  1. Some dude at the horse track asked me to cash in his winning ticket, since I was going that way because I won a $2 place bet. His ticket cashed out at $540. I had never met the guy, he was just sharing a table with me and my friends. It's not the amount that is impressive, it's the fact he just gave me $540 to carry back to him, and he didn't know me from any one. Trust is a interesting situation.

  2. I feel left out. I am a tobacco chewer, but I am worried enough about a raccoon eating my discarded plug, that I do not do it on the trail. I always do it in the car. And I never use a Skoal can for a micro, although I have seen posts regarding that.

    If we meet on the trails there is no need for either of us to know if we are Democrat, Republican, Jewish or Christian. We are just two people enjoying nature.

     


     

    And the same goes for us Cthulhuian members of the Whig party!

  4. This a random thoughts post, on have bad you HAVE to cache sometimes.

     

    I am a CPA, who has been locked up in his office for the past 12 weeks. I found some time last night to hit a new cache in the area, so off I went. I took my tie off, but that was it. I got to the new park under construction where the cache was, and drove a 2 track under construction in my 1988 non-off road car. I got within 1000 feet of the cache, so off I went, down a 100 foot hill, falling twice.

     

    Did I mention it was 42 degrees and raining? The cache turned out to be on the banks of a pond, a really good location and hide, but hard to get to in wingtips. No worries though, since the mud and gunk off, at least that's what I told my wife. The pants are ruined though.

     

    And yes, I'd do it again, that's have bad I have the cache bug,

     

    Any other war stories?

  5. 1. How did you find out/start geocaching?

     

    From a comic book called "Knights of the Dinner Table", the author, Jolly Blackburn, put it in his editorial. They also did a strip on it in the comic soon after. If you like D & D, or other RPG's and/or board games, check it out!

     

    2. Who/what got you started geocaching?

     

    See above, the comic inspired me.

     

    3. How often you do it?

     

    As often as I can, usually once a week in the spring though fall, but snow and tax season limits me in the winter.

     

    4. How long have you been doing it?

     

    Since May, 2002.

     

    5. Spending amounts:

    a. Price of GPS Birthday present, Etex Yellow ($120)

     

    b. Placing a cache , $1 for log books and pencils, I put old CD's and books in my caches, so you make the call, to me it's nothing, since that money was spent years ago.

     

    c. other equipment and prices (lights, ropes, etc)

     

    Very little, just gas on the way I guess. I am not high tech......yet.
