I am thinking of trying it in the spring, (at least 1/2 of the distance) & hope to find people to lead, join, or follow.Any interested souls?

I’m interested. Why wait for spring?

But don’t you have to specify in advance what you want to receive in the pocket query file from gc.com? Or do you change the paramaters for the pocket query and receive a special localized file based on where you know you will be going?
In my case, I seldom go on multi-cache “frenzies”, as we used to call them. I like having the hundreds of cache descriptions available. Then if I just happen to be near a cache, I can look it up and decide whether to look for it.
I am now a PDA owner. I am Spinnerized. I am Pluckerized. I have all the cache sheets for the nearest 300 geocaches I have not found loaded into my PDA and into my GPS. One final request… please, no one change anything on their caches!!!
Thanks, Alan! I received several emails from WGA members and I assured them you were on the case. Thanks for your efforts to get things working again.
Thanks for all the timely advice. I’ve been meaning to get a PDA to use for geocaching for some time but just never took the time to research a purchase. This morning I got Spinner working on my notebook computer and I was so impressed that I took the advice from the “hammond” site that Cathunter mentioned and I just bought a Palm IIIxe on eBay. cool!
Our webmasters are Alan and Arn (Team CacheCows) and Jeremy (jvechinski). Jeremy also serves on the WGA board. Alan donates the server space to the WGA from his company’s location in Elkhorn, WI, so we’re very fortunate to have him do so, and fortunate to have such capable computer gurus as our webmasters. The geocaching.com forum issue doesn’t affect the WGA forums because we operate on completely different computers.

I’ve seen this situation a number of times, not young couples but 30- and 40-somethings.
They were probably married.
Not necessarily to each other.AHHHHHHHHH! And the scales fell from his eyes! Thanks!
You guys have me very interested in using Spinner on my notebook computer. I downloaded the program but I ran into a roadblock caused by my ignorance. After installing Spinner I can’t figure out how to start it. I’m using Windows XP. I go to the Start menu>All programs, but it’s not there. I re-installed it, making sure it’s installing into the Programs directory but no luck. When I open the folder for GPX Spinner on my C: drive, I find various icons for txt files and 1 KB html documents but no program file that would start Spinner. What am I missing?

If you want to talk about TRULY tough geocaches — the kind tough enough to keep some geocachers away — you’re talking about long hikes and/or rugged hills. My list for Wisconsin’s toughest geocaches would include: River Cache by JTJ, Andrae Outback and Europe Bay by Yawningdog, Devils Lake Outback Cache by Hotdogs Off Trail, Salute to Stute by GrouseTales, Hixon Forest Cache by Team ZDShadow, Goosey Venus by beggymike14, and Yellowstone Lake State Park by CacheCats. I’ll throw in two of my own: Devil’s Lake Revisited and Pike Powder Hike.
I returned to my gallery just now and noticed it now contains 8 fewer pages. Apparently gc.com changed the setup so they no longer include photos uploaded on your caches pages and in your profile photo file.
Um, I guess I have posted a few photos over the years… 25 pages of them, in fact. http://www.geocaching.com/profile/default.aspx?A=4841

OK, that got my attention. Can I use Spinner on my notebook computer? I don’t own a PDA.
I can attest to the quality of Schrieners, having eaten there about a dozen times. The food is good, and the service is very good. The waitresses still wear those “throwback” style uniforms.

After i’ve done that, which was no problem, I lost the formatting of the text on the page. How do you format text on a page with html?
Formatting text in html requires knowledge of the basic markup tags. For an explanation, see this page: http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/HTMLPrimerAll.html It may seem daunting at first, but for cache pages you can get by with a few of the simple ones such as paragraph breaks.
