  1. Hi all,

     

    There has been a lot of interest in forming a club here in WA, particularly for advocacy. Many of us are interested in having a meeting soon.

     

    Team Misguided is willing to have a meeting at their house next Saturday evening or Sunday. They are in Auburn.

     

    Another option would be to have it in Kirkland. Please vote and post agenda items or other thoughts:

    Um...unless you are thinking of pie (in which case there is apple, cherry, rhubarb, etc.) there is only one pi. The only thing that changes from equation to equation is the number of significant digits. So in one instance, you might use 3.14 but in another you might use 3.14159265.

     

    I had to contact the cache owner to ask about this one. That was back on March 23 and I just realized that I haven't gone to find the cache yet! Better get on that. Anyway, 3fros explained radians to me because I must have slept through class that day. Or was that the class I dropped?

    Preparation H, the first ointment to survival?

  4. Okay, really. I'm going to look at my calendar and I am going to post two or three dates as a poll to see which one would be best for meeting at the Olympic Club (Slinger's version of BM--see above). You've been warned!

     

    I'm going to post some dates for the near future but we'll probably want to do another one when it is winter and we need to huddle for warmth. Oh wait, it doesn't get cold here.

  6. Wayne, er, Syn:

     

    Placing one or two caches while on your trip sounds swell. But don't go too crazy. The good folks of Montana probably don't need a whole bunch of unattended caches over there.

     

    Don't forget your toothbrush. And be sure to call.

     

    Love,

    Mom!

     

    P.S. How do you pronounce Syn anyway? The girls at the bridge club are wondering.

  7. I hadn't visited the forums for a while. Now I remember why. I come across threads like "weapons" or other threads where people shamelessly display their illiteracy and narrow minds. If anyone else is interested in actually discussing *geocaching* and can spell correctly, I'd be all for it. But I think most of us need to just get out and hunt a cache or two hundred. (But now I have to look over my shoulder...)

     

    Dismayed,

    Seth!

  8. I'm sure that there is not a simple solution. But not hiding geocaches in fee areas would be a good start! A big part of the problem, of course, is that so many citizens don't want to be taxpayers. They expect everything to be for free. But if we don't have to pay taxes, then erverything will have a user fee. That would really be a drag. We need to start voting for lawmakers who are wise enough to say, "yes, folks, you're going to be taxed" and smart enough to spend the money well. Personally, I don't like permits and fees. I'd rather have it all covered by my tax dollars. On the other hand, sometimes it is nice to know where the money goes. Again, no simple solutions.

     

    (I have a VC in an NPS-operated location and it costs $7 per carload. I figure I've paid more for less. It's cheaper than taking the family to a non-government operated movie.)

  9. Hi all,

     

    I'm trying to get ready to head out of town for a few days. Here are some quick things about some of my geocaches:

     

    • M:I and SHR Doomed

     

    Yes, that's right. Mission:Impossible and School House Rock will be archived at the end of this month. So if you haven't done them and want to, now is the time. Actually, you won't be able to do much of M:I until I return on the 11th. Hopefully, I will have the next Mission ready shortly thereafter.

     

    • Seth!'s Clues

     

    The second paw print is back. This geocache seems to be working well and hopefully will be easier with a clue that doesn't fall off. At least, I think it won't fall off. Take the kids!

     

    • Cul de Cache

     

    This geocache is kind of vulnerable, so if you hunt it while I am gone please re-hide it very, very well.

     

    • Steel Mill Returns

     

    I am reactivating Steel Mill. I had to replace the container. Hopefully this one will work better and won't get stolen.

     

    Cheers,

    Seth!

  10. Yeah, we have reservations for the train in a few days. I hope to shout that it is running this week because I've wanted to ride that for as long as I can remember. I will be REALLY disappointed if I cannot. And it's not looking good. icon_frown.gif

     

    But if we get near the store, I'll sure say howdy. icon_wink.gif

    Fun? Sport? Sorry oregonblackdog, but it sounded like he just wanted to get off...not get them off 'his land'. I guess I misunderstood (??) Oregon aint unique--we have the same situation up here.

     

    In WA, we exchange our pie recipes in our geocaches. icon_wink.gif

  14. I hope that you aren't serious.

     

    A) An urge like that probably requires help from a mental health professional.

     

    :D What in the world does that have to do with geocaching and why is it in this forum?

     

    Don't shoot me,

    Seth!

  15. Hey gang, my family and I are taking a trip from Kirkland, WA to Durango, CO. (No, we aren't firefighters.) I'd like to hit a few geocaches along the way. Can you tell me of some that would be very close to our route and relatively quick to do?

     

    We'll be traveling via ID, UT, and CO, along these Highways:

     

    I-84,

    I-15,

    US-6,

    US 191,

    US-666,

    CO-789

     

    Here is a map and another map and yet another map showing some of our route through your states.

     

    Any ideas you have are appreciated!!

     

    Thanks,
