FWIW, I didn't lose any
Ding! Ding! Ding! REO is correct!
I still have my Tuna logs!
Mine is down three. I didn't have any duplicates. I wonder how we can find out which ones disappeared?Anyone else notice a drop in their find count?TA
Chuy!'s probably stealing smileys to make up for the ones that Tuna deleted...
Did you know that you can "tune a piano but you can't tuna fish?" 
Name that group for extra bonus points!
REO Speedwagon? Our count is down three also...
I am really curious as to what happened to 3 of our finds......

Maybe if Cat paints the socks first and post a preview of that?*****CAMPOUT UPDATE*********
We now have our 'official' campout logo on t-shirts, cups, thongs...etc....thanks to Caching Widow who
generously used her talents to design it for us!! Go to the campout page.....GC15J5X and click on the
CafePress link and shop away!! There is one rule however..........anybody that purchases the 'thong' will be required to model it at the campfire!
Johaodi has 'volunteered' to take over the dessert contest! She has some great ideas on the judging
catagories, it will be fun and very YUMMY! The desserts were a huge hit last year, I don't think there
was a crumb left it was soooooo good! So, think about what you want to whip up and bring it with
you. We will have neat prizes.......or maybe ca$h! Contact Jodi if you have any ???.
We also will be having a SUPER grand prize for the raffle. It is something very special made by
one of our cachers that you will all like and most will identify with it.
Hints may follow later............
Questions.......just e-mail or call any of us........we may not have the answers, but we'd love to hear from you! We're just a little over a month to go.......Yahoo
The Splashes
You guys rock!
I hereby volunteer my services as a chili judge; I have two years experience
Olivia! would like to volunteer for the dessert judging.
WARNING: I'm going to have a hissy-fit if I don't receive a preview photo or two of the grand prize.
Harmon
So, Harmon, just what will you look like if you have a "hissy-fit"?

Hey, maybe the Unbunched Sock Police can expand their skill set!
Are we going to have an underwear party around the fire or something?We now have our 'official' campout logo on t-shirts, cups, thongs...etc....thanks to Caching Widow whogenerously used her talents to design it for us!! Go to the campout page.....GC15J5X and click on the

I went to the website. I see that you can order boxers but I didn't see the thong
I can see Fattboy being the first one at the campfire...

I hate when this thread goes to a new page and I don't get the first whine on the new page..
-
Well, that's a thread-kill if I ever saw one!Back to whining.
I hate it when people put golf balls in caches.
Guilty. I put them in if I find 'em on the way to the cache, and there's room for it, and the ball is in decent condition.
I hate it when people whine
- and I'm a big whiner! . Chuy, how many times have I told you...
-
Actually they are in there for a good reason - the titanium core and the dimpled surface confounds the GPS satellite signals, making for a more challenging find - didn't you know that? Just be glad there are only one or two in that ammo can...
Why?Back to whining.I hate it when people put golf balls in caches.

I love this stuff but I don't have photoshopHarmon posted that new lesson and a bunch of people said they were interested but hardly anybody posted any geocaching photos applying the lesson. So it would be cool if some of you could do that otherwise Harmon may not make any more lessons..... ... or time ... but I just want to add my appreciation for the lessons!

Well, obviously you need a faster car!Nobody will let me pass them on the Top Fifty TB List. ... and I try hard too.... and I'm an old man, wouldn't you think people would be nice to me?
-
Don't forget to check out the new, improved ~ The SDCET TOP *50* TB
. If you see it in person, feel free to "discover" it! Please let me know if I've left anyone out (sorry for everyone else with "only" 1370 finds or less - that's all I could fit in the description. ). -
Does this involve shtomping on ghrapes?Just a thread created for folks that feel the need to whine about something. No specific topic needed but just the need to whine. Feel free to post here.

I can think of several reasons to do that actually, for example:I've noticed a few cachers sometimes replace their muggled caches with a brand new cache with a new number, rather than just replacing their old cache. What do you guys think of that? Here I am, opinionated Ron, stating my opinion for one such cache:http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...0b-1b02c15f88cb
From the previous logs, no one made a negative comment at all, so I presume this is considered perfectly fine and normal.
Despite my post and log I'm really not that bothered by it, just a little. But I suppose there's nothing I can do about it, just like a recent rash of nuisance urban caches!
- New cache type (we changed a multi to a traditional in the same spot)
- New cache theme (maybe the hider had a falling out with the person the earlier cache was named after )
- Cleverer cache (ie lame film canister to super camo'd fake tree trunk)
What annoyed me one time was when someone moved a cache that I'd found far away from where I found it (more than a mile). I'd have liked to have found the "new" one but couldn't since I'd already "found" it in the old location.
I doubt that happens much either. - New cache type (we changed a multi to a traditional in the same spot)

If you can believe this forecast, which I'm having a hard time doing, we're going to have highs in the 70's the rest of the week. 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!
-
Isn't the GPSr enough?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.Make sure you leave some $$$ in your pocket as a FTF prize!
-
Or you can sign mine! I probably don't even have to ask!
I'm sure I'll be racing around in the Jeep all over the east county (35+-miles from home) looking for 11 more of those "Historic" caches...Hey . . . how come this thread dropped halfway down the page? What happened to all the verbose San Diego Cachers? 
What is everybody doing over the weekend? Is anything going on?
As long as you are visiting those caches anyway, would you mind signing my name in the log book?
-
Ah, very tempting - I like REI's warranty! But.. I'd have to get new maps, won't I? (have CS now)
In case anyone's in the market for a GPSr I saw a Garmin Map60CSX on sale at REI for $299.....what a deal...we paid over $400 when it first came out...
-
Butting in?! Congrats on the 2500th Banter post!!Pardon me for butting in here, I'm not sure which thread to post this on, but here goes!...
Thanks for this interruption, you may return to normal posting!
On edit: err, 2501 - but the first of the new page!

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.
Looks like mainly a lot of driving around in a van with a 360 degree camera on the roof - here's a glimpse of it on Miramar Rd
-
I don't know if anyone has mentioned that Google Maps now has "Street View" for San Diego. Now you can look for those drive up caches from home!
-
WOULD YOU LOG THIS CACHE?
Heh - here's my take (if only to validate SDCET adventures): if you were at the cache site, and you saw the cache, and your name ended up in the log book, then you can log it online.

The Edwards landing opportunity is at 12:49 Pm PDT, with the deorbit-burn occurring at 11:43 AM PDT. This should mean that the shuttle will pass right over the coast of California at about Encinitas about 12:30ish or so.
Wow, that's great! Since I'm in Encinitas, I will look for it! How did you come up with 12:30?
Well...it's a guesstimate. Landing is at 12:49 and so I figure that by being outdoors about 20 minutes prior to touchdown you guarantee yourself the opportunity of seeing/hearing it. It probably will be a little after 12:30 when it goes overhead, but get out a little early just to be sure. The shuttle won't go sub-sonic until about 5 minutes before touchdown somewhere over Palmdale.
RocketMan would probably be able to give you an exact time and location when it crosses the coast. I'm just going on the fact that it'll be going maybe Mach 2 and be about 10-15 minutes from touchdown when it hits the coast.
It is currently 45 minutes from landing, and about 12 minutes before it enters the atmosphere (~ 80 miles in altitude)

Couldn't spot it with my nekkid eyes, but heard the sonic booms!

Wow, that's neat - what elevation exaggeration and terrain quality do you have Google Earth set to?Ohh it was quite the day and the Google shots lived up to my expectations:
