      I wonder if K.M. reads these threads?

        You have just been “Markwelled” or, would that be a double Markwell since it takes one to Kelly Markwell’s home page?

          External antenna… nudge Steve B. He reports positivily of the use. The only difference I have noticed is the GPS seems to get a satalite lock faster with the external antenna. It doesn’t seem to be worth the $90 investment.

            I am disappointed to see this. Fongerek’s Glen has been and will remain on our list of favorite caches. The area and the falls are beautiful enough for us to recommend that the cache be on everybody’s must do list. I guess we will need to add a caution to our recommendation.

            We certainly wish these two young adventurers a speedy recovery.

              It’s a great idea. It adds some diversity to the stock of available caches. Lose the boat and rate terraine 5. That is what the rating is for ~ special gear is required. Include the requirement in your cache description and I believe you have done all that you can to resolve the liability issue.

              I think you will find only a select few finding this cache. Make sure it is waterproof since it may be a long time between visits.

              I’m betting wzbt03 does the FTF dance.

                Steve, You shouldn’t be so hard on Steve. He was just trying to be helpful. You might make him feel badly.

                  A good positive featurette. We need all we can get. I just hope somebody is keeping a library of them.

                  Good job Brew!

                      We are a Garmin family. Our first 400 caches were with a Garmin 12. It is great under cover but eats batteries. Our next 200 were found using a Map 76. Beautiful Display and better with battery consumption. We have been using a pair of Garmin 60C’s since January and can’t find enough positive things to say about the unit. It has some minor flaws but power consumption is not on that list. We use Alkalines and have changed batteries 3-4 times on each.

                            We are working on placing a handle on top of a used yellow bus. I hope it makes it through the bagage check.

                              I forgot Romper Room [1954].

                              Is this how we date our generations now?

                                  This looks like a late response to my post about twinkies. Definately Off Topic unless Tim & Carole are bringing Tootsie Pops for another iteration of the experiment.

                                  My response to this is that who cares if it takes 200 or 400 licks to get to the center… I can do it with one bite.
