Try Project APE's Mission 9: Tunnel of Light. I am going to do this this fall when I have to travel to Seattle.

VAGUE. Vermont Area Geocachers United Everywhere. I just joined, but I know a lot of the members from reading the logs of caches in my area. This is a nice site.

I am actually pretty busy this week, how bout in the coming weeks?

I dont know if it was the way it was previously explained, or my mood at the time, but I was definately not interested and stated some reasons. Now, I am not too sure. Direct interaction with NGS would definately be an incentive. I would not report for prizes, but because it is the right thing to do, but recognition does have its bonuses. I am involved in The National Map Project, and am VERY impressed with the speed of responses - both to desires, and questions. I do not doubt that NGS would be the same. Here's to a wonderful friendship together!! Count me in! Disregard any negative statements I have made to the contrary. I will start emailing any and all finds/DNF/destroyed marks that warrant it this week!

Not a bad idea at all. Bookmarked the site. Thanks for the plug.

Thanks CallawayMT. I really think that is pretty cool. Thanks for the visual, it added a lot.

That is an awesome site GEOBC. I love it. I saved it for future reference. Might need it for the Grand Canyon trip I am taking this Summer!

I have only been approached by one other cacher (actually the wife of a local cacher) that happened upon me when I was up to my arms in a potted plant in a busy mall looking for a log book for her husband's cache. My wife was with me, and she and the Mrs. Cache hit it off pretty well. They are both non-believers!

I have a lifesize Tarantula TB I placed in a cache that scared the crap out of someone. I also opened a cache in Arizona that had a springloaded rattle snake pop out that scared the crap out of me!

I live in the Northeast and I cannot remember seeing WAAS ever on my Vista. I know what to look for (maybe if I looked ) I might see it, but the D's are not that small.

FYI, I dont always drop something off when I go back for a TB. I just think it good sportsmanship if you revisit a cache especially for a TB, to leave something in return. It doesn have to be another TB.

You are not telling me anything I dont already know. I just wish you would make my wife know too.

Must be nice. Cant use one on my Vista.

ALWAYS PACK EXTRA BATTERIES!!!

A trick Mighty Tiggers is to open the cache and view it on one page. If you are using Microsoft (it might work on other OS's) do CTRL + F for Find. Type the word you are looking for, state, town, anything someone might put as a keyword for their cache, and bingo, you will not have to look at 1533 posted finds! Piece of cake.

Thanks CallawayMT. I see that someone spraypainted the tree to highlight the marks. That is pretty cool. Do you think they carve out the bark so they can inscribe the coordinates, or do they find a tree that is split like this one?

I knew what you meant Yerocrq.

It was a toss up between Mountain Dew and NoDoz for me. Actually it was Beavis and Butthead, but after I really stopped and thought about this one, the Dew and the Doz are my winners. Where do you think the internet would be without both of these staples?

Typed - GPSr Spoken - GPS Military - "PLUGGER" (PLGR - Precision Lightweight GPS Receiver) My Wife - That map thingy Had to throw in the wife part.

T-Stone Dead Drop in Tombstone, AZ was a good one.

Just remember someone has to be the first one to the cache in the snow. It can get deep where I am. As long as you are not the first, count your blessings. I tried one a few weeks ago that was a big bummer in the snow. Many hours, yes hour wasted. I complained alot more at the time, no big deal now.

This is my log for Take it Back July 9, 2004 by BilboB (193 found) The World's Easiest Cache Find Ever Recorded (and funniest). I work on state 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.

Cone Z is one of the best caches I have seen yet. How the heck can you get to it UNLESS you have a helicopter? Anyone want to join me?

I had to find a ceramic pine cone in a pine tree. It was camouflaged to perfection. Luckily I went at the right time of year when all the pine cones had fallen off the tree! Another one had me looking for a ceramic rock that was hollowed out. It was placed along the side of the trail among many many other stones. There were a few other clever ones, but these two stand out.
