Monthly BZ to all the 'stoners!WAY2GO!!!!
Congrats everyone!!!
Congrats to everyone.
I had to think a few moments about what you meant by "stoners". Back in my high school days, a stoner meant something else...not that I know from personal experience, mind you.

The Rosarito to Ensenada bike ride is September 27th (a Saturday). Register this weekend and get $5 off the registration fee of $35.
Come join me for a challenging but scenic and self-rewarding ride! Plus, there be caches! 4 along the bike route, and about 3 or 4 in Ensenada.
If anyone has a bike they'd like to donate to charity, let me know. I will ride it in the event and present it to the organizers in Ensenada. It should be a multi-speed so I won't have to walk the hills.
Cachers that have ridden in the past - and are still alive to talk about it
: map4navigation, Toby's Gang, "lostguy", and jahoadi and john.I use outback-adventures for my transportation needs. I meet them in Balboa Park, and they transport riders and their bikes to Rosarito, and pick us up in Ensenada. They provide a "continental" breakfast, and all you can drink cerveza at the finish. Can't beat that!
I have a bike you could ride and donate. It's hydrid I bought in Australia so you might have to ride on the wrong side of the road. You'd have to take a look and see what needs to be done to it to make it work..maybe just some air in the tires and WD40.Yep!! I'm going again this Sept! For the post event food and beer!!
If Lostguy goes, I'll go. I can catch him on the uphills....the downhills I'll never see him, but it might all even out. I think you can count me in too!
What is this anyway?
The short version - ride your bike for 50 miles and have a huge party at the end. (with some caches along the way)

I was reading another thread that was discussing people's favorite caching names and I ran across this post:We have a new cacher in western Sydney who goes by the name of Oil Beef Hooked, try saying that in an Irish accent!
Now that caching name is really funny!
That's funny. I had to practice my Irish accent a few times before I realized what I was saying!

Has anyone tried Cacheberry on their Blackberry? What do you think of it? Any problems? It's an app for your Blackbery similar to Cachemate or GPX Spinner.
My father in law was asking me about it but I had never heard of it until he mentioned it.
My 71 year old father in law finds out about a new geocaching program before I do...what's this world coming to?
Old guys rule!

Any fellow cacher have a portable metal detector? I'm going after "Waterfall's Source", which is in a very remote area, and is made of metal. It hasn't been found for almost a year, and it's been on my "close to home" list for too long. I'd like to bring it back to life.
Would someone like to either loan me their detector, or accomany me on the find? I think it is pretty cool to find a cache that hasn't been found for many months. Ingress to the GZ nvolves a climb up a series of rocks...I did it in Tevas, but good shoes are better. It's also quite muddy.
PM me?
I don't have a metal detector but I might be able to get one. When are you planning this little trek?
Here's the link to the cache page if anyone is interested. GCHV3Y

Good point, as of now the "Register Your Avatar Changes" URLs are redirecting to the Groundspeak Forums directly.http://www.geocaching.com/forums/register.aspx
and
(from: the left hand side navigation bar - Getting Started, Hide & Seek a Cache, etc...) I have it as:
That's about what I thought.
But those links are redirected directly to forums.Groundspeak.com or forums.Groundspeak.com/gc therefore bypassing the 'register' page. ...
And to retract my last observation,
my avatar has not updated in the Forum as this posting either...
I too lend my hope (and actually somehow knowing...) They are working on it.
You have to log out of the forums at the top of the page then you will see the register link. Although, I also haven't been able to update my avatar.

seems re-registering isn't working

I saw the same thing after the site came back online. Geocaching.Com has a new look. I went to my account and it looks cool. Has my Avatar and says Hello Team Fatman. 
Here is what they changed today.
The terrain maps are very cool!
So far I like the changes I've seen. I especially like the new maps.

Anyone noticed the Eucalyptus forest near UCSD is looking a little dry? Dead trees everywhere. This is the home to many wonderful geocaches, I hope it survives.
Yea... That was my bad. (true story) I had a bunch of mexican food the night before grabbing a cache there and had to make an emergancy pit stop in the forest...

Might want to 'shop that upper righthand corner... (or did you already?)
The T-shirts they used to sell must not have been any good.

REI is selling the new Garmin Oregons now...
Don't rush down there quite yet to plunk down your $600. They're not actually available until the 15th but you can probably pre-order.
I know the Colorado doesn't work really well with manually input waypoints, has anyone heard if the Oregon is the same?

I've found a huge space
Mostly the problem is finding a place within MTRP that is open for another hide.
try emailing your local cache reviewer.Is it okay to hide more caches at MTRP, I don't me do you guys not want me to hide them there I mean is it ok with the rangers and people in authority?Well, alrighty then...go for it...
Just be aware that the policy for MTRP is that caches must placed within 25' (or something like that) of a maintained trail. (Ask Barbados Sam how much it'll cost if you if the rangers catch you bushwhacking...
)(And you might want to check with Marko Ramius before you go on any long hikes to place your caches...some of those "empty" holes have puzzles and multi-cache waypoints in 'em.)
Nothing north or west of Borderline in Shepherd's Canyon. That is the defacto border with the Marine base...
O good gosh, another hike above the fifty-two? Will it ever end?
Don't forget that I have a never-ending supply of medication
bottles and am willing to use them. C'm'on back!
Bring it on. I'm ready for a good bike ride.

So what do you get when you cross an attorney with a Trailgator?

My brother was telling me how much he enjoyed the falls from the CITO event a few years ago and he wants to hike the trail again. Does anyone know if the falls are always flowing? Or do they dry up to a trickle?
Any other information is appreciated too.
The falls usually slow to a trickle in summer but there will always be water in the pool as it's pretty deep.
Not safe for diving though, many people have been injured doing that.
We've been in a drought though so I don't know what it looks like right now. I haven't been down there in a while.

This is a place where you can talk about when you want to go geocaching with each other.
Ditto with San Diego Cache Events
Yeah, that's a great thread, if you're in San Diego!
C'mon, Vegas is only a 5 hour drive. Everyone is welcome to join us.

...On the flip side, if the owners of those caches dont answer the posted question asking what is going on with the cache, it stands to reason that a request for archive eventually be issued. though it is way to short to make a long story short, the reason I am posting here today is to ask this forum what the reasonable time period for that might be?...
Unless I'm interested in an area near a disabled cache, or am eagar to make a find on a disabled cache, I don't care how long the cache remains disabled.
I continue to be impressed at the time and energy you are wasting in this cause when there are much more deserving causes out there. You have organization skills and, apparently, extra time on your hands that shouldn't be wasted on us. We're not worthy.
Here is a link to San Diego Volunteers. If you are already signed up, then spend more time with them and less on us.
Hey, their logo seems vaguely familiar:

A few George Carlin jokes in honor of the late George Carlin:
Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?
Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?
How do they get the deer to cross at that yellow road sign?
Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
What was the best thing before sliced bread?
OMG! I sure hope you did your research before posting that....
Did George Carlin REALLY tell those jokes???...

What, you're not going to give us the seven words you can never say on a Geocaching forum?
Sure here they are: dadgum, dadgum, dadgum, dadgum, dadgum, dadgum and dadgum! I wonder if that's what Harmon sounds like when he's really mad.

I'm all signed up for the bike ride and the bus (6:00 PM return. Is that what you guys got?). I ordered a new passport just because I want to hear the guy say "Your papers please" in a German accent, but that probably won't happen. I even got a new bike...a Gary Fisher hybrid.
I'm really looking forward to those homemade fish tacos (I hope they still make those) and cervezas.
My new ride:
