    a wise gentleman once said "It has come to my attention that Summer is fleeting." that being the case I am heading to splitrock reservoir Sunday am (8:00 put in) to pick up some of the paddling caches - open to company. The weather looks like it will cooperate.

    Hello,

     

    If I'm able to go, do you have room in your boat or for that matter does anyone else joining you have space for extra body.

     

    Thanks

    Major Announcement Re Psycho Urban Cache #13

    in Northeast

    Posted · Edited by tomflushing

    I know times are hard but you have to admit a lot of effort goes into this site and why not reward those who help support it with a few caches reserved for them. Anytime anyone anywhere tries to "sell" you something there has to be incentive for you to buy and if you don't want to buy this product don't but don't be bitter about it.

     

    For me its the query function that I pay for so I can down load info into my palm ,as this it easy and saves tons of ink , paper and time. I don't care about the subscriber only caches as there are a host of other features for your $ 30.00. I if I were a betting man I'd say that those individuals that are really into this hobby enough to have the gear ,take the time and even try something like # 13 are probably premium members anyway.Good luck with finding the right people to represent us to the world.

    Query for NYC Extreme Cachers: Any Caches Ever Placed in

    In fact, in 1993, graduate student Jennifer Toth, while she was an intern at the Los Angeles Times, penned an entire non-fiction book entitled The Mole People: Life In The Tunnels Beneath New York City been successfully published?

     

    Read the book and it was great but not very believable.If you do find any caches placed there please let me know as this sounds very intresting to me.Yes it dangeous but things have gotten better with regard to the amount of homeless, crack heads are fewer in number and the city and mta have gone out of their way in offering outreach programs to those who normally be living in such places.Now if this was 1980 I won't venture into any tunnels without my 45 and my friends smith and weston.Good luck with your urban exploration adventure.

    How many caches in a 24 hr period?

    in Northeast

    Posted

    We all know Philly, University of Delaware and vincinity have allot of action in a small area. Anyone know of any other number locations in the tri state area that may be off the grid? Looking for bike friendly places. I'll travel as far North as NYC and as far south as 2-3 hours.

     

    How did the thread starter manage? Guess we could look up his profile and go back a few weeks to see what kind of action his team grabbed.

     

    We shouldn't have too.

    Need you guys opinions

    I don't think I have ever seen a true 5/5 cache.

    A legitimate 5/5 would require special skills/equipment to get to the cache (5 terrain), and then require special skills/equipment to find/retrieve the cache once you got there (5 difficulty).

    For example: An ammo can sitting on a ledge that requires a 200ft repel to reach would be a 1/5 cache, not a 5/5.

    </PEEVE>

    Now that we have that out of the way.....

    My personal preference is either high difficulty or high terrain, not both.

     

    If I need to perform an extreme challenge to reach the cache, I don't want to have to spend hours and hours or multiple trips to log the cache. Once I've done the hard task of getting to the cache I want a gimme.

     

    By the same token, if I'm going to have to jump through difficult hoops to actually sign the log then make the cache location easy to get to so I can keep coming back again and again until I get it right.

     

    I agree with this post .I think the cache titled FEAR in S.I. NYC is a true 5 star cache.Maybe you check the finders of this one for their input.
