members who plan their own event have to limit how many can attend. These are of course two separate issues: a) size of the WGA and b) the number of people that can be accomodated at a specific event organized by local geocachers.

I think it’s great that so many members are planning and hosting their own event caches. If they have to limit how many can attend to ensure that everyone who does so has a good time, more power to them, as long as the limiting is done in a fair way, such as the first 60 persons to sign up in advance.

If you’re interested in marking your trails using GPS, here’s a very interesting web site that contains a tutorial on how to do it: http://www.wavelengthstudios.com/mtnbike/gpsmapstutorial/
The author marks mountain bike trails, but his technique could be applied to any type of trail.

For the Ice Age Trail, refer to this cache to see waypoints listed by geocachers: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=252ac404-c286-400c-9119-cf5c587fe04d

Cool. Thanks for pointing it out.

[kbraband]

We would if we could but alas we can’t on those weekends. However, I hope lots of us can. Nice going, Rhonda and Tony!

Welcome back. I remember you and your unfortunate episode when you came down for the picnic.

Ouch. I like it better when the cable guy gives me a free card.

Yesterday the cable guy came for a service call. I mentioned that I eventually wanted to go with a wireless home network. He asked, “Do you need a WiFi card for your notebook?” and he gave me one. Cool! Tonight as I ran a few errands I took my WiFi-equipped notebook with me and discovered a couple of hotspots in residential neighborhoods. Now I can’t wait to get downtown to Pere Marquette Park and other free sites to try it out.

Leave the morning of. Return the evening of. Beyond that, specific times are up for discussion.

[kbraband]

We noticed this too. Our webmasters have been requested to check on it and let us know what’s up. Thanks for pointing it out!

The legend of the mystery hat lives on. Here’s a photo from our expedtition on the Mississippi River. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?IID=83f1316f-6ff5-4312-a3d4-d461c8263797&LID=5031697
