    We use both a headlamp and a handheld. Our headlamps are Energizer’s from Walmart….

    I think those are the same one we use as well.

    I use a light that straps around your head. Its always good to have a hands free light when caching.

    Since this thread is basically about caching in the winter and shopping at Pamida ;), I have a question to ask here.

    What type of gloves do you guys wear when caching in the cold? I’m sure the bigger ski gloves might be a bit bulky to be able to navigate the buttons on a GPS. At the same time, the thin driving gloves may not be warm enough for caching. So I would assume you wear something in between.

    I’m sure you remove the gloves once you find the cache and have to sign the log, but that only takes a minute. So no biggie there.

    I use nice big warm leather gloves, when I need to do something on the GPS I take them off quick and do it.

    I found one today that the coords in the log where .35 miles away from the posted coordinates. The last four logs where stating the owner should change the coordinates.

    I bet I know which one that is…. Mountain Bay Trail?

    You had me totally confused on what the date was there for a minute, I seen the Tue Sept 9th and thought all of my clocks and computers were off. Then I noticed the 2008. My bad.

    in reply to: Custom waypoint icons #1913468

    Well I figured out that program is called XImage from Garmin. It is windows only. For the Mac there is no comparable program. I booted up my Windows 7 RC1 virtual machine on my Mac and installed XImage and got the icons over. Well that was all fine and dandy if I managed all my waypoints and caches on Windows. But since I can’t get the custom icons to transfer back to the Mac Garmin software it doesn’t really matter anyways. Thanks for the help.

    What Garmin software are you referring to? There are tons of different software installations offered by Garmin. And GSAK doesn’t work on OS X so I can’t use that to do the custom icons. I can manage my files manually but I just need to know how to get the icons over to the GPS. Thanks

    in reply to: Two Cachers….One Account #1913331

    My mother has been contacted by someone in Green Bay when she cached on her way to the airport in Green Bay and did some caching in Minneapolis that same day. He was trying to be the cache police with her thinking that she didn’t actually cache in those locations.

    in reply to: Geocaching Statistics #1913168

    The one I use called GCStatistic is from http://www.macdefender.org/products/GCStatistic/ It runs on OSX, Windows, and Linux. I have used them on all of the 3 oses and it works great. Oh and the upload directly from the application to Geocaching.com is a great feature. No copy and pasting html needed, but it is available.

    We only ever found 4 of the new ones that were published. We were just walking around grabbing a few trying to keep cool.
