    Central Valley Cachers

    in West and Southwest

    Posted · Edited by TeamTek

    Hope everyone's doing well. Just wanted to pass along a little note. My daughter was in Science Olympiad State Competition on April 18th. One of her events was called "Road Scholar" and is about map reading. She told me after the test the story line was all about Geocaching. Which I thought was pretty cool. She said they mentioned waypoints and cache locations. I was very proud of her bring home a gold medal in that event, a silver in "Elevated Bridge", and a Bronze in "Bio Process Lab". I'm happy to see caching spreading to other areas in a positive way!!!!

    Looks like everyone had fun at the event! Just stopping by and just seeing how everyone is doing. My dad and I might get into more of a rhythm in the summertime in ways of geocaching. Anyways too bad we couldn't make it to the event, our schedule was full. Hope to see you guys around.

    Breaking News on this Saturday...

     

    I didn't know it but Gatherings require two weeks notice. Since this is an urgent issue (I know everyone wants to get their grubby little hands on a 2005 Jeep Travel Bug), I'm going to be there anyway. No gathering credits but we can still visit or you can do a hit and run or whatever.

     

    The joy will be seeing each other, talking and logging this 2005 Jeep Travel Bug. After the event, I will be taking it to a secret location (and installing a Ford Suspension) and stashing it into a CVC cache. I won't be logging the drop until someone finds it so your best chance is to meet met for coffee this Saturday.

    It time for another cup of coffee and a little chatting. Come and join us for a morning eye openner. If you're new to CVC (Central Valley Cachers), this is a must do. We'll be at this little coffee house from 8AM until at least 9:30AM.

     

     

    It's been too long and now that I'm back from the desert, it's time to get together and tell some stories. This is a come as your are (unless your in a robe) and enjoy talking event. There will be no surprises (cough) like normal but I will have an official Jeep Travel Bug. Everyone that attends can log it as a find.

    Hope to see you all there. (All New Cachers Welcome!)

    I don't know if it's smart to go. I'm sure they'll take me and tape me up in the back begging for a clue on my cache... ;)

    My newest cache is up! Check it out!

    hmmm...No FTF yet on this one! I may have to make a trip Northward soon. :D

    They're on the way...

    ...Yesterday, I was in Stockton waiting for this to be approved and ended up with four DNF's - three of which are confirmed MIA's but I believe it's the lot. :o On a good note, we did get six finds including a Stump Tek that had burned me before.

     

    Now what? Work or Tek's 50th? Work or Tek's 50th? Hummm. That's a difficult one. I know what Kenny would do. :D

    Even if you did decide to come up here I think you'd be wasting your time cause your not going to find it. :P:D;):)

    Bill....I need your help!  or the young eagles..

     

    Ripon Pack 414 is having a park day for the pack meeting next month.  They are planning a geocaching/orienteering activity.  There is a very small committee meeting next week on Wednesday night. I can't go because I am starting a 6 week mentoring class.  Don can go, but could use some help. 

     

    I would think it would be best to just fake up a temporary geocache for the boys to find.  Do you think you can help with ideas? or go to the committee meeting?    or give a little talk at the pack meeting? 

     

    I also think it best to leave the real geocaches alone.  what do you think.

     

    PS. I found two caches in the past couplea days.

    Well, I think National Treasure - Ripon will keep them busy for a few years. B) I'd be delighted to help at the meeting but have a commitment I can't break that day. Tonight would have worked - darn it. Geocaching is a great activity for scouts so maybe someone else can step up to the plate this time. Hummm. Who likes scouting, lives in CVC and knows enough about Geocaching that he could introduce it to another pack? :D

    I hope your not talking about me..... :lol:

    Thanks for the info...Maybe I'll give it a try. I own several domain names already so I am familiar with that process, just not building the site. I am also ok with a little HTML, but can pick things up rather quickly.

    You could take a look at www.sitecrossing.com. Cost looks reasonable and it has options of a whole lot of the features you might wish to use. I haven't used it, but have considered it.

    Another good lead...I will do some homework tomorrow and maybe start down this path.

     

    Has the CVC ever had an official site?

    Tim I beleive Adobe has a website making utility. Pagemaker I think.

    Thanks Kenny...I own every Adobe product that they have made. (Guess I should read the instructions evry now and then!) :(

    I hate Adobe. Everytime a person uses it to make a webpage it takes a really long time to load it. Could be just me. :grin:

    OK, I also hiked (ran actually) in from the preserve. The hunt took a while as I finally found the cache about 50+ feet South of the coordinates. However, I'm sure that is debatible as those trees really mess with the GPSr. I took my readings out in the clear and projected in several times.

    It's now nice to see JeepySR DNFed this before me. It will add some room for poking fun.

     

    Thanks for the fun and exersise today.

    Hmmm, I recall being run off this area twice! Once by human, Once by K-9 :) Sorry Z & I missed Motowns Greatest Hits. :D My father has some health issues we are dealing with right now but we should be right as rain in a month or so. :blink: Really enjoying reading all the logs & posts. :D Even though we won't beable to cache for awhile, I can still be up to date with all that's going on within the CVC. Hope to see all soon :)

     

    Sal & Z

    I think I'll hide some caches. I have some REALLY devious ideas for some caches, some I think Bill knows from a certain source at the event... :D
