    GEOCACHING IN PARADISE

    in South and Southeast

    Posted

    Well, it looks like Atlanta and most of the south is covered in ICE. This week we are in the low 60's for highs.

    Rosie and I loaded up our Beach Cruisers onto the Jeep and did a little series of micros on a bike trail on the bay in Dunedin this weekend!

    I drove 22 hours for FROST. <_< Its suppose to be warmer tomorrow. Just in time for us to head home. At least it was nice and sunny.

     

     

    The alternative is tons of ice and snow, collapsing domes, canceled airline flights, and the biggest East Coast blizzard in years!

     

    We had to have our plane de-iced in Atlanta the day after Christmas. They don't handle de-icing too well in the South. An hour wait on the tarmac. Then monkeys on leashes with icepicks! Finally somebody got some portable generators and guys with hair dryers and long extension cords...

     

    We're looking at a predicted 76 degrees for the game in Tampa saturday!! :anibad:

    being a CO of a paddle cache that you can rarely maintain?

    There are far too many urban lamppost hides and far too few Kayak caches in islands in the stream, for potential hiders to be discouraged.

     

    We say go for it. The outdoors type cachers are more likely to carry cache maintenance stuff with them and more reliable in helping each other out than the park and grabers in high heels. You will get the help you need if you ask for it. We need more hiders like you.

     

    We placed a series of caches on a river and they don't get visited often, and other cachers help us maintain them. If you place more than just one, it will make the trip a more rewarding destination for cachers to go to the trouble of renting the Kayaks or canoes.

    So am I being UNFAIR

    1 ) The OP hid a cache they are unwilling or unable to maintain in a timely manner.

    I see this as a bad thing.

     

    2 ) The OP made a twisted logic leap, assuming that a blank digital log must equal a bogus find.

    This has been proven to be patently false, time and time again.

     

    3 ) The OP deleted a find without bothering to check to see if it was bogus.

    I see this as a bad thing.

     

    4 ) The OP came to the forums for advice, then became petulant when given it.

    I see this as a bad thing.

     

    But, obviously, your mileage varies, so we'll just shake and walk away.

     

    We see your unfounded assumptions as a bad thing.

     

    1. Cache maintenance not an issue here.

    2. No twisted logic leaps here.

    3. Finder was given opportunity to clear matter up, declined.

    4. Petulance shown here is understandable, given snarky comments made.

     

    No mileage, no shaking, no walking required.

    We spent a wonderful weekend celebrating the Birth of Our Saviour in a very small, quaint Georgia village that's been around since 1837. It was the first White Christmas in this area in 128 years! :P

     

    We allotted a few minutes to check out one of the four geocaches in town, the only one that wasn't a micro.

     

    See if you can guess correctly what we saw when we got there:

     

    1. The Turn-of-the-century renovated historic brick train station. :)

    2. A beautiful Mural painted on the side of a downtown building depicting an old time Steam Locomotive. :rolleyes:

    3. An old time church with steeple and huge white columns out front. :D

    4. A rusted unused electrical box surrounded by mud puddles. :(

     

    First correct answer gets a free smiley on our next cache. :anibad:

    It's a holder that I can clip my GPSr onto my bicycle handlebars (also fits motorcyles and 4 wheelers). I think it's called RAM motocycle mount.

     

     

    YOU CAN'T HOLD IT IN YOUR HAND AND LOOK AT IT and still operate your bike???? There are plenty of people around here that can hold a cell phone to their ear, while texting and adjusting their radios, and operate their automobiles at 65 mph....

    :blink:

    Clearwater: GC1RC90 Florida Spirit Quest #002: Touch The Battleship--This cache will take you to a monument to the U.S.S. Maine . The Maine blew up and sank, instantly sending 266 sailors to a watery grave on February 15, 1898 while tied up in Havana Harbor, precipitating the Spanish American War. The metal plaque is made from metal from the sunken hull of the Maine.

     

    Clearwater: GC2AYQ3 Florida Spirit Quest #006: "IRON MIKE"-- This cache will take you to one of Viquesney's 134 famous "SPIRIT OF THE AMERICAN DOUGHBOY" statues, honoring the veterans and casualties of World War I.

    The statue depicts a soldier walking through shattered tree stumps strung with barbed wire, his rifle in his left hand and his right hand held high above his head, clutching a hand grenade.
