Gee, you guys are certainly night owls! A lot of discussion has gone on since I went to sleep. Anyways, I was thinking a potluck as well... it makes things easier on all of us, and we get to try a little something from everyone's kitchen. I'll see what I can do about the lumpia. I hereby agree that Rockman should bring the keg. And hide it as a cache.

I think that's great that you leave them for fellow hikers. Maybe we should track them like wheresgeorge. just kidding. So how long have you been making them, and what materials do you use?

Excellent idea. If I'm not FTF, could I pay you for one?

Thank again, everyone. This thread is helping me immensely. And thanks to those who defended me on the "geocaching is not a fashion show" bit. My intention is solely to find the best shoe for my needs, who cares about brand or look. I will definitely check out REI. I went to one outdoor sporting store and they only seemed to have half a dozen pairs and no one willing to help me. There's a REI store right nearby, so that's my next stop tomorrow. I do definitely want the ankle support, so I'm going for a boot for sure. And some good socks. And some gaiters. Thank you thank you thank you, gals & guys!

Aw, johnny, there's only 7 votes, so don't give up so soon. Stick around!

Thanks for the responses, all. Firstly, I do want adequate ankle support. I actually did look at some Timberlands boots at some stores today, strode all over the outlet mall to see what was out there. The Nike Trigos weren't a choice of brand name, it was a matter of price. They were something like $39. Everything at the Outdoor Sporting goods store was around $79-250. I think I want something not too heavy duty, but sturdier than just my Adidas cross-trainers.

Like Jamie, mine's just my name. For the same reasons... I prefer people to just refer to me as me. Just a personal preference. Yeah, I know, I know, it's bland. Better than 1LuVju5t1n69.

I think everyone could be wimping out because of the hot weather... Either that, or right now everyone's busy with Graduations, vacations, etc. The grass *was* growing around here, but it's turning brown really fast! Keep on cachin', peoples!

If you can consider Golf or Bowling a sport, *anything's* game. Err... no pun intended. I'm of the persuasion that thinks that it depends on how you play it, let it be a sport or game. It's all subjective, I suppose!

Hey, all you fellow femme geocachers out there! I wanted to know what kind of shoes you wear while out hiking and geocaching. I know it depends on how rugged your terrain is, but I want to get a sense of what everyone else is wearing out there in the field. I think I'm getting some Nike Air Trigos. Any opinions on these? You know that this shoe thing is important to us women... <-- [edit 6/16/02 note: sarcasm) [This message was edited by CourtneyP on June 16, 2002 at 09:24 PM.]

Mac users can use IRCle or, if you're well versed in OS X's terminal, you can use b*tchX (sorry, link gets censored, just try b*tchX.com) or epic.

The bottom line is, To each their own. I won't step in your poop if you won't step in mine. Or something like that. ::mumble mumble::
