  1. OH YEAH! FTF!!! I have Geocached in more than 30 countries and this was the absolute best geocache I have ever done! We found a location only 500 feet from the cache and began our ascent. Somehow we ended in a thorn forest. I have never seen so many thorns - thorns on the trunks of trees, thorns on the limbs, thorns on the leaves. The rocks were a blessed relief to the thorns. By the time I was down, I was bleeding quite well. The photo shows the results. Thank you for an EXCELLENT cache. We loved it! I highly recommend this cache! The MV Doulos Bunch 'cos I was mentor of setters (newbies at that)
  2. WOW!!! Thank you Rustyg for introducing us to Geocaching! It has taken us to some wonderful places and given us some great family fun! I read that log that sammi the cat had found his (her) 200th here at this spot. Then I looked and realized that I was on 2 caches away form my 200th cache. These two caches (Far 1 or 2 and Impromptu) were less that 3 miles from where the MV Doulos was birthed. Mrs. Songsinger and I have been serving on the Doulos for three weeks. What an added treat to be able to find # 200 with Mrs. Songsinger and Rustyg. Ok I admit I am being wordy, but it is #200!!! Thanks so much for the cache. I took a tiny ceramic elephant to remember the Thailand cache and left some Baht coins. I'll also post some fun pictures that I hope will encourage cachers to make the trip to this beautiful location. Cache "Impromptu" Thailand
  3. No topo maps here, I study Google closely b4 i go but.....
  4. Having recently walked 18 instead of 2 km due to above situation, is there any way to do better? I have a 60CS
  5. Keep us posted please, currently crocked..by geocaching, (bit off more than I could chew), so living vicariously...WILL NOT GO AND LOOK FOR 1/1's
  6. Unable to get a hard case for my Palm, I put it in a tupperware box. At the cache site lo and behold the cache was same as my "case" Grabbed the cache..supermuggle area, went away and signed etc. Put the cache in my bag, back to GZ, pretend to take close ups of plants while kneeling and groping in the bag to surreptitiously replace cache. No prizes for guessing what I discovered on getting home.
  7. " is not really any danger unless you get lost. That's why the spare batteries are important, and why it is a good idea to record the coordinates for your vehicle before you leave it." OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH..no COMPASS ???
  8. It's normal, they don't want every Tom Dick and Harry, who has a few bucks..I hope. Have to check you out
  9. so probably harry's guess ist right, but we maybe did a mistake in calculating... ?!? you and a 1000 others with all those brackets and further stuff waldi&kaefer
  10. Probably aliens, btw why do they never abduct an intelligent person ?
  11. In advanced years and unable to climb trees, at a GZ after laying waste to the surrounding area (it was due for ploughing anyway) and killed far too many of God's most industrious creatures, I pondered calling the setter, as I have his cell #, but thought it might not be acceptable, just wanted to ask "is it up the tree..yes or no only" What is the etiquete please.
  12. As a Farang (thai gaijin) always attracts attention. Agree with all the suggestions, clipboards, cameras et al. I also have a laminated nonsense ID Tag to hang around my neck, and a multimeter. I can apply the leads to anything and everything and scrutinise above, below and around any apparatus.
  13. Take a look at "perplexity" see if you can come up with a simpler proggie for the 3 letter 'Enigma", the existing ones are for 5 letter, very much for nerds
  14. Guy here wrapped the cache in camo and stuck it to cream painted railings.
  15. I think this will lead to the eventual demise of geocaching, (not the article, but the reality). Then you can all come to ASIA where they actually welcome trash, indeed they buy it. It's piled up everywhere and anywhere, our containers would be a drop in the oceans of trash here, Sorry NOT Singapore and Japan.
  16. Good example of what the guy means by quitting
  17. Here he/she is, about 3 foot long 1.5 " dia
  18. I don't get it. what is it you are saying here? you can suck sewage through some socks with bleach and iodine and it becomes clean drinking water? According to various survival pages..yes, in various combinations.Then it's a toss up, die from dehydration or poisoning
  19. Is it possible they didn't find it and are jerking your chain?
  20. That's one of the great things about this "game", people needing 3 foot accuracy..where's the challenge? (No-one said this..it's a slow Sunday)
  21. Where's the EDIT button gone ?..well for the first post
