This isn't at all geocache related but just thought I'd share. I was diagnosed with terminal cancer at 19, and given less than a year. I am 28 now ( and cancer free), I wear all of my scars from the ordeal with pride. I beat testicular cancer and have a larger one ball tat on my right arm for all the world to see. Hope I didn't offend and I really hope you are doing well. ~Rich

I am about to place my first underwater cache and have my fingers crossed that it will stay dry. I got full permission from several different sets of authorities to do this. The parks department asked me what it was made out of, so I described my 3 inch pvc contraption to him, His next question was " so it looks like a pipe bomb" so I had to do some back peddaling there. Anyways I sealed one end with pipe cement and the other is a thread cap. The kicker is on the threaded end we ran a small amount vaseline through the threads. In the testing it worked like a champ. So I'm hoping if cachers take the time for some mile maintenance as they go it should do fine. Now my only real worry about this would be the liability issue. Am I liable if someone gets hurt trying to access this cache underwater. ~Rich
