Metro NY Geocaching Society

I'll be there. Can't wait to meet everyone.

I have had 60CSx for about a year and absolutely love it. It allows for one click downloads from gc.com and keeps track of finds, trails, ets. Installing TOPO US 2008 added farely accurate city street maps and some hiking trails.

NYC Visitors Bureau had recently started a marketing compaign with the new NYC logo. Perhaps we can contact them to design a NYC geocoin.

May 17th sounds great. 16th is actually my birthday and a super caching day would be a great present

Who wants to be in charge of the lunch time event in the park?

Garmin had recently created a brand new GPSr. Colorado includes several models currently in $500-$600 range. Colorado allows for paperless caching by including both mapping and GPX file readability in one device (on a beautiful 240x400 color display). It includes all the typical GPSr capabilities (c...

If SI picnic will be on the 3rd, then 23rd for this sounds fine. Although that date falls on the Memorial Day weekend, and people may be out of town.

There was an episode of Numbers about a similar game. Online players had to go out in the real world and solve puzzles, collect information, and complete tasks to progress in the game. Sounds like an interesting concept, but too much effort for me.

I was in DC this past week, and while I was walking around playing with my GPSr, a guy approached and asked if I had Colorado and if I would recommend it for caching. Had to disappoint him with my humble 60CSx.

I agree with NYAdmin on this. No need to start suspicious activity that might lead to the shut down of the whole game. Although it might be helpful to find out what the city rules are about cache hiding. I know NY State parks require permission, what about the NYC Parks Department or the DOT?

I love puzzle caches. Usually I find the solution and than Peeves ends up fiding the container. Although the central park ones are giving me some trouble. Will be working on your new one soon.

There was something about turning on the Declutter. Although that might eliminate all the waypoints, including the cache treasure boxes.

I was hoping to get back into hiking when the weather got better, so perhaps this will get me going. Although that includes getting off the island and the ever increasing toll fares.

How about Coney Island?

I just realized that I have an all day class on May 10th.

I am declaring this week a Puzzle Week. After a close run for B 339 FTF, I checked the other local puzzles and this is the count so far (besides already found): have solutions, but never got around to the finding: It begins at the strangers' gate, Required reading, NY Subway, New world cache have so...
