Well folks, it's time for HikerRon to lace up his boots and hit the trail again.
Heading to Tennessee this time. Due to health issues and financial issues,
I'm moving to Memphis area and will stay...

I wasnt allergic to PI until my 20's. Then while volunteering to help an allergic friend of mine put a treestand up a tree, well... OMG. Been allergic
ever since. (he's still laughing probably)...

Sort of unrelated to this topic, but i saw cacher's name once that i thought
was cool.
He called himself ' WASS Up?' :)

Amazing! I raise my hiking stick in salute!

Way back in Oct 2003 i placed my first cache ever, outside Monument, CO.
It was named Herman's Lap (GCH01E) because it sits out on a ridgetop at
the base of Mt Herman. It was an ammo can, because...

I've found two containers for the same cache, a couple of times. I never know which log to sign:)

another time, i found and signed the log of a multi i was seeking. A few days
later the cache...

aha! i DID remember how to post a pic in the forum!

Also, I once was searching for a cache in Burns Park and found it guarded by a skunk. Literally standing over the tupperware! I waited for about 15 minutes til it finally moved off, then walked...

I've had two of my Colorado caches muggled by bears, and had to archive
a cache in Castle Rock, CO. because someone found it surrounded by baby rattlesnakes. Twice.

A week after CFD29 found his first cache, i was reading a Backpacker Magazine in Colorado. I saw a little blurb in there about Geocaching, went to the website and punched in my zipcode. Turned out...

1- I dont think it's right to log finds on caches that you have hidden. the whole idea strikes me as ridiculous. The whole sport of geocaching is based on honesty... what's to prevent someone from...

Well that certainly didn't last very long:) Found that i just cant walk past
a 1/1 cache anymore. it's physically impossible.
oh well, there's always next year:)

On compass page, i use fields for Distance, Bearing, and Accuracy.

Well that doesnt sound too difficult. Send the the icon file, i'll attempt that too.
Thanks!

Wayne, perhaps you could tell me how to get the caches over into the unit..?
Explain it to me like you would explain it to a 5 yr old:)

Thanks for directing me to that site. i now have it bookmarked.

My 2nd ex-wife is sending me a new TomTom for Christmas. (dont ask)
I should receive it tomorrow.
Anyone have any experiences , good or bad?
With the TomTom, not my ex-wife:)

rules! darn. I thought i had found a perfect cache location....right under that highway bridge next to the railroad tracks. I was gonna put a magnetic PVC pipe container on the pipeline that runs...

Ok, i'll start this off with mine.
''When caching ALONE, i will not seek any caches with diff/terr less than
2.5/2.5''

This way, when caching with friends i wont be a Pain in the***.

Not...

I'm just making this up of course. But what if we all leave a few words in our online logs next month about the condition of the caches we find. Most of us already receive notes about broken or...

I'm with arkfiremedic. i think the best accuracy ive ever had on my iphone
was 56 ft. Fine if you are looking for skirtlifters, but useless on those micros in the woods. and it doesnt update...

Sounds like a great idea to me. I dont have my Nov. work schedule yet but
will make it if i can.

By my way of thinking, the last thing a bear would want to encounter is a
US Marine with PTSD! 8O
Thank you for your service to our country.

Good story. I had a close encounter with a bear in colorado once, and a person surely doesnt forget that! Thinking back on it later, I was never in any immediate danger but it sure didnt stop my...
