Congratulations Tim

Yesterday we hid a new cache. This morning, when checking the website we not only found out that our cache was approved, but we also had a nice email from Keystone Approver. The important thing is that we now have a local, who knows local problems approving our caches. Thank you Keystone Approver for volunteering your time and knowledge.

NINE HUNDRED. How do you count that high? Maybe we should congratulate you on your 1000th cache. We anticipate that it will be found before the end of the week.

Just returned from a Maine vacation. The Catskills on the weekend of June 28, sounds interesting. Not 100% sure if we can make it but will try. We done very little up there so we cannot give much of an opinion on any location.

Congratulations Trusty. May you find many more happy caches.

Congratulations HartClimbs. May you find many more happy caches.

Congratulations to Floopy. We can remember writing congratulations for #200, and your name was already well known in this area. Please say hello to Mom and Pop Floopy for us.

We would be interested in a trip in Harriman, the Catskills, or in Virginia with Outsid4evr. June 7 & 8 may be a problem, but the other weekends are okay with us. We would prefer the Catskills to Harriman, mainly because an area we do not know is more interesting than an area we know. We do not know the Virginia Mountains, so that is interesting.

Jonboy, I believe that the topo map disk in my cache was left by Outsid4evr. I picked up one copy of his in some other cache, possibly Covert 002.

Congratulations. It was nice to have met both you and your human escort.

Jonboy, this deserves a nomination to the Artful Dodgers "Gung-Ho Geocacher of the month. Those are five difficult caches. I do not believe you will find anything that equals them in New Jersey. For second best in Jersey we will nominate a set of three cache near Sunfish Pond in the Delaware Water Gap Area. (Near Mt. Tammany.) These three are Helispot, Dreamcatcher, No Hints Bridges the Gap. (Guess we are advertising since two of them we hid.) Up until the last three months or so it seamed that the majority of the finders of these three Jersey caches were from Pennsylvania. Not sure why that is. We are sorry, cannot say anything about Ay Caramba!! Knowing the Artful Dodger, it is probably a good one. We have also been impressed by The Magster caches (Woof!).

For the month of May, I nominate Jonboy as Gung Ho geocacher with his successful finding of NY/NJ Multicache, Covert 002, CG5, Terrace Pond, and Bearfort Mountain in one day.

It is a sad day for geocaching in the northeast. Opening our email we learned that two of the finest caches in our area have ceased to exist. Pyramid Mtn. Roaming Cache by BrianSnat and pm|_ by c_n|njA are no longer with us. We understand the reasoning behind the loss, and accept it. Thank you Ninja, thank you Brian for bringing these happy events to our lives.

200 Congratulations to MOPAR

Sorry Mopar if we are a little late with this. We were at the EMA in Montgomeryville, PA today. Overheard that they will accept almost any club membership, including YMCA and AAA. There will be another club day in six months or so.

Harrold, Saw your note about possibly cancelling the work on Saturday. We will be unable to make it on Sunday. (We volunteered to join a group doing trail maintenance work on the Appalachian Trail, down here in Pennsylvania.) If there is a question if the event will be held or not is there a way that we can contact you early Saturday? Thanks.

Congratulations. Hope we meet some time while out caching.

Congratulations Harrold. Way to go. Looking forward to seeing you this Saturday.

We have been in email contact with owner of eyeglasses. He/She is a hard hiking geocacher. Hope to get it to the rightful owner soon. Too bad, his/her prescription is almost the same as mine.

While doing a maintenance check on our No Hints Cache we found a pair of prescription bifocal eyeglasses about 5 or 6 feet from the cache. If anyone knows a rightful owner please have them contact us. There is a photograph included with our log. (If anyone can Markwell us it would be greatly appreciated.)

Brian, Congratulations on your new position of Trail Supervisor. (If sympathy is more appropriate we will send that also.)

quote:Originally posted by Dave54:Mag declination varies over distance, over time, and over elevation -- much more than you think. Iron ore content in the soils of Pennsylvania and some neighboring states does many weird things with magnetic declination.

Since the original author, rag-a-muffin, is from Richmond, VA. There is something far more common than railroad tracks that create problems for magnetic compasses here in Pennsylvania and some neighboring states. It is iron ore in the soil. Some places the definition of magnetic north is the direction to the nearest mine (usually an abandoned mine). I do not know what the conditions are in or near Richmond, but please be aware of this.

Congratulations and welcome to the Century Club.
