Oh, BTW, nice bike, Bret!

I must apologize for helping to turn this thread into a "giant steaming load of crap." I have a tendency to take things way too seriously, and I need to work on that.

That's OK. The dog said hi for you.

I have the remember me box checked, but I got on today and found out the site has logged me out. Now, every time I try to log back in, I get the error page.

EarthCache Masters (I'm one!) Thanks! I'm a geology major, so I should be able to easily attain EarthCache Master Status. Eventually.

What is this Earthcache Master status? I've never heard of it before.

I just hit 50 today!

If all goes well, I should find my 50th cache tomorrow!

I think everyone should be required to communicate only through writing Egyptian Hieroglyphics.

So far, there have been 28 "Will Attends" posted. I know some people will be bringing others, but to break the record with 28 people, we'd need to eat almost 25.5 burgers apiece. We're going to need more people.

As far as I know, you have to buy Geocoins and Travel Bugs off the Internet. Here is a list of manufacturer's of Geocoins. http://www.geocaching.com/track/geocoin.aspx Here is where you go to order Travel Bugs. You only buy the dog tags that have the tracking number on them. What you attach to the dog tags is entirely up to you. http://www.geocaching.com/track/order.aspx

We felt one down in Mt. Carmel back in June of 2002. I'm pretty sure you were there. Yes, but mom and I didn't feel it because we were outside.

That was my first earthquake! Pretty cool since there wasn't any damage. That's just Illinois' way of getting back to you for picking on us earlier in the thread.

I'll be there! I joined the site just a few days too late to make it to last year's event.

Welcome! Did your clicker get stuck?

I guess I've just never come across any rattlesnakes in Illinois. *knocks on wood*

Nope, but mushrooms don't really interest me.

We don't have rattlesnakes in Illinois.

There's one that's just a few blocks from my house, but judging by the latest logs, I think it's gone.

What do you mean?

Welcome to the game and the Forums. I'll give you a tip though, the best caches are in Indiana. Gee. We wouldn't be biased at all, would we?

Finally! We're getting some Illinois cachers on the forums! Sorry, blackpondoutfitters, Pomona is a little far away for me.

Which alien do you mean? The one with the big head or the green one? The green one.

The alien just looks like he's trying to be friendly! I don't see what the big deal is.

If that cache wasn't all the way in California, I'd at least attempt it.
