... was difficult and frustrating. But... what can you do. Brett's got a good point, just do the basic work, and make sure that the spots are clear before doing all the work to find out it's "occupied".

... little as possible. I'm not a prolific cache hider, but I've been doing it for long enough that I know to check my locations with New York Admin before doing any further work on them, only going forward once I've been given the all-clear. But how would a new cacher know to do that? I've seen ...

... They can be very annoying, when you don't really need them. I think so. Probably the easiest way is to upload the waypoints to a software tool before sending them along to your GPS. GSAK is by far the dominant choice, but Garmin has a default product that came with my map CDs that works well ...

... soon but for the time being "What You See is NOT What You Get" when submitting a listing in HTML. This page will let you test the HTML before submitting/editing a listing. http://boulter.com/gps/distance/ (Coordinate Distance Calculator) Enter in two coordinates and it tells you how ...

... hides? These hides/caches would only be put out for the event and removed afterwards. The geographical area would only be announced a day before the event to prevent participants from reconnoitering the topograhy of the area. One could use a topo map and/or a GPSr with built in topo maps ...

When this first got posted and I was planning to participate (before the real world got in the way) I did a little googling of the people who had sent the initial emails and two of them listed themselves on LinkedIn and Facebook as being "Interns" ...

... say who or where he or she is.......neither are nearby and one is on the West Coast. Thanks for this "small world" moment I better stop before I go too "off topic". :mrgreen:

... well. Gerk's Lantern caches on Ward's Island might not be a bad choice. Pill Popper in Morningside would be fun, for someone who hasn't found it before. As much as I love the cache, I don't think I'd be eager to show them Crossroads of the World... the recent terrorism plots in Times Square make ...

... might be a good one, unless you want to reserve that for a bigger milestone (we are thinking about it for our 500th, we have 22 more to find before we find that one, not sure when that will be as the unusually high heat most of July has had the family wanting to swim a lot more than they ...
