Anyone ever find the Russian out in the NJ Pine Barrens?

I flew Southwest on December 18th and January 3rd. In December, GPSrs couldn't be used. In January they were OK (I checked the in-flight magazine). On the January flight, I had the flight attendants asking me where we were!

If you are that allergic, get the shots to get over the allergy. I was really allergic to ragweed, but grew out of it. The symptoms were controlled by OTC and perscription drugs, but if it wasn't I would have gotten shots to control it.

It's basically just him. His wife will ride with him, but he is the cacher.

I know TeamAlamo and it is mostly one guy. He has enough time and money so he can basically do it all the time. If he has to go someplace, he makes sure he catches the new caches on the way.

It's an event. Having an picnic for 2 or 4 hours is temporary too. These just happen to be 15 minute events. I've seen people come to events for 20-30 minutes and have to leave, or come 15 minutes before it was over. What is the difference?

Do a search for nano caches. The ones in my area have logs with spaces for about 30 names.

The 528 ft rule is the distance you must travel to get the cache. Two caches can be 200 ft across a river if you have to travel over 0.1 mike to get to it. There is one near my house that is about 150-200 feet from another cache. One is at the top of a hill and the other is by the creek at the bottom of the almost sheer drop of about 70-80 feet. You have to walk or walk/drive over a half mile to get to one from the other.

Be glad he doesn't mak the cache with "something else"!

I my area, If you were with the cacher when it was hidden or they had you check the coords (find it before publication), you sign the book and wait to log until 3 or 4 people have signed it. Then when logging on the site, you state you were a beta tester. haven't had any fights here as far as I know.

There was a cache in my area (now archived) that was about 15-20 feet under an interstate! There is a drainage tunnel crossing under the highway. One end was in a park and there was a nice swale that led to the approximately 5.5 ft diameter pipe. In the middle was a ladder that led up to a manhole on the interstate. The cache was a drink container tied to the bottom of the ladder. There was no need to go out ON the interstate at all.

I found a cache at around midnight in a park and ride lot. Before I coud put it back, a pickup pulled in the lot. I took the film can with me and rode around for about 15 minutes and came back. The pickup was still there. Since it may be spending the night there I came up with a good idea. I pretended that I was drunk and staggered behind a palm tree to relieve myself (really didn't) . As I "staggered" back to the car, I leaned on the nearby sign and put the film can back in the top of the pole it was on (about chest high).

The OP is in Sunnyvale, CA (Silicon Valley), a very cache rich area. There are 7000-8000 caches within 100 miles, and that is with the Pacific Ocean about 15 miles or so to the west.

I renewed my PM through the Groundspeak Store with a CC on a Friday evening. It went through that Monday morning. I guess it wasn't that busy of a day at the HQ.

We were fighting some development in the neighborhood and had a lawyer. We were going to put fliers around the neighborhood to get people to show up at city hall for the hearing. Our lawyer said to make sure we did not put any in any mailboxes or slots. We had to put them in the paper tubes at the street or in between the screen door and solid door.

There was a cacher in the area that had a cache with a very hard puzzle. When People solved it he kept adding puzzle after puzzle. Some cachers wanted to see if this cache really existed. They played battleship and figured out the coords were in the middle of a fairway on a private golf course and that there never was an actual cache. The reviewer in the area archived it when shown the evidence.

There was an interesting show about cemeteries on PBS last week by the same guy that did a show on sandwiches. In Atlanta (I think) they have a program that has dance, art and drama in the cemetery. The plots have all been sold since before 1900, so to get people to come thay started the arts program.

A 35 degree slope is difficult climbing.

I'm no programmer, but why aren't people mad at the makers of the Blackberry, and various smatphones for using proprietary systems?

Last Sunday I was getting a LPC in a Costco parking lot at 3 PM. I thought the coast was clear, grabbed the cache, signed and was going to put it back. One of the cars I thought was empty pulls up and an old guy says "I've called the cops. I saw you trying to steal wire from that light." I tried to explain geocaching, but he repeated that he called the cops. I think he was bluffing since he then left . If I had called the cops, I would have hung around to give a description. I then left too. I passed a few cops from that town within the next few hours, but none pulled me over. If I'm going to be stealing wire from a parking lot light, I'm gonna do it at 3 PM on a Sunday. Right.

No cache at this one, but an interesting story: There is a cemetery where you can also see an NFL game! In the early 70s when Erie County, NY was building a new stadium for the Buffalo Bills, they found an abandoned cemetery. It turns out it was asmall family cemetery of the ancestors of the people who had sold the land to the county. Instead of digging the bodies up, the county fixed up the cemetery and it now stands in the parking lot for Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park NY. I have also head a lecture on the local public access channel where the archeologist said that the median of one of the major streets in the town still has hundreds of Native American skeletons in it. When they were putting the street in, they found so many that they and the local tribe decided to leave them there.

go to www.thegba.net which is the web site for the Geocachers of the Bay Area , the local caching organization. You'll get a lot of replies.

If you work in biotech, you can "borrow" some from the lab.

I don't want a nano size category. Two good caches I found in the area were one nano hidden inside a snail shell and another one hidden in a nutshell. If the listing said nano, it wouldn't have been as good a hide.
