Dan,
Sorry for using yours as an example, didn't want to make you upset. It just
happened to be the first I thought of, since I had been out caching and had a
few to log in. Since I am new I didn't know how all of this worked.
However I was just questioning any caches that had more than one waypoint, not
just yours.
Thanks to all for setting me straight on how all this works. I didn't want to
stir things up or get people upset. Just trying to figure out how things
worked.
I did look on the site first before posting and couldn't find an answer.
I do plan on finishing the "Gentle Exercise" in a week or so depending on the
weather. We got soaked on Sunday :-)
Thanks
Jen
