    The Perseids Meteor Shower Event

    in Northwest

    Posted

    I sat outside in the garden with my husband last night for an hour or so. The sky was dark, and the milky way seemed to go on forever. We enjoyed watching some of the meteors. I wish that we could participate in the event, it's totally something we would normally do if life were just a bit gentler on us right now. But we're planning on heading up above our house a little ways tomorrow night where it's darker, and watching the display from there. We'll be with you guys in spirit. :)

    Hopefully tou were a lot dryer :)

    BTW, I could use a ride from Bellevue, or meet somewhere else.

    We've got room Marc - you're surely welcome to come along and get lost with us! The geojalopy departs Left Seattle at 7 am. Plenty of parking here to leave your car. Shoot me a private note if you'd like to join us.

    Or I still have room for two in the Land Rover. Departing Federal Way approx. 0700.

    So, I'm a little torn between "It seems absurd to drive all the way out there solo" and "My mom always taught me not to take rides from strangers." I'm not sure which way I'll fall with that. I don't really know any of you at this point, sadly. FWIW, I'm coming from North Seattle. I'd at least like some company on the trails.

     

    As a point of clarification, are we hiking 858 and turning onto 851 or do we continue on 858 to go to moonshine flats? I'm getting a little confused looking at the maps and lists.

    No rides from strangers, but you'll follow them into the woods?????????? :lol::anitongue:

     

    I still have room in the Land Rover if you're interested. I'm planning on leaving Federal Way around 0700 and stopping in Ocean Shores to pick up my nephew.

    I understand he is gone.. but maybe somebody who knows them might have the pertinent information. Say Sassy Pants is out of town.. and somebody asked me, if they were going to cache near her what cache would they use to run a PQ off of, I could answer for her because I know her and I would say "Cheap and EZ" GCZNEE.

     

    A good center point would probably be "South Of Eastwood" GCYNR7.

    Looks like I better make another list as to who is coming when and who's they are picking up.

     

    As far as payment, cash is best. But I also have a paypal account. Other than that, Money Orders will work.

     

    And of course, for every puzzle cache that you can provide me the answer to, Ill give you one of your cans for half price. Just Kidding!!!!

     

    I will be gone starting tomorrow for about 5-6 days, so any e-mails or posts on here wont be answered until I get back. Gonna go camping over in Eastern Washington and see how many caches we can get without seeing any snakes!!!

     

    Remember Nick is out of town and won't be answering any e-mail until he gets back so don't get too anxious if you aren't getting any replies.

    WSGA 2007 Summer Campout

    Posted

    We will be spending the week after the campout and the following weekend on the Olympic Peninsula. I am also hoping to take the ferry to Victoria for an overnighter but I need to have a place to park our tent trailer while we are in Canada. Any one out there between Port Townsend and Port Angeles have a parking spot we could use for couple of days?

    paperless with an Ipod

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    Read in here that people use ipods for paperless.

    My question is how do you get from Gsak to the ipod?

    Gsak doesn't allow you to export a .vcf file, so can anyone tell me the step by step to do it?

    I have a spare Ipods and want to try this, along with the Palm I have coming...woohoo paperless!!!!

    :tired:

    Thanks

    I beleive GPSBABLE will convert gpx files to vcf files.

    My Face is sunburnt so bad that it's starting to blister, but I don't care! I had a blast on the hike. What a perfect day to be at Mt. Rainier! I had a lot of fun hanging out with the 7am group and it was nice seeing the others along the way.

     

    See my pictures from the day here!

    Maybe one of these years I'll be able to make that hike, but not in the near future. Looks like you all had fun though...OK, maybe not LR... :D

     

    A few of those pictures would be great on the Banners... :D

    This may not have been one of the funnest hikes I have ever done, okay the up part, the glissading down was incredible butt :D was not with out it's consequences, but is is something that I will never forget and was a great accomplishment for me. The sunburn is not real fun today and my calves are are pretty sore too.

    Do you peeps ever bring picanic lunches on these outings? I do, but my circumstances are a little unusual. Has the final itinerary been decided? Inquiring minds want to know. :D

    Bringing your own food is the only way of guaranteeing that you get to eat! B) I usually bring something for lunch, but will gladly chuck it if a better opportunity comes along.

    There is that Starbucks about 15 mile up the Middel Fork road at the corner of nowhere and obscurity. B)

    Not a numbers milestone, but.... I just completed Bruce Bjornstad's Missoula Flood geology series, one of my goals for the summer. If you haven't done any of them, this is an amazing cache series that takes you to key geological remnants of the Ice Age floods that shaped Eastern Washington. Some are relatively easy, some require fairly physical hikes in desert terrain. But they are all very cool, with some amazing views (Wallula Gap!). :D

     

    In looking at the logs, I discovered I'm only the 2nd person to complete the 10-cache series in the 2.5 years they've been out. Woot! (Belated congrats to ricksto, who was FTF on the series a year ago.)

    But Summer hasn't even started yet.

    I guess you'll have to come up with a new Summer goal. :rolleyes:

    95% chance I'm in.

    Just have to get one more coat of paint on the walls tomorrow afternoon.

    I do need to be back somewhat early, 4ish or so. I still have lots of trim to get up and I need to dig the refrigerator we bought 3 years ago, that's still in the box, out of the garage, I know it's in there someplace. :rolleyes:

    Graffiti in backcountry

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    I've found it on a rock near one of my back country caches. But grafitti is nothing new, while hikiing to some Indian Ruins way back in the Superstitions we found some names on the ruins from around 1890.

    Why is it that if someone spray paints a rock it's grafitti, but if an Indian draws a stick figure on a rock it's a historic artifact. Do you think way back when the indians mom grounded the kid for writing on the cave walls?

    hmmmmmmmmmm.

    I'd be up for a run up there again to get what we can. You arranging it?

     

    I've got one up there too, and a lot more have sprung up since I put it there.

     

    Anyone up for this weekend?

     

    I would like to go but it depends on how much I get done around the house this week. I didn't get everything I needed to get done over the holiday weekend and there's no way I'm getting out again until it's done.
