This was the 7th year in a row that Freddo has taken advantage of the Melbourne Cup for caching purposes. That’s r...

Re: GSAK database location?

Under GSAK there should be a backup folder. Make a copy of the files in their and try each to see whether you have a viable backup. The backups are done each time you save GSAK. Remember copy and play with the copies.

It once contained four bombs or some sort. It is big but maybe not this big. http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/7b09ecdd-e5...
