Og's outfit

See ! I told you those lightening rods would protect you! Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.

I had to send my Sport Trak Pro off to Tulsa last week. I sent it on the 6th and paid the extra .45 cents to track it. It arrived in Tulsa on Friday the 9th. I called Thales support on Tue. and the had shipped it out on Monday. They gave me the UPS tracking number, so I've been checking it often. It was last seen in Commerce City, CO., I should get it back on Friday. I'm looking forward to finding goodies with it! BTW I had dropped it and broke the face. I sent them a check with it for about $72.00. Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.

"See, I didn't swallow that dumb Travel Bug!!" Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.

Okay, sorry. Maybe I should have just put "gripe" instead of "flame'! I'll give it a shot. Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.

I found a cache in a park near my town a couple of weeks ago and the container was about a quarter full of water. The log was in a zip-lock but was moist and full. I drained it the best I could and tried to cover it up better. When I logged it in when I got home I noticed that the last few people that found it mentioned that it needed maintenance. One log was as far back as last November! So I took a look at the profile of the Dude/Dudette that hid it and discovered that this user has more hidden than found! AND most of the "Finds" are ones they hid! Maybe they are still searching for some of the ones they hid? They even have a "Virtual" in Neveda, but the rest are all in WA State. There is one up in the San Juans, one down by The Dalles, and some in the Sound area. Now I thought there was a rule about placing a cache while on vacation? This really ticks me off! I think this person should not be allowed to buy Tupperware ever again! Ban him/her from the surplus stores!! Sheesh...give someone a GPSr and a pack of Altiods and they lose their mind!! Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.

I use an Olympus Camedia C-3030, and to be honest, I'm not very happy with the quality of pictures I get with it. I paid about $750 for it a couple of years ago. I wish I would have shopped around a bit more. Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.

Cost is relative....... Reletively speaking......DO NOT DROP YOUR GPSr!!! I had to send mine off a couple of days ago and it was like sending off my right arm! The house seems a bit empty with it gone...(sigh) where is it now?....how is it doing? Are they feeding it well? Spectre Vic told me to buy a protective case but did I listen? $71.46 lesson learned! Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.

Even with SergZak's amazing Photoshop abilities, I think the Geo-nerd who carries this unit should also be wearing those 60's black-rimmed birth control glassed with a band-aid holding them together. IT"S MA-FUGLY!! Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.

Why do you think that one is lame, Oregone? Do you not like wine? Is it in a really bad spot? I've never been there, but I'd go for it if I were in the area. That's IT!!! We're going to Fist City, and I'm driving!

Sport trak Pro, here. That's IT!!! We're going to Fist City, and I'm driving!

I always take my camera too. You just never know when someone will slip or trip over a log! Those pics are the best! I say, "Are you all right? Good. Now don't move until I get a picture!!" AHHH.....the memories! That's IT!!! We're going to Fist City, and I'm driving!

UPDATE I called Thales this morning and I have to send it to Tulsa. It's going to cost $71.46!!! That turned out to be an expensive cache. That's IT!!! We're going to Fist City, and I'm driving!

I dropped my Magellan Sport Trak Pro today while fumbling for it in my pack. It did a face plant on the rocky trail. Now it sports a fine star shaped blemish that covers 1/3 of the viewing surface. It works fine, but I doubt it's water-proof now. Will I have to send it out for repair, or can I just order a new face plate and install it myself? I e-mailed Magellan but have not heard from them yet. I know you guys are much faster than them! That's IT!!! We're going to Fist City, and I'm driving!

But I found a cache last week-end that was a thick, clear glass jar. It had one of those rubber seal lid that had a metal hasp on it. The contents were clean and dry and easy to see. It was about the size of an industrial size mayo jar. It was easier to open than a rusty ammo can. I rank it as my fav cache can! OG That's IT!!! We're going to Fist City, and I'm driving!

I recommend THIS A MUST for seattle tourists. Have fun! Og That's IT!!! We're going to Fist City, and I'm driving!

One for the road That's IT!!! We're going to Fist City, and I'm driving!

1....2....3 That's IT!!! We're going to Fist City, and I'm driving!

1 2 3...... That's IT!!! We're going to Fist City, and I'm driving!

I say label it an "ADULT" site, so no one brings unsuspecting kiddies along for the hunt. Then fill the cache with things that are appropriate for the area.......like condoms,AIDs brochures and maybe a purple Tele-Tubbie or two Well there's my two cents worth! OG That's IT!!! We're going to Fist City, and I'm driving!

Now I know I'm on the right track! Sorry Mr. Warrior, I don't think I'd like to move to Texas. Just think..What would the rain gear manufacturers do if everyone lived in a dry climate? It's plenty pretty enough here, thanx And to Mr Kewaneh, I'm jealous! You have the skills! I have a neighbor that is a surveyor and his wife wispers in our next-door neighbors ear about our property line! Oh well, all is fair in war and picket fences. Thank you all for the responses. OG That's IT!!! We're going to Fist City, and I'm driving!

Here I am again..........BORED! That's IT!!! We're going to Fist City, and I'm driving!

This is a good discussion. I remember my very first find like it was last week (it was! ) In that cache there was a moldy little purse that none of us wanted to touch. Being new, I just left it. Now I think I'll go back with rubber gloves and get that puppy! Maybe I'll send it to one of those Geo-Scientists who studies geo-fungus and how it is spread. Unless someone out there wants it? Swimmers would look pretty funny without that water.

one more time? Swimmers would look pretty funny without that water.

Testing 1 2 3 Swimmers would look pretty funny without that water.

I'm a rookie with 5 measley finds under my belt, but I find myself allways thinking and planning my next outing! I've been reading the various threads out there, trying to find the best method to tracking those elusive caches, and I've learned a lot! WHAT A GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE! Here's my silly querry: It's been pretty nasty here lately, weather-wise so I've been preparing. I thought it would be a neat idea to make a "Cache log". I bought a cheap binder and a 3-hole punch in order to save the print-outs from each hunt. I'm going to save the actual pages....you know....the rain-soaked ones with scribbled 13 yr. olds' de-codes on them. I thought that it would make a nice family memory. Am I going too far? Swimmers would look pretty funny without that water.
