Rats! from what I can deduce from BBC News and Google Earth
about the compound where bin Laden was taken down and out,
there's no Geocache hides at all within twenty miles of the
site in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Too bad, I was hoping to plan
an event there as a follow-up to FlagMan's M*A*S*H shindig.
From what I can surmise from a description and a couple of
small photos posted on BBC News, I make my guess that the
fenced property located at N34 10.161, E73 14.552 is the
point of interest. No Google-Earth street view in Abbottabad,
darn it so take a look and make your own assessment.
How interesting it is that the compound is located within
spitting distance from Pakistan's Military training center.

Hmm, maybe Janie and Jodi would head over as an advanced party
to place hides here and there to lend support to a Pakistani
Geocaching Event.
If the SEALs were still there maybe......
Can't resist a uniform, huh Jodi?
Maybe we could wear a Burka.........or one of those white Hazzmat suits we had for the
Glowstick Smackdown. Surely , we could go unoticed and start a power trail.........maybe the ET Highway...Pakistan version.
You know how cachers are, they go anywhere!!

W-e-l-l ... you've got the GZ (pardon the expression) coordinates.
On the other hand I have the impression that cornsilk blondes are
reather uncommon in Pakistan. ... come t' think of it, cornsilk
blondes are rather uncommon in the redneck tri-cities as well.
I can see it now ... "Does this burka make my butt look big?"
Kiss-kiss,

Harmon, where do you get the 'cornsilk' stuff.............you always told me my hair looked like a haystack! (especially when caching)!!
You crack me up....."Does this burka make my butt look big".......I just have to laugh! That will never die.............
Still...........I bet there are lots of dirt roads in Pakistan that are ripe for a power trail.........we could call it, The Burka Boogie.........
I'll have to confer with Jodi...........

I'm fairly new to geocaching but am beyond hopelessly addicted. I noticed that a trail behind my house is next to barren of geocaches and I've been working on camo'ing 15-20 cache containers for a two mile trail loop. I was wondering if anybody knows how well does Gaff tape hold up for camo. I noticed that Ritz Crackers uses some kind of green/brown textured paint for some of his bikeNcache series and I was wondering if anybody knows what he uses? Also, if some of the caches are handicap accessible but the overall trail is only foot and bike friendly, should I rate it based on the length of the entire trail (2.5ish) or individually based on if some of the caches have nearby parking?
It's a trail loop smack dab in the middle of the 56 and I hope to publish it before mothers day, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I made a passport that can be used to attach to a trackable. With a fuller explanation than what is provided on an actual travel bug, hopefully the bug will stay in play longer. Also, it makes it more exciting for those who help it travel when they see a log of where it's been... kind of like an actual geocache! Here is the link to my passport that I've uploaded on to my iDisk in PDF format. It is meant to be folded in to a quarter sheet size booklet and a hole punch can be made in the upper left corner of a folded booklet to attach to the trackable.

If a cache is ever placed at those coordinates, I'll be sure to take you along and to let the caching veteran lead ahead if the newbie.
