Quick question anyone know where to buy city navigator cheap for a garmin 60cs. i would like to buy one but not at 120.oo being that i am laid off i cant afford that right now.
Software or SD card?
My 1 year old maps of downtown Milwaukee are nearly useless as far as the interchanges go….lots of changes there and my maps are now obsolete. So yes if you travel alot or depend on the maps to be accurate you’ll need to update em fairly often.

There was also something involved with checking and getting updates online form Garmin for the CD was a plus vs the SD card (not an option) if I recall correctly.
Hope this helps.
SGH
Yes that was my understanding as well…the software was updateable (to a point) whereas the SD card is what it is.

The SD card is good and simple but then you will not be able to see the maps or plot things on your computer….I have a card for one GPS and a CD for the other…..I use the software on the computer all the time.

Congrats LB7. It was fun going back and forth with you for 1 measly EC! We’ll be watching for 3K soon! 😀
Your help was much appreciated…no man is an island (or something like that).
Great cache….I actually was able to backdate another cache to make things work out and keep the EC as my 2,000th.

Lostby7 – the PVC pipe under the boardwalk was archived and removed some time ago for this very reason – so it would not be mistaken for a pipe bomb.
I got confirmation on the phone from The Tapps/ Brian that he did not have any “lost” versions of that one in the park.
If I hear anything back from Holly, I will post it ..
…for a moment I thought my recall was slipping. Thanks for the info. This looks possibly like a real bomb.
…and the million $ question….was there a Geocaching.com sticker on it?
Yeiks! Real pipebombs are NOT good. I know of at least one cache in the park which resembles (ed) a pipe….though I think it was PVC.
Could very well be the real deal…
your dummy coords go there…. you need to post a reviewer note with the actual coords. I like to also set the real coords up as an “Additional Waypoint” as well so I can keep track of the correct coords.
I have yet to see one….

Congratulations! Which EC marked this milestone?
It was IATCC – Lapham Peak Kettle Pond.
The funny thing is that I claimed it as my 2,000th find and about three hours later I was back to 1,999 finds. I was on the receiving end of my very first deleted “found it” log that night. It seems that after the Waukesha event this past winter (and days after as well) I and several other cachers went to find a geocache, got to ground zero, found the container, signed the logbook and then two months later we all had our finds deleted and were chastised on the cache page for messing with a kids fort at ground zero; it seems that the container we all found was not the geocache but something belonging to the kids who inhabit the tree house…I appealed the deletion with the cache owner but they stated I was free to come back and re-find the actual cache. I’m sorry but there was a container with a logbook I signed it and went on my way…this certainly was not a deliberate act on my part or any of the other finders to deceive or claim a false find. Having the found it logs deleted was a crock. I’m not going to mention the party involved but suffice it to say I’m a but miffed about the situation…..it’s just one more reason why numbers really shouldn’t matter.
What’s important is that ya’ll set caches out for me to find and that I occasionally get to run into you on the trail and at events. Thanks for helping me have so much fun.
Let me also add that the lymes tests are not cheap…or in my case covered by my insurance 👿
Be careful out there.
These two go through caches like I go through socks….oh wait that might be a bad analogy (unless I really do have a shed out back full of socks). Congrats.

new caches in the area? or just in the chocolate fest grounds… im pretty sure that i have found them all in the burlington area..
They place temps out around town…this is non-GC.

It sounds like tons of fun, but didn’t they limit it to ten teams last year?
There was a limit of ten but I think there actually 11 anyway.

I didn’t even know about this. Could someone please explain? I haven’t gone to Chocolate Fest since I was a kid… but this geocaching thing may bring me back.. if only I had some information on it… hmmm?
The geocaching portion is a timed race to find all the caches and get back to the designated location. There are staggered start times.
