not really a hint to finding but.....whenever i find a cache after a snow fall i make sure to tramp about the cache in big loopy circles for about 50 feet around the cache so the next person gets a chance to look themselves instead of following a trail right to it..... of course this tramping about often occurs before i actually find the cache but that is another story

I am against religious tracts in caches as they seem inherently prosthelatyzing (i know its speeled rong but im too lazy to look it up right now) but a church or a monastary has art and architecture and gardens that can be admired......just be sure to place cache in a place where it wont be disturbed by churchs gardeners and wont result in this local paper headline "Man and Woman arrested after being found in bush's behind local church: desecration of holy ground! public execution tommorrow bring the kiddies"

My old cache mobile and my new cache mobile a 2001 subaru legacy with AWD and gets 25+ MPG

Dealing with the Religious Material left in caches is easy, just bring your favorite tracts from a non-majority religion to trade. How often I have left my lesbian aleutian islanders for the rights of mollusks and jesus (pronounced like your in mexico) material. I mean SOMEBODY might be interested in MY beliefs right? Thus they have the right to be in the cache right? Oh by the way.....the LAMJ worships the devil and believes in auto-erotic asphyxiation as a means to getting closer to god....is my material still ok to leave in a cache? What if they simpley had a penchant for killing anyone who doesnt believe the same things that the LAMJ believes?

If you mix a couple of these posts together you'd get something similar to what happened to me at my own cache. I was performing maintinence on my cache at a local community college on a saturday when a police car jumped the curb from the parking lot and proceeded to drive over 50 yards worth of grass towards me. He stopped me and told me that nobody was allowed to wander campus on a saturday and that he thought I looked suspicious (walking on the sidewalk with my backpack walking towards the parking lot) and that he needed my ID. I asked him why nobody was allowed to be on campus when a class had just let out 30 minutes before (at noon)? He replied that If I was going to be a smart@#$ that he was going to arrest me and let somebody else deal with me 'at the station' Luckily I was directly in front of the building for the criminal justice program and that the chief of the campus police happened to be one of my profs AND had signed letters of recommendation for me for law school. I told him we could go see the chief right then and settle things since I knew he would be in his office inside the building. He let me go after that. Of course had I not known his boss I wouldve have yes sirred and no sirred just like everyone else should do. It's just that annoying egotistical narcissitic attitude that some cops get when they are on their power-trip, so so.....argh! It felt good to put him in his place (since it'll probably never happen again). That day I archived the cache and havent been back since.

a good hiking gun is the Bersa 380 auto. It looks like a Walther PPK (James Bond gun) About 20 ounces and slim, not a 1911 45acp but you can get a bersa for $220 so you wont feel so bad roughing it up.

Delta-S sums up my entire thought so go back and read that one again

we could do 2 or 4 pictures per month...that would help with low res and narrowing it down and we could do the themed TB pics in the squares on holidays.... oh...and i say nuts to the "representing" all countries or continents in the calender....how bout we just go with the 'best'' as determined by democratic-republic vote.....

I dont have time to read all these posts tonight but two things first i must admit that uperdooper had a point....flint has some not so wonderful neighbothoods....and i work IN detroit delivering narcotics so I know second my friend luke and i were talking the other day (luke has a differant skin color than mine) we came to the conclusion that watching a black guy 'cruise' in the suburbs is virtually the same as watching a white guy 'cruise' in the city.....they are just looking for differant things dont read too much into it just an interesting point and a little off topic

the gender classifications of german are crazy (or other languages) .....my case in point.....(if i remember my german correctly) is that der Mann becomes die Manner when plural (der is masculine and die is feminine) the word for girl 'das Mädchen' uses the gender neutral "das" when even der Bleistiftspitzer gets a masculine 'the' did anyone know that their Bleistiftspitzer had a gender? to me it's all verrückt

How about an official GC puppy? kinda like how...what was it? Budweiser? that had that dog for all those years....except these ones you could buy ALOT of them and just keep them in a warehouse somewhere......ooh ooh a great trading item....just make sure to ship with holes in the box......i made that mistake once....

just look up at the imaginary animals in the tree's a camera will help

My ford ranger got t-boned by an f-250 this past winter so that's given me an opportunity to buy a more efficient car ford ranger=15 mpg subaru impreza=25 mpg honda civic=35 mpg, oh and someone needs to look up the price of a gallon of "Procrit 40" the anemia injection

So maybe this copying-deleter was born in 1976 and wants to remember that while geocaching. I think you should amend your name to stand out more....such as the original spirit of 76 or maybe super stupendous spirit of seventy-six. Or you can go bash the guys knee-caps in, i know this guy you can call. He has a 45 and a shovel i doubt the "Spirit of 76" would be missed.

