Ya'all will be happy to know that I sell Tupperware. Really! Also, that picture above is not of Tupperware. That is some other sort of container. I speak from experience. bEcKy

I have been privately accused of being Mitsuko. I find that interesting since I have been quite the opposite of active on these forums. Nevertheless, I read all about it in the chat last night and therefore I join in the fun. Becky PS I have a strong suspicion as to her identity, even though it isn't me.

Excellent!

I like the airport idea even more. I could help with that, as I work for the City of San Jose which maintains and operates the San Jose International Airport. I could find a place there or nearby that would work. Kind of a bug cache I guess. Becky

Good, less competition.

Well, I think it's a valid question. My first find was this one: http://www.geocaching.com/mark/details.asp?PID=HS2960 It was covered with dirt, and not even readable. I had no water (think suburban setting) but I did have baby wipes so I cleaned it with one of those. Brasso is a grand idea. Even Windex.

I'd like to see them included in our finds. Only so I can go back and look at them again, or people can see what I've found. I found my first three today. Three more, I couldn't find. The instructions were rather complicated in cryptic so it could just be my mushy brain.

Speaking as a municipal employee... A while back our City renumbered all of the light poles. This is likely to happen with utility poles as well. I would not depend on old information regarding this type of thing. Keep searching, though! I looked for six today and found three. They were smaller than I expected. quote:Originally posted by the_wanderer: I went looking for three benchmarks today. One was on a bridge, one was 155 ft from a bridge, and one was close to an intersection. I was unable to find any of the three that I went looking for. The last time that they were located was 1964. The weird part is that two of the locations referenced utility poll numbers as a benchmark. I used the descriptions and checked all the utility poles in the area. I'm just not having any luck. I'm thinking about contacting the local utility company and seeing if I can get utility pole maps out of them. Does that sound reasonable to anyone?
