Re: Three states in a day

You could complete this cache in one day. It would need a lot of frequent flier points. http://coord.info/GCXNY1 5 states and one territory.

Re: Oregon 300 POI File still in memory??

I saw this on my 78 as well. It seems that POI load to a part of the unit memory that cannot be accessed from the USB connection. The special Garmin place. The only way I found to get rid of them was to keep loading POIs until you filled that part of the memory. Let me know if you find a better way ...

Re: How many found in between home and your nearest unfound.

At the end of 2011 I had cleared everything out to 20km. 2280 found caches in the zone. 195 placed caches in the zone.

A holiday in Mexico and Van Diemen's Land for a fortnight and it is now down to 2.05km. :(

Re: Where should the pen / pencil be placed??

Get rid of the bag. It is not really necessary. If a cache gets wet it might protect the logbook if it is intact. If the logbook gets wet in the bag then it will never dry out. Never ever. Remove the bag.

Re: Oxygen Absorbers, 500cc, Pack of 50

They keep bread fresh. Look for them in packets of wraps. O2 is the enemy of fresh bread. Useless for caching as H2O is our enemy. Silica gel keeps moisture a bay for a while, but eventually you have to refresh the silica gel by heating it to 60C for 2 hours. I do that in the lab for some experiment...
