Ahem . . . umm . . . where do you work?P.S. My co-worker and friend really thought geocaching "Is sooo cool!" and is going to sign up and join the rest of us geogeeks thanks to this trip. Here she is standing in the lush and beautiful gardens like a true geocacher with a GPS in hand!
Yes...where do you work....Oh wait....big rock on left hand. Pity.
--TT--
Make sure you bring her to an event... - soon!

ONE NIGHT ONLY!!!!"
SAT NIGHT!!! POLAR BEAR'S EVENT!!! 6 PM!!
That is a great picture! It will be good to say hi to you again..
Paul
Too keep up with the times... Shouldn't it say "Will Give Hints 4 Gas" instead since it's almost $4.50 gallon -
So far about 30 people are coming to IHO: The Three Musketeers event!
Please sign up before Friday afternoon (5/30) if you are planning on attending since I have to give the owner a reasonable headcount for reserving the room(s), purchasing supplies (i.e. beer and pizza), etc.

I hate it when you're FTF and the cache was muggled!
-
...
Yeah, I know, .... desperate for Geocaching entertainment. Maybe I'll just bake
some more cookies.
Harmon, you need to get out more!!! Seriously... You're deteriorating fast... but I'll have some chocolate chip cookies if that's OK.

How true. Many of us have already been down in a number of storm drains in the past. Who can forget La Cucaracha River?
Though I'd probably like to try.Gee...the memory must already be fading. The name of the cache was "La Cucaracha Rio"
Just wait 'til you're stupid enough to try IHO: Eric and Hill - Crazy Adventures... That's unforgettable!And it's guaranteed to restore your memory of La Cucaracha Rio! (It sure did the job for me...
)After I did La Cucaracha Rio I was hooked...
That's when I created my tagline (Discover more of San Diego - cache underground!) and I decided I wanted to create an "urban cave" cache myself -
Anybody interested in going up to White Mountain and bag White top?
This is a pretty tough hike but nowhere near as bad as Mt Whitney - this hike has been done in a wheelchair!
I'm looking to go there the first Sunday in August (flexible) since the gate to the research station is unlocked for the day which saves about 4 miles round-trip.
The idea is to mountain bike as far as possible, ditch the bike and hike the rest.
Any takers?

This is additional info that could not be listed on the cache page for event GC1BYWT IHO: The Three Musketeers due to its commercial nature. However, I thought it would be a good idea to include it.
NOTE: Due to its commercial nature, this thread will self-destruct within 15 seconds after you've read it... please stand back!!!

Here’s the deal with Round Table: RT’s pizzas can be a little pricey (and also very tasty), but there are several places you can get coupons – perfect for a cacher on a budget, or to save some money towards your next TB.
- If you live in University City/No Clairemont, look in the Penny saver about mid-month.
- In the back of the Yellow Book in section C-5 (not the Yellow Pages)
- On-line at www.RoundTablePizza.com (you need to sign up to be able to print coupons).
- The restaurant owner has agreed on giving 20% discount on any Large or X-Large pizza when you mention that you’re part of the Geocaching event.

Congratulations to FlagMan and devhead for FTF and LLOT for STF!!!
Although LLOT could easily been co-FTF with the other guys, he decided to do something other than geocaching - Hmmm... It's the first time I've seen James pass on a FTF - suddenly I got a puzzle idea! or not... 
Anyhoo - when's the party???? I'm doing my best to have it on Saturday, June 7th; I'll have to work on a suitable location.

The Lost Clan hit 2000 yesterday!
Awesome!!! Linda you're on fire!!!
Hmmm... That reminds me, has anybody seen here lately...

