    Did You Leave Something Forgotten After Caching?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted · Edited by Thea101

    Lost my cell phone caching Welcome Having at least two DNF's prior, we decided to try this on our way back to the family's vaction house...after another unsuccessful attempt and our dog we gave up and got in the car only to get home and realize no cell phone...so back in the car and to the cache site...

     

    We looked around but since I had the dog, the phone could have been anywhere...after a few minutes my boyfriend decided to call it and we followed its ring until we found it in the grass...at around midnight....

     

    On another successful lost and found...last weekend we decided to try DPM: The World's Easiest Puzzle Cache

     

    We thought we had this one figured out and hiked up a mountian the hard way (finding the path after we had made it to the top) when my 13 sister yelled..."this has got to be the spot, because I found a GPS."

     

    A little perplexed, we decided to take the GPS...didnt want anyone to find it and would figure out who it belonged to...looked everywhere for the cache with no luck...so we left...came back the next day and after another 2 hours found the cache, nowhere near we were found the gps or had been looking...

     

    After looging the find, I got an e-mail in my box from a geocaher asking if we had found a gps...we e-mailed back and forth and I returned his gps to him a couple days ago...

     

    He told me that he and his wife have been caching for two years...they never lost anything...but that weekend his wife had lost her cell phone and he lost the gps...the cell phone was also returned by a fellow geocacher...

     

    It is good to know that people in this community can be so helpful and honest...hearing other people people's stories of how they lost something and it was returned by geocacher is IMO, a testiment to how great this community can be!!! :lol:

    Counting the minutes until I can get out of work, I have nothing better then to throw my two cents in...

     

    Consider me part of the brain damaged group....though I like to consider myself right-brained...

     

    Right hand: Writing, Cutting...

    Left Hand: Batting, golfing, throwing, eating (yes I am among the elite group of people that do not cut thier food with their knife in their right hand...then put the knife down to pick up the fork with thier right hand so they can eat their food...this skill alone makes LEFTIES more superior) shooting, kicking, and pretty much everything else that you do with your hands :)

     

    ...so I may be brain damaged...but I like to consider my self right-brained...and sinsiter... :unsure:

    The Distance: A Different Kind Of Tb Race...

    I will be more then willing to have a "distance cache" in the Southeastern NY/Northern NJ...not to far outside of NYC...

     

    As others have said, I am still not quiet sure if I get the whole idea or not...but I have no doubt that your entire plan is laid out perfectly....after reading about "Quantum Leap"...there is no doubt in my mind Snoogans, that you have this one figured out down to the last detail...wow!!! Amazing job with "Quantum Leap"...

     

    Anyway, back on topic...count me in...sounds like a lot of fun!!! :unsure:

    A Mobile Cache?

    in General geocaching topics

    We have one in our region that I believe started out west...

     

    here is the link

     

    http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...4b-96f2c0d276c4

     

    it is very hard to get your hands on it, because as soon as it becomes active (the cache owner makes it temporarily unavaiable as soon as someone reports finding it...and does not make it available again unitl the current cacher hides it...) with its new coordinates most people try to get there hands on it....

     

    It did start in 2002 so it could be before new rules...but from what I have seen it is quite a popular cache... :unsure:

     

    Good Luck in trying to get one started...if you can

    Help!!! Need A Cache In Paris, Milan, Or Lucerne

    in All Nations

    Thanks all for your suggestions and help...just to let you all know...the travel bug is in Switzerland... TMWolfe6 (my father who went to Europe on business and was kind enough to take the TB) did not finish his work in Paris until after dark...so on his was to Switzerland from Italy went with a co-worker (and new cacher...hopefully) on a side trip to Area Ticino (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=9ffbd9ee-2da9-4092-ac4c-28cc019ace16) and left him there...Expolorer TB still has a way to go to get to his goal of France...but at least he is over the Atlantic and one step closer....

     

    Again...thank you so much...all of you...especially Laogoi and IntotheWoods...for all your help and suggestions....the bug owners (K-9Cachers) are so excited as am I....it is nice to see the Geocaching community help when in need.... :D

    :rolleyes: So wrapped up telling about the people in the woods I left out the geocaching part....actually....we came within 300 feet of the cache and searched for a while and then realized that it was at the top of the mountain and we were at the bottom...so we came back the next day and got the cache....success.... :D

     

    Acutally want we really wanted to do was get a good look at the guy....so dressed we wondered if it was a politician....now that would have been a picture for the tabloids.... :D

    Yes...to plainly answer the Question...Nyack Beach State Park in New York...nearest cache is waypoint GC2489 (Rocky Hudson Cache)...anyway myself sister, cousin, and best friend were hiking around winding our way up the mountain on a clearly defined path when I noticed legs with hands prutruding out from the hips which were attached to a body leaning against a tree, my sister and best friend only noticed legs...but my cousin noticed the hands on the hips....after some glances between us...and my sister saying "what? what?" I delcared that the man against the tree was getting some...so to speak....well I thought my sister was going to die right there on the trail...and my cousin and I lost it laughing hysterically...my sister wanted to leave, my cousin and I wanted to press on...so we kept going and some how ended up closer to the happy couple...who at this point we determined were dressed more for a expensive night out on the town then the woods...when my cousin loudly proclaims...look at them now...well that is when my sister all but bloted down the mountain, follwoed by my best friend laughing...my cousin and I were like...screw it (no pun intended)...just because they think they are off the beaten path does not mean our caching plans are halted...I all but bit through my lip holding back "get a room"...we finished our scan of the area...and when we left...well just say that the female of the pair was bent over a rock in an interesting sort of way...and the male of the pair could have cared less...he was going to finish what he started...

     

    and in case your wondering...my sister...she doesn't hesistate to tell people about "this one time while geocaching..." :rolleyes:
