I see they picked one of ‘Lil Otter’s caches that gave me troubles! Congrats!

Darn, It is more exciting to watch M&C pile up their numbers than watching a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Congratulations Folks. We are all excited for you.For you newbies watching M&C have been caching at a steady rate of just over one per day for the past 14+ months. There is no race here, just good solid dedication to the sport.
Kudos M&C, keep up the good work.
I love this idea!

Nice touch! At first it seemed a bit large, but it is an eye catcher. I think it is a good idea!

I have two small kids who sometimes accompany me when I go Geocaching. I have started adding a “Family Friendly” logo to some of my cache pages, http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=66740&Nocache=0.7055475 with a link to a web page saying what makes up a family friendly cache. I am looking for input as to what else I might include on that page: http://www.ticon.net/~bretgeo/family_friendly.htm.. I also have some HTML code that anybody is welcome to use if they want to include it in their cache descriptions.Ken seems to have the right idea. It sounds like Jim is going to teach people how to operate a GPS, and in the process introduce them to Geocaching. Given his love of nature that is evident by his pictures, I’m sure he will no doubt be an asset in teaching newbies about our sport.
As far as spending your money on the class Ray, why not take your Trudy out on the town instead. I’m sure you know enough about the sport to teach a class on your own.
One of these days I will have to make it down your way for a breakfast meeting. Take care!
Problem is you don’t know which reporter has preconceived negative views on Geocaching before an interview.
I have given or been responsible for 3 interviews, and feel they are good for the sport. Keep up good work Jonathan.

The mere thought of a tick vomiting, defecating or urinating on me is more than I care to imagine at the moment
Traditional removal methods such as tweezers (with or without twisting), fingers, petroleum jelly, fingernail polish, applying kerosene or use of a hot match head are not recommended as any one of these procedures can cause the tick to vomit, defecate or urinate. This can increase the likelihood of infection as the infectious agents are within the tick’s bodily fluids.

I started out using a Garmin II, but left if on my dashboard for almost a year and I think it froze…ruining the LCD display. I replaced with a used Garmin III from eBay and have been very happy with it! I also had a Garmin 12 that my neighbor let me use “forever” so that I could teach him how to use it, but when he moved to the Antigo area, I insisted that he take it with him. I already have several of his shotguns that he insists that I “keep for him”
I like the way my Garmin III works as a dash mounted GPS and by simply unplugging it, works great as a hand held. The Garmin 12 held sat locks very well under tree canopy compared to the other 2 I might add, making it a very nice starter GPS!
Someone has rescued my Travel Bug Ozzy! Sounds like it was NOT an easy find either
Rocky Mountain Traveler has logged a cache on your watch list (Mrs. Fields). You can visit the cache at the following link:

Wow, this was a little bit of work with the amount of snow left on the ground. We camped about 300 yards away from the cache, because the snow was too deep about a 1/4 mile past the cache to even walk in. Hit this one with my brother, his girlfriend, my wife, and my dog. Coclimber1115 (my brother) rescued OZZY the TB and will log it. Great cache and great area to put one. We dug in the snow at the wrong location for about 1/2 an hour. I’ll post a picture but beware it is a spoiler. TNLNquote:

24 caches within 5.8 mile radius….not bad! I go to Buxley’s page quite regularly, but thought that some of the Pewaukee/Sussex/Waukesha people would want to show off their super density areas.
I need to make it down that way one of these weekends

I was able to upload a great picture I took at the campout. The problem with changing the “Icon” picture that you fixed before the crash still exists. Thanks for fixing the security thing! Take care.

Many people have no maps built in and do just fine. I have a Garmin III with a cheesy map built in, but have never used that function. I have used Delorme maps on my computer though.

Hi,
After spending days on the web looking into geo caching I think I’m ready to purchase my first GPS. The eTrex Legend looks just fine for my purpose. I’m wondering if the base map included with the Legend is sufficient for geo caching or do I need a supplemental map, ie MapSources Topo?Any replies would be greatly appreciated!

I go with jvechinski’s reply. If the serial port on the computer is working, then I would bet on the GPS’s setup.
