misguided one

Ah Yes, Abandoned Cache, I have fond memories of that cache. Not exactly what I would call an interesting place to visit.

Here is a question for the Puget Sound Geocachers. What is the dirtiest (trash wise) park in the Puget Sound? List up to 5, with the dirtiest first. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

Most of the time I don't take anything from caches that I find. If I take Lost One (my 6 yr. old) with me, he always wants to trade for something. For this reason I have created the "Team Misguided Trade Pack". It contains a couple of things from the Lost One, and several things from Wander Lost (wife) and myself. I use a heavy poly bag to put everything in, and then heat seal it shut so the contents stay together. So even if I don't take anything I always try to leave a "Trade Pack", to show that I was there. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

Don't you just hate it when you get all dressed up in your fancy GPS garb, and someone shows up at the event cache wearing the exact same model. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

Many thanks to Lil Devil, and all who helped to put together GPX Spinner. After a week of reading through the instructions for Plucker and a couple of hours of minor (very minor) frustration, I was able to get everything to work. Now I don't know how I managed without it. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

I usually won't log a DNF unless I've spent more than 2 hours and 2 trips searching for a cache. Most of the time I will post a note that I attempted to find it. The reason I use the note feature is because I secretly hope the cache owner will take the time to send me a hint that is better than the one on the cache page. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

...for the rest of the winter. Team Misguided is headin' for Texas on the 14th of Feb. Anyone that has a bug that needs to move that general direction, you can bring them to the Feb 11th. WSGA meeting. Or leave them in the Lake Killarny Travel Bug Resort, before Thursday night Feb 13th. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

quote:Originally posted by Renegade Knight:... I certainly can't come up with all the means someone will find to get themselves hurt, maimed or killed. People are creative when it comes to this stuff. Just today I heard a story about a couple who had been married for 3 weeks. The guy calls his wife at work and says that their dog just bit him, and that he was going to kill the dog. The woman rushes home, when she opens the door she finds the dog lying on the floor with some pretty severe wounds. Then she turns around and sees her husband,near death, lying on the floor in a pool of blood. The guy had apparently been beating off the attacking dog with the stock of his LOADED rifle, when the gun went off. The man died, but the dog was OK. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

Take a look at the WSGA's website. We have put together some guidedlines for placing caches in Washington's State Parks. While these guidelines are not approved by the state parks at this time, I feel they are a good starting point to build on.

Congratulations!!!!!! I hit my 100th a couple weeks ago while doing The Bremerton Cache Machine. It was a lot of fun, we hit 38 caches in about 10 hours. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

The WSGA (Washington State Geocaching Association) has begun its efforts to get guidelines set for the Washington State Parks. We are still waiting for confirmation of a date for our first meeting. I will be happy to let you know how things go. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat,tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt.

I voted March 3rd, 'cause its my birthday. ___________________________________________ It's not what you fling, It's the FLING itself.

I see that nothing has been done as of yet, to add Benchmarks to the type of cache selections. It sure would be handy.

I selected "A few feet of the trail..." I you can't find a suitable hiding spot within 5 feet of an existing trail, then the cache should be placed somewhere else. ___________________________________________ It's not what you fling, It's the FLING itself.

I've been known to search for more than 4 hours, and on several different days. It is funny how the darn things get moved, and the coordinates don't seem to get updated, by the cache owners. ___________________________________________ It's not what you fling, It's the FLING itself.

Just want to clarify 1 or 2 things. As the chair for the WSGA advocacy committee, we haven't obtained any official guidelines from WA State Parks as of yet. The guidelines on the the WSGA website are the product of the members of WSGA. We are in the first contact stages with WSP. As we work with the WSP, expect changes to the guidelines. Organizing a group like the WSGA, is a lot of work. Keep in mind that organized groups tend to have a louder voice when dealing with government agencies.

Seth, I'm sure you'll agree that http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=39525 was a very cool Halloween-themed cache, but it should probably be archived instead of temporarily disabled....." OK, I know that graverobber should be archived, but I'm working on turning it to a micro. I should have it re-activated in January. ___________________________________________ It's not what you fling, It's the FLING itself.

My wownderful and loving wife (Wander Lost) has managed to convince me that a mere 2 hour drive in good weather could possably turn into a 3+ hour drive in the fog that is hanging around the Olympia, WA area. Good luck to anyone that ventures out this evening. ___________________________________________ It's not what you fling, It's the FLING itself.

Plastic Stinks. All plastic products emit an odor of some sort. No matter how clean you think a container is, the chemicals used for making various plastics "out gas" over time. Humans don't have sensitive enough noses to pick up the scents coming from a plastic container, but alot of varmits are able to. My advice, use metal containers whenever possible. ___________________________________________ It's not what you fling, It's the FLING itself.

We all wear top secret "body armor", reversed engineered from the alien technology stored at Area 51. The material makes the shape of the wearers body virtually undetectable, unless you happen to own a pair of the special binoculars, you would never know if someone wearing these garments was standing right next to you. UH OH!, what was that, ... THEY're coming,... I've said to much,... gotta go! Don't repeat this information to any one, or THEY'll be after you, too.

Gee, That didn't take very long.
