I would suggest contacting the owner, he is great about helping out and likes his caches to be found. After all he is in the best postion to give you some good advice on the solution without giving too much away.
There used to be a cache called Haunchyville in Muskego. Haunchyville was mentioned in the some book about weird places in wisconsin. The cache got archived, but I think Geo Ninja is working on bringing it back.
The original cache gave the name of the book. I think it also talked about Elephant Rock in the KM Southern Unit too. I think the book also talked about some huge underwater pyramid too.
LB7 – if you use GSAK, you can generate a customized GPX file with way more logs than a standard pocket query. I also use the user sort to order all my caches in a route that I am planning for the day. Also I just replace the same file on the unit. Overall, I am pleased with how the process works.
But more importantly, Garmin released Beta 2.95 for the Oregon this week. For those that have not upgraded in a while, the accuracy is up, there are several new screen updates, and the POIs are much more organized. Other than a problem with a marine map, no one is reporting any problems with this one. Garmin programmers also threw in a few Easter eggs in reference to an old game called Oregon Trail.
Who knows, maybe the next one will be the Yellowstone.
There is a communication mechanism in place. Simply post a note to cache page to explain the circumstances and the reviewers have something to go on. If there is no response, the reviewers can assume the cache owner is MIA. Simple, effecient and no need for more cache status flags.

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.
I would suggest searching the web. I have gotten great discounts at both Amazon and MegaGPS and would recommend both. Also check out many of the advertisers on GC.com. And while it wouldnt be my first choice, you might want to look at Ebay (buyer beware though)
Having gone through this a couple years ago, you have to install CN on your computer and then upload to your GPS. The map is keyed to your GPS so you cannot install it on another one unless you buy a second license. I believe if you buy a new GPS your have to send your old one to Garmin and they will remove your map and let you install it on a new GPS. And yes, each year you can buy an update for your map.
The SD card is self contained, and goes in your chip slot under your battery. The maps do not load on your computer, they are only on the micro SD card. And you cannot update them. However, you can pass the chip between units without any problem. Since my wife and I both have a GPS, we just take the chip out and put it in the other GPS. Also when we bought new GPSs’ we just moved the chip. Personally, I didnt see the need to update the maps as the road ways dont seem to change all that much. And by skipping 3 updates, I could afford another CN on a micro SD card.
I loaded the free maps from Ibycus on my computer, which seem as good or better than CN. If you do not need auto routing, you can load these same maps to your GPS too.

Will these topo maps work on a Garmin 60CSx?
Since the 60Csx is a mapping unit, it will work. You install to Mapsource first then upload to your GPS.
Our congrats to the one who significantly contributed in us reaching our milestones. Best of luck to you on your next one!
Never argue with someone who knows more than you – we’ll be meeting off of Tamarack at 8:00 am.
Please post a note so we know how many brats to buy!
We’d like to throw in our CONGRATS as well. We look forward to seeing you again in August!
Thanks for the shout out. And the office is in the height of busy season and wont taper off until April. My hunting has been limited to my lunch hours or on my way home.
See as though you just passed 1400 this last weekend, I am guessing it wont be much longer and we will be celebrating your 1500 too!
Congratulations as well!
I dont have a HC, but I know on the 76 I could store custom POI on the card and have read where people will turn cache information into those to get more on their GPS. Maybe someone else knows how this is done.

When your wife asks you to go out for a loaf of bread you grab your car keys, wallet, and gpsr, even though the store is just down the block.
Been there done that, drove past 3 Pick N Saves to get the Super Graduation Cache and a french bread for supper.
Chalk up another one for the Easter Bunny, excpet we made them solve puzzles first to get the coords. I think we did the same thing for Christmas too.
