I found the coolest thing just today actually. It was a keychain version of the board game 'Twister', complete with the colored dots and everything. Very cool.

Thanks for the help guys! Any suggestions about the micro-logs?

Well, I'm quickly closing in on 100 finds and just upgraded to a premium membership so I think it's high time I make a few of my own hides. The only problem is, I have no idea where to get the identification papers that many caches have (i.e- "Official Geocache", "Congradulations! You found it! Intentionally or unintentionally" ect, ect) or the special cache logs that many micros have. Is there a resource online where I can print these things off (preferably in PDF)? Thanks in advance everyone!

Oh, thats an easy question; I nearly rolled my brand new SUV. It actually happened to me about a month ago. I was down in Greeneville TN for a DJ conference and decided to take a few hours on the last day to log some TN caches. I accidently drove past the cache and took a wrong turn down a side street. Well, the road that I turned down bordered a steep, grass covered ravine. The road actually overlapped the ravine for about a foot, creating a lip. I pulled into a driveway across from the ravine, and backed out to turn around. I backed out too far and drove one of my back tires over the lip. Immediately one of my front tires went up in the air and I slammed on the brakes. Unfortunately, my Saturn VUE is a 5-speed and only front wheel drive, so I knew it was going to be tricky to move forward, but I had to try. So, I put it in 1st gear and let off the clutch. As soon as I did, my car fell backwards over the lip and down the ravine, my 2 front tires pointed skyward. Trust me, you havent had your nerves rattled until you see the top of the sky in your front windshield....about 5 more inches of backwards tilt and my car would have rolled end over end all the way to the bottom. Thankfully, about halfway down the car slammed back down to all fours and slid sideways the rest of the way down the hill, stopping a few feet from a large stand of trees at the bottom. I tried to drive back up and out of the ravine, but recent rains had made the grass just way too slick, and my poor excuse for an SUV could barely make it halfway up without sliding down again. All in all, a very scary experience. But, all in the name of the hunt, right?

When you look at the logs for a cache GC.com and see nothing but Maintanence Requests and DNFs for the last 6 months, but you go anyway because "Maybe I can find it."

Never have found a Morel while caching, but as a kid growing up in southeast Ohio I distinctly remember going out with my mom to go Morel hunting. The best edible mushroom there is, bar none. Saute them with butter and salt, mmmmm......

Pretty simple explanation really; the name comes from the black Panama Jack fedora that I wear while caching. I never wear it any other time (it was a gift, and I just don't think I could pull it off as a fashion statement). It's kind of my signature, and I'm totally convinced it gives me luck when I'm looking for particularly tough hides
