What's going on with the consignment idea? I'm planning a San Jose CITO event and depending on participation, I'd like to be able to sell these there. ------------------------------------- Becky Davis San Jose, CA Buy Tupperware for cache containers.

I'm working on finding an appropriate spot for a CITO event in the South Bay, specifically, San Jose. I work for the City and can probably get litter-picking-up tools and trash bags for free. I'm working with the Anti-Litter program to identify the park or creek that most needs our help. Who's with me? ------------------------------------- Becky Davis San Jose, CA Buy Tupperware for cache containers.

quote:I'm sure that the snail punch in the South Bay is the work of a single cacher or caching team. The only punched snails I've seen have only been in Marky's film canister caches (not implying any connection to Marky), of which Tammy has laid a few, but I don't read every page in the standard logs so may have missed some. Marky, as one of the first to find, do you recall if you saw the snail punch in the Tree Bee micro? Oh, and I knew that SnailTeam wasn't the snail punch team and didn't mention it as their M.O. is to leave empty snail shells in caches, but forgot the fact that a cacher 3000 miles away might not know that!! I've forgotten several times to put the cache details and contact info on cache logsheets myself. Perhaps this is a lesson to be learned by all. GeoRocks and Mopar: My Merry Christmas Cache #1, which is very close to home (and maybe 20 miles from the mystery cache), has a snail shell AND snail punchie in it. I will go look in there today if it is not too wet around the area and see if I can figure out who left the punchie. Stay tuned! ------------------------------------- Becky Davis San Jose, CA Kid-carrying cacher

What do you all (Brogan et al) think of a reverse Cannonball Run -- i.e. California to NY? I would be willing to coordinate it with some help from other California geocachers. I know that Marky is planning another picnic soon. We could release the bugs then? Would you mind me using the idea? And would anyone be willing to help me with the tracking page(s)? I have free webspace available. ------------------------------------- Becky Davis San Jose, CA Kid-carrying cacher

I posted this in the Australian forum but I wanted to put it here in case someone can help... I was wondering if someone could please retrieve this bug of mine: http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=6977 from this cache: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=19427 which appears to be so difficult (and remote) that no one has visited it since October. Nanook's goal is to visit all of the continents, and he has achieved two so far, but if someone could just get him to an easier cache, that would be fine with me. Anyone? Anyone? Thanks. ------------------------------------- Becky Davis San Jose, CA Kid-carrying cacher

There are plenty of guys (and occasionally a female or two in #geocache... quote:Originally posted by WVDan:I've been reading about women in geocaching and I think it'd be a cool idea to have a forum for getting together on dates with single geocachers of the opposite sex. ------------------------------------- Becky Davis San Jose, CA Kid-carrying cacher

quote:Originally posted by Blue Man:I was contacted by a cache owner who noticed I was browsing his page too early in the morning; he was concerned about my insomnia. I asked him how he knew and he told me there was now an audit function for the owner to check who was viewing and when. However, I can't seem to find it on my own cache pages. Anybody know about this? Thanks. Love your avatar. I'm a big Blue Man Group fan. I find it kinda touching that another geocacher was concerned about your insomnia. If only all geocachers were so concerned about each other! ------------------------------------- Becky Davis San Jose, CA How many geocachers can you fit into an ammo box?

So this means I can do a Firetruck cache & a Yamaha Motorcycle cache & an ambulance cache & a black camaro whose owners wear absball caps cache & a person broken down on the side of the road cache............ & since I collect Camaro models/paraphenalia, how about a Camaro Police car cache (actually, that's not a bad idea.... hmmmmm....) We actually have a Camaro police car here in San Jose, CA. Also, a Corvette one. ------------------------------------- Becky Davis San Jose, CA How many geocachers can you fit into an ammo box?

quote:Originally posted by 3fros:Just an idea. I don't know if anyone else has thought of this yet or not. Are any of you going to hide any of your presents in the woods or wherever and then wrap the coordinates up and put them under the tree so the receiver of the present has to go out and find it? Check out this one by Marwagsalot. Too bad I heard about it too late, or I would have hunted for it! ------------------------------------- Becky Davis San Jose, CA How many geocachers can you fit into an ammo box?

He uses a stamp when he signs logbooks. ------------------------------------- Becky Davis San Jose, CA How many geocachers can you fit into an ammo box?

I'd like to meet kablooey. Oh, wait, I already have. No, I'd like to meet Marty Fouts. Wait, I already have. Okay, then, I want to meet Choberiba/Eric_O. Wait -- I did already! Okay, then, my list also includes those #geocache people... wf_fuzzy, planet, Mopar (with whom I have spoken on the phone), DruMorgan (also talked to him on the phone), mtn-man (he was in my hometown and visited one of my caches but I didn't get to meet him), ClayJar, RobAGD. And yes, even umc. I know there are others that I can't think of right now. Oh... And I'd love to meet Jeremy himself. He's not too far away so that's not a completely unobtainable goal. Jeremy, want to come to a California geopicnic sometime??? ------------------------------------- Becky Davis San Jose, CA How many geocachers can you fit into an ammo box?

quote:Originally posted by TeamJiffy:Hi - I am here to plug http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=23661 as a fantastic cache to visit in the hills above Morgan Hill, Cailfornia. I am plugging it because we dropped off another cacher's travel bug, the http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=10564 travel bug, in this cache back on November 9, 2002. Since then, nobody has visited this cache and the travel bug is left sitting there. We feel badly because we found out after we dropped off this bug, that this bug has taken a rather circuitous route to end up virtually back where it started in April! Since then, we've felt guilty, but have no chance to get back down there to move it to a more frequently visited cache. Madonna's Gadgets is near a very nice park, full of tall trees, shady groves, nice campsites, etc. So, come visit Madonna's Gadgets, visit the park, and take this poor li'l travel bug somewhere! You'll be glad you did! -TeamJiffy Hey thanks for plugging my cache! Maybe I will have to go down there and do some maintenance on it and pick up that bug. Or I'll send Kablooey or Fouts or someone. ------------------------------------- Becky Davis San Jose, CA How many geocachers can you fit into an ammo box?

quote:Originally posted by Loomis and Bughead:Perhaps putting a packet of silica gel in your cache would be a good idea? It absorbs moisture. Is this an ok suggestion? It *cannot* be eaten though as it is poisonous, and I don't want anyone to eat it! But it is desperately needed in many damp caches around here. I was thinking about buying maybe 30 small packets of it and leaving it as trade items. What do you think? It's not the cheapest stuff in the world mind you. Actually, silica gel is not poisonous. It's a salt. It says do not eat on it just to let people know that that is not its purpose. I found this out one time when my toddler ate a packet of it and I called Poison Control. ------------------------------------- Becky Davis San Jose, CA How many geocachers can you fit into an ammo box?

I found a used condom in a local cache the other day. Ick! ------------------------------------- Becky Davis San Jose, CA How many geocachers can you fit into an ammo box? [This message was edited by beckerbuns on November 22, 2002 at 08:20 PM.]
