Rented a car only once many moons ago, but the insurance thing and fill the tank are right on. We once looked into renting for the long haul trips like you want to do, but we figured the rental would cost way more than using our own car. Those are good to do if a bunch of you need a vehicle like a van or something that you don’t have in your own vehicles.
If you rent for the long distance, check out the price for the large number of miles you will be doing and get the best deal there. I think at one time Alamo gave you like a couple hundred free miles per day of rental, but you’ll be packing on more than that.
People who steal threads! 😡
Didja check your email, Cheezy?

Way to go on #2500, DOC!
Congratualtions on the 300 finds, the COTM, and most importantly — 😉 — your first post in the WGA forums!
I have noticed on some of the caches pages that Marc had to — ahem — modify after the ALR edict came down that it’s harder on some to know exactly what we’re supposed to look for. There seemed to be detailed descriptions before, but now it might be just the cache title and the photo.
Still like the series but need a trip to pick up most of the finds.
I think that one takes the prize!
Maybe the problem will be slowing down enough to stop short before the intended date!
It’s June now. Still a few more finds needed by both teams to get near the 10,000 mark. Will they get there in time? The pressure is on!
Or anyone pronouncing it “Wes-con-sin”
Ouch! I’ve lost two cameras to the water, but thankfully they were both on fishing expeditions and not while out caching.

Time to get back out into the woods.
Can’t help you with the card and your receiver, but here are a couple of suggestions on placing the caches.
1. When you plug in your zip code and get a list of caches in that area, look at the top of the page and find “search for caches with Google maps”. Click on that and you will see on a map where there are already caches. Zoom in to areas you are thinking of placing a cache. If nothing is shown there, you are usually OK with the placement as far as the distance goes.
2. When you are working on a cache write-up, uncheck the box on the page that says “Yes, this is cache is currently active” before the initial submission. After it is submitted and you get a cache GC number, you can then look at the cache page, go down near the bottom, and search for nearby caches. That will relocate your search to the coordinates of the cache you are working on. If the nearby caches are all over 0.1 miles away, your cache should be OK for distance.
On #2, you can go back and edit the cache page all you want. When you are ready to submit for review, recheck the “currently active” box and the reviewers will see the cache and decide if it meets the criteria for placement. Your distance should be OK, and hopefully everything else gets the “good to go”.
Good luck, and keep coming back to the forums for help!
