I don’t suppose this is news to the rest of you but I was surprised to find this bench mark in one of our buildings at SDSU. Any others? http://www.geocaching.com/mark/details.asp?PID=DC1453 CreekBed.com

I think it’s a good idea and have considered doing it myself. I started a travel bug that is also a cache; I probably should have included a log as well. http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=5354 CreekBed.com

I have a hiking, camping, geocache, hobby site where I post other peoples adventures. My own are too boring. CreekBed.com

In my mind, too much emphasis has been placed on the cache hider's responsibility to maintain this quality level. Actually, I lean toward putting the responsibility on the cache owner. In the old days (last year) we were hungry to get caches placed and people, including myself, placed caches where we couldn’t easily maintain them. The contents decline and the casual cacher (95% of them) don’t take the game so seriously that they put a lot of thought into their trade items. I do think that people who place caches are usually more serious about the game and, right or wrong, the responsibility is falling on them to occasionally visit and throw out the trash. CreekBed.com

With the drought, our area is primed for fire season. The place is bone dry with the least amount of rain this winter in recorded history. I was flabbergasted when someone left firecrackers in one of my caches. Man! CreekBed.com

In our area, Southern Cal, it’s almost impossible to go anywhere in the rural areas without running into Poison Oak. I seem to get it once a year even though I know what it looks like. Just for fun, I put together this plant ID quiz on my site. http://www.creekbed.com/quiz.htm CreekBed.com

Howdy & welcome, Considering how slow my travel bugs are moving, 3 weeks isn’t a lot of time. Say, while you’re at it, this guy has been waiting for ever to get his traveling cache out of San Diego county. It’s on your way! Hint Hint We’re not getting a lot of action out here in the east county. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=14924 CreekBed.com

I heard it on ABC news tonight. They did say that the government has at least 3 years worth stocked away. Guess we still have some time. CreekBed.com

Dang, I’ve been putting these gold coins in every one of my caches. The government has now called the coin a failure and discontinued production. I bet they’re worth at least $1.10 now. Seriously though, I liked them. CreekBed.com

I definitely have a home in the sticks and the only way I’ll ever get a faster connection is if I use a satellite. I don’t know, the avatars seem innocent enough. Let’s face it, we’re not discussing earth shattering matters here. Gotta admit though, some times when I’ve had a bad day and I’m just browsing the boards to relax, I’m not in the mood for the things, even my own. CreekBed.com

I’ve been kind of surprised at how useful these devises are. On our hikes, Catherine and I have different agendas. She’s wandering around looking for birds while I do the drunken bee walk looking for the cache. We are often out of view of each others by considerable distances. This is cougar country and a woman in our neighborhood was killed by one a few years back. Under our conditions it’s just nice to be able to keep in touch and so far, these things work really well.

Cute. Well, at the age of 52, I have been considering one of those two wheel motorized scooters that came out a couple of months ago. It looks about as much like a stick as yours does. CreekBed.com

Obviously there is no way to tell, but I wonder if “geocaching burn-out” could have anything to do with it. A lot of people come into the activity full of excitement, do it a couple of times and then are never heard from again (or the travel bug they took). As it’s been said elsewhere, most people don’t take the game too seriously. And then there are people like me making websites, customizing cache cards, following travel bugs and browsing the dollar stores for that special cache item. My wife just rolls her eyes in amazement.
