I see that you are a premium member of gc.com

What you should do is create pocket queries in Geocaching.com

import these files into GSAK (http://gsak.net The site is down right now but I assume it will be back soon.)

With GSAK you can dump the caches into a GPS. Also if you have a palm pilot or a Pocket PC there are several programs out there that you can also dump caches into the handheld so you can go paperless.
