I just read three logs from different cachers in different caches that I am planning to hit in Oregon this weekend. The commonality they share is that they are stating if you take a TB you should leave a TB. Since when did this become the accepted thought. I have always understood that TB were meant to be moved freely about the nation....cache to cache....sea to glorious sea....within the goal given of course. Must have been snoozing when everyone decided this one. T-Bone

I have a collector's item Remington Nylon 66 .22 rifle I want to trade for a GPSMAP 60 or Vista Cx. Any takers in Oregon's Willamette Valley? Eric

Moderator: Please allow this to post here, since not as many read the GPS in Ed forum. I'm looking for an east coast cacher/7th grade middle school teacher to race TB's across the country to Gervais, OR. The idea is to place a cache on or near the school grounds with a small lock box TB with items unique to our areas and send it off with the goal of crossing the country and landing in our School Cache. As it moves and people log its movement you would track it on a billboard map! Lots of lesson potential, and I am more than willing to absorb others ideas. Send mail or PM if you are interested. This will be our second race...lost the last one dry.gif . As a matter of fact it is still on its way to Leominster, MA. Eric Tuck Gervais Middle School Gervais, OR

Sheesh....Lep....chill out. You would turn the guy in?? What a schmuck. I could understand if he was trying to make a buck by stealing the data to sell, but to share with cachers (even if it is inefficient) is a little, well, schmucky! [] And Kwitzats.....I wouldn't use your CD either for virus concerns, but if I did...pics of awesome cache views, videos, urls, are all fun. Just avoid copyrighted material.

Ah, I was just kidding. It's not the first repeat topic, nor will it be the last. Let's see, I'm sure I could come up with something clever. You know you're addicted if...uhm.... Ok, I still got nothing. You know your addicted to the forums if you Markwell the newbies!

It's official...I'm an idiot. I was in Mozilla at the time. Just used IE....COOL!

Huh?? Tried it...nothing happened except all was selected.

Seems ya might be a bit sensitve yer self with all the complaining ya seem to do. Lighten up :-)

112.) Terrain rated 4.5 in Tennessee is a 2.5 in Oregon.....unless it's summer in Tennessee. Then the humidity jacks that bad boy to a respectable 4.5.

Yay! I've been markwelled! Hokiemary! Keep on posting! It's no big deal when people point out other posts. Maybe they were just letting you in on a post you might like.

If you mention that there are many wonderful things about caching, both large and small; some killjoy will tell you how he or she hates micros and lamp posts and how the ammo can is the only way to go. Hehehe.....I hate micros! But couldn't agree more! BTW.....Bump

My class created a TB as part of a cooperative project between two schools. It is currently in this cache in Oklahoma. Its mission is to travel from Oregon to Leominster, MA. The contents of the package are of a timely manner (the end of school in May 2006), but it would be nice to visit as many states as possible on my journey. Students from these schools will be monitoring the movements closely! Please help us out and get him going again....Eastward. You can reference the TB here. Thanks for your help! Mr. Tuck and Gervais Middle School students. p.s. I posted to Great Plains as well.

Mas! Por Favor!

Keep'em goin'!

Holy Crap Batman! This is some heavy stuff for geocaching! Are you kidding me? Can we get a "This is a Whine Free Zone" posted somewhere? I wonder if Vlad got permission to use that pic for his Av? And I doubt, Adrenalynn, that Transylvanian copy laws are the same here as in Transylvania since that is the origin of the aforementioned whiner. Seems to me that the perp of this heinous act is just trying to make a cool cache and liked Vlad's stuff, and borrowed.....as another post mentions....what a compliment in its sincerest form! Just my .02 T-Bone

Most recently I used TB's to act as liason between our school in Oregon and another in Leominster, MA. Rather large TB's...more like mini-caches... on a race across the states. We received the one from MA just this Monday. Check them out here and here . I have another teacher who is asking my electives class to hide mini-caches about the campus for her class to locate using GPSr's and compass skills. Given the opportunity I would love to start and inter-district caching club, but funding is not possible for the neccessary transportation. In the mean time, I keep begging and looking for new ideas. I am currently looking into using them to map the school grounds :-)

And this is why Geocaching began in Oregon! They don't call us Ducks fer nuthin'! We cache rain or rain, and cache even more when there is a sunbreak!

I would love to do some GPS activities with students but haven't the funds to do so. Want to help out? You can donate any old GPS to our school (check us and me out on the web for verification) and we will send you a donation form so you can use it as a tax write off. Click My School to check us out. You can find me on the staff directory, Eric Tuck, and shipping would be made to the middle school. Did I leave anything out? Thanks fo taking the time to check it out!

This is Toby Teeth. The best companion I ever had next to Maddawg my daughter. Oddly we didn't want him at first. A friend asked us to watch him as well as her doberman for a while until she got settled into her new home, and we obliged. He soon broke out of our backyard with Harley the doberman who happened to have a thing for cats. In the two hours they were free...I was at work.... Harley managed to kill five cats. A woman two blocks over tried to intervene with one and placed her hands into the carnage and recieved a few stitches. Off to the pound they went. Toby however was only guilty by association. Their owner decided that she had had it with the two of them and was going to have them put down. Harley was a sweet dog...just hated cats, but he was 12 years old, had bad hips, and cysts on the inner thighs of both back legs. It was probably about his time anyway. As for Toby, he was only a pup! How could she do it??? She asked if wanted him, but we didn't.... until we went down to check on him. He looked at me like all he wanted to do was come home. I let him. As punishment we paid $200.00 in fines, had to keep a sign posting that a "vicious" dog was on the premises, as well as a bright orange collar with the word "danger" all around it. HAHAHAHA....Hardly! Anyway, we sadly said, "goodbye" to Harley, and took Toby home. What an amzing companion he is. He never leaves my side, and I often find him pushing up through my legs begging for a scratch. On the trail he is excellent. No need for a leash unless I see another dog or hiker ahead or behind. More for their sense of safety than worrying about what Toby might do (death from begging). He never tries to run ahead unless I toss a ball , and then only if I give him the "go on." He sleeps at the foot of my daughter's bed nightly as she has an active imagination. She just likes his company. After she is sound asleep he sneaks out of the room to spend some timie with the miss and I until we go to bed when, without command, he heads back into Maddawg's room for the remainder of the night. What a guy! Thsi was only supposed to be the posting of a pic! Sheesh! p.s. We have a beagle named Bailey too. She is wonderful in the house, but rarely goes caching because all she does is tug on the leash wanting to find the rabbit that left that scent. You'll be glad to know she has never missed a trip to the beach with us though!

OMG....those were great! Too bad the mod didn't just move it to "off-topic."

Post them to the cache page that you found! Then burn'em to CD and delete!

By far my favorite and completely sums up many of my experiences! Thanks!

Ummm....uhhh....maybe don't search for that user's cache hides??!?!?!?
