Now if only there was a way to make a spreadsheet too. I can make a text doc but haven’t figured out the spreadsheet.
You can make it into a spreadsheet if you export into a .csv file.

If for some reason you can only add one DB, you can create a single, overall ‘Master Trip’ DB which contains all of your caches.
To combine existing DBs, create a Master, and then open and copy (combine) each DB into the Master,
Click on
DATABASE
MOVE/COPY WAYPOINTS
SELECT your Master DB as the DESTINATION DATABASE
SELECT COPY waypoints
SELECT GO.Do this with all of the DBs you wish to combine.
One advantage of an overall DB is that you can plot and see your entire trip within one map……or do any other sort of data manipulation you’d like.
I did this if I had to go to more than one area involving different PQ’s. My GPS can only hold 500 waypoints, but I put 400 on it as I need room for manual waypoints such as stages of a multi.
Someday I hope to get a GPS that holds more or at least has an SD card slot so I can swap out databases.
Run & Search has a 7 state cache challenge. I think the final is in the Fox Valley. I don’t have the GC Code for it though.
You guys have to be insane to do 7 states in one day. LOL.
Good luck and drive safe.
350 caches, Mr. GT? Heck, I have just seven active caches and a couple needs attention after the snow is gone. Both of those are a short distance away from me. I might just go get them and archive them.
The rest are within a mile. I really don’t have time to check on them either and am debating archiving them as well.
I just cannot imagine a CO having to maintain 350 hides. Mind boggling.
You won’t be disappointed, T & B. That was an awesome cache. There are a few others at the reforestation camp that you can get between stages of the Tri-Cacheleon.
While I’ve been on long hikes for several caches on one trail (Ed’s Lake and Yellow Brick Road series), I don’t recall my longest hike for one single cache. I’ll have to look at my records and get back to you.
I liked the long 4 hour hike for two caches rather than the 30 P & G’s in 3 hours.
I’m speaking of this – GC1TDN7
My favorite among all the caches I’ve found.

This.
Saying goes, everyone plays the game differently. I play mine. I avoid cemeteries
And you do yours. You like cemeteries.
That simple. To each his own.
What? HP2 didn’t win this month ? 😛
Congrats, Lacknothing.
Well, one problem with many caches in cemeteries is that they can be hard to find sometimes. I know of a certain cacher in the Fox Valley with 5 digits at the end of his name that loves to hide a bison in a pine tree – with a few other pine trees next to it and markers all around the pine tree.
Geocaches in cemeteries should always be easy to find. Sweetlife’s WSQ series is a good example. Just about every one of their WSQ caches are quick grabs. Find it, sign it, and replace it in less than 2 minutes and no one is the wiser. But if I have to hunt for a cemetery cache, it does attract attention.
There is also a cemetery in Manitowoc that has several caches in it not even labeled as a WSQ, but instead as part of a certain “sweet” series.
I repeat – cemeteries are NOT playgrounds for geocaching.
But if there is something on the grounds that a CO would like to draw a cacher’s attention to,for example an unique 18th century marker, list the cemetery cache as a puzzle and hide the final off the grounds.
I just don’t feel comfortable caching in cemeteries otherwise. Be thankful Wisconsin still allows this. Some states have passed laws banning caches in cemeteries.
It is one of the reasons why I don’t even hunt caches in cemeteries anymore. I also archived my own cemetery caches a few years ago for this reason.
I just feel that geocaching has no place in cemeteries but I know I’m probably the only one that feels this way.
HOWEVER…..if a puzzle begins in a cemetery where I have to gather information and ends in a location AWAY from the cemetery – such as a nearby park – I MIGHT be inclined to do so. And even then, it is not usually indicated on the page the final is off site – so I skip those caches as well.
I use Firefox all the way. I have not used IE since it was like version 6.
Glad to see your SNAFU was fixed, Man With Colored Thumb 😛
Try this guy. In fact, he has a puzzle that requires you to solve some engineering questions.

I’ve met him. Nice guy.
