From Lakeside we go: Hwy 67 to Santa Ysabel, to Hwy. 79, to S-2, to Hwy. 78. You don't need to go down Banner Grade, go that way, much easier! Splashette Hey! Going down the grade is half the fun!

I'm planning on heading out to the Camp-out early Friday, picking up caches as I go from Poway to Borrego and home sometime around noon Sunday. I have room in in my Yukon for 1 or 2 people and their gear or we could convoy out. Anyone interested? Jeff / drexotic

Have you seen this See Google Earth 48 51 27.69 N 10 12 19.21 E Jeff / drexotic That thing is 175' long! I have seen movies that show how radiation can do that. I'm pretty sure it's a termite (or some close relative). I wonder if they scan or photograph the images used for GE ?!? http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/20...found_in_g.html Very Cool !!!

I just saw John&Jess's log for High Above Cabrillo Harbor Very cool!!! What a wonderful adventure to start Life's Big Adventure. Congratulations again Jeff / drexotic

Congratulations to all who hit big numbers during the summer!!! I've been out of Geocaching commission for the last few months but should be more active now that things have settled back to (more) normal. Jeff / drexotic

WOW! Impressive one and all! Jason . . . Doin' it in style! Dave . . . Just unbelievable! You guys are my heroes!

Way to go!

Did you know that hummer nests are made mostly of spider web?

I'd love to make that trip, log the caches and bag the peak but Flagman's experience is a bit frightening! I'd like to hear from a couple of those who have made the trip to get a realistic evaluation of what the day would be like. If done one way it looks like the total miles would be shorter but there is no caching provisions (read that WATER) for the trip down. How about it? Flagman? TRViolin? Slabyfam? What do you think? Jeff

Anyone want to do Black Beard's Grotto this morning? Low tide is at 9:27 am! I'll be ready to go by 8:45ish! Jeff

Take a look at this one! I bought it at REI. The price was good compared to similar packs and I love it. It has a light weight frame that supports the pack on a mesh that keeps your back dry. I bought the larger size (figured it doesn't have to be full), it has a place for a hydration sleeve and access to the main compartment from top or bottom. Jeff

LAX was hidden by James Coburn (aka Iryshe) Iryshe's number is 2. Does Iryshe look familiar to anyone? Ask Cornerstone4. Sorry to drag this up again, I'm just getting caught up. (Don't you hate it when you go to your last read file and there are 4 pages of the thread that are new?!?) Will someone tell me how to tell what someones number is? Thanks, Jeff

There's no single answer in our case. Some of the things that we've done include:Punt Sign the wet log with a pencil Sign the wet log with a pen and hope it doesn't run Replace the log with a new dry one w/new plastic bag Dry the log in the sun It all depends on the circumstances. If you keep the little silica bags that you find in the bottle with your vitamin tablets you can place them in a small ziploc bag with the log and it will be dry for the next visitor and may stay dry a lot longer. Jeff

Wow! Get busy for a couple of days and look what happens! Congratulations everyone! Amazing numbers!

I just saw This Cache While reading This Thread Sounds as if it's just the kind of cache you are looking for! Jeff

Here's to the pioneers of Geocaching (again!) Anyone know who was San Diego's first Geocacher? Jeff

I did . . . and for a couple of days after that! Jeff

I've had the pleasure of studying, collecting and working on snakes for a good chunk of my life. They are fascinating creatures and we are both blessed and cursed to have their company here in San Diego. The comments I would add to the above discussion on snake bite venomations are: 1) Stay calm. Freaking out never helps anything.! 2) Get help. If you are up in MTRP get on the phone and get a helicopter ride out of there! Well worth the cost. The time you save may save a finger, a hand, or your life! Lastly. Most snake bites are provoked by stupid actions . . . like that in the photo of the geocacher restraining the Red Rattle Snake seen in these forums. Don't try to catch the snake and don't try to kill it. That's how you are most likely to get bit. My 5 cents Jeff / drexotic

Way to go you all! I think Habu started Geocaching just 60 days before I did! (I seem to be lagging behind ) Jeff
