  1. My husband is on alot of mecications, consequently we have ALOT of pill bottles sitting around. Big ones, little ones, medium size ones; all collecting dust in our bathroom. I'm loathe to just throw them out, and he keeps them for storing candy in. I won't get into the problems with a diabetic keeping candy in old pill bottles. Anyhoo... Could I wash these and use them as a cache container? I think I'm finally ready to place one and I'm looking into an inexpensive water-resistant container and if I can get one free, all the better.

  2. We have an event this Saturday along the river which has some great Eagle watching spots and a really good place to eat. Details are at - http://coord.info/GC1JYR9

     

    Awesome place to take pics too!

    Thanks! My boss changed my schedule just in time for this, so I can't make it. :unsure: It always works out that way for me. Hopefully I'll get to come to some events soon. I made the run today and got 6 of 12. My son and I got lost in Pierre Marquette or we could have got a couple more. It went something like this...

    "Mommy, did you mark the car?...... Mommy?"

  3. I'd like to find someone to go caching with. More eyes are better than just my two. But I feel strange asking this of people I've never met. I know I should just buckle down and do it... But again with the feeling strange. How can I get over this...

  4. Regular

    Traditional

    Earth

    All alone :) Hubby doesn't want to play.

    Only hiding so far

    Uhhh...

    Never played either, though I bet Wherigo would be fun once I upgrade

    Cheap and easy

    I bet it'd be fun to socialize and cache at the same time

    I'm too slow.

    Not. Why waste precious podspace?

    Both once I get going. Or I happen to be in another state.

    Layed back

    Whatever I find. Not too many rurals around here.

  5. Nah, February's already spoken for. As a Bi-sexual, married, Pagan, geocaching, knitting, hobby photographer, thrill-seeking, closet race-car driver wannabe, half-breed mother of two boys, I'd like to propose that all like minded persons (whether they were born girls or not) claim the third thursday of April as thier own. ;) I'm looking for a geocaching partner, too, but I'm only part lesbian and I don't live in Alabama. Personally I'd setle for anyone who's not hateful, nor a letch and is just as excited about Geocaching as me. Or more. I'd take that. St. Louis Metro East! (waves to Stephen across the river)

  6. I was wondering what the average was for strike-outs before asking for help. I'm pretty persistant about doing thigs myself and I've been pretty lucky so far. There's a couple caches nearby that are proving difficult. One of them seems relatively easy when concidering the posts, the other seems particularly difficult. Since #1 son is with his Nana tomorrow, I was gonna make a run at them since they're along a bike path and I can sling the bitty one. It'll be third strike on both if I miss them again. The easy one's a 1 1/2 difficulty, the hard one's a 3. How many times do you try before asking for a bone?

  7. I just changed computers, and can't upload pics yet but here's what's in my bag.., Not nearly as interesting as you all...

    A notebook with a bunch of local caches since my printer insists on dying every other day

    My Garmin80 MIL

    My Camera

    A few spare pens

    Earrings and various other sparklies for swag

    A travel bug whose mission I need to complete.

     

    Of course, I'm just getting started, so it's pretty sparse.

  8. Or.. What if I'm laying in bed, and a tree falls thru my roof and smashes me? Life's too short to worry about random things. I'm sure it's happened before, I'm sure it will happen again. But the chances are so infantesimal as to be impossible. You've a much better chance of beinh hit by a car whilst in your diveway gathering the morning paper.

  9. What we need here is a smiley wth a bag over its head (kinda embarrased I don't know )... I'm assuming that secatures are what I've heard galled "hedge clippers" over here. Kinda scary big scissors (razor sharp rusty blade and bits of dirt optional)? Sounds like a good idea to keep in a bag, but you'll fail your "Pass without trace" roll..... Now I just need a way to keep the varrious versions of the burr out of my hair.

  10. "I collect spores molds and fungus."

    Or.. (with varying degrees of insanity on my face) "I'm gonna be the morrel queen of Southern Illinois!"

    I've not run into any muggles though. I'm still pretty new at this, and it's hard with a newborn. I'd bundle him up and toss him in the sling but I'll admit... I'm a little lazy

  11. Well, being a big dork, I plugged these into Google Maps. Turns out, they're about 2K apart (in a straight line) and 3.2 k apart in real travel. ONe point seems to ba a house, another seems to be the side of the road. Probably what happened was you mis-entered, or switched some numbers around. Even if you accidentally set the cache location as home, it shouldn't read "HERE" unless you are at that location. You probably put in your home number accientally. I've done it. No biggie.

  12. ...he had real trouble understanding the concept, even the concept of finding a location using GPS! He seemed rather worried that locations could be posted on the internet for others to see!

    :cute::)

    I'm a little floored. What? He's been policing the bottom side of a rock for the past 15 years? Luckily I haven't had any run-ins with the police yet.

  13. You don't need a gpsr to play, but it makes life sooo much simpler. I found my first few caches with only a knowledge of the area and a google satelite map. "Oh, it's on the east side of the lake, in the middle of that side. There's a drainage whatsis over there, so that's where I'll start my search..." Back before the button was pushed, they taught us this stuff in high school earth science. Good luck out there!
