Be sure to check out the fire tower near Colourful Balls! You're not supposed to climb it though, we only saw the sign after we came down.. really.. truely.. (well, ok.. maybe not..)

Puzzle are evil. And I love them. I spent a month on this one. The guy had to start giving hints out as the days wore on. But he'd put them in Morse code, hidden text, other things.. It was quite fun racing to solve this one. But they're not for everybody... Sleepless in Ottawa

I don't understand this statement. Jeremy is the lowest common denominator

Excellent Idea on the naming convention. Couldn't hurt at all..

Well hey, I 'liked' the Blair Witch project. A year after it came out I was down in Mexico and I was in this market somewhere and these guys were talking about it in Mexican and I caught the words "Blair Witch" and "Skelato", and other words of that nature and I piped up "You guys talking about the Blair Witch Project? I thought that movie was great!" And they kinda looked at me like I was a freak (I am used to this), and said in broken english.. "Ah no, is horrible what happened to those poor peoples!" Ya see, they thought it was a snuff film.. Seriously. Even when I told them "Naw, they are A-ok, I saw them giving out an MTV video award six months ago, they are all still alive!".. They told me: "No senoir, the witch. She gots them!".... I bought a shark tooth and left....

Yeah someone posted it above. I DL'd it, I liked it. Blair witch all the way! Funny how we both 'borrowed' the opening text premise. I was looking around for other video type caches but didn't see any until someone posted yours. I was going to do teh snot bubbel scene in mine as well as those crazy little stick guys, but instead decided to just stick with the Jason thing.. I can't wait to make another one, what did you use for yours? I did mine with a mini-dv vidcam and edited in Adobe premiere and Photoshop.

Man that is fast, who's your host?

Hey thanks for that link. I was looking for other movie-type caches along the same lines!

Probably not a sequel any time soon, but there's another project in the works for the spring involving Bigfoot, space aliens and the trailer park boys. And that one will have a script! It's a sort of sequal to my Bigfoot's Bionic arm cache, which will explain how he lost his arm (and the other one presumably).

The snot bubble was talked about quite a bit, decided it had already been done, as was the girl 'running away and falling down' and the SCary movie bit 'losing more and more of her clothes along the way' scene. Both DECLINED! (Oh well. Had to keep that PG rating.) There is a scene early on where 'Tripper' shoves Khanya out of the way in his effort to flee and makes her fall down but that's as close as we got.

Who says you can't mix Jason from Friday the 13th with Star Wars

Two weeks ago I got a bunch of geocaching buddies out in the woods at night during a full moon and filmed a quick movie with my mini DV camera. It was way too dark (but we did our best with some 1,000,000 candle power spot beams), there was no script (but I did have a shot storyboard and loose plot), and we had problems but we got enough footage in 3 hours for me to splice something together. It went live this past weekend and I'd thought I'd post it here to see what people think. I'm no film-maker, but I am a movie fan, and hopefully there are some things about it that geocachers will find funny. It's a flick about a night caching expedition that goes wrong and the cache-box gets moved to a new location by the end and that's what prospective geocachers must solve by watching the movie to find the actual live cache. Check it out, it's a 150MB download with 2 sites that hopefully evereyone will not hit at once . It may take as long as one hour to download. There is a freeware app listed at the bottom of the cache page if anyone has probs using MS media Player to view it. Enjoy... The Voorhees cache - GCKYKY

I'll say, they'd probably write a GREAT log if they could remember what cache it was after doing 50 in a day or what have you(One of the perils of powercaching). I'd love to read 'em. I for the record get tired of the "cache 567 of 592 on the day" stuff too. Unless they are doing it for their own book-keeping.

One word to all of you cut and pasters.... "oregon" Now he knows how to write a dang log.. --------------Snip----------------- "February 9 by oregone (505 found) How frustrating it is to be within 200 feet of the cache and have a busy freeway in your path. Luckily for me, i've lived in three different places in Salem so i remembered the park this cache is located in after looking across Hwy 22 for about thirty seconds. I don't remember being able to park so close to that part of the park, so i ended up parking way on the other side of the railroad tracks next to the Marion County Correctional Facility chain-gang. Too bad i'm not a sexy voluptous blonde girl, otherwise I would have had an impromptu car-washing. after i found the cache and made the trade i had a few hours to kill, so i decided to go visit one of the many colleges i've gone to, Chemeketa Community. Now that was depressing. A whole parking lot full of cars and nobody in the halls but maintenance personell and remodelling contractors. Where is Elaine Konovolov? Shannon Stanley? Where was Jocelyn, that cute girl from Saipan? And that hot teachers aide from the statistics class that I got kicked out of? I missed these girls sorely as I wandered aimlessly through Building 3 like a ghost haunting an old haunt. There was this one girl in my Chemistry class that was 27-years-old. She was an old lady to me back then." -----------------Snip----------------

I hate cut and paste online logs. They suck. But hey, whatever floats your boat. Some peopel don't even log online, (I think that's cool for some reason)..

That's why you should only geocache at night and be decked out in black rubber when doing so. Also going with geo-freinds that you can out-run and really don't know who you are in real life because you're wearing a mask can also come in quite handy when the turd hits the spinning blades and you're confronted by these security/law-enforecement/property resident types...

I never stuck my head in that thread because it had like, way too many pages to catch up on. What's the fuss? (Now I'll have to go see what I've been missing). Being a premium member, I don't like the idea of premium member only areas. Why exclude anyone when they have something to contribute? I enjoy most off-topic posts as I do the on-topic ones.

I hope they nail that little b@5t@rd too. What's the world coming too. Kid needs some shock therapy.

Man what an interesting post. I hope they bring the guy in soon.

Close to work and here i am without my GPS.

Cacher piles.

Sure post a note. It could say, "GREAT PLACE TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS!" I pulled into such a parking lot on a cache hunt once to check a map and had some guy open my (unlocked) passenger door and get in. One look at the doumbfounded expression on my face and he got right out again. I lock my doors now. To each his own.

What about caches named with incrementing numbers like these ones ? They all belong to a friend so I'm not slagging them. It's a series. I think he slags himself for lack of naming imagination sometimes<grin>. (hey, it's his favorite drink, what cha gonna do?)

I dropped him an email but I never thought about the Tag's copy! Excellent idea! I always keep those for my own in case the bug goes awol and I need the tracking number but I should be writing them down somewhere in any event. Perhaps the owner will shoot me the spare tag. THanks!

So one of my caches got muggled the other day. They littered the ground with everything. There was a TB in it and the plush toy survived, but they took the tag (probably hanging around some deviant kid's neck like a dog-tag). So, what to do.. It's not my TB but I put it in there last on a maintenance trip. My first thought was to order a new tag and replace it since it was in my cache and actually retreived, but after reading about home-made tags (they were in a PIRATE TB tag thread) part of me thinks this might be viable as well, since it already has a tracking number and is in the system, etc. What has been done before when the toy survives but the tag does not? (I did a quick search but did not get anything that applied right away).
