Didn't that area get fried in the fire? I know that cache is a virtual now but the park might be closed if the park did get fried. I know all SDRP is closed up here.I am going to be doing the Mt Israel cache today in Elfin Forest Mt. Israel.I plan on starting at the trail head at 3:15pm. If anyone wants to come join me on the trip it would be great!
Nope, that area is very much open. I was there yesterday checking it out. Grabbed the George Washington's cache while I was out there. Elfin forest is closed on everything East of the Escondido Overlook. Mt Israel is located right at the Escondido Overlook. So assuming that Elfin Forest's web page is acurate, it should be accessable. Never the less, I will be finding out today

OK, so we will take up a collection at the Nomex v. Ramius event on Saturday. Bring your spare items (and from personal experience, I can recommend gift cards from places like Target, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, shopping centers, etc.) and we will make sure they get to them...
Great idea Tom! The event is a great place to collect things.

Since we are on the subject, has there been any word of other cachers that lost their home?
Anyone heard the latest from Eric and Hill? Hill's folks lost their place in RB. See Post #12301.
Currently Hill's parents are being taken very good care of by the insurance. They are living in "Corperate aparments" for the next year or two. We have adopted their Yellow Labrador as they could not take their pets with them into the apartments. All is going well, its just going to be a couple of years before they are back in an actual house again. Here are some Before/After pictures of their home that where taken by news reporters.

Congrat to both lionhouse75 and Windymatters for going over 100 this weekend at the desert events.
Thanks for the congrats - couldn't have picked a better group or venue to reach this first milestone. 100 finds seems like small potatos amidst this crowd but gotta start somewhere, right? Thanks again to all who have helped provide information and answer questions to get us started.
Congrtatz on 100 WOO HOO!!!!

This just in....
And by morning, there was not a utility box within 20 miles of Castle Rock that did not have an ammo can magneted to it...
wut? seriously. there must be some story that goes along with this pic.
That is
The Great Cache Bandit 
, he goes from cache to cache removing ammo cans and putting shoe-boxes in their place. -
Here is a picture of My wife's (Hill's) parent's home. This is the home she grew up in.
-
It looks like my father/mother in-laws (Hill's parent's) house is gone. They are all safe but they where living in the Westwood area of rancho bernardo. They where showing clips of the neighbor hood and about 3 in 4 homes are destroyed. We are still praying for the best though.

This was part of a wash that ThePolarBear and myself came along in our journeys. Needless to say I wanted to try and go down it from above. He found the correct way to bypass without killing ourselves and we took a picture from the bottom. The picture doesn't do it justice but it was about a 50ft vertical drop from top to bottom.
And of course, for bonus points, which cache was this on the way to?

I must admit to being a bit delirious with the incredible view from where I sat down to make my trades, so I can easily see how 3x might have really been 5x...
Glad you Enjoyed it!

I just released a new Travel Bug. Keep an eye out for it at Events and around the town
-
What is it about Europeans (Spaniards and Swedes, anyway) that makes them want to rearrange the landscape???
(From the GC.com Banner Gallery...)
PFT.... I am all American baby, I am still trying to convince ThePolarBear the difference between Bread and Crackers...... They just don't get it

You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too old
To REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this. For those of
Us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on...
Who are Abbott and Costello?!?!?!
-
Now you boys put those rocks back where you found 'em...
(That'd be Table Rock with a View (GCGEFN), I believe...)
You got it!

While out caching with ThePolarBear we got an idea to hide a cache. The only problem was building the Geopile. We found some rocks that worked however!
For bonus points, where is this cache?

Iron Mountain Caches!
After our recent victory against all the Mt. Woodson caches, ThePolarBear and myself are planning to attack all of the Iron Mountain caches up in Poway this saturday. We are planning to meet at the below coordinates at 7:00am. This should be an all day adventure with about 10miles of hiking. Anyone up for the challenge is more then welcome to join. See my bookmark list with the planned caches.
Meet at the below coordinates at 7:00am 9/29/07
N 32° 58.670
W 116° 58.382
Just a friendly Reminding for Hiking fun!
Hopfully I beat this cold by tommrow!

GC15MZ2San Diego scores again! Some people (and you know who you are) will dash all the way from National City to Scripps Ranch or vice versa at 5 in the morning to get a FTF. I never seem to beat those guys to the prize, so I went farther afield -- 7000 miles farther afield -- to get the big FTF smilies! See GC15MZ2 for the scoop.Nice score!
Link above for the lazy.
D!
I liked the log just before LeoGeo's first attempt to score the FTF...
N 41° 00.829 E 028° 58.813** Coordinates Changed From **
N 41° 00.829 W 028° 58.813
Distance From Old: 15636005.2 feet
Could that be the record for "Oops, I entered the wrong coordinates..."?
Congrats, LeoGeo!
Its only 3000 miles away. Well within the GPS's error ratio. They should have just broadened their search radius.

For the last few days, I've been in Austin. While there, I was able to do some caching with my sister, Totavi. Last night, we took on a night cache named Roman Nights (GCZ1KY) (a very well done cache). As we were walking, I kept getting a glimpse of a reflector that was off the trail. I kept wondering how this reflector fit into the task at hand, and the I noticed that there was more than one reflector and that they had nothing to do with the cache. Here's a photo of what we saw...
Killer attack Llama?

So they figured they would just go through the border and turn around.
Big mistake! It took them four hours to get back because three of them didn't have any IDs/passports with them. So they missed the concert! I have done that before when I was about 19.... Ended up driving around TJ in my parents car for about 2 hours... Nothing happened but still..........

Oh there is always more to burn. Its been a few year since the Harmony Grove Fires, so they are due again.
But any who, Mt. Israel cache is still definitly accessable, but you can go no further.
