roadtrippin'

I'm just curious how the heck you get a lock from the sats INSIDE a plane. Is it because I own an etrex summit which seems to take forever in the open and newer models are now much more advanced?

Ours is set for true north.

I recently took a rock from a cache. Hey, it was one of those tumbled, shiny rocks. Sure, it was kind of cheesy but all I really want is to find these things and log my find. As for leaving stuff, we are currently on a mission to simplify our lives. I DID go pick up some things that I think kids would enjoy but I have also been grabbing DVDs and CDs that are either duplicates or that I don't want in my collection anymore.

Jeans usually (LEVIS - My madison avenue-hating friend...because they fit me the best). But I DO have a pair of EX OFFICIO pants I bought at REI (a co-op that sells all outdoor gear you can imagine). I bet this summer I break those out...if I can fit into them. Of course, many more 7 mile hikes and I bet I will be able to wear them again (middle age spread were making them a bit tight).

I thought he was dead!

I just have to wonder: With the recent decimation of state help from the federal government in the latest budget, doesn't the SC legislature have more important things to worry about like how to keep cops and firefighters on the streets than people who walk around with GPSs? I also have to wonder if maybe the person who complained to ceips bankrolls her campaigns.

Well, We recently had to take a bunch of supplies from Seattle to Arkansas. We then decided to head over to Santa Fe and head home form there. All in all, it was over 5,500 miles in 5 days. Quite a road trip. We talked about our plans for the future which includes building a teardrop trailer (because 2 middle-aged women with middle-aged spread don't fit in the back of a ford explorer sport trac) and seeing more of this beautiful country. I decided to start a blog which I call roadtrippin' and now that I have been sucked into Geocaching, I decided to use roadtrippin' as my name here. No doubt this hobby is going to fit into our travel plans very well. And now that I have regaled you all with our adventures, it is time to go find a cache or two.

Why of course. Have you ever met an honest politician who didn't believe the end justifies the means?

Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead in a cemetery. Seriously though, It is much easier to paint any group of people with a broad brush than to actually realize the diversity of the group and work from that. They've used to broad brush of people having "fun" in a cemetery and "being disrespectful" and, unfortunately, that is going to be much harder to counteract now because people hate changing preconceived notions.

OK I give. I followed the instructions in the OP but no avatar. nebbermind!

well poo.

Testing my cute avatar.

It has replaced my EQ2 gaming. I was playing that 8-10 hours a day but no more. Even thinking of cancelling my account.

I have to wonder if the people who say "you must report it because it is illegal" ever had uh, how to put this in a family forum...sexual relations that involved uh, different body parts than the usual. Until last summer, that was illegal in many states too, mostly targeted towards gays but some states also said straights couldn't do that either. Back before the 1969 Loving v Virginia decision, it was illegal for a black person to marry a white person. I am sure older people in the South will remember separate facilities for blacks as well. It was illegal for blacks to use the so-called white facilities. Would you have reported a black person for doing so? I mean, it WAS illegal at the time. To take it a little further back, would you have reported the operators of the underground railroad for ferrying slaves to freedom? That was most assuredly illegal, and some would have said they were interfering with someone else's property rights. Now if this guy was destroying public property for his crop (and I still find it odd someone would just nonchalantly walk up to someone else and say "my pot field is around the corner") nail him for that. After all, I am a treehugger. Also, I was drinking heavily by the time I was a teen (life is straightened out now, thankfully). It caused far more problems for me and my family than pot ever did.

Interesting. I never said I smoked pot so I don't see how I can be considered a pothead. I will tell you that in the past, pot was the ONLY thing that stopped my migraines in their tracks with NO side effects (unlike that crap they are pushing now which made me feel like I was having a heart attack). I saw how pot helped my 78 year old father who was dying of cancer. I guess that made him a pothead? Do you know what it is like to see a parent wither away before your eyes? It did help him eat (for awhile, until he gave up). He weighed less than 100 lbs when he died. Stupid pothead. Do you have any idea what fuels this irrational fear of cannabis? Big business of course. As soon as the pharma industry can figure out how to corner the market, pot will be legal. Also, the alcohol industry sure as heck doesn't want to see pot legalized. They have too much to lose. I encourage you to do some real research before painting anyone who opposes this current prohibitionist mentality as a pothead. And a clue: most of the government studies have been PROVEN to have been tampered with for political purposes. It should be noted that there are two different plants here. While both plants are called cannabis l. sativa, industrial hemp has an incredibly low THC level and all you would get from smoking that would be a really bad headache. Industrial hemp can be used for everything from rope to fabric to food products to biodiesel. Our first flag was made from hemp fabric. Industrial hemp fell out of favor no thanks to DuPont back in the late 40's when they received a patent for this new man-made fabric called nylon. Marijuana has its obvious uses I don't need to go into. These plants can cross-pollinate, which means a pot grower would not want an industrial hemp grower near him because it would ruin the THC levels of his plants. So if the government was actually serious about eliminating pot, why not allow farmers to grow industrial hemp? (Hint: petrochem and cotton industries would not like it). Industrial hemp is grown WITHOUT poisonous pesticides and farmers in Canada where industrial hemp can be grown legally have found that their soil is in better condition that before they planted it. Oh yeah, and my post count is so low because I just started geocaching after learning about the game on another site. I now have 2 whole finds! And sore muscles

LMAO!!!! I can't believe he'd be stupid enough to just tell a total stranger about his crop. Personally, I think caffeine and alcohol are abused much more than pot (and I just watched my dad die of cancer and pot eased the symptoms). I guess it is what do YOUR values tell you? If you think pot is bad/evil, tell the authorities. If not, live and let live.

Looking for more Geocaches to add to my list.
