  1. All of my caches in the USA are up for adoption except for Haven Lake and Navy Patrol. My caches are all near Shelton, Washington.
  2. It's a beautiful area I just went down there and grabbed 12 caches.
  3. Frisbee'r just placed a cache at the trailhead.
  4. Hello, I am staying in the Ancon district of Panama for a few more days. I really want to find a cache while I am in Panama but I'm the only cacher in my family and I'm a women, and I don't speak much Spanish, so I'm a little bit nervous about caching on my own in Panama. And we don't have a car here. Another problem is that many of the caches seem to be missing. The one closest to my hotel is missing as is the one on Amadore causeway. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks.
  5. A loose croc? Wow.. What other dangers are there for geocachers in Panama?
  6. Keeping it simple sounds good. Are any of the caches in the Olympics still on the list?
  7. Sounds good. Will old finds count? I've found some of the highest ones and was dissapointed when this challenge was ended.
  8. Just more scare tactics by a State Agency. They DRN is taking this right out of the state parks playbook. The state is broke because Bankers destroyed our economy. They knew what they were doing but they knew they were too big to fail and they could force all the little people to pay for their greed. Privatize the profits and socialize the losses. Here is a quote from the DNR "Allow private concessionaires to try two pilot projects at DNR recreation sites — one in Western Washington and one in Eastern Washington." Here we go, this is what this is really all about. Private companies are worming their way in so they can make a profit off public lands. This is the bottom line. User fees won't even put a dent into the budget required to run DNR lands. A single pass for all state lands will be good at first. Then they will decide not to honor the pass at concessionaire run sites, just like the Forest Service has done. This is all just another step in the privatization of our public lands and the WTO / World Bank style restructuring of our economy. Expect to see much more of this in the future and expect to see the “user groups" falling all over themselves to pay the new fees just to hike, while the working class (that includes everyone who has to work for a living, not just the working poor) bails out the people who created this mess in the first place.
  9. Jimjamm wants to adopt: GC186WD "Rest Here" Fine by me. Please give it to him.
  10. Thanks Joe! My non geocaching trip report is at http://mosswalks.blogspot.com Going up was hard for me but the trip down was easy once we were off the snow and ice.
  11. The weather was perfect, I did the hike in trail runners and my jeep now has 187,000 miles on it. Joepesh might post a TR later.
  12. I'm going we a few portland area cachers.
  13. We are meeting at Cold Springs tonight!
  14. today is the day.. we are meeting up at Cold Springs Campground this after noon.
  15. double posts don't know how to delete them.
  16. I just found a live bullet, a loaded shotgun shell and a cigarette in one of my caches. I remembered seeing a thread about such. This cache container is a plastic peanut butter jar, it is not a safe container for storing such things. My cache had moved from its hiding spot and was in plain sight on the side of a trail. A group of 17 kids( who were with two adults on quads) walked right past my cache today. Several people have signed the cache logbook but have not logged the cache online. One of the finders did not know it was a geocache because they were not geocachers. They wrote in the log that they decided it was a container for storing used shotgun shells. Then they discovered geocaching and went back signed the cache logbook.
  17. Ditto. I would really love to do this climb in August, Love, but alas, I have to bow out for health reasons. However, I hope to be back in trim next year, so if it gets pushed to 2010, count me in! (Remember GW8 is July 3, 2010, so try to schedule the climb after mid-July, so it doesn't conflict with GW8 activities and post-event collapse. ) Ditto. Car repairs killed me this time. I can't even afford a vacation trip this year. Ditto. Annie already knows this, but I can't make this year's date because my wife's 20th high school reunion ended up falling on that weekend. For some reason my Jeep has been very reliable. My Jeep now has over 178,000 miles on it. I think it had 160,000 or more when I got it. We only drive it 3 times a month because it is a bit of a gas hog. My Ford Aerostar was always breaking down and ending family vacations. The Ford Exploder (called that because the tranny explodes) uses the same tranny and a lot of the same parts as the Aerostar. I'll never again replace a tranny or an engine in a vehicle. I can get a whole car for less then the cost of replacing those parts. The best thing I ever did car wise was to leave my Aerostar (with it's new but failing tranny) in a wrecking yard. Anyway, it looks like a few of us might be doing Adams the first week of August, I'll leave it to someone else to post the details. Thanks to Annie for starting this topic.
  18. I just now saw your post; congratulations on finding so many of my caches over the weekend. I was out hiking from Heart o' the Hills up to Hurricane ridge. That was about 5000 feet elevation gain with all the ups and downs. I was planning on hiking up to camp Muir as training before attempting Adams. I went up to Camp Muir a couple of years ago and have been wanting to go up Adams ever since. I don't know if I'll be in shape for Adams I've not been up that high before. 11,031 on Deseret Peak in Utah is the highest I have ever been. I normally start getting headachy at about 9,000 feet so it would be good for me to do some training at altitude. Hopefully I can find some one here or on North West hikers net to join me. I try to stay in shape by hiking year round but some years it is easier then others. I know that if I put this off for a year there is a good chance I will never do it. Life can change in the blink of an eye.
  19. Ditto. I would really love to do this climb in August, Love, but alas, I have to bow out for health reasons.

As soon as I say I'm in everyone changes their mind Well I'm still interested, maybe I will go it alone. It sounds like you're never actually alone up there in the summer anyway. Last weekend I did 15 miles RT with 3,600 feet elevation gain but I need to do a lot more training. Adams will be a real challenge.
  20. Is there a date set for this now? I think hiking up to the tree line and sleeping there out of the wind could be a good way to do it.
  21. I don't see this one in the data base. It is on top of "grisdale" hill. The closest listed benchmark is dennie ahl reset and the closest geocache (mine) is at Grisdale Hill
  22. I'm in but only if I can get child-care and I won't know if I have child-care until a day or two before.
  23. I used Plucker and Spinner and they worked well together. You might want to try that instead. Now I have a GPS with a geocaching mode and it shows the hints or what ever else I program it to show using GSAK.
  24. You might like the Mount Muller trail and there is a forest service campground close to it. http://mosswalks.blogspot.com/2007/08/mount-muller-loop.html
