    Hike of the Month 2009

    in Northwest

    Posted

    I received my HOTM signature item on Sunday, very cool! Sounds like everybody had a good time. Welcome to all the new inductees to the Crazy Monkey Club!

     

    Peace, Nolenator

     

    Wow. Looks like I really have to plan my schedule out now with all the other events getting in the way. :P

     

    The next hike planned (and I have the OK from Mrs TL to do this) is on Sunday, 4/26. Squak Mountain. 5 caches planned and will be bookmarked. Optional 6 if we want to go more than 11 miles roundtrip.

     

    Crazy Monkey Tripod is the targeted cache. Dogs are welcome, cameras are encouraged. We may have some non-cachers with us.

     

    Details to follow soon.

    Live from West Seattle it's Nolenator. Heck it is likely one of my caches you can't find, or Funnynose's. I would be happy to help out. Peace, Nolenator

    This is so true. Nolie and FN are prolific troublemakers clever cache generators in West Seattle. I would be happy to take your family caching on the kindler, gentler side of Lake Washington if you ever choose to mosey over to the Bellevue area. :P

    Hmm... kinder gentler... seems like you are taking a jab at us Wet Siders? Not very kinder and gentler... Peace, Nolenator

    NW Caching October through March

    I think my biggest problem is trying to be stealthy.. a bit hard to do that when climbing out from under a bridge, or in the woods digging in the bushes with a flashlight, seems like it is enough to get the cops called on you. [:blink:]

     

    I use the rubber ball technique. Keep one in your pocket and if you get caught just say you were looking for your ball then pull it out of your pocket. Of course you will have to make up some story about working on hand/eye coordination which will get a laugh because obviously you need some if it bounced under a bridge. Peace, Nolenator

    These folks likely give a rats patute about small geotrails that are made.

     

    Actually they do care. The fact that many of the caches are off trail and creating geotrails is part of the problem. Since you mentioned CITO's there hasn't been a CITO done in a Seattle City Park to the best of my memory. Why not?

     

    Well, then maybe that is a question that should be addressed in the review process. What kind of impact will your cache have on the area it is placed? Even better... Why are you placing it there?

    I think you guys sorta see my point. We leave a huge digital paper trail of park usage by our logs on caches in the parks. Names, dates and even number of people in our group. Shop99er, I think your estimates might be a bit low. These folks likely give a rats patute about small geotrails that are made. The question is how do we show that our park usage is positive and add to the better of the park? Yeah CITO events are great, but I have never been to one because I do it on a regular basis anyway. Remember folks, I am a muck raker trouble maker not a politician. Peace, Nolenator

    Wake up and smell the coffee. The park system has seen increased users and no additional funds because of geocaching. Like many others, I have visited almost every park in the city to find a geocache. I hate to be cynical but after seeing what came about after the negotiations with the State Parks I doubt that caching in the Seattle Parks will be anything like it is now in the months to come. A person would have to be a fool to think it is just enviromental issues. If it weren't for caching I would have never known about the Metal Bugs Of Mystery. Peace, Nolenator

    Gotta give a real big shout out for my hiking buddy Forty-n-Eight for finding 1000 caches! Of course he did it in style. Peace, Nolenator

    Way to go, Josh! Mailbox is at the top of my To Do list, hope to get there one day soon (I guess really soon if it's this year.... else, next summer).

     

    Abby, we left you another reason to go up soon this year about halfway up. Peace, Nolenator
