The grand total is 1000 finds. Of these 100 how many do you actually remember?
Two?
Actually, I can describe quite a few caches years after I have found them. (Probably over 50% of my total finds). But then, there are a lot that I can not.
When: Friday, November 13th.
Where: Stevens Point area
Bookmark: Tour 7 Point
Congratulations!
MAC is friendly to geocaching, there just are not the programs for it to run on a MAC.
GSAK has no plans on creating a MAC version.
-cheeto- I have not posted a congratulations on this thread. I think this accomplishment is pointless and these guys are only out for the numbers.
They claim they want to be taken to nice trails with scenic overlooks but in reality all they want is to reach into a culvert or look for a nano under a garbage can. /-cheeto-
1. Yes, I went for the numbers, but also the experience.
2. No, (I) am not particularily interested in nice trails with overlooks. Zuma is full of hot air, and will talk about anything!!! I see his point, that it is nice for a trail leading somewhere scenic, but ……
3. The caches are not to be remembered. Too many, all similar. The trip is!
4. I did not do it for congratulatory messages from anyone. I think, perhaps tongue in cheek, they come from envious cachers!
I downloaded and looked at two of these programs this afternoon. (Do not remember which ones). Compared to GSAK, they suck!
I run Fusion on my Mac, which allows me to open a windows frame, and use GSAK. I would recommend this.
Saturday, during the Big Day, we hit around 30 DNF’s.
Maintenance? Well, the owner needs did not find logs to know, and from reading others entries, a lot of people are not entering them. so …. a major problem.
Why the high number? Two weeks ago they had heavy rain. How much? Well, one bridge we stood on to retrieve a cache was at least ten feet above the creek. One of the past logs talked about wading in water over the bridge to get to the cache!
This type of trip also requires a lot of prep time. I estimate I spent 10-15 hours setting up the route.
Downloaded a bunch of pre-constructed PQs, mapped them out, looked them over, back to GC to add more caches, mapped again, back to fine tune the PQs, more mapping, looking for an optimum route, more caches added, some weeded out, mapped again, back to GC to create one final PQ, mapped it again, thought some more about the route, and finally, using GSAK to create a hit list in order of caches to be done.
Printed out six pages of the hit list, and about a dozen or maps showing close up on the roads where they zig-zagged alot. Turns out our mapping was not up to date, even in the newest GPS units. A couple of places where we expected roads they are none, not even a grass strip to drive down.
And stock up on batteries. We did not actually run out, but came close.
Muther and Sun caches are almost all NON Winter Friendly.
Also, you are traveling back country roads, about 50% paved, 40% gravel, and 10% dirt or grass strips. And they are one lane! Literally.
We drove down Friday evening, and started caching right away. so we went some 40 hours without sleep.
Congratulations!
I was not aware that GSAK works with any Apple products. You might want to double check the …. function of the macro.
