  1. One of these is presently residing abount 10' underwater and seems to be holding up well. The only report of moisture was right after another cacher had opened it during a rain shower. Deadiest Cache
  2. Beer Can Chicken This chicken is the juiciest, most mouthwatering bird you'll ever try. I also like the aspect of theater when you cook it, because it looks so damned weird on the grill. This bird is simply deeee-licious! The beer inside the cavity steams the chicken from the inside, keeping it moist and juicy, while the dry heat of the grill forms a nice crisp skin. Once you've cooked a chicken with this method, you'll never want to do it any other way! 1 whole chicken 1 can o' beer olive oil 4 cloves garlic crushed salt and black pepper your favorite beer (for marinating the chef!) seasoning for chicken (or use a seasoning blend of your own favorites): 4 cloves garlic, crushed fresh basil a pinch of cayenne salt and pepper Start with a hot grill (coals all white and ready to cook). Drink about 1/4 of that can of beer. Set it aside 3/4 full and have a couple of full ones, real beer this time—no sissy canned stuff. Get the chicken ready for cookin'. Trim some of the fat, get rid of the giblets (here kitty kitty!). Rub liberally with your favorite meat rub. I prefer olive oil, basil, lots of fresh pressed garlic, salt, and a pinch of cayenne. Some folks like Zartarain's or some such store bought concoction, but whatever. Get a can opener or some such tool and open up the top of the can and drop in the crushed garlic. Oil up the can and lower that chicken over top of it. The beer can goes into the chicken's body cavity and allows the bird to stand upright. Cover your grill and cook the chicken until its wings are loose and the skin turns clear. Grilling times vary pretty dramatically—from 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of your bird and the heat of your coals. Use a meat thermometer to check for a breast (not touching the bone) temperature of 160°. This is terrific with garlic and potatoes or roasted corn. Tips: I have used lemon, garlic, rosemary, and plenty of black pepper under the skin to season our chicken, then rubbed it with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then secured the loose flaps at the bottom of the breast with a few toothpicks. Other things I have tryed that worked well was pouring Jamaica Mistake marinade inside the skin prior to cooking. Using a meat injector to add flavor near the bone when there wasn't time to let the bird marinate for severa hours. And theres reports from friends that using other cans of liquids such as Root Beer and Lemonaid instead of beer works just as well.
  3. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia; In the United States, the residents of the state of Hawaii and the territories of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) consume the most Spam per capita. On average, each person on Guam consumes 16 tins of Spam each year and the numbers at least equal this in the CNMI. Guam, Hawaii, and Saipan, the CNMI's principal island, have the only McDonald's restaurants that feature Spam on the menu. Burger King, in Hawaii, began serving Spam in 2007 on its menu to compete with the local McDonald's chains.[7][8] In Hawaii, Spam is so popular it is sometimes dubbed "The Hawaiian Steak." [9] It is traditionally reheated (cooked), resulting in a different taste than Spam eaten by many Americans on the mainland, who may eat Spam cold.[10] One popular Spam dish in Hawaii is Spam musubi, in which cooked Spam is combined with rice and nori seaweed and classified as onigiri.[11 Some call the gelatinous pink pork "Hawaii's soul food." Sorry Jen, but how can there be a Hawaiian theme without Spammy goodness..
  4. I haven't been keeping up with the updates as I recieved coins. But today I recieved my new fav coins. Nude Cacher set arrived, Thanks Karma!! The Dble D ..errr.....3D detailing is great!
  5. I don't know if your looking to buy, but check craigslist if your pondering it. You can set a max price and search for various types like kayak, canoe, or boat. Worth a try I guess, then we can borrow it from you..
  6. In the South Sound area theres a great series called Hidden Treasures. Heres a bookmark Theres plenty more though like "THE DEATH STAR SERIES" in Dupont. The Payback series, Addiction series, Things I Miss From Home, Where in tarnation (good puzzles), NRV and SRV series of course, A Few of Her Favorite Things (some great locations), and Baby Steps series. I could keep going but that should help get ya started.
