I LOVE TBs, and love to help move them along. Yesterday I dropped one and grabbed 3. I could grab another three today if I wanted..that would put me at SIX. I'm worried this would be viewed as greedy, and not giving others a chance. What is the general ettiquette for TBing?

Somewhat relevant: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...20&hl=griffinox The only difference being that yours couldn't really be prevented. As I just had a similar experience, I feel your loss/damage. This crap make me want to become a cop

And a couple DNFs due to time constraints I wonder, is that dedication or stupidity?

Nay, there are actually *no* lockers there, and no place to stash them behind a desk or anything where someone can watch them. I've stashed stuff in Ishy before, hidden in ditches and whatnot when I had to run an errand...but even though its my fault, that doesn't make it suck any less, y'know?

I just got too trusting...I've never had a problem with greyhounders, and I've ridden over 10 times. I just got too comfortable is all.

How true that is The 11th commandment - thou shalt not leave thy bags uanttended. Sorry for your loss; but you asked for it. They said they left them locked up. It sounds like it means inside a locker. Airports don't use lockers anymore to prevent the bomb issue. "locked shut" sounds to me like the OP physically locked the BAGS shut, not locked the bags shut in a locker. Right. The zips have Holes on them for a padlock..

You might want to check at the bus stop to see if the bags were impounded or disposed of. If you'd have done that at an airport the probably would have called the bomb squad. I tried, they said "shouldn't have done that," and closed the door on me. Jerks.

I was gone for maybe two hours, but I guess I figured that if the bags were locked closed, people wouldn't try...and for some reasonI had an unusual amount of trust in humanity...Not a mistake I'll make again, obviously.

I will definitely have to post my pics of the deer that I ended up being LESS THAN TEN FEET away from while getting some on Presque Isle, Marquette Michigan...

What's the worst thing to happen to you on a cache hunt? Mine has to be today...I left my bags at a bus stop, locked shut, and went on a cache hunt during a four hour layover. When I got back, my bags were gone. My clothes, sentimental things, almost all of it. Luckily my cameras, GPSr, SWAG, etc., were with me, and thus NOT stolen. But still, that sucks hardcore.

I got some "backwoods" Cutter. Haven't had a chance to use it yet though, since I was urban caching today (while my stuff was getting stolen...)

What do you keep in your bag for emergencies? Have you ever had to use it? Have any stories to share?

What type of Repellent do you use? What type of Repellent do you recommend? What type of Repellent do you NOT recommend?

I'm taking a ~20 hour bus trip in a couple days (40ish round trip,) and I have a couple longer layovers. I have already uploaded the maps and as many caches as I think I can get, to my gpsr. Does anyone else think of Caching as soon as the possibility of travel comes up? How successful are these layover cache trips? Anyone miss a bus over caching?

My dad(of Team Lalonde) took my son and I out to get a cache for his first birthday. He really was only interested in the little toy he got, but he was having a crabby day. Hopefully he'll learn to love it

I'm getting a GPS for graduation in about a month, and I'm getting the same kind as my father. This being said, I don't need any of the software, since he has it. Any idea where I might be able to find just the case/reciever/etc? (retailers would be nice too, if there are any)

Graduating in a month and a half, someone wnats to get this for me as a gift...How much were *you* thinking you would want to get for it? (griffinox@hotmail.com, griffinox for aim, yahoo, msn, anything)
