  1. Well I think we got the pig herded off. Somebody lock that bathroom window so he don't climb out again.

    OH MAN! I knew there was a reason it was locked.... Sorry :P:unsure::laughing:

    Why was Wanda trying to get into the Men's Room, anyway? :P

    Well, Umm, Errr, Ummm I'm still trying to see what all they have wrote about me in there, but I was so busy hearing this odd sound and seen the window closed and figured that was the reason for the smell, I unlocked and opened the window and umm yeah.....

  2. I have my own Briansnat shrine set up at home. It sits right betweent he water heater and the washing machine. Every time I hit the rinse cycle I'm reminded of him.... and when it's agitating it's just like he's there with me.

    :):unsure::laughing::P:P:)

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I really was going to be a "good girl" like I was told to be, but THAT is just too funny yo ignore.... Sorry....

  3. "Defacement of Currency

     

    Defacement of currency is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Under this provision, currency defacement is generally defined as follows: Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined not more than $100 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

     

    Defacement of currency in such a way that it is made unfit for circulation comes under the jurisdiction of the United States Secret Service."

     

    This is enough reason NOT to do it.

    Same thing I was fixing to post......

  4. If you're planning to take a roadtrip this weekend, you could always head south to Dallas for GeoWoodstock.

    I'm still working on that..... I've asked 10 times now lol.

    Now we're having to wait til Saturday when Jerry gets off his manditory overtime, to take out ;)

     

    Edited to add:: Just dawned on me I've been spelling Vacation wrong....

  5. If you get as far north as Minneapolis I'd suggest you swing east into Wisconsin, around the Eau Claire area. It's about an hour from the twin cities on I94. I haven't been caching there yet (hopefully will next week), but the Wisconsin Geocachers Assoc. message boards has a current topic with recommended caches in the Eau Claire area. Heading over there would also give you a change of scenery from what you'd have seen coming north from OK.

    OH COOL! I'll talk to Jerry about this!!! I found out we're taking off Friday night/Saturday Morn (he gets off at 12, 1 or 2 am on Fridays/Saturday). So, we're going to be driving a while before we start caching....

  6. As a former Okie, I suggest you head west. Go to New Mexico and Colorado. If you make it to Taos, NM (wonderful place) make sure to go to Michael's Kitchen.

    I've been thinking about going this way as well. It took us 3 months to decide towards the north lol, so we're have to keep west in mind for another time.

  7. Lots of women cachers in SW Ohio, though of course they are outnumbered by men. Or maybe, not so much outnumbered, but we are not able to invest the time that the men do.

     

    Before I go caching on a weekday, I make breakfast, pack lunches, start washer, take son to school, move wet wash to dryer, do some cleaning, make essential phone calls,and who knows what else. (Clean fridge, mop floor, scrub bathrooms, etc.) And somewhere in there I have to download waypoints and print off cache pages (although I am trying to go paperless) THEN I get to go out. But I have to be back at school to pick up son by 3pm, then there might be TKD, always homework, make dinner, fold laundry, finish up some chores, pay bills maybe, and find time to get back on computer to log finds. And this is only SOME of what I have to accomplish. Oh, and husband and son like to enjoy a few minutes of my company if I can fit them in!

     

    And I am not bashing men. My husband does dishes every night, vacuums the whole house, and does all the yard work. And he encourages me to go caching. He says the dust can wait for a rainy day.

     

    But I do think certain traditional roleplaying keeps women from caching as much as their male counterparts.

    yup I have to agree with ya there!

    this is cool I am still getting replies on this :) . I'll check it for a while, again

  8. I'll be going away for a MO Women's Outdoor event to be held in southern Missouri. I plan on driving and caching the whole way. Since I will be by myself I can take as much time as I want! :)Hardwire has created a bookmark of all the caches along I-44 from Missouri to Oklahoma. This was really helpful in finding caches along the route. Maybe you will have luck in finding the same thing along your route. Have fun and keep on cachin' :D

    that's kinda what I'm hopeing, but haven't looked much lol

    I just looked at the list and I've done Most of these :cry:

  9. One cache that many people have gone waaaaaayyy out of their way for is Mingo which is the oldest active cache in the US. See the cache page for more details on that. I have not cached in the area, but know a few who have.

     

    Old caches always make my list of places to go.

     

    I'll have to keep this one in mind, if nothing else it could be one I hit on the next road trip vaction....

  11. Geocaching is such a cool sport - you can find the coolest places right around your neighborhood that you didn't know about, and while traveling, you can find those neat places that other people want to bring you to.

     

    The thread Caches Along A Route, A technical discussion may help you decide, but in the end there's really no way to tell if the cache you're going to find is a marvelous little hidden piece of history or just a run-of-the-mill-typical-cache-with-nothing-special-about-the-location.

     

    So for now, try out the caches along a route, and read up on the logs for the cache page - and see how complimentary and verbose people are. That can be somewhat indicative of the enjoyment factor of a cache.

    Thanks. My Husband has been doing the caching along a route. I just wanted to see if anyone knew of any "off the top of their heads" they could tell me about that really stuck out.

  12. ... As it stands right now we're just taking out on one day and driving North from here. Do as many caches as we can (on the way) until we get bored/tired/ or it's real late... then driving as far as we can and get a hotel, resting up some and starting ALL over!!! :cry::):D:D Doing this for atlest 2 days/3nights and then heading home after the 2nd or 3rd night.

    While gone I'll get to see some states I have NEVER been to! Kinda lame... I've only Been to Missouri (lived there as well), Oklahoma (live there now), Arkansas, Texas and Kansas. So there's ALOT of states to see still yet! lol Anyone have any intersting trips/vactions like this coming or have done? What was the best part? The trip itself, the caches, or getting to see the new states?? Any suggestions for caches I can keep in mind???? I know Minnesota (around St. Paul/Minneapolis area) is one place we have in mind......

  13. sometimes when this happens I bite myself....well, ya know.... then I take out my handy dany note card pile. Put my name the date and my smiley sticker on a quarter of a note card and do a dash/drop.... I usually kick myself because I see ALOT of COOL stuff that if I'd wait long enough (but that takes up WAY too much caching time...) I coulda traded for. I usually make sure I place my card with the log book when I do this

  14. YOU may be offended to find a Bible in a cache and you may think it promotes religion.

     

    The next GUY may be offended at a McDonalds toy as he may think it promotes McDonalds.

     

    PERSONALLY, I am offended when people put things in there marked www.geocaching.com.

    I mean, all they are doing is trying to advertlize that Jeremy guy's web site.

     

     

    :smile::):D:):):D:D

    It wouldn't bother me as much to fina a Bible, as it would the tracts
