A few months ago, I sold my old car and got a new one. I left the TB decal on my old one and figured if the new owners didn't like it, they could take it off. It kinda looks cool to muggles anyways. Turns out, they like it. The TB is still being "discovered" in Seattle while I'm in Tacoma. ...cool!

May have been me, I drive that way a few times every day and haven't seen anyone else with a GC sticker in that area.

How about this one? Still up for grabs

Today I had an experience I just have to share here. I went to a cache in Sumner, WA (Is The White River Really White?) earlier this afternoon and for those who haven't been there, it's right behind the Sumner library, along the Puyallup River. I went down to GZ and noticed there was a guy in his mid-twenties about 15 feet away from the cache. He kindly introduced himself and started up a conversation. I wont give all the details, but I was put in a very dangerous situation because I was by myself. It turns out he is a registered sex offender (I only know this because he gave me his phone number on a "scratch" piece of paper- his court documents) I seem to get caught up thinking I'm invincible and can get out of bad situations, but I'm realizing that being a young-twenties female is just asking for danger. Definitely investing in some heavy-duty pepper spray ASAP!

Unfortunately I've never seen a cacher on the roads. My cache mobile has a travel bug decal (and tracking number of course!) in my rear window. It's a late 90's model red Acura Integra with tinted windows and chrome rims... kinda looks like a little hotwheels car. Or just click here

So... would it be pointless for a twenty year old to come? Since it is in a pub?

At the nearby craft store, I get a packet of sheets called "Shrinky Dinks" You color on the transparent paper (you can even trace pictures) with colored pencils, cut your design out, and put it in the oven for 2 minutes and it shrinks to a thick plastic piece. I like to make coins with "kristaxc" on it. They always turn out pretty cool.

Is anyone running the Portland marathon this year? I'm going to, as long as I can register in time (limited # of available entries, and I don't want to register unless I'm positive I can train for it) Or any other marathons near WA? Or any cool marathons you've done in the past?

I usually do most of my caching alone. If you act like you're supposed to be there, people will believe it and won't question what youre doing.

Lately I've been blending geocaching and running together. It's nice to have something to look forward to while you're running

Finally reached #100 at Ortings Tar Pot (GC18WR3) Krklnmn reached #100 at the one we visited right before Ortings Tar Pot, Carbon River Bison (GC1RQA9) Woohoo!

When you sleep, you either dream of amazing places to hide new caches, or you have nightmares of that DNF earlier in the day. When the trunk of your car is packed full of plastic baggies, tupperware, a big stick, flashlights, lots of AA batteries, geocaching clothes/shoes, and bags of swag. When your family and friends get irritated with you because anytime you are ever near a geocache you know about, you tell them the size/difficulty/terrian/hint/last 5 logs of that cache and blab about how it's on your "to-do" list.

Yes, Usually in the Puyallup or Gig Harbor Area. I'm currently training for my first marathon.
