  1. Here the Park District has some restrictions but no fees and is very easy to work with. The Forest Preserve District on the other hand has restrictions, charges a $10.00 fee and when they decided to do this they had a cacher(friend of preserve employee) from a neighboring community come in and remove all the caches in the Preserves. There were no notices given and nothing returned.( I suspect the cacher friend gained quite a few nice containers and swag since the district office said they had no idea what happened to them after the removal)This was in 2005 and really pissed me off, this year was the first time I bought a permit because the preserves are pretty empty of caches but the public parks are loaded.
  2. if this offer is still open I could use a little(LOT) of help since I have absolutely no artistic abilities. I have an idea....a slightly overweight dog kicked back in a big easy chair with a botle of Corona. ... what do you think?
  3. Longest Slump 1156 consecutive days without a find from 07/31/2007 to 09/29/2010 sometimes life gets in your way
  4. And to get a free lifetime supply, just look in the trash container that contractors set up in front of houses they are building. When they cut out the windows/doors/trim excess, they throw it out. what part are they cutting out? the openings are made for doors and windows during the build. are you talking about the packaging for the doors? Tyvek, for those who don't know what it is... is a Dupont product of spun polyethylene fibers. The "hard" variety (paper) is predominatly used as a moisture-proofing housewrap. The "soft" (fabric) variety is used (among other things) to manufacture protective suits used by painters, insulators, or anyone else who doesn't want dust, dirt or spray on them. The house wrap is applied after the structure is framed and sheathed. It comes on a roll, so home builders start at one corner of the house, and like a Christmas present, wrap the whole thing around. It is better done this way to eliminate seams that leak which defeat the purpose. Contractors then go back and cut the paper overwrap from the window and door openings . This is usually thrown away. It is easily written on, and has a very good resistance to tearing. Excellent for a log sheet!! edit to add- best of all it can be found in the dumpster for free. Tyvek is just one brand name for this, and there are other varieties of housewrap "paper" available also. Thanks for the lesson. I will be keeping an eye out for it.
