Hey i am starting two travel bugs on their way shortly, one will start from the east coast and one from the west. This is Ultimate Warrior #2 http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=40731&Nocache=0.7055475 I need someone one the west coast that is reliable to Mail him to to send him on his way. Any takers? Thanks! -Jared

The Camp I used to work at in NH used a GPS with the Orienteering classes. Any other scouts out there? Trade patches? -Jared

I am planning to place my own cache soon and I am thinking of ideas of what to put in the cache, and this came to mind. How about a book swap? Take a book you havent read and leave one that you no longer want? Hows that sound? -Jared

I am thinking of placing a cache soon and I was wondering how to get the most accurate set of Cords possible, what are ya'lls tips? -Trailwalker

quote:Originally posted by joefrog:Okay, my story. Growing up, we had some very close family friends next door. It was like I had two fathers, two families. We went on vacations together, cooked out together, even our little lake houses were next door to each other. I didn't even know we weren't related until I was 8 or 9. You get the picture -- we were very close. He had owls everywhere -- paintings, figurines, etc., that people had given him over the years. They were "his" animal he loved, just like mine are frogs. Five years ago or so, about the same time we bought our first house, Herbert (my "2nd father") started getting fluid in his lungs (I forget the medical term) and got sick, and quickly. Asbestos in his lungs from his Navy days, 40 years before. I had always wanted them to come down for a cookout, to see our house, even before he got sick. After that, it was one doctor appointment after the other. There was never enough time after that -- doctor appt., didn't feel well after treatment, etc. The cookout never happened, and he went downhill frighteningly quickly. He died in February. The night after his funeral, I was leaning on the doorjamb at the back porch, drinking a "beverage" and I heard something scrape on the gutter just above my head. "Whoooo... who whoooo....." It was an owl, and one unlike I had heard in the area before. He sat on the gutter, hooting loudly for a few minutes, then muttering softer, and louder again, and then flew away. That's when it hit me -- he had finally come to see our house after all. Thanks, old man -- you're missed every day. And I'll never forget the day you came to visit. Joel (joefrog) "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for ye are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!" in many cultures the owl is the messenger of death, it lets you know someone has/will pass on. -Jared

quote:Originally posted by Bug and Snake: Thing two: I really resent situations where plants come before people. So, the 'lesser spotted bogwart' is an endangered plant? Sample it and move it. Grow it somewhere else or fence it in. Thing three: Walking over the 'bogwart' and crushing it's little leaves is interfering with nature they tell us. If a deer eats it, how about that? Perhaps nature doesn't want it there anymore and needs man to get in and trample it? Thing four: What is the use of the silly little plant anyhow? If it can't look after its self, well, ummmmm..... By any chance do you work for the BIA? just curious

Nothing strange about it, we are not supposed to understand everything. What fun would the world be then? -Jared

I have been injured multiple times looking for physical caches or trying to get to them. I've almost been stuck in a swamp, almost fallen off a bridge, and even almost drown! Maybe you should avoid going in the woods, doesnt sound like a safe place for you. -J

Hey all just wanted to say I found my first tick on me today, be careful make sure to check yourselves. Luckily the little bugger wasnt in me yet. -J

Hey I love to go find travel bugs and move them, anyone else addicted? -Jared

Heh when my father was in the first gulf war, some fellas from his unit buried some AK-47s and took down the coordinates, is that a geocache? -J

I started letterboxing before I Cached, I almost prefer letterboxing because there is often a history lesson involved, -Trailwalker

22 here

While caching out in the woods at a local park I stumbled across a bunch of small pine trees with easter eggs and easter bunny ornaments all over them!!! -Jared

I am getting really frusturated! I have hunted for four caches and cant seem to find them! I'll set the coordinates and follow them but as soon as I get with in 8-20 feet of it the thing changes direction and says I need to go the other way! I didnt know caches + coordinates could grow legs!!! Thanks -Jared
