Here's caching and climbing that I did this past weekend.
WOW!! That's pretty extreme!! Thanks for sharing!!
Finally dude, I have been waiting in anticipation for a week now.... I was scared, I heard on news 10 that an Abominable Snow Bear was seen eating climbers on Mt. Shasta, I thought you brought plenty of food.

Hello everyone!
My name is Hunter Peterson, ive been an avid geocacher and filmmaker for quite sometime. Recently, i was approached on entering a film festival known as "Quest Fest." And of course, my topic is about geocaching
The film is only six minutes long, but in that time, it will tell the story of a boy, trying to find the world's hardest cache (not really, i believe the hardest one is in Nepal somewhere...).
Now the reason im posting this is to tell of where the cache will be hidden (In the film, he gets an email from the site about the new cache near him) so that people can be given a heads-up that its only an area, not an actual cache...
When the film is finished, i will definitely post a link here
And also, after the film is finished, a cache the size of the prop in the movie will be placed there with alot of trinkets
Cheers,
--Hunter
Sounds cool! Good luck!

Super!

So after a 6 month Hiatus from caching, mostly due to my new little cacher, I am back in the swing of things! My second day back caching and I had one of those $300 geocaches, see my log below.

Ouch! try the reset procedure before giving up on it.
Yup tried that, rest the memory, and re-initialized, no help =( Never sees any Satellites. I needed a new GPS any ways =)

Congratz to me for 1400!......
Yea I know its sad slapping myself on the back.

Why many of us cache...
I was listening to "Hearts of Space" when i saw this and almost cried
-
Anyone noticed the Eucalyptus forest near UCSD is looking a little dry? Dead trees everywhere. This is the home to many wonderful geocaches, I hope it survives.
Yea... That was my bad. (true story) I had a bunch of mexican food the night before grabbing a cache there and had to make an emergancy pit stop in the forest...

That dog is ready to attack! Run! Cujo on the loose!

The third satellite gives two possible spots where you could be:Here is a cool website that shows you how a GPS works!
Yea i tried it out, It is a neat and easy way to learn basic of gps. I though in order to get a lock you needed four satalittes?
3 satellites will get you a 2D location. The 4th lock will get you your 3D position.
Thanks that is what i thought but none of the gps basic sites ever has a fourth satalitte
The GPS is programmed to discard the spot that is out in the middle of space. That is why you really only need 3 satellites to determine your actual position.
You can get your Lat and Long with 3 satalites but you still will not know your altitude, as I can be at the same point on the earth but if I climb a 50ft latter I will be 50ft higher. That is what the 4th is for.

Get out your pitchforks and torches. U2U's nano supplier has been caught red-handed.

================================
Caching run on Otay Mountain Truck Trail
When: June 7th, 2008
Time: 7:30am
Where: Meet up/Carpool near GCQB76
Pocket Query - center on GC10B8Z "On a clear day"
================================
There is a group of us that wanted to go get the Otay Mountain Truck Trail caches before heading up to the "IHO: The Three Musketeers". We will be meeting up in the parking lot of the "Drats! This game is addicting!" (GCQB76) cache to caravan down Campo/94 to the turn off at (N32.63163 W116.76404). When we finish, we will be near Otay Mesa Rd (N32.58177 W116.91908).
Initially, we are planning to stay on the main truck trail with a couple of spurs for some close caches. If time allows, we will be able to grab some more on other longer side routes (north of GC10B8Z). We will leave the parking area at 7:30 am to caravan down to start the on the trail by about 8:00 am. Also as a note, we will need to finish by 4/4:30 to get up to the event in time for those going.
Currently going are:
Polarbear,
Eric and Hill,
The Lost Clan,
Zeber,
The Fat Cats,
M2,
Canadian Grl and
map4navigation.
...any one else is welcome to join us. It will probably be about 4 vehicles so far. Most vehicles can make the main drive, but you can get closer is you have higher clearance.
Should be a fun day. I have my Tundra filled with Zeber and The Lost Clan riding with me. Zeber's niece may also join us.. I want to leave promptly, if possible. It is going to be a long day of caching. I would recommend bringing something for lunch for a bite to eat at noon and something to drink. Also, there are some really great views from this trail of Mexico and San Diego.. bring a camera.
Thats the plan far...

I'm coming and may have a empty seat in the toyota so we will get real close to alot of caches. Still waiting to hear from SKILLET. Will be at Dennys at 6.
I will be at Denny's at 6am as well! Somehow the wife let me take the day off for caching! Unfortunatly I won't make the most excellent event....ThePolarBear will be upset about missing his drinking partner.
Hey! Hey! Hey! I'm coming too. Make mine a Regular Slam at Denny's. This will be my first Geocaching outing since my sweet bride had her big-toe operation the second week of March.
I'll need refresher training on my GPSr and PDA, and lots of help for finding hides; it's been so long.
I've done the Otay Mountain run but there's a few Hides that are new since my last time along the ridge.
I'll have room for three riders assuming that they know how to rub their head and pat their belly, you know, at the same time whenever asked. So who was it asking for a ride ... BoysnBarrie or ... ? If so then be fore-warned that my truck isn't painted as a school bus and doesn't sport all those flop-out signs and blinky-amber lights.

Ohhh BOY!!! I just about fell off my chair ... good thang halftrack guy was nearby! How exciting ... off-roading with a bunch of great people! I figured we wouldn't be able to make this one. Woo hoo! I'll see if I can whip up a pineapple upside down cake. Thank you, Harmon. We are looking forward to meetin' ya at Denny's.
Sure but what about the head & tummy thang? No need to go all out on the PUD cake what with this being Otay Truck Trail. Just bring a couple of dawg treats for th' bunker dawg.
Anyway, you and Halftrack Guy are with me for the ride. Don't pay any attention to warnings you might receive about riding with me, they are just kidding.
Shelby and I would like to meet up with you guys, sounds like a fun time
You betcha, let's tag along together ... hopefully with everybody. After all I've got t' get some incriminating photos. ... hoping for a couple of pee-shots. Truth is I could work Team Duckit into my load if y' don't mind sitting on th' PUD cake. On the other hand I do understand that Jeep people only ride in Jeeps.
Haven't seen Shelby in a very long time. Is that gal married yet?
I can see it all now ... I've done this run before and have scored most of the finds so my day will turn out to be all "Turn here" and "Stop there" from the peanut-gallery. Sheesh.
I've had tequila shots ... and I've had whiskey shots ... and I've even had my fair share o' chocolate cake shooters ... but I ain't never heard o' THEM kind o' shots!
And as a professional driver I highly discourage indulgin' yerself with any o' them thar pee-shots! Just sounds like we're all gonna die!
Ya'll need to go to sleep its only 8 hours till breakfast!

Don't forget to come to IHO: The Three Musketeers tomorrow (Saturday 6/7) evening!!!
More spam I demand more spam!

IHO = In Honor Of, typically it will be put out for or because of a specific cacher, for another cacher. For instance you may have a buddy who loves rock climbing caches, so you make a rock climbing cache entiled "IHO - "CacherName" Death from Above"
For instance, ThePolarBear and myself IHO caches for each other.
