  1. New Element Discovered The recent hurricanes and gasoline issues are proof of the existence of a new chemical element. A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element has beeen named Governmentium. Governmentium (Gv) has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 199 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction which would normally take less than a second to take over four days to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 4 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more common morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred as to Critical Morass. When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium - an element which radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.
  2. Sunday: Abundant sunshine. Highs in the low 70s and lows in the low 40s.
  3. That means the FTF prize on your corpse would be a free GPSR! mmmmmmmmmmmI expect that I will be out there on Saturday morning (OK, Saturday early-afternoon -- what is it with this "start at 6am business"??? Don't you people know that mornings are for sleeping?) Anyway, I wanted to suggest to Snake that he can increase the chances of a successful recovery (of the remains) by ensuring that there is plenty of good swag available for the finders... How thoughtful of you, James. I will likely be carrying my new Colorado 300, if that will help. I will try to have some cash with me as well, and perhaps a large plastic bag to assist with the CITO of the remains.Dibs on the Colorado!!! It only counts if you find him before I do... James, are you going by yourself? In that case you probably should heed your own advice and bring some good swag for us to collect - ehm.. I mean CITO. Don't forget to pack the CITO bag More often than not, I am solo when venturing into MTRP. I always have some sort of container suitable for CITO but as far as swag goes, it's luck of the draw -- sometimes good, sometimes not. (It depends to some degree upon whose remains I find in my travels.) You are right, though. I probably should follow my own advice! In the meantime, listen to what I say, not what I do... That settles it - if we find the Colorado and the cash we'll CITO the area for Snake's remains and we'll make an immediate courtesy call to NOK. However, if James goes out with empty pockets I guess we'll have to leave him there - hey, we got caches to find. Well, we can mark the area as a POI and notify authorities after we log our finds. Of course, if he happens to carry some good swag it will be a different story...

  6. Yep, I do!!! I'm planning on all the new caches in MTRP on the North side of 52 on Sunday. Anybody want to come??? Either hike or (push?) bike - I'm good for both. I want to start no later than 8 in the morning - it'll be an all day hike. Roundtrip - I'm guessing 7+ miles in hilly terrain. Start from Mast blvd trailhead. These are the caches (in planned order) for a total of 14: Another Hill, Another Cache - GC1931Q Qualitative Materiel Development Objective - GC1999Z Kimchee - GC1999F Economic Order Quantity - GC1998Y A Cache Too Far? - GC1998M Take Cover! - GC19989 Urgent Priority - GC1997W Rest Stop for Old People - GC198AG The Last Star? - GC1931Y Farther Than The Farthest Star - GC1932B I Need Water - GC1932M Borderline - GC1984F Cup of GI Joe - GC1932Q MTRP 2006 Cache War - Harmon's Trail of Tears - GC1932V I talked with ThePolarBear and I am hoping to start this loop around 6am on Sunday morning. Anyone interested in a nice bright and early wake up call? There could be one problem with 6 am start - the gate to Mast blvd parking lot does not open that early (at least not in the past). Does anybody know when the gate opens?
  7. Do I talk alot when I get tired? -No, I talk alot when I've had a few beers - bring a keg! pft and you don't even ask me.... The man with 10 kegs full of beer at home.... Let's party!!!

  12. My bad - I found a puny error in Teco #13 - Stuck so I corrected/updated the cache listing. I also lowered the Difficulty with 1/2 a star... should be easy to solve now (or not)...
  13. Way to go Beta Eagle 1 on 900 The Eagle is soaring...
  14. Does it apply to married men too???

  16. I hate to say it but repeating the above statement over and over is doing nothing to improve our ability to comprehend the unobvious. We have been reading and re-reading the last riddle page carefully for a month now and, though what we seek may actually be there, the fact remains we have not found it inspite of all the careful reading (and rereading). Wait just a second LLOT..it's just a matter of time before he caves in and gives another nudge. ( please forgive me James..I couldn't resist) I personally would read every word. Well, you can skip conjunctions since they are fairly ineffectual. Prepositions, however, should not be ignored especially if it indicates the temporal, spatial or logical relationship of its object to the rest of the sentence, which in turn makes the prepositional phrase even more important. What about noun phrases you might ask?!? I'm not really using them but be careful about adverbs that inadvertently describes the object, i.e. the clue. I hope this helps and not considered a spoiler...

We have been reading and re-reading the last riddle page carefully for a month now and, though what we seek may actually be there, the fact remains we have not found it inspite of all the careful reading (and rereading). Polar Bears look so nice and cuddly with that pure white fur and everything, but in reality they can be quite mean and nasty -- one might even say evil -- without the slightest sympathy for our predicament... I picture him tossing his head back and letting out a sinister laugh as he reads this, fully satisfied that his particular brand of torture is playing itself out perfectly according to plan. Puzzlers of the world unite, I say! There's work to be done, and retribution to be planned! As we once did with another evil one, we must turn our thoughts to the annihilation of the Oso -- eviction from paradise -- it is essential to the survival of our race... He may be winning this little battle, but the war is far from lost... On the other hand, we could just continue to beg for hints... At least my coords are spot on...
  18. I've received several requests to confirm/check etc. on Teco #19 - Riddles. All I can say is to read the last riddle page carefully. It is literally riddled (I had to say it ) with hints and you'll find what you seek there. Good Luck to all of you!
  19. Generally that's the law when it comes to abandoned property. Caches are not abandoned but that particular law is broad enough to cover caches in most jurisdictions. Litter is the wrong law (again the specific wording for this jurisdiction is key, but in general caches don't fit most litter laws) based on discussions with an Assistant US District Attorney that I've had on another matter related to caching. Just as there is no higher purpose for caches to annoy park staff over the issue, there is no higher purpose to park staff annoying their caching public. I'm curious why Renegade Knight and Team Cotati who I assume live in Idaho and Northern California have become experts on ABDSP? I guess I'ts their right to use the forums, but this is more of a local issue for cachers who use the Anza Borrego Desert State Park. Would you two please explain this for me. I find RK comments to be helpful in the discussion of the park, all of TC's are just snide and condescending and do not add anything. Amen to that!!!!
  20. Updated cache listing for Teco #16 - Numbers. It should be easier to get the concept!
  21. Here's a photo of what those guys may have looked like.... Kind of looks like that one feller is going to have a headache pretty soon...
