    anyone got nice simple directions to the campout....yes i know. just follow the little arrow on the gpsr....but which is the quicker route:

     

    8 east or julian and down banner grade?

     

    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!

    :ph34r::laughing::unsure::laughing:;) Hey! Going down the grade is half the fun! :ph34r:<_<:anibad::laughing::ph34r:

    Congratulations to John&Jess! Although methinks they deserve a contratulations that is not normally seen on this thread! :D I knew they went away for the weekend, so I checked their logs this morning to see what kind of trouble they may have gotten into! As I read through their logs, it became obvious that there was more on the schedule this weekend that just caching!

     

    Way to go you two!

     

     

    Very cool!!! Congratulations!!!!

    That thing is 175' long! I have seen movies that show how radiation can do that. :D

     

     

    I'm pretty sure it's a termite (or some close relative). I wonder if they scan or photograph the images used for GE ?!? :D

    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?

    :D I just got a new pair of shoes and just need to find a new backpack before then.

     

     

    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.

    GoodDogSD was a very early cacher. His number is 6.

    GDannyboy's number is 410.

     

    My number is 8722.

    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

    Wet Logs

    Hi, I was just curious, when we find a wet log paper. What should we do and what do most people do? Such as we were at the bridge one the other day and there was water in the canister and the papers were wet. what do most people do in this case? Thanks Greg

    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.

    Happy Anniversary Everyone!!

     

    On May 3rd, 2000 a container of goodies was hidden by a someone outside of Portland, Oregon - in celebration of the removing of Selective Availability. By May 6th the cache was visited twice, and logged in the logbook once...

     

    Here's to the pioneers of Geocaching (again!)

     

    Anyone know who was San Diego's first Geocacher?

    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
