Pork King

They aren't equating toys for tots with the KKK, the simple argument is one of a slippery slope. If TPTB let toys for tots solicitaions in, then why not any other charity that wants to...So maybe the KKK is a bad example, but what about the NRA? Suppose I want to solicit donatons to the NRA through my "Kill Bambi" cache (not a real cache, deer lovers!) How many anti-NRA folks would get hot? No one is saying that anyone would mind the toys for tots charity, it's the charities that are unsavory to some people that would try to solicit under the case of "You let them do it...why not us? you are discriminating!!!" Now my .02...NO SOLICITATIONS. I go to GC.com to geocache...If I wish, i will go to toysfortots.org or whatever to donate to charities. Wouldn't it be horrible for every website to solicit anything that any user wanted to? I mean, banner ads are already a pain! If you want to hold a toys for tot event, post fliers around town! You go to a geocaching event to meet geocachers...How many of you have gotten p'o'ed cause when you got out of wal-mart, there was a flyer touting some business on your windshield? "WHAT THE??? I came to wal-mart to SHOP, not be ADVERTISED to!!! I'm going to throw this flier away without even reading it!! "(litterbug!) Same thing, and don't say it's not, 'cause it is

Just for the record, many, many folks hunt with an SKS (myself included, before I sold mine). In one news report I read, they even staed that it was a common rifle for hunting in that area. I think the biggest misunderstanding there was the hunter, having a communist upbringing, was not familiar with "private property". Everything in a communist country is, well, communal. (Same reason early settlers were about to "trade" Native Americans beads for huge tracts of land) This would stand as to why he got angry at the land owners trying to make him leave.

I'm thankful I'm not the Poultry King! Everyone eat turkey, stay away from the ham!! Ete moor turkie!

I have a plain yellow etrex, and it does the same thing...I first noticed it when I had it in my pocket and took it out. I thought I had inadvertently pushed the power button, but then it started doing it when I was looking at the screen! It happens infrequently most of the time, so I'm not super bothered with it, but when stuck in a poor reception area, it can be a hassle relocating sats once i turn it back on.

Ohhhh!! I wanna find this one! There ain't any like this anywhere near me!

I've seen several of these (mostly by the smae cacher) in my area, NE Mississippi.

I'm currently having a little problem with gaining permission to place a cache in a old slave cemetery on 16 section land (land set aside for schools, etc...but most never get used for such), which is adjacent to and managed by our local rural airport (cropdusters and private bi-planes, mostly). They seem reluctant, mainly because these "old timers" just don't understand the game. I shall persevere, though!

I (luckily) have not had this problem, but here's an idea...Take a cache that seems to be regularly plundered...Try to come up with a time frame (every saturday, for instance) that this happens. Lay in wait on the predicted day, then...jump out and wang 'em on the head with the ammo can!! "Tried to take ammo can, Left bits of skull"

Here in the deep woods of Mississippi, we call BFE (Bum F*** Egypt...I don;t know why the boonies are called that ), I have had my share of animal encounters, most of the animals listed here are routine, save for the buffalo, elk, etc... Snakes, spiders, and snapping turtles abound, and deer and turkey are at every turn! I even had a VERY close call with a painter (panther), though they say there are none left around here...that's BS!!! Scary, scary stuff, there. The strangest encounter, however, is of a species that I never saw. While searching for a cache (in the wrong spot, I later found out), I saw a hole in a bank that I knew hid the cache...Until I started to peer in the hole. The low, gutteral growling convinced me that wasn't the spot, and I didn't stick around to find out what was in that hole!

Ammo cans are definitly the best...My favorite, though, is the little tubs that cool-whip comes in. They are cheap, spacious, and last up to 3 weeks! As for micros, match containers work well, but the rubber gaskets tend to rot. Film canisters do fine. As for cookie tins stated above, they wrok good, but repeated opening cand closing can cause the containers to bend, rendering them non-waterproof.

I have an etrex and I enter all of them manually. Simply do as if you were marking a waypoint (go to the waypoint page and select MARK WAYPOINT, or just hold the ENTER button down for a few seconds). Then you can push up or down to cahnge the name, icon, elevation, etc of the waypoint. Simply select the current coordinates and the screen come up where you change them to any coordinates you want to mark, then select OK, and yer done!

We all need to be careful of hunters any time of the year. One on;y has to turn on the local news to realize what can happen when you stumble upon a hunter that isn't supposed to be there! There are several cachers around here that disable and remove their caches that are in hunting areas during hunting season.

Matchstick Men??? Good Lord, I wanted to shoot myself just for watching that one...What was up with that ending???

I myself like to carry my .45 pistol, whether caching alone or in a group. God didn't make men equal...Mr. Colt did.

The most memorable thing that I could have done without was one of those CD openers that you apparently slide over a new CD and a little razor blade comes out and cuts open the plastic wrap for you...repeat...a little razor blade comes out and cuts open the plastic wrap for you!!! Well, not knowing what this strange little device was, I did what any inquiring mind would do...I started playing with it...repeat...a little razor blade comes out and cuts open the plastic wrap for you!!!Well, needless to say, that little venture sent explicatives sailing into the night. I also left a good bit of DNA on the log book...maybe no one will try to clone me!

I'm not anti micro (in fact, some of the most clever hides I've found were micros), but there have been a few placed in my area lately that are just LAME, like the one near a head-start school that's hidden by a gas-line sign, or the one in the still used, non historic cemetery by the grave of no-one important in a bush, or the one by the derelect building placed in the rotten siding, or the one...well, you get my point. I could go on and on. Might I add that all these are non-camo'ed, easily spotted film canisters?

I'm refusing to see this picture on the basis that my most loathed hollywood actor is in this one. Ever since ConAir, Nicolas Cage has been on my "Very, very, very, very bad actors list...And has anyone else seen Windtalkers??? Bleegh!

I found one that is behind an employee parking sign...you know how signposts are sort of "U" shaped? This is a pill bottle hidden in that "U" behind the sign. One has to unscrew the sign from the post to get to the bottle.

Pork King...this has been my screenname since I got the internet. It is my name in all the games I play, too. I just wanted something original, and a little witty. Pork King does a good job of describing my want for power and pig flesh (I especially love pork tenderlion wrapped in bacon...mmmmmmm).

Someone needs to come up with a glossary of terms, right? I think I've figured out what a "muggle" is, but what is a "geoghost"?
