  1. The Second Annual GGA Challenge Event is scheduled for October 25th. Y'all come! Set down, take a load off, cache and be humbled! Have a Dixie Day!
  2. As seen on TV The coords as shown on the program. Flash Screen: N37.54.568 W122.34.873 Little Yellow card: N37.53.00 W122.37.500 Garmin: N37.54.555 W122.36.873 I couldn't make out the numbers on the yellow Etrex or the Rinos. Enjoy! Have a Dixie Day!
  3. I'm gonna visit the GA Vets park near Cordele this weekend. Any favorite "must hit" caches in and around the Albany area? Have a Dixie Day!
  4. This one's about 30 miles due east of Birmingham. Good place to take a break from the washboard called I20. The Old Walker Place Have a Dixie Day!
  5. Bubba's Winnin's My Popes Ferry III is a cash cache. Bubba's Winnin's = Ammo box full of pennies. It ain't that unusual, just trade up or even. Whenever I find a Where's George, however, I just spend it to get it back on the path. Have a Dixie Day!
  6. quote: But it is not really a vacation cache if it is a place you go to fairly regularly. Just consider how much trouble it might be for you to correct a problem. If it would not be much of a hardship for you, then the location is OK. That's it exactly. I've a cache about 500 miles from home, but I go to the area about 6 or 7 times a year and would go within 2 weeks if I hear of a problem with the cache. IMHO, it's not just the distance, but whether it's within your normal "stomping grounds" so to speak. Geesh, I feel for the approvers. Have a Dixie Day!
  7. Can't agree with this one. Heck, I only had 5 or so caches under my belt when I placed my first one. That cache promptly got snatched by the NPS (I was 50ft inside NPS property [sigh]. My second, however, is still in place and pretty popular. Rules. I hate rules. I live by them and follow them and hate them all the same. I used to be the "rule dude" at a fairly large gov't organization. I was the guy who set policy and established administrative (i.e., red tape) procedures. I was also the guy who other people went to when they wanted new rules (policies) established. Man, in this PC world it was very hard to keep from slapping people and explaining how idiotic they were. Also, it was hard to explain to some people that you simply cannot regulate all aspects of everything at all times. The first question I would ask was, "OK, if we have that policy, how is it enforced?" That's the hard part; enforcement. Fifteen caches? Actuals? Virtuals? Locationless? Events? What counts as 15 caches was what I thought of when I first read this thread. So . . . I've gotta agree with Erik (there I go sucking up again) and say that newbies should educate themselves as much as they can before that first cache placement. I read and read and thought and thought. Seems to have worked in my case. (Well, for the second one.) Oh, a personal rule of mine is: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Seems to me that applies here. Have a Dixie Day!
  8. quote:Originally posted by BrianSnat:_Buttocks of the website_ It's where me, Mopar, Hartclimbs and Da Rebel hang out. Since 3 of the 4 are from New Jersey, I take it as an insult to the entire community of New Jersey geocachers! Hmm. As the one that's from the Deep South, I'm not sure I like where that leaves me. Does it help that I was born in Somerville? Anyhoo, I ain't worrying about name calling or some dweeb's rantings. I worry about more important stuff. Like BBQ, Fords, and 'possums. Have a Dixie Day!
  9. Feel better now? From your long description I have no idea of how your multi worked or why Erik didn't approve it. As for he & Geocaching.com not caring about children - I say pshaw. I know they do very much, so don't go there. Now that you've blown off that steam, how about explaining your cache idea a little better? Have a Dixie Day!
  10. Item sold, though not via eBay. Thanks for looking! Have a Dixie Day!
  11. Yep, armadillos are here in Georgia too. What next? Gila monsters? Y'all know why the chicken crossed the road? Well, it was to show the possum how it's done. Have a Dixie Day!
  12. On eBay: My maggie. Reserve is $150.00. Have a Dixie Day!
  13. These things pack a wallop these days. More info. Not sure about the tape; that is a poser! Have a Dixie Day!
  14. From the lack of exit wounds, and the ragged entries, that's my guess. Have a Dixie Day!
  15. I've been thinking of a Maggie color, but your price is not that much below the discounters. Even with the added accessories. If you only bought it last Friday, why not just take it back for a refund? Just tell 'em it isn't what going to work for you. Have a Dixie Day!
  16. Would make a nice cachemobile. Have a Dixie Day!
  17. Ever wonder where the good caches were in Georgia? Well, wonder no longer! The GGA held a contest for the most Outstanding caches in the state. The results are in! When visiting the Great State of Georgia, you might want to put these on your "must hit" list. Outstanding Georgia Caches Have a Dixie Day!
  18. Wild Women & Jack Daniels Have a Dixie Day!
  19. Gimme a break. Date, "I was here" and sig is all ya get from me. Sorry! The rule is that there are no rules. Have a Dixie Day!
  20. I had a cache that got totally destroyed when the area it was in was bulldozed and all the debris hauled away. After waiting about 6 months, I placed a new cache - about 100 feet away from the first. I changed the name, and the "story", and made a radical change to the trade goods. I didn't delete any of the original finds and in fact, I wouldn't delete anyone's find if they find the new one and had found the previous edition. The area it is in is hard to get to.
  21. Got a last minute early Friday appt with a client and can't do that and the BBQ meet. Maybe next time a Saturday meet? I'd love to hear how it goes! Good luck!!
  22. My best guess at the coords is: 33 31.570 81 50.886 Is that close?
  23. Cachers have a way of finding each other. I'm hoping to make it out there. I've the got the place and date, y'all settle on a time?
