    More Drama By Duane (upinyachit)

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    i know this is off topic, but i live in mid michigan and there is a beautiful full moon just rising.  why doesn't everyone with clear skys go out when the moon rises in their timezone and just look at it.  it's beautiful.  if you can, go do a night cache.  enjoy the moon tonight.

    If this topic doesn't interest you, then go do something else

    I think their point is that nothing is going to be solved in this thread...It just continues to go around and around...Arguing over the internet is pretty much useless and acomplishes nothing...

     

    You also pointed out that Duane acted like a normal everyday nice guy in person...But, it's kind of funny you should say that...I would be willing to bet that about 95% of people who talk trash on the net do not have the back bone to back it up or say it in person...I'm guessing that is the case here... :lol:

    CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG! THIS IS A GAME FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!

     

    I mean, all of this just over some dudes screen name?? Honestly, I see nothing wrong with the name, I see more of an issue with the guys attitude than anything...It seems to me like he is bringing a lot of this upon himself, but for whatever reason people seem to be missing that fact and focusing more on the name...

     

    Brainsnat made an excellent point with his last post and I feel he hit the nail right on the head...

     

    That reminds me of something...A lot of people say they are insulted by the name, upinyach** or whatever, saying it is offensive to kids...But, if I remember correctly there was some sort of musical or family movie way back when called "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" I think his name has nothing to do with going to the bathroom or human waste...I think he simply expressing his love for that movie!?!? :lol: :lol:

    Are We Allowed To Make Paintball Caches

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    I am not sure why not?

    You have a Cache in the play area, You log the find, You call it an event cache. You want to play you go, you dont want to play you do not go.

    Just make sure that the paintball part is pointed out so people like me who would not be interested do no show.

    I say if you have enough people interested in taking part in it, go for it! It would basically be a one time thing and I don't think I would even try and put the coords. on the board...

     

    The way I look at it, it is one part geocaching and one part paintball...Sounds fun if you ask me...Once again, I say go ahead and try and pull it off, I mean everyone on here might not agree with it, but it's not like the geocaching police are going to raid the event and shut it down! ;);)

    You hit the nail right on the head with that statement! It's too bad more people don't leave stuff like that in the caches...Personally I would rather find something a person took some time and made by hand, rather than having something store bought, even if they spent upwards of $20 or more on it...

     

    But, really it all comes down to the hunt...Either you love it or you don't! Finding stuff in the cache is just icing on the cake if you ask me!

    Question about the rebates on Offroute.com

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    I was wondering how the rebates worked on the offroute.com website...Are the prices they list before or after the rebate? Say for instance, they have the Meridian Platinum for $281, but also advertise a $50 rebate...Does the $281 already take into account the $50 rebate? I am guessing it does, but it is not really very clear on their site...Thanks for the help!

    Camelback issue

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    It seems to me that the fact that the liquid you are going to be putting in the CamelBak is going to be colder then the outside temp, thus causing moisture or sweating...It has to have some way to evaporate otherwise it seems to me it will just pool in the bottom of the pack...

    What's in your Geocaching pack?

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    This is my first post and I would like to start off by saying hello to everyone! I was a lurker on this site for a little while and finally decided to join up...So far I love the hobby!

     

    So, to my question...Whenever you guys head out in search of a cache, what sort of gear do you take along with you?

     

    Just curious, as I feel I made need to revise my current setup...

     

    Thanks for any info you might contribute!!
