  1. Thanks Brian this cache is now on my to do list. Well its about time somebody went after it! Watch for rattlesnakes! Another shameless plug by briansnat??
  2. That's a rather offensive gesture. I hope no one from the Euro/Mediterranean region are reading this. You mean Europeans are offended by a thumbs up? I thought it was Italians (Romans) who came up with this hand signal in the Coliseum. Actually, it's the "V" victory sign, with the palm turned towards yourself, that is THE offensive gesture in Europe that will undoubtedly get you thrashed.
  3. No bushwhacking to any caches? Would that be considered "jay-hiking"? Geez, next thing you know, they'll be asking for identity papers at all park entrances... "Halt! Ausweispapiere!"
  4. Why another topic of the same name?? >groan!< but with a different born on date
  5. Some people just don't get the idea. No matter how many times you show or tell them how to do it. ooh! a shiney!
  6. Is this the right place to get MOPAR'ED?! What was the question?
  7. I believe those areas are US Government properties. Starting at McGuire AFB thru Fort Dix thru Lakehurst NAS and all the way north up to Earle NAS. Just my guess.
  8. i would add... what was your most extreme method of retrieval just to get a smiley? what was your worst experience during caching? what GPSr do you use?
  9. I wished we lived in an ideal world where we could all find every cache that was in a park. But if someone has a 5/1 cache and it starts 5 miles a way and goes through a park and you DO NOT know it becacuse it is to hard for you to solve or even SUSPECT then how would you ever know. This advice may sound good but it is a bit naive, sorry but it is. There is current on cache here in Denver that has over 12 stages and covers the entire Denver metero area that is a 4.5/2.5 how is anyone to know execpt someone who completers the cache or has hidden it where the stages are at. There is another cache that I am told is a 29 mile drive around Lakewood Co a suburb of Denver. How do I know that that fire hydrant or the numbers on that building or that light pole is part of that multi and I can't put my hide a key under that bench because it is part of someone elses multistage cache. HOW DO I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you see now what the problem is there is no way to know. And Yes I have had a cache refused because the approver did not like the idea of it. It was not moral/crude/crass etc. it did not viplate any of the guidelines of GC.com cache place ment rules and there are other caches that had the same purpose. But mine was denied buecasue the approver didn't not like the idea. I don't mean to seem harsh but people make statements that just get your dander up. cheers Complete all the multi-caches in the area first. And then you'll know, first hand, where all the stages are. Bring the cache you want placed with you. And when you like an area that you want to place your cache, make sure it's +550 ft (benefit of doubt) away from any previously placed caches/stages. Period. As a matter of fact, it would be fun to complete that multi-cache and at the same time you get to reconnoiter nicer locations for a possibly better cache. What's so difficult about that?
  10. Or maybe something was stalking me??!!
  11. So are they allowed to approve a cache when it's convenient to them, i.e. "I'm going home from work now. I'll approve the cache now so I can hit it on the way home". Or, "Can't go out tonight ... I'll wait to approve the cache till the morning when I can". Actually we wait until we get to the cache then use our wireless INTERNET enabled phones to approve them while we sign the log. Give me an Freaking break here. IF you don't have faith in the integrity of your local reviewer then don't place a cache. But for gods sake don't insult us with statements like you just made.!! BRAVO !!
  12. Along with your The Ten Essentials, I have also included within my day pack... Emergency Bivvy Sack or Blanket Heat/Ice packs (included into First aid kit) Leatherman tool Zip strips/cords (whatever they're called) Snickers bars (a few sealed in a plastic bag) Cell phone
  13. Depending on what kind of vibes I picked up from this guy I might have described geocaching to him and if he showed any kind of interest I would have shown him the cache. He didn't seem interested at all, so I just gave him the info he wanted and left it at that. ... perhaps you had a "ghost cacher" experience. My bet is, he might have been pretending he's inexperienced to throw you off his scent. Where's the trail? Yeah, That's a good one! You're the one with the map! >finger to nose< What was the printout of??
  14. We're onto you Mr. Pofe. Hiding your new cache with Mr. NJ Admin (briansnat) surely has it's rewards. Don't it?!
  15. ... you also forgot bravado. If it weren't for his gun, he'd be low-tailing it back to the porch just like his flea-bitten mutt.
  16. ...so much for a quiet & peaceful hike in and around Splitrock Reservoir.
  17. What is GC.com's position on this situation? Are they helping matters with the local area geocachers or are they impartial, just watching the chips fall as they may? Perhaps this would be a good time to see my membership at work? Hmm?
