I thought it could be an answer to replace my polar, but with only an eight hour battery life its a real limitation. You could not really wear it as a watch all the time, and then go for a 4-5 hour ride. Lets hope they come up with a better battery life soon. Also does it have an arrow to follow, if...

Steve had a bit of an adventure when we got home. He was safely tucked in the back of the Rav, but when we opened the door, he jumped out keen to see his new residence, then went for a run down our very steep driveway! Mark jumped quickly to catch him before he came to any harm, but I'm sure the nei...

They are mostly black, with some bright yellow panels on both of the arms. If anyone happened to pick them up - we would be ever grateful for their ...

We normally only post 1 DNF for each cache however. Unless something interesting has happened at a visit. I remember we took 6 visits to one cache before we found it. We only posted 1 DNF, and I am sure 6 logs while it would be amusing to some people would not be that interesting reading. We also do...

I am very guilty of the small log, In fact if you could read my handwritting (which makes a doctor's look good) You would find a lot of "Date Luck Dogs Crew TFTC" However online, we like to write good logs when we have something to say. If we enjoyed the cache, or had an interesting story then we wr...

Missing Country

I was checking my Stats on my account and I noticed that there is a country missing, (South Korea). Is there anything I should do to fix this or is it just a small bug?

Updating logs on GCA

I have a number of logs that have not come across, which is normal and they normally catch up eventually. They seem to be taking a while this time.

Will it cause any problems if I upload them to GCA lilke I have done for the International Logs?

Has anybody written a script in Outlook to make an email message from the Notification emails and then send it to an SMS Gateway, Such as BigPonds? I know if you get Premium Mail from Big Pond you can do this pretty easily, but has anybody worked out a way to do it without paying the $15 for the pre...

Our first cache and Walking Wombats (Who introduced us to the game) we started together and we did our 500th find with them last weekend as well. This required a bit of a trip and timing seeing we live in Melbourne and they live in Adelaide. Luck Dog has not gotten much better even after 500 ;-) Dec...
