He was hiking here in SoCal. Long hike, over 100 degrees. Failed to revive. Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

Page 4! Speaking of which... can anyone belive that Paul Harvey is still alive? (obscure joke) Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

Nice site, Rich. At Martin's suggestion, I added a link to it on the picnic cache page... Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

I'm still trying to figure out why the new cache was approved with the same name as the existing one... Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

Two new caches showed up here today in L.A. - and both of them are almost on top of already established caches. In the first instance, the "older" cache has only been around for a couple of days, so I can assume both hiders placed them around the same time and waited for a couple of days to go online. Just a coincidence. But in the case of the new Mt. Lowe, a cache has been in place at the same site for more than a year; its name? Mt. Lowe! I'm all for there being as many caches out there as possible, but it seems odd that the new MT. LOWE would have been approved, doesn't it? Or is it just me? Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

I've paid no attention to them at all. There are very few around here, for one thing... and, for another, I just don't really care. Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

All I know is Kevin's bringing caviar... Martin: your roomate actually has a Neilsen diary? Wow! I don't care what you write down as long as it has NOTHING to do with reality shows... 'cause they're screwing with my career! Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

Guess we know who's bringing caviar to the next picnic! Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

Husqui: the weird pyramid building was my log for the pyramid VLC. Yeah, yeah, I've done a couple of VLC's! Parsa: I've got an OC and an LA bell so far. Now I just need to make that drive up to my parents again in No Cal... Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

In my memory, they were always the way they are now... Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

Cool. Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

quote:Originally posted by The Geo Chasers: Lars: Ah...The old Zigurat Building...Didn't that used to be/or now is some kind of Government facility? What happened when security approached you? Well, my two kids and I are driving around the deserted, gigantic parking lot, finding a good spot for a shot of the building. Eventually this 10 year-old beat-to-s**t pick-up with a "Security" sign slapped on the side drives up and this guy insists we leave. It was pretty odd, since nothing seemed to be going on there, but apparently there are some government archives there? Hmm. Anyway, we got the cache despite the hassle! Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

SCAG is already out there, as Southern California Association of Governments, or something like that. Not that it matters... Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

Still thinking it's a good idea... Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

Still happening. Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

Yes. For more than a week now. Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

quote:Originally posted by The Geo Chasers: I have often wondered when geocaching, how many people _really do_ see you wandering around looking for a cache. You have to admit, it would look just a tad suspicious. Cache On! You should have seen how fast security was on me when I was wandering around the parking lot of that Government-Judicial-Pyramid-Building in Aliso Viejo. Something about the camera and gps really freaked them out... Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

I don't think I'd head off to Camp Pendelton with a gps in my hand right now... The good news is: it's a long weekend and we're heading down to Laguna! Lots of caches we haven't done... Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

Just happened to me. I'm Windows ME. I've been getting security updates all week... Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

Hey: Lakers lookin' good at halftime! Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

I would have opted for not drawing any more attention to it than it deserved. Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."

I wish I had some level of talent that would be useful website-wise, but other than taking people out for Margaritas every once in a while, I've got nothing. Charlie "One should never begin a journey by heading in the wrong direction."
