    :D:D:D John headed out to Fallon today with my new FJ and a trailer and said to say "See Ya Later" to all of you. He'll be back for meetings and schools and long weekends, but if any of you are ever near Reno or Tahoe look him up. I'm sure there will be new caches placed up there soon!! r/ Jahoadi n John

    Was the trailer full of ammo cans, Loc n Loc's and micro containers? I hope this doesn't mean that your streak is going to be coming to an end. Take care John, you'll be missed by all.

     

    I'm not saying goodbye - See you soon John!!!

    Old people test: You are old if you know what to do after you say: "Oops I could have a V8!"

     

    Wait a minute...I must be getting hold! I thought I was supposed to slap my forehead FIRST, then say "I coud have had a V8!"

     

    :rolleyes:

    Whatever! :) As you get older you also start saying "whatever" a lot more! :(

     

     

    "Whatever" :P:)

     

     

     

    "Whatever" :P:) Did I say that already, whatever. :):wub:

     

    True Story: I went to the grocery store yesterday and bought some alcohol - and I got carded! :wub:

    The "kid" that carded me could *theoretically* be my son!

    I started the New Year with some Poison Oak. :D

    What is the best stuff to buy as a treatment for it?

     

    Ha! Ha! :D:D:D

    Oh, sorry, I use Tecnu. That seems to have worked pretty well when I got Poison Oak.

    Tecnu works BEFORE (itch itch) you get it. I need (itch itch) to know (itch itch) what works the best AFTER you get it (itch itch)...

    A steriod shot...

    Thanks, my neighbor got it really bad. So I'll tell him to go get a shot. He thinks he got it from petting Richard's dog which after it ran through a bunch of PO. I don't have it that bad to warrant going to the Doctor, so what is the best OTC solution?

     

     

    :D John fell down out in Hollenbeck and rolled down the bank. Every spot of his body that hit the ground now has fresh patches...his neck ( front and back), wrist, belly, face, forearm. Dr gave him some kind of cream, but it doesn't work. It gets worse every time he gets it now ..or so it seems.

     

    My sister in Maryland sent me some stuff called "Ivy Dry" to try. It works fairly well but I can't find it out here and I don't want to bug her to keep sending it to me. Plus she probably would wonder why I keep getting PO. Of course she knows that PO has never stopped me from having some fun. :D

     

    You can order it online http://www.ivydry.com/

    Hey! the're saved, the first results just hit the cache page. You'll see what I mean about some people minimizing the experience and others telling it like it is.

     

    Ain't that sweet - the way Harmon cares about us!!! :signalviolin:

     

    If you approach it the correct way, the urban jungle is not too bad - unless you went in the wrong way - Harmon's way! ;):anitongue::anitongue:

     

    John of "jahoadi and john" was even able to make it despite foot surgery a few weeks back! He was keeping up even though he was wearing a sandal(!) and a hiking boot. He had to be careful not to get his foot wet. On top of that, he had lost his GPSr and had to walk halfway back before it was found.

    John gets my vote for the most dedicated cacher of the year so far!!!

     

    So, who's telling it like it is??? - I guess that when people reach a certain age, the stories just get better and better... ;)

    How about Noon at Easton Ct - Just outside the church parking lot. This time and place gives even Harmon a chance to come and do it over again - the correct way!!! ;);)B)

    Hopefully I will be able to wake up in time to make it. Seems a little early for me. B)

     

    B) We may try to be there too B) Coming Harmon?? Wake up Richard ;)

     

    We will try too...Kwver

     

    If anybody else wants to go - see you there at Noon today! Here are the coords for parking/meeting place:

    O, by th' way, have a nice Monday. Which way do you plan to penetrate that jungle?

     

    Harmon

     

    We'll probably parachute out of our cargo plane and rendezvous at Skull Mountain within 3 days. If we survive ;) the drop, we have supplies for about 10 days before we have to resort to eating rodents and insects...

     

    ...Or, we might just work our way in from the service road. I scouted the area in the summer - it wasn't too bad from that direction - So why didn't I go and grab it? Well, I was wearing shorts and a tanktop... 'nuff said!

