The Magical Misfits

i like that idea

when we started our first cache, we spent over $50 for the ten items in the cache...when we checked it (before it came up missing) one of the NICE items was...a door-stop....yep, I said a door-stop...and not a nice wedge that goes under a door, i'm talking the little springy kind you screw to a door...and that was one of the NICE items...so we're replacing the cache again soon...and I just might throw in a door-stop.

This very thought keeps me awake all night long. Sincerely, No It Doesn't If a cache is archived, I don't give it a second thought on whether or not the cache is still there. It's the owners responsibility to remove it, not mine or an admin's.

what does "dd" and "Dh" stand for?

Don't leave home without it...

We use the Garmin eMap. We actually chose it because they discontinued them and we got one brand new for $60 when other stores still retailed them for $220. Too good of a deal to pass up. Insane deal if you ask me, which you didn't... We got a 16mb memory card for it and MapSource, which is just great for driving. and the screen size is almost twice that of a Legend, vista, etrex, etc... I keep wanting to upgrade to a color GPS but just can't justify it yet.

Sounds like the time we were at a department store and I searched all over automotive for an ice-scraper to keep in my car...after searching for about ten minutes I finally asked someone "where can I find an ice-scraper for my car?" and the lady looked at me and replied "try electronics". how do you respond to that??

here's a geocaching story that aired on the news a while ago here in Indianapolis Here's The Link

HOLY SSSSSSSHHHHHH******TTTTT!!!!!!! It's 2:20AM in the morning, not a light on in the house 'cept the light from the computer monitor. I'm sitting here all engrossed in Part 2 of the video there, when all of the sudden my cat jumps from the table behind me over my shoulder and lands right it front of me on my desk trying to catch some dang little flying bug that was attracted to the light from the monitor. I think I'll go change now!! that is hilarious hopefully you liked the video. I did. Its 7am...I am up earlier than my alarm to go to work and am looking through the site. I saw a post about movies and just watched part 2. Its still dark and I said to myself "this is going to make it harder to cache alone i know it" then your freak guy pops up and hisses at the camera....dude the cause my heart to skip a beat, i cant stop looking over my shoulder now! I have a story before I started caching. Wanna hear it? Heres how it goes: There is a place near me called "BeaverDam Creek Resevior" and I just moved to the dam area (not dadgum area) and wanted to find some good ways to the water. There is fast short street to the lake with parking next to a church. Farther down the road there is another road down to the water that i found via map. I drive down the main road until I find it. Drive down that road to find 1 dirty van and a gate. The road is blocked off. I get out to walk down the old, gravely, dirty, weed over grown road. Nobody is around and the van is empty. The path I walked is the old road and its about 15ft wide. After I get so far I cant see my car, I cant see anyone, and I cant see the water. I start to get weirded out but I trek on. As I walk, I see just off the edge of the old abandoned road a hole dug. Its off in the trees about another 15 feet off the path/road. The hole, 4ft wide by about 6ft tall. Only 3 feet deep, its not a clean squared off hole but its still weird. The dirt is piled up next to it. Its not fresh either. But thats enough for me to start thinking way to much. I stop, listen for anyone that might be hiking, walking, talking and hear nothing. I look farther down the road and think "should I keep going? Hmm this is kind of weird" I decide to pass, I turn around and start walking back like nothing happened. Afterall if I was being watched, I sure as hell did not want them to think I saw something. You know. Act like you dont know anything I get to the point where I can see my car and know I am almost feeling safe. I get my keys out, get my car key ready, and bolt! I run for my car, creeping myself out more...get there and the van is gone. WTF there are no other trails around there. Where did they go and come from and how did I not see them. I don't care, I took off and did not go back. I still want to go to the end of that road, but maybe I will wait and do it with a dirt bike LOL - I scared myself. Wonder what that hole was for??? excellent story! I love the way you told it too! Man that woulda FREAKED me out! I know that feeling where you're heading back to safety and you go kinda numb and then, BAM, you run like there's no tommorow. That's happened to me more than I'd like to admit.

not sure if this is what you're wanting or not. My cache has a "blair witch" type video you're supposed to watch on the cache web page before hunting for it.

Call your local sign and banner shop, they'll make some for you and they'll be exactly to your specifications. Thankfully my brother owns a sign and banner shop here in Indy so he made these for me free of charge. They're weather proof and blend into the scenery. The font matches the theme to my cache

I used my Digital8 Handycam for filming and edited it in Studio7. I was going to use premiere but didn't need that much power behind it. I wanted to go for the "Raw" look. going by the e-mails i've gotten about the cache, we'll definately be doing a sequel to this...the theme will have a little bit of a twist to it...it'll be good times. I also thought it was funny how our videos started the same way...great minds...

I did the same type of thing back in september...an internet movie for my cache. let me know what you think . this link takes you to the cache page. Devil's Playground

I bought my Emap at a sporting goods store brand new on sale for $80. I love it!

Here's a link to a geocaching news clip I recorded about a month ago here in Indianapolis: •Link•

Yup. You just can't pick and choose and they don't have an option to pay a little extra for someone to do it for you. I've always wondered about that option. Just bought one of these the other day for $3.97. I think that's a pretty good deal.

I found a box that had all sorts of little trinkets in it, it had camo-tape all over it too...it blended in really well with it's surroundings so it's no wonder the owner lost it. What's really strange though is that since I found the lost box, nobody has found the cache.. huh, go figure..

Don'e be afraid of that picture...it's just the smoke from your cigarette. see? (This is smoke from a candle I blew out)

Here's the video. it's not the best quality but it'll do...and it's under 2mb so it should download quickly. Click here, then save the geocaching.wmv file and it should work just fine for you. This is a direct link to the video oh, by the way, hello everybody!
