Garden tilling for the cache huh... I need to figure a way to get the lawn mowed for the cache... They say this universe is bound to blow, I say we crank up the Calypso Control! ~Jimmy Buffett ~Someday I Will~

We mass download & print, but then we review the "weekend targets" for updates before hauling out. Then we keep a special notebook for the found caches, that's our scrapbook. They say this universe is bound to blow, I say we crank up the Calypso Control! ~Jimmy Buffett ~Someday I Will~

I know the feeling, we just started this june and we're taking to it like a house on fire. Okay so I haven't been in for years, but being new I have my lessons freshly learn't: 1.) That depends on your level of confidence, and whether or not the wife would whack you over the head frequently while you try to decifer the clue on a particuarly twisty cache. 2.) If that's fun for you, sure. Me I got a copy of Streets & trips 2003, 19.00$ after rebate, and I can hook the GPS to the laptop, get a moving indicator of location, have all the caches together on one map for route planning, and be the navigator and say "What a strange Wessel that is." and make the wife make that weird noise she gets when her blood pressure spikes. 3.) Yes. That way she's staring at it and you can look around for barkoflage. 4.) I bought a inverter for the cigarette lighter, laptop stays at full charge. If hiking though, DEFINITELY. I also suggest for your part of the country you take what safety equipment an experienced outdoors type would suggest. We pack a loud whistle, mirrors, cell phones, 3 sets of GPS batteries minimum, pens & pencils, a trowel, and 2 rolls of TP (one shrink wrapped). Also take twice as much water as you think you'll need. Granted, we only haul ALL that stuff in deep woods, in town/parks it drops down to pens & pencils, batts, phones, water & small mirror for looking for micros. Did I mention that we get bug repellent in the 2 gallon size? Oh, ok. See ya out there!

Why does it ask if I really want to delete a second post, if I can't do it?

Unexpecting people? Yah I guess there would be some. Good point. Cacher A: Took matchbox car, left bottle of Gary. Cacher B: Took Gary's seasoning, left McToy. Hey cacher A, I think that stuff might have spoiled! Tasted Awful. As for the Travel bug idea I keep imagining a family driving home, a small sneeze from the back seat and a little voice saying "Mommy why does this teddy bear's inside smell like Grandpa's ashtray?"

Suppose a avid cacher dies and has their remains cremated. Thier loved ones further has the ashes & etc. ground up into a fine powder and places said ashes into several dozens of small vials. They then place those vials into a cache with the request to simply spread them far and wide, to be smashed/opened/etc. all over the world at (not on) caches everywhere. They would then post a note/email to the "grave cache" maintainer the coordinates of dispersal. Questions: 1. Would you do so? 2. Would you want that done to you? 3. Would you want someone "dusted" near your cache? 4. What do you think in general about this? BTW I am not specifically planning on doing this, but I had a dream last night where I was setting up the paperwork for my funeral. I've had variations of this dream/nightmare for years since I had to setup my fathers funeral. I've not set a cache yet, and I don't want my carcass to be my first.

For the wife & I it's diffferent aspects. She's a straight numbers counter. Bam bam bam bam... stictly in it for the kill. I often have to stop her, point out the wonderful view, hidden jokes, and sheer forehead slapping "hidden in plain sight" aspect of a cache. The historcal aspect of a lot of virtual caches hidden in a lot of the national parks around our area is about as subtle as she can get on her own, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying she can't see it, it's just not how her mind works. We started playing in June, we've yet to find a hiding place that pleases both of us. Speaking for the team, I would say place the cache somplace you would want your best friend to see, not nessecarily because of how hard they would have to struggle to get there (although that's a valid & nifty reason too!) but because there's something there that should be appreciated by someone else. ...And the rest of the team says make sure we can drive right to it and log it without having to turn off the truck!

Much too busy to answer posts like this. TPBM is too cheap to pay attention to this thread. They say this universe is bound to blow, I say we crank up the Calypso Control! ~Jimmy Buffett ~Someday I Will~

But I do have a good case of bourbon. If I can ever find it again. TPBM has been locked out of the bathroom. They say this universe is bound to blow, I say we crank up the Calypso Control! ~Jimmy Buffett ~Someday I Will~

Actually, I print them out BEFORE I go to them, keep them in a notebook arranged by the road we're going down. For instance when we hit 18 caches in one day in asheville, we started north, on merrimon Ave, and worked our way down 25. Also all those points are saved in MS Streets, first as thumbtacks, then they get changed to dots as we hit them. Also in the notebook still are the 20 we targeted, but did not hit. They can always be used later. We keep the pages for logmaking & have a second notebook of hit targets.
