The Irish Pirates

Maybe I missed it. Where do we submit the pictures? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

We (myself and a couple of other Cache teams) tried our first nught time only black light cache. It was extremely COOL!! It was a 4 part multi and even tho we got skunked trying to find the second set of coord's everyone had a blast. We finally gave up around 11:00pm cause we had an hour drive to get home! Will definitely try it again! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

If it's on a child, wouldn't it be a "moving cache" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

Yeah, saw it adevertised on a TechTV show. There are a couple of kids in my neighborhood who definitely should be wearing these (the police ones are just around the corner for them) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

Going off topic here...Why the hell is it everytime someone voices an opinion you are whining or b**ching!! The majority of us are well aware of how the political system works (use that word loosely). Maybe I am b**ching, I'm not alone. Sometimes I wonder who is in charge of the government. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

I agree with Sam. I always use the old phrase, Who died and left the US boss!! Why do TPTB feel we should meddle in every countries affairs. There are plenty of issues that need to be addressed right here. I live in the western end of NY state. The economy here is so bad that the city I live in, has the same population (or close to it) as Niagara Falls, NY. A once booming hub for industry and manufacturing. Now, next to nothing exists. When will "OUR" government come to "OUR" aid!! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

quote:Originally posted by bigredmed:Agree with Kordite. The items mentioned are intrinsically valuable and have meaning. A figure of Vishnu means much more to a Hindu than it does to me, but I can appreciate it for what it is. A rosary isn't part of my church, but I am aware of its significance to others. Pamphlets and tracts are just not in the same league. "Half this game is ninety percent mental." Danny Ozark I agree with the where "does it stop" aspect, but why would someone leave a bible or beads in a cache. I am not catholic or born again or anything like that, me and the fam are walking down a path and are approached by two ppl asking us if we have been saved and stuff. I was totally pi**ed off! I guess, once again it's just me, but I don't see the point of leaving such items in a cache. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

Boy now this thread could really start a "discussion"!!

If you want I can make it into a vector image then you could resize it as big as you want and it won't pixelate or distort. Let me know. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

Like you said, I guess because there are some that try to increse the numbers by faking. That's why I take pics of every cache I go to. No questions about it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

I was waiting for someone else to do it first...I vote for mine LOL -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

You are right it is based on the changes in location. There was another thread discussing the margin of error with making drastic changes in altitude. I guess on flat terrain it's fairly accurate. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

All I have to say is, why oh why did I look at the pics!! LOL! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

Some sites are more difficult than others. I was on the side of a hill, wide open to a heavily used bike/walking path. The trick wasn't getting there unnoticed rather getting the cache signing the log and replacing it without being seen. Had to pretend we were rock collecting to avoid suspicion. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

The same thing happened to me when I hit a couple of caches in a day. Got them mixed up good -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

Not to open up a can of worms, but egging him (or her) on is not going to accomplish anything either. [rant mode on] One other thing I am offended that you even dare compare a cache pirate to the events of 9/11!!!! Apples and oranges my friend. We are talking about a game here and you are taking it to the same level as a terroist attack. Not cool in my book. [rant mode off] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

I'd tell you, but I'm better than all of you..LOL how about elite. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

I would e-mail them and ask them to edit the logs. Since they can do it easily. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

You will also find even when you haven't travelled a distance it may take up to 5 minutes to get a lock. My next door neighbor and myslef spent almsot 10 minutes waiting to go on a cache because it couldn't lock on enough satellite's. Be patient it willcacth up with you. And happy caching!! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

quote:Originally posted by jeff35080:I'm not old, I'm only 35 and what I'm describing was less than 20 years-ago.... what has happened to our society when pocket knives are now taboo.... it's a darn shame Well I'm 37 (respect your elders, youngin' )and I can remember expicitly the rule of no knives on school property. I guess it comes down to your geographic location and how such things are viewed in the community. Look at life 50 years ago and how it has changed, something's for the better and others not so good. During the mid 50's we as americans were a bunch of cocky bastards. Nothing could happen here, life is good, nothing bad can happen and the economy was strong. What happened to those days? Who do you blame? You can't blame society, unfortunately, since we are all a member of it so we are all to blame. You can't blame government, who put them there...we did. Sorry getting a bit off topic. I still don't know in good conscience if I could let my kid walk around town with a pocket knife on him. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

Wow, on the Niagara Falls topic, I just got this in my weekly watch e-mail Love Canal Cache Gives a whole timeline about the events at Love Canal. Nothing like trekking through a toxic wasteland looking for trasure. LOL, and I thought knives were dangerous -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

That's too funny, my Father-in-law was telling me about his old timer knife he used to have and would use it to clean his teeth!!! Course he ain't got them no more LMAO!! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson

quote:Originally posted by jeff35080:Well the poll definitely doesn't have a broad enough range of participants to be truly valid but it's interesting nevertheless. I did find it humorous the 5 out 6 in the poll only think a knife should be carried in the woods (where a majority of caches are hidden). If I lived about 20 miles from Buffalo I would make sure I carried one all the time I do like that part of the country and enjoyed a trip to Tonawanda, although the trip from Palmyra to there was quite a bumpy one of the Thruway (did I spell that right?). LOL, I tried to talk to more ppl about it but what I did try to do is talk to different folks that were raised in the city and in the country on farms. I'm a city boy and have been all my life so I wanted to make sure I wasn't being biased from the way I was raised. Yeah living near Buffalo is uhh, rather interesting. Geographically we are more concerned with the garbage that is imported from Niagara Falls more. That city has gone to almost nothing but slums and crime crime crime. You spelled Thruway correct and all of NY roads are just like it . Like you said we all try to raise our kids with a certain level respect and responsibilty but I'm sure you are well to aware of the parents who take no actions in "rasing" thier children. That scares me the most because I see it in my neighborhood more and more every year. We have a murder on average one every 2 - 3 years. The most recent was a month ago, one block from our house!! When will ppl learn! Anyways, I enjoyed the "debate" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cache me out dammit, I'm in a hurry! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson
