Arabesque

Thank's to all! I look forward to many more! Arabesque

Just thought I would state that Arabesque, Tin-Ear, & Sage2506 are planning to go to the earth cache and a few on the way on Sunday. We have room for a fourth. Hope to meet up with someone there!

I guess I should tell the world what Arabesque means. It was the name of the boat Cachin-Ferret and myself lived on for about 5 years. Cachin-Ferret and myself lived on a sailboat in and around the Seattle area. We never got to do any LONG distance traveling like we wanted to. Guess we were having to much fun and found our self’s with a baby! So we sold the boat, moved to land and became like everyone else. When we started to get into Geocaching the name Arabesque just fit. Webster’s College Edition dictionary gives this definition, “A position in which one leg is extended straight backward and the arms are extended, usually one forward and one backward.”. I thought that describes looking for/getting many caches so it stuck and I became Arabesque.

I would be interested in attending. I have a Dell Axim X30 mid (Pocket PC 2003) with 802.11b and Bluetooth. I have just started using the Dell for paperless caching.

Adding to what LittleBlue said, It is the hides that give us the finds. We have all been to caches that after you found it you said, “That could have been better.” Don’t get me wrong here, I appreciate ALL hides, anyone getting out there and putting in the effort to make a hide deserves an AT-A-BOY in my book. I just would like to say that some of the hides are so clever that after you complete them you just smile and grin. Often these same caches are really not that hard to find, they are just clever in execution. The container might be creative, the location might be unusual, the walk/drive to the cache might be special, but there is always something that makes you remember that finding that cache was a wonderful experience. It’s not about the numbers. If it was I would only do 1/1 caches! It is about hoping that the next cache is one that makes me smile. Guess I am a smile junky!

Skipped out of work today at noon to do a little caching with my sweetie. Went to Griffin Creek Trestle. It was sooooo nice! Just had to brag a bit, While some worked, I played! Yippy Skippy. Even called a friend to "Rub it in"

Congrad's LittleBlue! Four a day! That's what I call caching! NICE.

Just wanted to put my two cents in. I started the caching adventure on July 29th. Got a Garmin for my birthday. I didn't have any idea what to expect but thought it looked like fun. Now I have got Sage2506, Tin-Ear, and Caching-Ferret completly hooked on this sport. I have placed 3 caches, and found 268 caches so far and love it. I have meet only nice people, no nasty ones. OK, some evil, but no nasty ones! Made new friends like LittleBlue. Meet near famous people out looking, it's been great! I did my 200th cache on November 7th, 2004 at Heybrook Lookout and on November 26th, 2004 I did my 250th cache at Explorer Falls. I know to some it does not seem like much, but to those of you who know me, it takes effort to move my bad back, over weight, bad knees over these trails. I can only envy how some of you can go for many mile walks. But, I don't see any stopping right now for me. It is the best thing I can imagine. I love finding caches, even the micros. I know this is blowing my own horn here, but I having said what I said, I also have to say, I look forward to meeting more of you on the trails!
