AYTO#2/MME05 is no longer a "members-only" cache. Ok Team Joysen.. You can go find it now -fractal

DenaliNW: Thanks for the mention of The Contact Cache. You should go find it again at it's new location As for my favorites, there are currently 2 that stand out more than the others: The Pipeline* is the most unique hike I've ever done. To anyone that comes to the Portland area, you really need to do this one. Far to the northwest of The Pipeline*, in the town of Raymond, WA is Slinger91's Half Moon Cache. I would consider this to be the best cache ever. I really wish I could tell you why.. But that's the secret of Half Moon... You just have to see it for yourself -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45* 30.ish W 122* 58.ish

Slightly different than last time, but still a long drive Low-Medium-High -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45* 30.ish W 122* 58.ish

We ended up at Cassidy's last time.. I think it's a safe bet we will end up there again after some night-time urban caching... -fractal

Thanks PDXMM I just got back from re-figuring Low-Medium-High.. So expect that one to be back and new & improved by morning! -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45* 30.ish W 122* 58.ish

Good times on these awesome summer nights... You know I'll be there... -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45* 30.ish W 122* 58.ish

Sorry I missed your email! I do see that I have it though.. I'll reply to you shortly. -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45* 30.ish W 122* 58.ish

For those that do come to Portland, we now have a website for out of town visitors: www.pdxgeocaching.com Check it out before you come to town... -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45* 30.ish W 122* 58.ish

Submitted the cache page for the next Magnetic Microcache Experiment. Here's the info if anyone wants to find it early N 47° 41.786 W 122° 10.459 Same container as MME#03. Enjoy! -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45* 30.ish W 122* 58.ish

I'd love to stop by Boeing Surplus, but I would just be teasing myself... Can't afford to go nuts like I know I would wanna do... Not exactly sure when I'll be heading up... Probably get in that area around 2:30pm-ish. I'll have my frs radio on gmrs channel 20, code 0, and I'll also have net access, so I'll check the forums... -fractal

Up in the Redmond & Kirkland areas -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45* 30.ish W 122* 58.ish

Actually.. I might be up in that area tomorrow... When & where shall we meet up for margaritas!? -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45* 30.ish W 122* 58.ish

GeoNap called me before I got outta Hillsboro.. Saved me a trip. This REALLY disappoints me. Several of us made comments to Magellan like 'don't forget the birthplace of Geocaching'... They heard our comments, and they responded. Unfortuantely the cache was plundered. I hope that Magellan realizes that this is not typical of Portland geocachers, or any geocacher really. We are not plunderers! There will always be a few that will try to ruin the game for the rest of us, but they are not the majority, and they will not succeed. Because of this whole situation, I feel a bit sad to have claimed a ticked for a hat while so many other deserving people should have been able to claim one as well. Yeah I know, it's just a hat, but it's sort of symbolic. I will be returning my ticket to Magellan, not to redeem it for a hat, but to ask that they please don't see this plundering as a reflection of Portland area geocachers, and please re-hide another treasure in our area. -fractal

Yeah.. That's odd that no one can find it now... GeoNap and I were there last night watching people show up and search. We left a little after 10pm. We helped one guy find it (JohnnyZnor), and right after that there was a BIG family looking for it. As we were walking away, they were FIANLLY looking in the right direction. Also passed by nmartin(?) on the way out, and talked to Gofindit in the parking area. If someone took that thing, it had to be between when GeoNap and I left, and Gofindit showed up, because Nap and I were hanging out in the area watching people try to find this thing. And the one person we did see find it, didn't take it. And if that was nmartin that passed by us, I know he's not the type of person to plunder a cache... I might head back out there today and see what's up... -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45* 30.ish W 122* 58.ish

I just thought it was a made up drink, so my friends could laugh at me shaking this freezing 5qt container for 5 minutes. Someone told me the secret the first time I made it.. Wrap the container with a towel.. It ends up freezing itself to the container... And yeah.. it's yummy stuff Dang.. I'm ready for the beach NOW! -fractal

Yeah.. Short notice.. But that's me... Anyone wanna meet up at Top Score at 7pm, then Maya's at 8? It's nice out, and sitting outside enjoying a margarita, and doing some people watching sounds good -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45* 30.ish W 122* 58.ish

Beach good! Saturday good! I can bring my favorite summertime beach drink: Yukka Juice! Put the following in a sun tea jar: Juice of 6 lemons Juice of 6 limes 1 bottle of good tequila 1 cup of sugar Fill with ice Shake for about 5-10 minutes and enjoy! -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45* 30.ish W 122* 58.ish

Got some more pics in my inbox this morning... Puma and a K-Max Again... awesome pics Flir~Girl! Keep `em coming... -fractal

I think I posted on another topic that the date for Game2 will be 8/23. QM, you and Sassquatch can just wake up early that day... I was thinking of starting it around noon-ish.. maybe lasting about 2 hours. It's quite a bit different than the first Game, but still should be fun and unique... I hope! -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45* 30.ish W 122* 58.ish

Flir~Girl just sent me some pics of the fire she is working on and wanted me to share them with the rest of us... Awesome stuff... -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45* 30.ish W 122* 58.ish
