  1. Japan and US here. "I cache; therefore I am"
  2. What about a fake porta-potty cache? "I cache; therefore I am"
  3. Check this website out and look for the 25th and 26th of September. http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/bulletin/bulletin.html We have been doing some serious shaking here in Japan. Woke up yyesteray to a 8.3 Earthquake and have had 14 major "aftershocks". Aftershocks my foot, these are earthquakes as well. The website also has some interesting educational information on eathquakes. "I cache; therefore I am"
  4. DM--Most heartfelt thoughts from Japan. Stay positive--You say she has been seen in the area--that is a good indication. If, if fact she wandered from home, she will see that life without the security of home isn't what it is cracked up to be. I've worked with at risk teens in the past. We are hoping and praying that she stays safe until she makes the decision to return to the folks that care about her. Chances are, so of her close friends know of her whereabouts. That could be a tough nut to crack. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. "I cache; therefore I am"
  5. OK, I have attempted to understand this whole concept and have hurt a few precious brain cells trying to make sense of this whole deal. Is it standard practice for folks to put stuff in a cache designated for a specific person? Kinda takes the spirit of things away from the experience, but who am I? "I cache; therefore I am"
  6. Here is a case of a reaction in Utah http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=39994 And here is the news article http://tv.ksl.com/index.php?nid=39&sid=11248 "I cache; therefore I am"
  7. Why do we want to get rid of the pirates. They have a 73 Win and 83 Lose record. Come on now folks, they are still leading the Reds and the Brewers in the NL Central--What next get rid of the Yankees? http://pittsburgh.pirates.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/index.jsp?c_id=pit "I cache; therefore I am"
  8. Romad Pilot--Drop me an e-mail. I have some I can drop in the mail to you. I will be out of contact until the 20th, but will try to check e-mail. I will bring it with me so I can mail it from the road. Ask and ye shall receive. "I cache; therefore I am"
  9. Give it a whirl--Imagination and creativity go a long way. Some will enjoy the hunt, others won't. Bottom line to me is have good coordinates and the thrill of the hunt. "I cache; therefore I am"
  10. Awesome stuff--Domo Arigato "I cache; therefore I am"
  11. Great stuff--I had actually thought of doing my top 10 survival tips on a laminated card to leave in caches. I really like this list--never thought of the urine thing though. "I cache; therefore I am"
  12. Heck,some of us are really absent minded as we get a little older. I forgot to leave an intro note in one of my own caches. Who knows, maybe I was never there to begin with. "I cache; therefore I am"
  13. Ellie Mae learns real quick that you DO NOT MILK A BULL "I cache; therefore I am"
  14. Trip wires and high explosives work for me. "I cache; therefore I am"
  15. Flask--don't forget the pop tarts "I cache; therefore I am"
  16. quote: I have purchased a pair of hiking boots to leave in the car for just such occasions. I'm sure they look real cute with a mini-skirt! Just ask a young lady with the trail name of Belcher. She wore a sun dress on parts of the AT as she through hiked it a few years back. That and the Au Natural(unshaved) legs have my vote for wilderness fashion. "I cache; therefore I am"
  17. Sing along if you know this one Sorry youngsters this one is only in syndicate now. Green Acres is the place for me. Farm livin' is the life I need. Land spreadin' out so far and wide. Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside "I cache; therefore I am"
  18. Here's a good example of the data shown on the website. It even gives me the exactly Long/Lat to get the premium viewing. Date: Saturday, 23 August, 2003 Your Location: Misawa (40.683°N, 141.400°E) Time Zone: Japan Standard Time (GMT + 9:00) Satellite: Iridium 5 Antenna (MMA): Left Flare centre is at: 40.688°N, 141.364°E Distance to centre: 3.1 km (1.9 miles) At your location At flare centre Time: 19:51:57 19:51:57 Magnitude: -6 -6 Altitude: 18° 18° Azimuth: 353° (N ) 354° (N ) Mirror angle: 0.1° 0.0° "I cache; therefore I am"
  19. I once lived in a sanitarium. "I cache; therefore I am"
  20. If you put instant coffee in the microwave oven, will can you put it through a time warp? "I cache; therefore I am"
  21. Does Boone's Farm still make their Sangria? "I cache; therefore I am"
  22. Ah Yes the ole Trail Magic. It's that totally unexpected, unsolicited reward that magically appears at the right time. I believe the terms Trail Angels and Trail Magic originated on the AT, but has spread throughout the Long Distance Hiking community. Trail Magic even happens between the trailhead and a trail town when that little black pickup appears out of nowhere and Bubba pulls over and hollers "going into town?"--"jump in" Many of the Trail Angels around the AT are veteran section or Thru-hikers. They feel somehow indebted for the gracious gifts others have provided as they trudged that magical trail. I too have left goodies at trailheads along roads that crossed the AT. There is also another term along the AT and that is "Yogi". Yep you guessed it, just like Yogi the bear. You yogi something by deliberately putting yourself in a position for people to offer you something because of sympathy or pure wonder at why you are hiking all of those miles. I've seen this in campground settings around the Standing Indian area. My those hotdogs sure look good cooking on that grill there Mr. Ranger. Sept1C-tank, When you place your Trail Magic Cache, make it a multi cache with rewards along the way.

  23. This is incredible--I'll be check this out for sure. "I cache; therefore I am"
