***Raymond Barrone voice**** "THAAAAAAT'S RIGHT!!!!" And "Luke" is aware also!

PIRATES!! Pirates with big gold earring loops! PIRATES!! With lust for swag in their black hearts! PIRATES!! Leaving stob-hole trails with peg-leg determination! Gotta love the pirates!!!

I have read all the responses in this thread and REFUSE to get involved! However.....I am going to call someone that CAN get involved! LUKE! HEY LUKE! GET OVER HERE AND SOLVE SOMETHING FOR ME! Luke is a good guy, but he has done stuff that makes me......HEAVE! Go Luke! Be gentle Luke! LUKE, BE GENTLE!!!! too late.

HooooRayyyyyyyyyy! Sissy is here!! Sissy, you ROCK!! Now that Sissy is here, there is no need for me to bring in the dreaded "LUKE"!! Luke?......Hey..Luke boy!!! DOWN LUKE! DOWN! DOWN!! Somebody call animal control!! QUICK!!!

Suggestions................ ***Wear Day-Glo vest... ***Sing "Zippity Do Daaa" at the top of your vocal capacity while caching... ***If you hear "TWANG" or "BOOM" ...............DUCK!!!!

I showwwwww do hopes the moderator closes this topic before.......... . . . . LUKE SHOWS UP! That old Luke get's real ornery when folks is a'jawin' back and forth about stuff that don't really help nobody. Shore will be glad to see this thread..........GRANDFATHERED!

When all else fails.........put on your best pirate patch and your sturdy peg-leg! Become a pirate and heft that yaller gold! Avast! Avast there maties! Avast I say!!!

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH........Yeah!

Never, never, never, never, never,........NEVER!......... get addicted to Pirate Gold!! For in the end......................... ...travel bugs will BITE! ...jeeps will leave tire marks on your SOUL! ...and coins will rattle in your pocket like frozen apples on a tree.

But it's the smiley......the smiley you don't get. You do NOT have permission to get that smiley. Nope. No smiley for you. Log a DNF....get a frowny......but no smiley. To get a smiley.....ya gotta do what I say! And I sezzzz....sezzz I..............

QUOTE My personal opinion is that trackable items simply cost too much. TB tags are what? $4 each? Coins are 2-3x that. I like the wooden nickel idea. About 50 cents to a dollar each and can be customized. If the trackable item was a low value item they probably wouldn't be as attractive to steal and it wouldn't be as much a disappointment to the owner when they went missingQUOTE... Pirates don't like wooden nickels! Pirates shun wooden nickels! Pirates like HEAVY METAL nickels! Pirates like Gold.....beautiful gold. Smashing a gold doubloon on a pub counter top cannot be duplicated with a birchwood nickel. So keep feeding us pirates your gold. Lusty, trusty GOLD!

There will always be a pirate that lusts for gold. Travel bug gold. Travel coin gold. Jeep gold. It is ALL gold. Lusty gold. Beautiful gold. Gold to be hefted in the hand. Gold that settles in the pocket on a peg-leg hike back to the 4-wheeler. Precious gold. And there it resides. Tucked safely in a drawer....along with loose change being kept to keep from getting more loose change when bills are broken. Catching the eye on a morn before work as gum and dental floss are rummaged. There will always be pirates that lust for gold. So hold your travel bugs tight! Give your Geo-coins a hug before depositing them in that dubious Tupperware square, sitting in an even more dubious location. Spin the wheels of your jeep...just one last time before hooking and pivoting the ammo box lid. I dream of pirates with big swords and huge eyepatches.......and they all want my swag! Chuckwagon

The best advice for anyone going after a cache that has "strings" attached: "IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEIR STYLE......DON'T POOP ON THEIR PILE!" Case Closed.

*** "Jaws" music playing*** Luke is on his way.....even as we speak. Luke does not understand "core functionality" or almost anything else beyone third grade. Uhhh, make that second grade! One other thing....don't let Luke pet your rabbit! He likes to pet soft things, but gets carried away. Good old Luke! He is a good ole' boy! Simple, yet direct. You can tell its Luke when you see him. He has these big, gnarly hands.

How about if I just send "LUKE" out to this cache? Problem solved!

Now there are people...cachers even......that would take GREAT exception to such an idea. Now, let me make this perfectly clear.....I am NOT one of the people that I am going to describe, but I know of such people. There are several that I know of that would trash that cache. Totally. There are still others that would not only trash the cache...but would PLOW SALT into the ground to insure nothing would grow there ever again. And then there are the extremists. They would go to such lengths over such a matter..........I don't even want to get into the sordid details of their depravity. Especially old "Luke". I have seen mean and wicked before...but Luke has done stuff that makes me......HEAVE! It takes all kinds to make up a geocaching world.......all kinds.

The loneliest moment in a cache's life is when: It was washed from the creek bank where it resided until "the flood" came. After tumbling for miles down rocky, debri-filled creek bed, it finally comes to rest in a huge pile of driftwood resembling a beaver dam. A couple of young boys out exploring the creek come very close to the cache! One of them pulls out a gnarled stick from the pile and uses it for batting practice. Neither boy sees the cache. The back of the boys' heads is the last thing the cache sees as it waits.......waits for another flood.

Pssssssst! Hey.....I got some geocoins for sale.........cheeeep! Don't ask.......don't tell! Wire Palidin.......San Francisco

Man Oh Man! GREAT! A cache and possible TOMB.....all in one!!! What more could a cacher ask for???????!!!

I like swag. My grandkids like swag. The best item I have found in a cache was a 1942 walking libery half dollar. It was nestled in amongst plastic toys, key rings, cheap carabiners, cartoon erasers, etc. My day was MADE with that find! My two grandkids had a blast trading for erasers, pencil sharpeners, McNugget toys, etc. Hey! Even a blind hog has to uproot an acorn every once in awhile!!

But you do get out of the way if a big semi cuts you off don't you?? I'm still here aren't I? "Intimidation" is a state mind. "Playing chicken" is a fool's game. Also, it's not a bicycle, it's a motorcycle. Riding a bicycle on the highway around here takes more guts than I got, let me tell you. Well, I guess that means I don't get your ammo cans!

It's fun to solve problems like a wannna-be MacGyver.......no matter what your height!

Maybe he's on vacation, and is waiting until his return to check the cache and respond. 5 days is an extremely short amount of time to wait before you SBA his cache. You've done your part, let it go for a while. Put a watch on the cache and see what happens. I agree. You can live without this cache for a long time. In fact.....you could live without it forever! Mellow out!

Coins! I found several buffalo nickles, Indian head pennies and one walking liberty half dollar in various caches.

We have lots of coyotes here in Texas. They may not hurt you, but they are wiley...........................................................................very, very wiley!
