4 tickets to country fest, face value of $80 for the FTF. It's a puzzle that doesn't require much in math skills (adding and subtracting) but it does require knowledge of local caches.
If I have any trouble getting approved I'll pass on the info.

17.3 miles away before the first one. And in the other direction, another 17.7 miles away.
I was withing 20ft of one two days ago but I was too lazy to actually look for it. I had just ridden 40 miles on my bike and only got 18.8 miles away from my house.

I have 4 tickets to Country Fest 2003. We won them but we're not going. I'm going to put them in a new cache for a FTF if I can find the time. If I can't find a spot for a new cache I'll place them in an existing cache by wednesday. The concert is all day saturday in Galt.

As a teacher I can tell you there are plenty of stupid questions.
Teacher: "Everyone open your book to page 232", teacher then writes the page number on the board for all to see.
Student: (usually the same student) "What page was that?"

So if you step on a flower you damage the environment. What if a deer eats the flower? What if deer graze on grasses in a medow? Are they damaging the environment? Nature is in a constant state of flux, live things die and dead things feed live things. (Enter Elton John singing "The circle of life")
Stepping on a flower doesn't damage the environment. It's just that flowers are prettier when they're not squashed.

Good job Pepper. I was telling Marky how we met chasing a FTF prize last summer.
Good job Marky and Joanie on 1500.

I gained weight geocaching, something in the 20lb range. I had to get back on the bike to get a real workout.
I've lost about 10 of it, the next 10 will be harder, and the next 10 after that will require some big miles on the bike.

There was a local cacher who hunted without a gps who used to leave these as a signature trade item. I took one when I came across it.

No info from me. I'm not going to be able to make it to mammoth like I wanted. Conflict of dates.

Hey Fresno folk, I was interviewed for a geocaching article in the Fresno Bee. It was about a week ago and the reporter said he'd mail me the article. I'd just like a heads up from the fresno locals so I can look for the article online.

I can see 100 in a day. You can't linger at caches that are hard to find. You have to figure, if you can't find it in a few minutes, it's time to move on.

We got around 38 in one day with 5 or 6 dnf's. But, we had to kids with us to make sure we couldn't go too fast. It was about 8 hours worth of caching.

I've never had to worry about batterys going dead from not holding the charge after a week or so. I have 20+ AA batteries rotating between the kids and my toys. Digital Cameras, GPS's, gameboys, FSR radios, CD players and Mini Disk players..... but lately I can't find my rechargables.
They've ended up in the cordless mouse, various remotes, and lately my wife's wet mop thing that has a battery powered squirter.
Time for more AA batteries.

As micro containers go, I prefer tins to film cannisters. Especially for urban micros where you can attach a magnet to the container and stick them someplace creative.
Out in the woods, I've found them and they're ok, but I think decon containers work better.

muggle (MUHG-uhl) noun1. An ordinary person, one with no magical powers.
2. A clumsy or unskilled person.
[From a series of children's novels by JK Rowling.]
"Of course, the team has had less magic than a muggle this year, with a
3-9 record, even with its new star player."
Lloyd Grove; The Reliable Source; The Washington Post; Nov 27, 2001.
"If a muggle stumbles on a cache, they sometimes take all the contents of
the cache since they are uninformed on geocacher etiquette."
Jessica Valdez; Players Try to Unearth Hidden Treasures in Game of
Geocache; The Sun (Baltimore, Maryland); Apr 17, 2003.
I'm on the word a day list too and I was surprised when they used geocaching as one of the example usages of the word.
