  1. ....is a cachin' WIMP ! Called for help on something simple like the grotto ! Couldn't find Revenge even with a clue .... Whoa! I give lessons Fridays ! And wait 'till you go for Revenge, Sweet Revenge....either no one has gone for it or they're all afraid to fess up they couldn't find it ! Now as to MY stellar accomplishemnts today... Found: Bowl Rim Man Bites Dog Groovy Fox (special find on this one!) Egrets....version 2 Haven't posted the finds yet, but getting ready to. Just giving you a hard time (smack?) Kevin. I've been on the "begging" side of the coin a few times myself. Ron I've never been lost. Fearsome confused sometimes, but never lost.
  2. ....YEP, Brian's pathetique does have the decrypted hint, but as he says it doesn't have the logs...YET. The logs are sometimes an invaluable source of info since they reflect actual experience at the cache...witness the log(s) on Mom's tatoo. The really interesting thing will be to see how Jeremy's Palmable application comes out. Always nice to have a choice of what to use. I didn't use the EasyGPS for a year because I was using other programs to do much the same thing, but I use it a fair amount now for downloading coords to two gps's and for easily renaming the geocache code to an English name. Easier for me to relate to GROOVY than GC1234 when I look at it on a computer map. Hope everyone has a nice Mother's day....caching for me ! Ron I've never been lost. Fearsome confused sometimes, but never lost.

  4. ....PhD...Etc Well Kevin, I could tell you, but then....I'd have to "cache" you! I'll show you on the PDA whenever we all get together for a meal. My little programs are just for fun...nothing big or special. As a software type I would guess you have some ideas too. Ron I've never been lost. Fearsome confused sometimes, but never lost.

  6. ....continues to be in trouble with the law....Well, the cachers are in trouble, not the cache. Folks, if you have the flashlight coordinates to this cache, park in a DESIGNATED parking lot, go for a walk on a 12 foot wide road, and you will not be hasseled by park rangers. Nuf said? Ron ********* George...I posted the above before I read your post here about Tatoo Parlor. Your post on the cache page is fine....reflects your experience based on how you approached it. I have added three moving alerts at the top of the page to warn people what to do and not do. As far as the PDA goes, I bought one a week ago and am using the Pathetique downloads too, but I am also using a clipper by RSchoolfield which lets you include the decrypted CHEAT and....the logs ! This way you can have the list of 100 or so caches from Brian AND if you so desire you can do some individual synchs to memo pad notes for individual caches....may seem redundant, but consider this.... If you synch with Brian on Wednesday and a cache is placed on Thursday, the RSchoolfield method lets you grab the full description of the cache which you would not otherwise have until the NEXT Wednesday. BTW...love my Prism..anxious to get color maps from the new version of TOPO USA 4.0 and the new X-Map which allows maps on the Palm device. I am also developing my own small Palm OS based programs for my Prism...will show them to you when we get together for lunch/dinner....the buffet ideas makes total sense to me !

  8. ...to meet the newbies to our area and some others who didn't make it to the picnic. Now Kevin, you KNOW that the host should be the person/team with the FEWEST hides and finds ! (That would be you). ****************** OK all...took a break for awhile and am going to spend Mother's Day looking for about 4 caches while my mother celebrates Mother's Day in Kansas and has to be satisfied with a phone call and a card ! ***************** Haven't heard yet from Channel 3 on when the feature will be on...hoping it's next SAT/SUN.

  10. ....is in a new home. When you check out the new description, look at the bottom of the page for a red link to ....The Tomb Of A Million Souls ! http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?id=19926&LID=305909 If you can not access the page it is because the geocaching gods have not yet reactivated it. Should be done by the end of Thursday the 9th I would think. May Rah be with you. I've never been lost. Fearsome confused sometimes, but never lost.

  15. .....fans can now find us at the following URL: http://opentopic.Groundspeak.com/0/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1750973553&f=3000938983&m=9790927054&r=2570967054#2570967054 This is the new home of Central Valley Cachers ! We went to 12 pages in our 2nd of two Stockton/Modesto forums so we decided to change the name and go to a third set of pages. Hope you'll join us there from time to time.

  16. ....what's the sudden interest in caches on railroad property? Here's the link so others don't have to look it up. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=21328&logs=y&decrypt= By the way LO, I was on a set of tracks recently and a pickup truck with railroad wheels and 3 railroad men went by and waved to me and didn't say a word. I wish I could have gotten my camera out faster it was a good shot ! As a "railfan" since the 70's I can tell you that railfans line tracks on a regular basis to take pictures of trains going by. Of course they are usually vintage trains and the crews expect crowds for that, but I would think common sense has a lot to do with being on railroad property. Driving across tracks might even be construed as trespassing ! In my youth I hopped a freight thinking I would get off a mile down the line....ended up going 60 miles and getting off in the middle of the night 2 miles outside a small town. Had to flag down a car to get change to make a call on a pay phone ! Ron I've never been lost. Fearsome confused sometimes, but never lost.

  24. ....how about some ideas for a new topic heading that will reflect the central valley cachers from Stockton, Modesto, Patterson, Lodi, Ceres, Oakdale, etc ? Any ideas ? Ron I've never been lost. Fearsome confused sometimes, but never lost.
  25. ....I suspect your "trigger" word was the name of another caching website. Your note has now appeared several notes above this one, and nothing in it would seem to be a trigger word except that. *************** Re the mystery cache: If you found it along side the road, maybe it just plain fell out of someone's pack on the way to being placed ! It doesn't sound like it had a logbook in it that had been signed-into by any cachers, so doesn't that say it was new and not yet placed? Interested to hear more details if you can share them I've never been lost. Fearsome confused sometimes, but never lost.