1. Little bell's on one of your hiking shoes. 2. Bear spray is only good at short ranges. 3. 9mm will only piss off a grizz a 45 would be better. 4. Leave food in a tree outside of camp. 5. you arent going to see a bear unless you cook steak and potatoes in butter every night for dinner.

While backpacking in yellowstone a few years back I came upon a group of asian tourists standing on the trail. Upon reaching the group I saw what they were looking at, a very large bear. This was all fine and dandy except said bear was no more then 100 feet from us at the time and there were no fences between the two parties. Then these tourists whipped out their camera's (no joke) and started taking FLASH pictures of said bear (who was now on two legs looking at us) all the while jabbering with each other in loud voice. I very quickly boogied the other way.

ALL the time I get either Shaggy from scooby-doo (especially when i have the half go-tee) or even better yet Camron, the best friend from "Ferris Buellers Day Off" GO WINGS!

Everyone has been most helpful! Another issue I have with jeeps is that they are built in Mexico and are not really American by that definition, but then neither is a Subaru. Living with the Big Three in your backyard can be tough when looking for a new car! I have a 99 Subaru Impreza that im looking at, i wanted to get a 00 or younger because of the revamp but cannot seem to find a decently priced one with low miles. The 99 impreza only has 35 k miles and the guy wants 8k for it. Oh plus im at work 8 days a week so I never have time to do this whole car buying thing. I also looked at the pontiac vibe but it's too new and out of my price range hence. Even the family mechanic has tried to convince me to get a Honda, but the Civic will have to bat third in rotation until all Subaru attempts have failed, though my research has uncovered some vicious truths about VW's of recent. Thank you all again for HO's and keep them coming P.S. Anyone near the motor-city got a nice car for sale cheap? a fellow-cacher discount?

after being hit by an f-250 truck 2 weeks ago i have the insurance check in hand to get a new caching vehicle......had a hard time passing up a new (used) jeep cherokee but i just cannot deal with 15 miles per gallon at 2 bucks a gallon anyhow....ive been looking at Subaru's rather seriously....all wheel drive and decent gas mileage are good but build quality seemed low on the one i test drove....im looking for honest thoughts and opinions on subaru's?? or VW jetta's (they're my second choice right now) oh and happy caching

I tend to use a classical approach....when i notice someone taking interest in what im doing I immediately start looking up at either the sky or the trees. Of course humans are curious animals and the other person generally will look up to see what I am looking at. There is usually a squierrel or something around to look at, if not keep looking anyways people will just assume theres something really small or out of their view that you ARE looking at....then with a little luck they leave you alone. Note that this wont work at all caches, but you might gather a funny looking crowd at an urban micro.

whether you are right or wrong your wife or girlfriend is still right....

a month after 9/11 i flew from athens to naples as part of a backpacking trip. The security searched my backpack (all 75 pounds of it) all to find a plastic knife and fork (the kind you can get from mcdonalds) that i kept in my mess kit. they informed me that those were dangerous and that they needed to be confiscated (no big deal) but what really struck me was that with my in-flight meal i was given a metal fork and knife (with a sharp point) to eat my meal. ummmmm?

no passenger no back up geocaching car but it give me an excuse to go out and look for a 4X4 maybe a jeep?

This is what happened to me while i was on my way to perform cache maintinence. The other driver apparently had been celebrating with the green beer early

Please Everybody who does choose to drink please have a designated driver. I just got hit by a drunk driver today and my geocaching truck is totaled. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE NO DRUNK DRIVING!
