Begging door to door in a senior manufactured-home park
is starting to pay off. I've got a batch of med' bottles
all wrapped up and ready to go for my next CRSP outing.
You know, I'm rather surprised at this. I figured that all those pill bottles were from your own meds...
The general concensus is that he has been off his meds for quite some time

Out hiking yesterday and was startled twice by buzztails right next to caches near sweetwater lake. Seems kinda early in the season for these to be out, but serves as a reminder to all. Both of these were near caches named after Harmon, I am not sure there is a connection, but a cautious cacher might be extra careful around anything named "Harmon", this caution probably extends to forum posts as well.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: 
(Note to self: The old guy will probably complain about my phone-camera again)

That ain't th' way I heard it ...
Saquaroed! (Revolt of the Triffids?)
Bigfoot!
Ol' Hotpants.
Note to Self: Somebody needs a growed-up cam'ra.
Funny additions, but not all the locations were cacher-friendly, I think Jodi placed a "Harmon come get it" cache near this location.

We have finally rested from our Yuma adventure and wanted to share some interesting finds. These were out in the desert, so may have been a mirage.
The first was J&J's FJ in it's hometown "Yodaville" although it is hard to read the placemarker, there is actually a cache here
The second amazing occurance was Splashes having thier new Jeep delivered to them at the Yuma event, everyone was very impressed.
Notice the smile on the delivery guys face after Steve tipped him.

Dang! my ship has finally come in but who ever heard of a bakery ship?
A day or two ago Jodi brought home-baked coffee-cake to me. Today I
found a large bag of fresh donuts and a larger bag of Geocaching
containers and swag at my front door, delivered by the much admired
BlondHiLites.
Now if I can just figure out how to divert the girls into the meat and
taters aisle at the supermarket then Sandy and I will be keeky-walkin'
down th' middle of easy street.
Thank you for th' donuts BlondHiLites, I'll make sure to place them as
agreed along the Highway-79 corridor. Sorry I missed your visit by being
behind the house preparing my bulk-shipment of Geocache containers for
the self-same mission.
Kiss-kiss,
Sweet ol' Harmon
Diet Coke and Donuts, looks like you are already "carbo loading" for the long hikes

Greetings Gang,
We're looking to plan a trip out west. A family member recommended Sedona, AZ and a specific hotel in mind....
Grand Canyon Tour - for the warm weather to get here and a nice trip out west!!
Thanks!!
Lieblweb (Jandy & Steve)
Although we are not from Arizona, we have vacationed and cached in Sedona numerous times recently. Recommend renting a jeep for minimum 4 hours (they give you maps) and there is a place near where most of the hotels are located. When not with Jeep, recommend Red Rock crossing, several caches and bring camera, hiking at courthouse/bell rock trail, several caches and vortex sites (if you believe in that sort of thing), a side trip to Jerome if done midweek can be fun and caches again, You can catch a helo and tour the Grand Canyon from the Sedona airport (and they show you some remote red rock formations, a trip up oak creek canyon offers some caches and great hikes and if you go all the way up to the rest stop there are indian artisans selling stuff. recommend getting a hiking book once you get there to find the real good hikes, and several places offer the CD-self guided tour (takes about 2 hours and you see most major sites). Lots more, hopefully some locals can help out. We stayed at the Hmapton Inn and it was good,

Very nice addition, can hardly wait for the next "pillow inspired" addition

Now it works I do have high speed internet access. Just didn't work this morning for some reason
I've got my fingers crossed that the Brit' host server
is reliable. Of course if it turns out that I have to
go over there and slap somebody it won't be so bad.
Come to think of it SD Rowdies will be Geocaching in
Ireland and in Scotland later this year so with luck I
can motor down to meet that lucious help-desk lady
with the fabulous Brit' accent and perhaps, shall we
say, get hosted.
Rule Britannia!
The test site works for us, now if you can just record that british accent lady and add it to the website I am sure your site hits will sky rocket. Of course you do know they do accent-training for helpdesk workers in Mumbai, so if you don't find her in England, another SD Rowdies trip may be called for.
-
:D Absolutely!!! All of your pics and..........er..........alterations.........need to be seen by everybody, they are amazing Harmon!!Splashette
Splashette and Skillet,
Thanks for your support pals. Maybe I'll spend some time to
work up an authentic SD Rowdies Website. Oddly enough I had
one until Cox Communications removed web-space without
reducing charges. Had quite a tussel over that ... destroying
intellectual property with no regard for the damages it caused
is malicious I say. On the other hand I suppose it's possible
for them to know that the phrase "intellectual property" and
I don't go together.
So while I was fiddling with LLOT's fangers I took the step to
purchase some web space on a Server in the U.K. Side effect
is that once in a while I call in a phony customer-service
request just to have a conversation with a delightful British
lady and her lucious British accent. Rule Britannia!
First step was to whip up the example you see above. Kind of
like that layout because it offers fairly large images.
Janie, you're such a sweety and Skillet, you're ... uhm,
Sweet ol' Harmon
We both really like your idea and think this is a very worthwhile use of your time. In life you must find that which makes you happiest and then pursue it with vigor. Neither of us would have selected phone calls to anonimous british helpdesk ladies as our thing, but we respect your right to follow your own path. We say "go for it Harmon!!" ..........oh by the way, the website is a good idea too.
-
We will email full size images of several for your use however you like. Cat will be honored to be a gal pal, the duties seem to be keeping you in-line and she has honed her skills keeping Bobby out of trouble for many years, she has him fairly well trained now and it is a shame to see all that talent go to waste.
-
Just cuz we don't say much, doesn't mean we are not paying attention. Jodi has told us of some locations she was unwilling to place caches with your name on them, as they were way too evil. Just be aware we think Jodi is way too nice. By the way here is her latest.

