It has been a long time since I have looked around the website. Thought I would jump back in by posting to this thread. Just before I started caching I had one coworker who always called me Spanky...
HikerRon has it right. This is something that always comes up in forum discussions and gets all convoluted. The only thing I will add is that I understand that NO National Park or Monument allows...
Check out the High Profile section of the May 20th issue of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. A very nice article about one of our own - sayitagain. Nice to see you getting the recognition, Jim. ...
Do we have a status update on this? It has been four full months since the last post. Has AGFC completed their items?

A bison tube is a small, metal, water-tight cylindrical container that can be used for micro-caches. These containers are usually small enough to fit on a keychain, and were originally designed to...
Is it possible that the COM1 port is disabled in the BIOS? Or, could it be disabled on the operating system? Check the COM1 port status in Device Manager? We are talking Windows XP, right? Home...
Are the other ones USB or serial? I know my kid's Legend is a serial cable. If all the GPSr's are serial are you simply swapping the cable out or plugging it into a second serial port on the PC? ...
I plan on getting Pathtags made for myself. Noting your trade-offs that they are relatively inexpensive yet can't be tracked - I think they will eventually take off and will become more of a trade...
You will catch some heat from people who see it as destructive to the tree. A single nail won't do any real damage as you have proven by your childhood treehouse. But, the basic tenets of...
Let's see if this link works for BackPackNJack. He originally purchased a large quantity of coins just so fellow Arkansas Geocachers could have a chance at getting one. Send him an email or PM. He...
Are you asking if there is a way to search for caches you have not found? If so, the answer is yes. It is called a Pocket Query. It is a premium member feature on the GC web site. $30.00/year for...
Back when I was a kid I tended to be called Spanky by others due to my supposed resemblence to Spanky McFarland of the "Our Gang" or "The Little Rascals" show on TV. You know, Buckwheat, Alfalfa,...
I seem to have started a few errant brush fires on other threads with my original posting here. Seems I made the biggest mistake by assuming that most everyone knew about MOGA because of earlier...
Great ideas flannelman and ASD. All comments by flannelman are what I would like to see us ramp up. We (that's a generic "We" as in the association - I have not made any contacts myself) have been...
Here, here! What you said.
One week. One question. One answer. One off topic post. Seventy-six views. I guess that pretty much answers the original question.
Hey, admin! Delete this thread.

Midwest Open Geocaching Adventure - a geocaching event much along the lines of the much larger GeoWoodstock held in Texas.

One of the items that was brought up by Brawny Bear at MOGA 2006 was the request that another group host MOGA 2007. So, I thought I would throw this out for discussion. My first thought is to have...
OK, here is my tale of woe. I released 2 TB's (Brother Sun and Sister Moon). Brother Sun made about three pit stops and was lost due to park maintenance muggles who probably removed the container...
Seems they have a registration form for willing participants to fill out to get a jeep for initial placement.
Posting edited because I didn't read everything on their site first!

Here is my update on this cache. I swung by Petit Jean (if one can call returning to Cabot from Batesville as "swinging by"!) on 07/03/06 to attempt recovery.
I assumed the wall referred to in...
I sent MoosieGirl an email with my order. I will be in TX on Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully, I will meet up with her either at Geowoodstock IV or some other location to pick up my cans. If...
Where? I'm a transplant and can't seem to find Ion, AR. Did you miss a couple of keystrokes? STW
I don't have any kind of readily available database but the first thought that comes to mind is Google Earth. Install it and download the KML file from geocaching.com. Then you can zoom in and fly...
My son and I made it to MOGA and met many new friends and fellow cachers. They put on a very well organized event. We gave it a good effort but fell short of placing in our 2 person team category. ...
