I have plantar ficitis in my right foot. Tried New Balance sneakers and they made it hurt worse. Believe it or not the Land's End all weather mocs at $29 made all the pain go away. I rarely have problems with that foot anymore unless I'm on my feet a lot and not wearing those shoes. I plan to try LL Bean's version of Birkies sandles for the summer. Hope they work because the all weather mocs are too hot for summer in TN.

I'll start by derailing this derailed train and requesting that we talk about donuts again...
How about cake instead of donuts? I just took a butterscotch pound cake out of the oven. This house sure does smell good

No, the rock seems to be made from shaped fiberglass cloth and resins. It's very sturdy; you can actually stand on it. I just hope it doesn't go missing. We got a deal on it, a manufacturer had shipped it to the garden store as a demo to try and sell, but the manager thought it was too expensive. We found it kind of sitting on a self in the back of the store and the manager said he's sell it to us for $10. It's one of the most realistic I have seen. Our cache, although in the open, is well hidden.
Thanks......you most definitely got a deal. The rocks I've been seeing that are that size are very expensive!
I like the gas fireplace log idea too.

She didn't stop to take a picture of it.
I wouldn't have either! In fact, I don't think my feet would have been touching the ground.

Here is my fake rock. I can't take the credit for making it though, I bought it at a garden store.
Hmmm....the garden store? Is it wooden? brain is ticking away with evil ideas It's very real looking in the picture. I couldn't tell which one was fake until the 2nd shot.

When you go into Home Depot and see a clearance shelf and scan every object to see if it could be used for anything to do with geocaching!
HAHAHA...Did that at walmart last night!!!
I did that at Target today. Walked out with 4 caribeaners, some hand warmers and a keychain thermometer.
"walked out?" i hope you paid for them first.
*giggle* .... yes, I paid for them. Not paying for them would have interfeared with my cache time as I don't think any are hidden on jail house property

We found out about 3 weeks ago all about poison ivy. Nothing here was blooming yet. Barely any buds on the trees so poison ivy never even crossed our minds. Won't make that mistake again. My 14 yr. old daughter had the worst case I'd even personally seen all over the right side of her face. It was swollen twice it's normal size, all red and purple, eye swollen shut. Poor thing was miserable and nothing was making it feel better. Finally made a trip to the doctor. She got a shot, a script for Prednizone and he recommend an over the counter wash called Domeboro. It's granuals that you mix with water and pat onto the affected area. It really helps dry up the blisters along with easing the itching.
Now that I know what it looks like and that it never really goes dormant I've noticed it everywhere. I had no idea TN was so covered up in it.
This thread offered some great information to help prevent it from happening again. Thanks for that. Both vehicles will now have a bottle of rubbing alcohol in them. We already make sure we have long sleeves, long pants and boots on regardless of the weather because of ticks. Ivy is another reason to wear this protective clothing. I've also heard that you can spray exposed skin with deodarant before heading into the woods and that would help keep the oils off. Don't know if this really works but it's certainly worth a try.

I've been lurking for a couple of months. Mostly I've been reading the forums to gain more knowledge of the sport. My husband, 14 year old daughter and I began caching a couple of months ago and we're totally hooked. We live in middle Tennessee.

(CKelly here) This Geo caching has been so much fun and like others said has given me and PapaGeorgia something to do together..I am female and not a nerd or geek.. I love the outdoors..I bought PapaGeorgia a Magellan 310 from a fellow cacher this past Christmas. I didn't know if PapaGeorgia would even be interested but he has taken to it and loves the sport..I will be eternally grateful to my friend (Oat) for helping us get started in this sport..In March we bought a SportTrac Map by Magellan and we now take both Gps with us..
Don't I know you?
I'm female and I cache with my husband and 14 year old daughter. We're new at this and became hooked immediately. I guess I would classify myself as "outdoorsy" as I used to hike a great deal and we all love to camp. I think this is a great way to spend quality family time together, get outside and get some exercise and expore areas that normally we would never think to go. Looking forward to this for many years to come.
