  1. I post mine to Travel Bug Graveyard. It adds some miles to your bug, but for some reason, if it ever does show up again, you can place it somewhere and continue on.
  2. I just want to say thanks for all the nice emails and kind words over the past few weeks and also thanks for all the travel bugs too. I received 7 TB's and a WG$1. The owners want either the TBs logged at a cache in Iraq and returned, or logged and left to travel. I was also able to grab 1 YJTB which I will also release, as well as a GeoCoin which is in the mail. Thanks everyone and... God Bless America!!
  3. There was a forum recently on witness trees or something like that. The poster logged how it was done step by step. It was a pretty interesting series of pictures.
  4. This is an awesome website, and I just want to thank you for the hard work you obviously have put into it.
  5. I remember this being addressed earlier, so do a search. I would recommend Cathedral Ledge outside of North Conway, NH. You dont need to do the climb (you can drive to the top), but if you wanted to climb, it is straight up for over 500'.
  6. That is ridiculous. What did they think you were going to do? Call in an airstrike?
  7. Welcome to my nightmare!
  8. I would be interested in the website when up and running. Keep us posted please.
  9. Check my post out from take it back. "I work on Active Duty for the Vermont Army National Guard and sometimes search for caches while in uniform (I just cant help it). Going up to work at Camp Johnson in Colchester on Friday, I figured I would stop by and get a "find" for both the nearby BM and the cache. I drive by it every day, but just couldnt stop for one reason or another. Today was the day though. Not many cars, so I start the walk up the trails to get the BM first. While climbing up, someone was coming down the trail (at about 0800hrs). By the way, I stumbled across the "mother-lode" of off-lable activities further up also. I searched half-heartedly for the BM to no avail, and as I was coming back down, the gentlemen whom I saw earlier (looking just a little scared) was walking briskly back up the trail towards me. "I found something...something military. I dont know what it is, but I did not want to go near it." Dont forget I was in uniform with my GPSr and I knew at once that he found the cache and I would get credit for the easiet find ever recorded. "Show me," I said. He lead me right to it but would not go near it. I couldnt play the game any longer so I explained to him what he found. His look went from frantic to complete embarrassment in about 2 seconds. He actually thought it was a Al-Queda bomb plot and I was in the woods looking to uncover the ammo can. Uh no, sounds good, but not the case. He thanked me for all the hard work we in uniform do, quickly, and I mean quickly left and drove away. I recovered the cache (might want to move it). TNLNSL."
  10. This weekend I pulled over at the rest stop cache on I90 in New York. I saw footprints going in the general direction of the cache in the snow and thought this was going to be a quick find. I followed the footprints only to find they ended with what I would categorize as a LOT of yellow snow.
  11. ArtMan I will upload a photo of PG1665 next week when I get home. It is right around the corner from my house. It is nothing special.
  12. I did the same thing with RandMan while out in Phoenix last fall! They are few and far between that is for sure.
  13. I would travel a considerable distance for worthwhile marks...FTF...19th century marks. Normal, or more conspicuous marks, I would travel less. I traveled over 3 hours last year for a Meet and Greet in Pheonix, AZ from Sierra Vista and back after it was done, so I am up for just about anything.
  14. I had (past tense) one ready to go for warmer weather, but I am getting deployed to warmer weather far from home, so I put it to rest. I will place it as soon as i get back though.
  15. Just bringing this to the top of the forums for anyone who hasn't seen this post.
  16. Sending off all pertinent information to Deb Brown.
  17. Thanks ArtMan for the FYI. I was wondering when they were going to do it.
  18. I gotta remember never to hide a cache in my parents backyard. Every pet we ever had is buried there (including Aunt's cats). Dogs (5), cats (4), birds (2), gerbils (6), even an iguana is back there. Whoever buys the house in a hundred years and digs back there is gonna think a slaughter happened!
  19. You should have logged the coordinates and turned it into a cache. Take something, leave nothing.
