  1. Almost 12 years for me and I enjoy the game as much if not more now! I've met some wonderful people and found many exciting and varied caches in places I might never have been and in places I pass every day. I'm happy to find one cache in a new area or when I come across an old cache along a new power trail. I've had days when I've found more caches in a day than I found the first 3 years I was caching! I thank each and every cache owner for all the fun I have playing this game.

  2. Some Alabama dude has been seen in CA.

    This just in ...

    My gosh, the father of the "This just in ..." is in

    town and on the trail. How did I miss out? O yeah,

    Jeep or FJ t' qualify, I get it.

     

    Good on you guys for hooking East Mesa into the Noble

    Canyon area. That's been on my list to do for some

    time.

     

    How nice it is to see the ol' boy from Alabama return

    to San Diego. From the photos it seems that you still

    have a full set of front teeth ... don't that set you

    apart from others when y' venture into th' 'bama

    piney-woods?

     

    Flatulent Fathers, yeppur, Alabama through and through.

     

    So it goes,

    Sweet ol' Harmon

     

    Note to Self: Of course I had t' fix their friggin photo.

    Second thought, you guys reminded me of the good old days

    of San Diego Geocaching.

    Here's another useful medication

     

    Those were the days my friends ...

    Any more photos from this event? I was there but not in this photo!!

  3. The Thirsty Ladies will be up when the weather is right!! I like smaller loops or a 2 car through trail myself. Wishing there was a way from GC3D446 to the road!!

     

    Looking forward to your trails asap.

    O, so now I see how it is.

     

    Here it is Saturday and not a single log

    entry on my latest CRSP hides. I suppose

    my "pals" have better things to do other

    than worry about an ol' man's meager

    offering.

    Grumble, grumble,

    Poor ol' Harmon

  4. Ooh, got to go and have a look now. (Can't see any information/link from your profile or geocache history, Mrs. B. There is no linky. maybe that will turn out to be a good thing all round! :laughing::ph34r: )

     

    You're right: Although the challenge is listed there on our tab "Geocaches Found" there doesn't seem to be any way to provide a link to our (my) log and photograph of me kissing a frog. Hmmmm. You could be right... That may be a good thing ;)

     

    As for it being "utter trash", I'm prepared to wait and see how it all develops over the next few weeks. The experience of having to find a suitably compliant frog to kiss, taking a photograph, uploading it and writing a brief comment log was marginally more interesting than finding some film pot in an un-inspiring location and trying to sign the obligatory damp log strip.

     

    MrsB

    I dId the frog kissing too as I have a frog tb and as a frog is a gc mascot but it appears to have been archived, voted off by the community, not sure if I'll bother again:(

    WOTW Hide

     

    No-one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No-one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets. And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes; and slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against us.

     

    Jeff Waynes WOTW is one of my favourites!

  6. The ones that have the "stealth required" attribute when you have to climb on something to get the cache and where there's absolutely no possible way anyone who did walk past wouldn't figure you were doing something very unusual indeed.

    Must have one near a house with barking dogs!

  7. Female here! I do all the cache planning, logging and forum viewing. Mr SH likes to hike so I have to choose my caches with care, not too many or too close together! He likes to choose where we go and then I find if there are any caches there. He more often makes the find even without the GPS and prefers to use maps. Something that annoys me a bit is at events people assume that he is the cacher!

  8. Trixxie and I were only thinking about Carl while up on Cowles Mountain on Thursday! We found Vista del Cegrube's Casa

     

    http://coord.info/GCVETA among others. Very sad news.

    GRUBERT, CARL ERNEST 1942 to 2011 Born in Illinois. Family moved to San Diego in 1949 where Carl remained until his death. He married Stella Elena in 1964. Two children were born of their union. Carl served proudly in the military. He worked over 33 years for Pac Bell, never missing a day of work due to illness, and completed his college education during that time. Carl started at Pac Bell as a linesman and worked his way up to engineer, while going to school and raising a family. Carl was a fitness fanatic before a "healthy life style" became popular. He was known for his incredible endurance in running, biking, hiking, fishing, and geocaching, etc. Anything that involved physical activity. Carl just finished his last marathon, crossing the finish line in Heaven. Carl is survived by his beloved wife, Stella; son, Carl (Ashley); daughter, Laura (Jim); sister, Carleen (George), and two grandchildren, Joseph Street and Ariel Grubert, and large extended family. Memorial services will be held on March 26, 2011 at Del Cerro Baptist Church, 5512 Pennsylvania Lane, La Mesa, California, beginning at 3:00 p.m. In lieu of floral arrangements, please send donations to the American Cancer Society or the American Diabetes Association .

    The last time I saw Carl he had found a pair of my sunglasses that I had left at some cache somewhere, and we met up for a FTF hunt in MTRP. He was still very strong but told me about some health issues with his legs. RIP, General. We will miss you!!

    My good friend and able adversary from the

    MTRP Cache War of 2006. Bless and keep him.

     

    SAD SO VERY SAD! He was a good person, I enjoyed racing him to FTF caches all hours of the day!

  9. This just in ...

     

    The appliance guys

     

    Honk if you know where this is.

    Honkity, honk, honk, honk!! Good on ya, Harmon, for doing the full monte out there!! That hike almost killed me!! And you didn't even warn me this time!! :rolleyes:

     

    It looks like it almost killed Harmon too. <_<

    Let me say it this way ... I slept in this morning.

    However, I'm up now and doing my manly-man chores.

     

    Thing is that Mother Nature made the steps too tall

    going up through the bouldering section. Trying to

    keep pace with Joe and John made a difference as well.

     

    Made me feel good to read that a renowned high-country

    hiker, namely FlagMan, had some pain doing that last

    section of the climb.

     

    We've been Chuyed! ... that's all there is to it. Truth

    is I had a delightful day along that high trail with my

    pals Joe and John.

    Note to Self: Wonder what's holding others back from this hike?

    Snakes seem to be a recurring theme this month. I think I'm done with finding snakes near caches already this year.

  10. Hi guys

     

     

    I'm considering trying to do the ET highway cache trail in the summer - would be great to do this as a small group to share costs and experiences etc. Would anyone out there be interested In this?

     

    Drop me an email/ reply to discuss further

     

    Claire

     

    Ps I'm from the uk and am looking early August

     

    Being from the UK myself I second The Fat Cats advise, it would be very hot then!! Congrats on your first cache which I just happen to have on my 'watch' list!

    If you do come over, San Diego can be very nice in August and we have a great variety of caches here! Still too hot to do strenuous hikes though!

  11. Today (February 1st) is my 10th anniversary geocaching! :D My very first find was Powder Can Cache in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Unfortunately, it was a casualty to the park's no cache policy and was removed. It would have been nice to revisit it today.

     

    Just wanted to take a moment and say thanks to geocaching.com and to all my "geobuddies" for a great ten years! :)

     

    Jim/W9JIM

    Happy Anniversary! We were at that first SD event at Islands! Here's to the next ten years!! I wonder what changes we shall see!
