  1. Okay, here's my Bookmarked wish list of caches to do on the 6th. I know I won't be able to get them all but those of us in the Land Rover are going to do our darndest to geterdone. There are a couple on the list that are probabbly going to get tossed but I had to start somewhere.

    The must does are the 4 on the Iron Horse trail, the two at Lake Keetchleus, Prayer Flags & The World as Runhills Likes To See It. All the others are "sure would be nice to do if we have the time."

  2. I'll ask and see if I can go but not sure if I can afford the gas. I plan on burnig a tank on the 6th up at snoqualmie. I've been looking at Marcus' "A Drive in the Woods" series and would really like to get at least a couple, I haven't looked at GeoRoo's yet.

  3. Is it possible to make it to the Seattle waterfront? That is where I work, and the easiest meeting place for me... I could offer free temporary parking while you picked it up. Or we can try somewhere else... I have to do a truck run in South Park on Fri. morning, is that a better place to meet?

    I work in Georgetown and will be seeing Weightman on the 6thso if you want you can drop it off with me and I will get them to WM next Wednesday. It would have to be this week as I am off all next week.

     

     

    edit- changed date from 7th to 6th

  4. I'll toss a canoe on top and grab some PFD's just in case anyone is interested.

    If there is enough interest I'll toss 2 canoes on the truck capable of holding 3 each and I have enough PFD's to go around.

     

    And the production gathers speed. :anicute:

    I would love to claim a seat in one of your canoe's and do that cache.

    Reading the latest logs for Stuffed with Fluff & Keechelus Crossing II both appear to be walk to and one may even be a drive to cache at the moment.

  5. Just since it was never specifially said, the $5 parking area is the closest place to Iron Horse (East) to park right?  I'm just planning on pointing the navigation thing to that one and pushing "go".

    Right.

  6. From what I have ben able to decifer, the plan is to meet at the pay lot near the east end of the tunnel at 1030. How you get there is up to you.

    Except for my already full carpool I have seen nothing definative just a lot of we could do this or that type chatter as far as meeting someplace else & forming carpools up to Hyak.

  7. Right now my week next week is looking fairly empty.  I may be able to get the day off and join you guys.  If nothing else to get my hands on some of that yummy frito pie!

    Hopefully the week after next is your slow week because if you show next week you'll be on your own. :anitongue:

  9. The drive-by was Stuffed-with Fluff, sometimes it is a boat-by.

     

    Now I was driving my truck, not the van, on the road to the Runhills cache and there was some nervous tension from the passengers on the way up.  On the way down L&R actually bailed out prefering to be thrown from an open bed of the truck rather than be trapped in the back seats  :lol: .

     

    I can hear the screams now coming from the back seats of the LR  :laughing:

    I have running boards and hand rails they can hang from if it gets to scarry, they've been used before :yikes::lol: .

  10. Two things:

     

    1)  If consume Frito Pies and I am not at the event your guts will fill with enorumous amounts of gas and explode.

     

    2)  The World as Runhills Sees It is not really a "drive by" but a "drive to", a destination of sorts.

     

    Peace, Nolenator

    I did say that The World as Runhills Sees It is was a "drive to", not a "drive by". From the descriptions & pictures that have been posted The World as Runhills Sees It is looks like a very nice destination whether there was a cache there or not, plus I get to drive the Land Rover up some rough roads again.

     

    PP just filled the last of the availabel LR seats, so the pit crew is now set. :laughing:

  11. Well thanks.  I have been working on getting this going since February.  I finally bagged my first cache.  It was alot of fun.

    I tend to over-plan my caching excursions but 4 months is even going a little overboard for me. :laughing::yikes::lol:

  12. In my vast Frito Pie experience, all two of them, Frito Pies have been a tail gating activity so there is no need to lug all the equipment and fixins on our backs.

    I'll bring the stove. What do I need for "Cooking gear"?

     

    Shall I bring a boat or canoe or 3 and jack this production up another notch. :laughing::yikes:

    If not mistaken, and I frequently am, a pot to heat up chili and a dispensing utensil will be all that is required, oh yeah and something to light the stove with. :lol::lol:

     

    There are two nearby island caches on Lake Keechelus, but the requirement for a boat varies with water level of the lake.

  13. O.k. so - did I hear mention of "Frito Pies"???  No?  Well we surely can't have out-of-town guests and not serve them the local delicacy, now can we?  I'll bring the chili and the fritos, if others can bring the toppings and a stove.

    I have a propane camp stove (4 in fact of different sizes etc.) none of which you would want to lug around the woods. I too have been curious as to the local "Frito Pie" thingy.

    In my vast Frito Pie experience, all two of them, Frito Pies have been a tail gating activity so there is no need to lug all the equipment and fixins on our backs.

     

    My plan for doing the Runhills cache, which is a drive to cache, is to do it after the now planned post hike lunch so that those who want to do it can and those who don't can read about it in our logs.

    GG has called shotgun in the LR so I still have two open spots in the back seat.

     

    And the production continues to grow :lol:

  14. Ya, that's what we want to do.  Just waiting for you locals to stop yappin' about a meeting spot and pick one.  :D

     

    Actually, I don't want to make a big production out of it, so maybe we just meet at the $5 spot and if people want to arrange car pools, even starting from Seattle then you can.

    Too late it's already been made a big production, we're just getting started and we still have two weeks to make it an even bigger production. :D

  15. If you look the cemetary caches are pretty far down the list so the likelyhood of having more than one or two groups showing up at the same time is pretty small, at least minimizing the visual impact on the casual observer. In fact they are far enough down the list that it is likely that a lot of the cachers will never even get to them (not meant as a challange, just an observation).
