... August 11th, 2012 - Converge anytime from 1pm until 5pm (or more, some people can't get enough!) - this leaves plenty of time for Central Park caching before, during and/or after. This is now the "8th Annual Proto-Picnic!" There are several new Central Park caches to be added to your ...

... from all over the northeast, for what we expect (hope) to be 500+ Fun. Bring your coins to swap. Bring your GPS to sample some of the local caching action. Close to the Watchung Mountains with miles of trails to hike. A quick drive to Manhattan and famous Central Park. Never been to the ...

... August 23rd, 2014 - Converge anytime from 1pm until 5pm (or more, some people can't get enough!) - this leaves plenty of time for Central Park caching before, during and/or after. This is the "10th Annual Proto-Picnic!" There are always new Central Park caches to be added to your ...

... Fellow geocachers Blue Jay & Toffee Man are visiting your fair shores from Ireland for a few weeks holidays,seeing the sites and caching We would love to meet up with some local cachers and other tourists alike So we're having a little get together to hopefully do just that By ...

... NYC please come out and meet me. If you want to trade a few travelers, feel free to bring them with you. I hope to see you there and talk a little caching! See you all in NYC

... 4:30 PM to 5 PM Central Park Plenty of time to cache before and after the event :) Meet a nice couple from the Netherlands. They have a little caching experience as they have cached in 23 countries, working on caching in all US states and have have visited NYC twice but never more than 1 day. ...

... secret in the Bronx. I'm here to ruin that, and spread the word. Can't think of a better place to do that than here. If you find yourself caching in the Bronx, it's worth a few minutes of your time. My log has more information. The cache page is here: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=684a830e-0bf1-4c6a-af36-073fbe453ffd ...

... year (arrests, fines, etc.): http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,249110,00.html I'm not afraid to admit I'm nervous about the implications for NYC caching in general. My (unsolicited) advice: Let's try to rotate out of military-style containers and use transparent containers where possible. I like ...

... GPSr mode was a somewhat frustrating process. I still cache paperlessly, but I bring the two gadgets instead of one (GPSr and my phone with the caching software).

... to keep in mind that the admins have their own "admins" that they have to deal with, the kind that carry guns. And I think that as a caching community, as interesting and unthreatening and cache-worthy as we find bridges, we really have no true conception of how sensitive "admins ...

I do like parking waypoints. I haven't spent a lot of time caching outside of the five boroughs, but when I do I'm generally out of my element so a little help on the starting line for a big hike is appreciated. I don't see it quite as useful for urban ...

Saw this on Engadget. Interesting that the GPS capabilities were actually demo'd w.r.t. geocaching (or as they call it, "geo-caching"). I hear that even though it has GPS I can't use it as a nav unit, what's up with that? According to the SDK agreement, it ...

Third year in a row I'll be out of town for the event. Actually the fourth, but I wasn't really caching in 2005 so didn't know about it. (Sigh).

Took it out for a little geocaching spin today. One-sentence summary - inadequate in many ways, but software development will probably cure much of it. - The accuracy of the GPS seems fine. I suspect that some of the physical limitations ...

... my computer all the time and I'd really feel it if that was taken away. I think that most GPSr's have plenty enough power/accuracy to satisfy our caching needs, so I wouldn't get too intoxicated by the stats for the really high-end units. If you like the interface and the compatibility, I think ...