Teco #20 - Finale! is solved (and it didn't end badly)!!!
-
I just added a hint to Teco 20 - let's see if anybody is clever enough to figure it out.
I also decided to up the ante for the FTF - you get an all day hiking trip in Tecolote Canyon after your pizza and beer
-
I got this message on a bikes-related mailing list at work. As such it focuses on what the MTB'ers are likely to lose. It occurs to me, however, that there are a number of geocaches that might also be affected by this development, including the "Dits" and Red October.
I'll try to go over there soon and see if any of the promised explanatory signs have been posted.
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 12:09:44 -0700Subject: [LPCPCAC] Trail Closures on Del Mar Mesa
Well all, we knew this day was coming and here it is…Pardee will begin construction of the Shaw Lorenz development on Del Mar Mesa next week. They will start at the western most end of the development at the end of Carmel Mountain Rd and work east. However the entire mesa will be closed for the duration of the project. All the single tracks known as “the intestines” will be a memory beginning Monday, April 14. I have worked out a plan with the developer to maintain access to Cobbles from Del Vino road. We are still looking at logistics, but unfortunately we may loose access to “Side hill” from the top during construction, so that makes it obsolete from the bottom, until the construction is complete. It is very likely that the Shaw Valley Trail will also be cut off at the south end because they are building an access road for all the equipment which involves a 10 foot high berm. Signs will be going up at strategic locations explaining the closure (i.e. at the ball fields, fishhead trail, Del Vino, and the end of Carmel Mountain Rd).
I am meeting with Pardee and construction staff tomorrow morning to discuss some options to try to keep these trails open, I might not be able to, but I will do my best.
The development has a trail going around the outside of it as part of the community plan, but we will have to wait, what could be several years, before it is complete.
Please pass this information on to everyone you know. It is imperative that all users obey the No Trespassing signs and trail closures for their own safety. Also, it will help build a cooperative spirit among all of us and developers. DO NOT START CREATING NEW TRAILS BECAUSE THESE ARE GONE, THAT WILL NOT HELP ANYONE. STAY ON EXISTING TRAILS AND OBEY ALL SIGNS. And most of all have fun. If you have question, please feel free to call me.

Any chance you can post a map of the area?

Unsolvable?!?! I didn't hear jac20 and bitmap say that...
Yes, your little plan would have been perfect if it wasn't for them. You would never have had to pay up. But you didn't count on them in your evil little plan, did you?
Unsolvable or not, I'll get back to that nasty piece of business just as soon as I solve this other puzzle cache I'm working on...
...speaking of which, I sure could use a hint on Line 37 of Form 6251 where it says:
Enter the amount from line 6 of the Qualified Dividend and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet for Form 1040, line 44, or the amount from line 13 of the Schedule D Tax Worksheet for Schedule D (Form 1040), which ever applies (as refigured for the AMT, if necessary). If you are filing Form 2555 or Form 2555-EZ, see instructions for the amount to enterNow that's a tough puzzle cache!
Dude!!! I'm stumped!!! Who can we ask for hints???
-
The last we spoke, we decided it would be in Tucson at the next Padres-Diamondbacks game. Beers are a bit more expensive in the ballpark, and the transportation for all of us local team members to the venue might cost Patrick a little bit more, but the entertainment can't be beat!He said he would take buy the entire FTF team beer and pizza, so I say wait till you get about a dozen people and then all find it at once. =)I suspect that this is the reason that we couldn't open the Teco #20 PDF file. It was to buy time in order to replace it with a new PDF file that is unsolvable...

Patrick- we stopped "racing" a long time ago.
Whatever...

Virtual Finds
This is for cachers that cannot get to the physical cache (out-of-town etc.) but like to solve puzzles. Just send me an e-mail with the correctly solved coordinates and you get a virtual find. Consider it an "honorary" find and you can get FTS.

Subject: Wal-Mart Wine
Wal-Mart announced that, sometime in 2008, it will begin offering customers a new discount item ---- Wal-Mart's own brand of wine. The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery of California to produce the spirits at an affordable price, in the $2 - $5 range.
Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to put a bottle of Wal-Mart brand into their shopping carts, but "there is a market for inexpensive wine," said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at University of Arkansas, Bentonville. "But the right name is important."
Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive name for the Wal-Mart wine brand. The top surveyed names in order of popularity were:
10. Chateau Traileur Parc
9. White Trashfindel
8. Big Red Gulp
7. World Championship Riesling
6. NASCARbernet
5. Chef Boyardeaux
4. Peanut Noir
3. I Can't Believe it's not Vinegar ....I like this name!!!!
2. Grape Expectations.....this one is great, too!!
1. Nasti Spumante
The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with either white meat (Possum) or red meat (Squirrel).

Maybe we should call it off - Pizza will make us fat and our brain cells sluggish and Beer kills off braincells... compelling reasons why this series is taking so long...

Did anyone else read the article in the UT this morning about the Sycamore Landfill? Looks like we may have a new summit in the making right next to cache-filled Spring Canyon. Don't know about the rest of you, but that may dampen my enjoyment of the area just a bit. Link.
I agree, that'll be a mountain of trash and it'll probably look a bad as the one in RSD when they're done.
I wasn't going to reply to this, but I kinda wanna bump this thread into the next page. ThePolarBear's face is kinda freakin' me out.
No offense, Patrick!!
D!
None taken... I guess!
Geez, What does a guy have to do to get some respect around here... ???
Though I'd probably like to try.
Although LLOT could easily been co-FTF with the other guys, he decided to do something other than geocaching - Hmmm... It's the first time I've seen James pass on a FTF - suddenly I got a puzzle idea!
