It depends on if I visit the forums after caching. If I do, I break out my ultracool Kealia shotglass and let er rip. If I refrain from the forums, just about anything winds me down.

I started drinking coffee in the Navy. Back then I'd drink it all day long. My right hand nearly became permanantly hooked from holding my mug. These days I drink a pot in the morning and switch to water/juice or soda in the afternoons. When I'm caching it's plain water all day (after my morning pot of coffee).

I'd say it's a legit ftf. The logbook was blank and they were there first. Giving out coords while waiting to be published isn't untold of. I've given out coords prepost a number of times, usually in our local forums or via email.

Heres an old pen tablet that I've used as an in-car nav screen. It's got a color touchscreen, cdrom and serial port. As long as you run a mapping program that'll run on a 486, you're good to go. I got an extra laying around here somewhere.

The electronic compass is the best feature for me. As for the other perks, I do live in the Rockies.

I own an explorist 600, one of the higher end units. Here are some of the nice features of a high end gpsr. 1. sd card. I have detail topo maps of the entire western states (could have been all of the US if I took the time to load them) in my gps at all times. I also have virtually unlimited pq's stored on my gps. 2. Electronic compass. No more doing the bumblebee dance when I approach ground zero 3. Thermometer. It's how hot?? 4. Geocache software builtin. Paperless caching without a pda. 5. purty color screen. 6. barometer. Is that a storm in your pocket or you just happy to see me? I'm a gearhead. I love the technology behind my hobby dejour and that sentiment applies to all of them. In my scuba phase, I wasn't satisfied with bulky steel tanks and bubbles, so I got a rebreather.

I had a red tailed hawk build a nest in the rafters of my front porch once. We had to use the garage entrance most of the spring and well into the summer. I finally posted a sign on the walkway leading to the porch so our visitors could avoid being attacked.

Impressive records, but.... I'll have you know that I was the first cacher to use a solar power battery backed FM transmitter broadcasting from a light pole in the world.

If cache owners would rate their caches properly, you could simply rely on the star ratings. I've gotten my butt kicked on 1.5 rated caches before.

This one looks fun. Where is it? It was on the beach near silver strand in california. As it was an anniversary gift, we didn't publish it. If we had tried to publish it, it would not have been approved.... 1. no logbook 2. contained booze 3. was buried 4. temporary vacation cache They were all grins even though they didn't get a yellow smilie for it.

It ain't broke. Everyone plays their own game in their own way. It's no different from any other sport or hobby. Every sport also has it's purist crowd and it's unsavory characters. Many flyfishermen look down on bait fishermen, some people fish with dynamite. Many golfers scoff at mulligans, I have an unlimited supply of them. Most people fall somewhere in the middle.

In collection = 3 (Moun10bike ver 3, trackerjack one of a kind, steal your face) In the wild = 70something

I get offers to go caching with strange people frequently. The more I go caching with them, the stranger they become. I think it's the spuds. Seriously though, be cautious but don't be paranoid. I've met a few flakes, but most cachers I've met are among the finest people you'd care to meet.

You get a cute toy in every happy meal you eat. You can also scrounge some stray balls near the driving range. Seriously tho. Heres a good spot. Oriental trading co.

I found some poo at This Cache.

Back in the late 70's while quail hunting with my brother, we came upon a couple dozen pot plants in nice neat rows in the forest. They had been carefully maintained and groomed as was evident in their huge banana shaped appendages. We did not report it to the police. We also did not snip off the appendages and fill our daypacks with the stuff (as far as you know).

Most expensive? Swag aside, I'm over $200.00 on "Bride of Frankenstein" so far with 1 more waypoint to go. Hopefully to be completed and published in June.

Hanging's too good for him. Burning's too good for him! He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive! ~Hanover Fiste~

After my pocket pc died, I hunted blind for almost a year. Since I upgraded to an explorist, I have most of the pertinant cache info (hints, types ratings etc) right on my gps. Life just got a little bit easier.

I was within inches of This Cache a number of times before I heard of geocaching.

Bret wins. I have about 2 more years before my grandkids are ready for caching.

Found on google. Flashlight using CR123's in a cupboard explodes, blowing a hole in the cupboard door.

The last time I actually found a tick embedded was about 1974. Since then I've not been bitten and have brushed a total of 2 off my arm.