     

     

    :ph34r: Just in case we find the full suit of armor out in the garage and decide to join you for this "adventure"..where and what time? Hey Harmon...I'm not a sissy!! r/ jodi

    Anybody up for "Navajo Adventure" (GCW7JM) on Sunday 12/31????

    Starttime 9-10'ish in the morning, but I'm flexible.

     

    I moved this up one day to Monday 1/1 instead - same time if anybody is interested to tag along.

     

    Maybe Harmon would like to tag along and guide our brave (doomed) souls?!?!? ;)

     

    I realize that some of you might stay up late the night before :D - and if you want to tag along but don't see yourself out there until 11- Noon'ish, that's OK too!

    It was on the last page.

     

    Miragee is riding with M2; I have room for you.

     

    We're doing the Mtn first, with 7 caches - the ones I need <_< . There are about 6-8 more on the bottom we can do afterwards till noon'ish when I need to depart. Once we get off the freeway I can "throw" Ginger!" in the bed and then I'll have room for two more.

     

    You can park at my house in Lakeside (N32 50.901 W116 54.469), or at a park n ride of your choice. Or if you want to cache beyond noon'ish, you can drive and park near Tweet Tweet.

     

    If you use MapSource, I can send you trailhead coords for the caches on top.

     

    After reading past postings, you're still planning on leaving around 5:30 am for ETA by Smuggler's Cave around 6:30 am?

    Is M2 and Miragee staying after 12 noon??? I see 18 caches in the general area but I have no idea if 4WD is required.

    I'll go with you guys - I'm just trying to figure out some details...

    Ya gonna die!

     

    My invitation to In Ko Pah is still open for Sunday morning. Is 0500 too early for a polar bear :D ?

     

    M2, Miragee, Ginger! and I have committed.

     

    What?? Me?? ...too early??? :)

    I'll have you know that I have an inverse relationship between getting out of bed and the number of caches to find. The more caches - the earlier I get up! If it's worthwhile, I can always reschedule Navajo Adventure to the afternoon or on Monday 1/1

     

    So, how many caches are we talking about? Is it a 4WD event all the way? In that case I need to hitch a ride with somebody. Where do we meet at what time?

    And on the subject of the upcoming holidays...

     

    Whereas we, Let's Look Over Thayer, (hereinafter called "the wishor") wish to grant to you (hereinafter called "the wishee") season's greetings.

     

     

    Merry X-mas to you too.

     

    The important thing is not to be politically correct, what's important is that you know what you are celebrating (X-mas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus etc.). Believe it or not, most people are willing to respect that.

     

    I celebrate X-mas!

    Nice geocaching article in this week's edition of The Rancho Bernardo News Journal. Looks like the online version lags the print version though as of this moment:

     

    http://mylocalnews.com/nws/

     

    Lots of local interviews in it:

     

    Joanne and Dave Fender

    Pam Davis

    Bob Fritz

    Linda Carruthers

    Carol Zelata (PQ Mommy)

     

    I could only identify Carol from the real names...who else am I missing? Hopefully the article will be online soon!

     

    -Tony

     

    Lucky Kid & Proud Parents and k6ql are also represented.

     

    Linda Carruthers is "The Lost Clan"

    :);)BZ to RJBloom & Co. on 1 :D:D:D big ones!! ;):D:D

    See it here: (visit link)

     

    Thanks!

     

    I told my 5 yo stepdaughter Natalia that I had found 1000 caches and she said "so how many does Polar Bear have?" Funny! (I guess she must have heard me talking about how many caches Patrick had compared to mine, a few times....)

     

    :D:o:) That's just too funny!!! :D:o:o Kids say the darndest things! :D

    Just a little healthy(?) competition I guess. We started caching around the same time, and as I recall it - you passed me - I passed you - you passed me - I passed you, and I'm *temporarily* ahead now. Not that numbers matter(?!?), but you sure spurred me on to get to 1000 fast.

     

    Anyhoo, welcome to the K club!!!
