I don't know about anyone else, but, I am keeping up with my stops for "potential terrorist activity" on my profile. Got one so far... Of course, the good old days are over, we just pulled into a driveway to check driving directions, and didn't think anything about it being fortified like FORT KNOX! So, to make it short and sweet, don't check your directions at a WATER TREATMENT PLANT, no matter how interesting you think the sculpture out front looks! When the two police cars go by, one of them WILL follow you and pull you over.... eventually... But, not to worry, he will let you go to check out the call of suspicious activity on the bridge a few miles over, um... do you think that was us???? Well, we WERE just looking for a cache near a bridge... and um.... that one at the cemetary behind the AIRPORT! Wellllllllll, I DID get a yellow Jeep TB out of it

I am waiting for Groundspeak to break out the Geobabe sticker, I am gonna get one the second they do!

Nope, but he can knock the eye out of a pig at 200 yards, which generally makes them squeal a bit just before dying. I won't say what county I was in in Alabama, but, I was going for a cache at an abandoned mill last week and drove up on a house that creeped me out really bad, I was on my own and the guys on the porch acted like they hadn't seen a female since 1976. Just in case you are curious, a full sized Chevy Truck CAN and WILL do a donut in the middle of a one lane dirt road/pig trail and still be drivable. How much foliage you take out is up to you. Daisy Duke ain't got nothin on me. I hate like heck to perpetuate a sterotype, but, they freaked me out. I could have sworn I heard a banjo! LOL, I am laughin now, but, I wasn't then!

It's cool.. I guess my point is that there is another kind of deadbeat, imho. Starrione

I personally don't see anything wrong with this. If that cacher can move a bug along (which is what bugs generally are supposed to do) then that is good. It's no different if you drove 300 miles to get a bug and someone else drove 300 miles from the other direction and got there first. It's a game of timing and location. Do you think other cachers should be mad at you if you showed up at a cache and grabbed a bug they drove 300 miles to get? Just enjoy the drive, enjoy the hunt, and enjoy the cache. That's really what the game is about, right? I don't think you understand what I am talking about. The Cache Owner is taking the TB's out whenever one shows up. Not driving there to get it, I am talking about the owner of a cache monitoring it for the TB's alone instead of letting the next visitor pick it up. Of course I wouldn't be mad if someone drove there and got it before me, it happens all the time. Starrione

Found a Pregnancy Test in one just yesterday.... swear to God!! Thank God it was unused.... Actually, when I think about the contents of that cache it was kinda like... I just broke up with my boyfriend and cleaned out his truck and here's all his stuff and WHEW! boy do I feel better Cache... found some contraband items too. But, in the South, a pocket knife doesn't really count as a weapon, it is a fingernail cleaner-out-from-under-er. Starrione

Another kind of deadbeat I hate is the Cacher who monitors for TB's in caches they made, then picks up the TB to move at his or her discretion. This has happened to me several times and I find irritating and annoying and rude. You drive 300 miles to stay in an area and get to know it and do some caching. Only to discover that the incentive to visit a few caches is gone. I tend to visit ones with TB's when I would have visited a cache in a historical locale first. I do enjoy the history and beauty of many cache locations, but, TB's are an incentive to me too.. I admit I am new to this, and still learning, but, I find this a most irritating habit. One person on the East side of Alabama has a very bad habit of doing this, and I keep up with the logs of these sites. I see this is happening to others too. It's irritating! There aren't alot of TB's in my native area and I would like to offer them as an incentive. Am I wrong? Starrione

3000 Years of Celtic programming is NOT lost on me, I still look around for "little people" for some strange reason when I am in the woods... It's not MY fault, it's my parents...

REM's - "Can't get there from here" comes to mind right off the bat for some strange reason... But, I highly recommend the OST to Cowboy Bebop anime series, something about that starting music and imagining yourself in a tricked out '76 Thunderbird... Then on the way home pop in the 2nd of the OST series. It just seemed to make it work. Just bring extra cigarettes...