  7. Looking at TravisL's profile he lists Olympia II for Jan 2010. Another Snolympia CM for the diehards I guess.
  8. Sorry, moving caches are not allowed. Besides, I would be really lame swag to trade for.
  9. Found this monster ammo can on Craigslist. The Listing good luck moving it into the woods though, it weighs 320lbs
  10. The cache description now lays it all out on the table for finders to descide for themselves if its a place want to visit. A good change that is appropriate in this instance for sure. You've dealt with the potential finders issues, and still have a cache out there to be found by anyone who cares to. Locally we have a couple hiders that are in similar situations, but they refuse to see the problem with surprising finders with trash filled locations. Kudos for taking stepping up and doing the right thing bluepigninjas. The listing is honest so any finders cannot complain they were unaware of the situation. Now surprise them with a tricky hide to compensate for the location. I score hides by 3 criteria. The listing, The hide/container, and the location. As long as 2 of the 3 are pleasant the sin of the 3rd is forgiven.
  11. "Due to certain miserable, ungrateful cachers let me state again - this is a park-and-grab, sorry it's not bloody scenic!" From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The phrase "Pot calling the kettle black" is an idiom, used to accuse another speaker of hypocrisy, in that the speaker disparages the subject in a way that could equally be applied to him or her.
  12. June is the only month this year that has a Friday the 13th.... And yes, night is the only real time to attempt this adventure.
  13. I always include a FTF certificate with a note added that the certificate is good for a drink on me. A coin, scratch lotto ticket, and other goodies are usually included as well just to sweeten the deal. Its not common in the area, but I know my caching friends appreciate it.

  15. Cache Faves Northwest A website put up by a local cacher as a resource for just this sort of thing
  16. Not sure if this will help, but a friend put out an cache based on the Enigma as well. Theres links for a onoine and downloadable machine to use. BQNDZ CIBLC EXHRM (GC171TQ)
  17. I include the third one listed and add the line "Good for One Drink by Mudsneaker" to give it some redeeming value at Events. Glad to see others are taking one more step to make finding a cache just a little more interesting.
  18. Sure hope the counter can be reset, I recieved my usual Friday PQ, but still haven't gotten the "My Finds" I requested on the 10th.
  19. I place a printed FTF certificate that is good for a drink on me in all my caches. I add that part in by hand on the open line space. One of our local FTF hounds has gotten several and redeemed them when we watched a football game at a local watering hole, I bought all the beer. Thats in addition to scratch lotto ticket, coin, or some other nifty thing that will fit inside the container.
  20. Egg Hunt (GCV9M0) Placed for Easter 2 yrs ago
  21. April 29, 2006 by mudsneaker (1198 found) So do I get to claim FTGB? (First to Get Busted?) I was the lucky one to take one for the team I guess. We had made our return trip landing only to get nabbed by THE LAW. He was rather excited to have discovered such wanton disregard for THE LAW. So off I go to get my lashings. After some negotiations and offerings of coffee n donuts, we came to an agreement that I should be STERNLY warned and released to the custody of fellow cachers. This all came about from no life jackets on the Alien Visitor kids. The 40' distance didnt matter, or the large crowd of potential rescuers. So be sure to bring em or THE LAW might come and get you!! PS. Great cache! I had a blast! Legion's Log Just one of many encounters with LEO's, although this was the first one to actually take it a step beyond checking my I.D. Heres the hardened criminals at work
  22. Ohjoy blew past 5500 in a flurry of logs
  23. I celebrated the eclipse by getting a FTF on a new Night cache in Olympia..Woot Woot! Lots of students from Evergreen college wandering around the woods howling at the moon while I was doing the cache run. Made it all that much more interesting.
  24. Most finds in a day: 74, on 4/28/2007 Best weekend caching: 88 finds, on Saturday 4/28/2007 & Sunday 4/29/2007 Best week caching: 102 finds, from Monday 4/23/2007 to Sunday 4/29/2007 Most finds in a calendar month: 144, in Apr 2007 Fastest 100 finds: 3 days from 4/27/2007 to 4/29/2007 Per the numbers off my profile page. The same Cache Machine as shop99er, what a blast it was!! 74 was from 6am till 12 midnight. Stopped for a brief lunch and an extended dinner. Many stories for that day, and many fantastic new sights we saw. Not something I would do to often, but occasionally its well worth it.
  25. Due to family emergency, I couldn't make the event. But I am curious if my "will attend" note for the EVENT was counted as a dinner reservation. I certainly didn't indicate I would make the dinner, so wonder if every "will attend" the event was also assumed for dinner as well? Or was the count based on actual written numbers? Just curious......
