I've posted a couple of pictures here.

Here's my vote for the closest cache: GCBBF9 Where there is a will, there is a (Airport) Way by MOGis1234

K7RKT. I usually monitor the local repeaters here in Portland when I'm in my car. If I'm going anywhere far from my car, and ESPECIALLY if not in cell phone service, I always bring my HT. I've got an Icom 2720 mobile w/ cross-band repeat, but have never used it except to try it out once. 5 Watts on my Kenwood TH-G71A is usally enough with a handheld to hit most repeaters from most places. Plus, you have to setup the cross-band repeater BEFORE you leave the car -- with my setup you can't control the mobile rig from the HT.

was my first treasure. Should've kept it for myself - the next cache I dropped it in on San Juan Island was the last time it was logged. I keep signature items that I find, unless they're of some unusual value (I hear that Bazzle's nickels are worth much more [] )

Enough said.

Did anyone else see those words in the trailer?

We could all save up our geo-beer-nickels, and all gang up to meet Bazzle at the same time! How many of them there tokens you got?

2 groups, each assigned 2 waypoints. Gives everyone a little more to do than just showing up at the final location. I suggest we suppress any knowledge of HH 8-9 and TDP 1-2 and find them as part of the 'event'.

I'm There! Tour de Portlandia sounds doable as well. Everyone pick a different bridge on their way to waypoint #1 and we're all set! (showing my west-side bias ) [This message was edited by HideGregHide on January 30, 2003 at 10:30 PM.]

But I think I can swing 2/8 as well! I like the idea of breaking it up into pieces, I've already got the answer to several spots. But then again, I think the whole point of this cache is to not just sign the logbook, but actually go to each and every location!

... and free to go caching on Saturday!

I'm sitting at 91, trying to make some quality picks. I'd certainly like #100 to be special! PGE was a lot of fun. I think you might have a problem completing Hammerhead without some help as one of the waypoints is no more. I highly recommend Demonhead Flats as well. Just ran out at lunch to get the CD for (instrumental version). That's bound to be interesting as well. Funny, I guess the original post DID go through even though I got a database error.....oh well.

I think the numbers are correct.

isn't going to hurt. If everyone started trampling around in Forest Park, it's gonna be a problem. I really like when caches specify No Bushwacking req'd. That way, even though my GPS is all over the map, I know I don't need to start heading off the trail -- and I can make a choice. In less sensitive areas (aka THE DESERT, or really remote areas) maybe it's not a problem, but I always feel more than a little bit guilty heading into the bush (plus it makes it really hard to find one's cell phone when it drops off one's belt).

What about this one? Also very close to another one of Fractal's. Coincidence?

Take a look at my log from August 31'st for this cache. I just uploaded a picture I took of the cache, and a pile of newspapers that I packed out. Sure did look like someone was sleeping there!

Speaking of Geocoins, I left one in "A Quarry With A View" (GC570C) on San Juan Island in July. It's still stuck there. Next one out, please set it free!

I know there is a general contempt for caches of a commercial nature, but can I use common foods (or businesses) as part of my clues? Like Fritos? or Pepsi? Walmart? Sears? Not that anyone would have to actually BUY an item, but perhaps just go to a store and look? Sorry if this has been asked before -- I'm somewhat new here, go easy on me, please.
