[*]It causes geocachers to bleed.
Death to all pampas grass!
I couldn't agree more. I hate the stuff and it always trys to shred me to pieces.
DIE PAMPAS GRASS!!!
But it is so pretty.......
Death I say! Its Pretty in the same way an A-Bomb is pretty. Sure I like to watch it, but do I want to go near it? No way!! which reminds me of the horrors of a certain cache.

Another entry on the banner images for one of us, this time Rocket Man (Idon't know how to do those screen capture things, so I'll just send you all to the actual log entry and image file): Look for image entitled: Dave Spotting...
Hit CTRL + PRTSCN (print screen)
That will save a picture of the screen to the clipboard, then you can copy paste to what ever picture editing program you wish.

We had too much fun this weekend not to share...Greengineer, my dad and myself went after Cetacean (Whale) cache this Saturday, and after we summited Whale Peak we came down a different ridge and noticed something shiny on the other side of the valley:
<snip>
What we were looking at was the black object that was in line with the end of the switchbacks. What was it-a shiny rock? No! After a few squints we realized it was a car. Clearly a detour was in order. After making our way around, we found this:

I think that site needs a CITO run! Just imagine 15 caches haulin' that thing back!

I'm not sure who was more surprised to have company, us or these masked bandits! We had Thunder (Thunder-4's dog) with us and you should've seen this little guy shoot up the tree!
This (not so) little guy probably didn't appreciate us interrupting his dinner...or maybe he was looking for a micro there...?
Thanks for the great pics, Randy - and kudos on being FTF!
I love those pictures, the eyes look great! The Raccoon has always been one of my favorite animals.

I was hiking in MTRP the other day when my boot broke..... I was horrified as I still had most of the day ahead of me. Luckily I was able to do a quick fix on her =)

Have a quick question for the friendly folks on this forum. I'm traveling to Russia in 3 more weeks. I'll do a tiny bit of caching close to the hotel. I'm taking extra batteries and should be Ok. Here's the question - I'm also taking my handheld Sony PSP which has an internal rechargable battery. Russia voltage is 220. The PSP is 110/220. What does that mean? Anyone who travels alot, do you know if I will be able to recharge the PSP. Thanks. Karen_in_Coronado
Yeah, you just need an adapter than you can get anywhere (Target, dept. stores, travel stores, etc.)
Or do what I do and just bring 4 pieces of wire and Mickey Mouse wire the connection up.

MTRP = Mission Trails Regional Park. It is probebly the best spot in San Diego to do some memerable caches as well as getting a lot of finds. There are about 200 caches in the park. I am still working on clearing the entire thing. Its a wonderful place.
TJ is pretty bad, I have been over there about 6 times in my life and it only gets worse each time. The worst part is police are corrupt, my little brother got all his cash and jewlery taken from one of the police officers over there for "public intoxication"

HI I've got a request for someone out there. I am from New hampshire and heading to San Diego in November for the Thanksgiving Holiday.I would love to do a few Cache's but would Love to be able to jump the border and be able to do 1 or 2 in Mexico as well while I am that close. I noticed that there are non in Mexico in that area.
I would really really appriciate it. thank you soo much.
Hide a Cache in TJ?!?!? Man that is scary. There are a few close to the boarder but you will have to go out a ways an enter from another crossing. Besides you don't want to go to TJ, bad mojo.

Call the Ranger's station before heading out to Bear Valley. It is currently closed due to fire hazard, as is Secret Canyon. There was no mention on the Cleveland National Forest website when I checked yesterday afternoon, but I saw the closures with my own two eyes.
I saw that too. Hopefully it will open with the temps dropping. I think most of the Cleveland NF is closed. Fire hazard is listed as EXTREME.
So does that mean it is going to up the Difficulty rating on the cache?

Time to go cacheing out on the coast. Weather a little bit cooler.
I spent Sunday morning caching through MTRP till it hit 100. Then I went over to Gnome Park off the 76 and finished my caching day there till it too got above 100..... Please make it stop!

While caching in MTRP this weekend I spoted the Elusive Polar Bear. Thought only to inhabit the icy north, he can occationally be found guarding caches as this one was. I knew I was close to the cache but I had to lure The Polar Bear away with some seal meat first before I could get to it.
-
I get to have some fun in the heat tommorrow as I attempt on clearing much of the MTRP caches I have left out there. I am going to carry a cache on me incase some one finds my dried out bones, at least they can log it.

Congratz to ThePolarBear for breaking 1600 while I was out n about

This is one of our building security guards at the Federal Building downtown. Looks like he got a glimpse of the photographer.
Very neat feature!
That is really cool, just think of all the work that goes into getting all that information.

T-minus six hours before the Peak-a-Boo Assault Team takes its first steps towards the Mr. Whitney Summit and its assault on this cache... Wish us luck (and, no Harmon, don't say, "Y'all gonna die!)!!
The team (minus Zatyko who joined us later):
GL guys, We finally got ThePolarBear back into some cold weather. I have a surprise waiting for you once you reach the summit!
Just got a call from ThePolarBear from the summit! Looks like they made it and didn't die! Well the trip is only half way over.
Someone was playing a Flute in the background.... I think the altitude sickness got to him
Congratulations!!!

Congrats to 'Eric and Hill' to finally reach 200 finds...
...and it *only* took 5 ½ years. Check the stats...
FYI - Eric introduced me to the wonderful world of geocaching...
Wooo Hoooo, by the year 2010 I plan to have 400!

It's still a few months away but this year's Airshow at Miramar will not feature (for the first time in a bazillion years) the Blue Angels. Instead, the Thunderbirds will be paying an extremely rare visit to San Diego!
That's crazy, I just looked it up and they Blue Angels have flown in the air show for 51 years straight. Working right next to the air base its nice to just watch out the window and see the free show.

On Sunday, July 1st @ 10:00 am, I'm going to do the Scuba Steve's caches with Eric from 'Eric and Hill'.
We'll start with Scuba Steve's First Time (Revised) (GCVGCH) and move on to Scuba Steve's Pass the Grass (GCWK2W), ending with Scuba Steve's Kiddie Pool (Revised) (GCVHM0).
If anybody would like to join us (including non-swimmers), meet us at the parking lot by Scuba Steve's First Time by 10:00 am.
Who knows, I might be able to grab a seal for BBQ afterwards - I'm a Polar Bear
Don't forget we are also going to try and hit up "atoll-ya-so" as well, if our arms and legs are not eaten by barracudas by then. But this one would have to be swimmers only as we will be swimming to the island.