A man calls home to his wife and says, "Honey I have been asked to go fishing at a big lake up in Canada with my boss and several of his friends. We'll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting, so would you please pack me enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and tackle box. We're leaving from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up. Oh! And please pack my new blue silk pajamas."
The wife thinks this sounds a little fishy but being a good wife she does exactly what her husband asked. The following weekend he comes home a little tired but otherwise looking good.
The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish. He says, "Yes! Lots of Walleye, some Blue gill, and a few Pike. But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you to do?"
The wife replies; "I did, they were in your tackle box."

Very nice photographs. What a great viewing experience. These animals look like they may be from the southern herd that moves back and forth between Jacumba Mountain and Carrizo Mountain, where they typically have their lambs. That is why the Painted Gorge Road is closed for half of the year. Their seasonal migration path across the flats near Ocotillo is a primary wildlife concern associated with the proposed extensive windmill farm project (BLM/Imperial County) that is currently out for public comment.
-GD
Several in our group thought the same thing about this herd. 2 of the females had collars and several juvenils were in the group. The 2 large males were shadowing the main group by about quarter mile, but we did get to see them run down the hill from rock to rock. Because we were going so slow and quiet the main herd stayed with us for about 30 minutes , in one case they came within 200 feet from one of the jeeps as we stopped.

Note to Self: Maybe I should mention that it's been Photoshopped a tad.
Note: Look carefully for faces ... how many do you see.
Note: Some call it art.
Note: Some day my prints will come.
Neat artwork, did you want to count unique faces or include repetitions of faces as well? I see one that repeats, and a couple of really mean looking ones that don't... so far. Gave up for now after a quick look since I ran out of fingers!
Doug 7rxc
Wow! a response from the Canadian Provinces, thanks pal.
Nowadays I can count the number of Forum-thread responses
per month on one handful of fingers.... I especially enjoy the large females faces and
the large catfish faces of the background image. Also the
large fanged-dawg that appears on the sphere. Harmon
SD Rowdies
Spoiler Alert!!!! First you get us looking for faces in the sand, and in the next post the sand has been photoshopped to include one of the local geobabe's face. Make sure you don't say anything too "dirty" or gritty and get yourself in trouble yet again. It's always somethin when Harmons postin.

We took a "nice easy jeep ride" north of the stone desert tower in in-koh-pah, aside from rock jumping for about 3 hours here is what we saw
Only one small scratch on the new Rubi, but you would have thought he ran over his foot the way Bobby cried

THESE REALLY WORK!! I checked this out on Snopes and it's for real!
AMAZING, SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES:
1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.
2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.
3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.
4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.
5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.
6. YOU NEED ONLY TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.
7. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
THOUGHT for the day:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN THEY'RE PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

Did anyone else notice all the new caches that showed up out at Ocotillo Wells today? THERE MUST CLOSE TO A HUNDRED, time to try go get an FTF? Hope they are still unfound tomorrow, when everyone arrives for the campout/11-11-11/roughneck camo/CITO events

SEE YOU THERE!
THE SPLASHES & THE GEO OCOTILLO CAMPOUT CREW
Cat and I were out making sure everything was OK at the campout site, and we noticed a suspicious group wandering around. They appeared to be sometimes looking for something and other times hiding something, with no apparent pattern. Perhaps this was just a lost patrol or misguided prostectors , but does anyone else think we should be notifying Homeland Security?
-
Let's talk for minute ....... Don't worry about us, we will be OK.
When you show up at his event you will log in to it and will have 1112 .....
Sure, from a guy with well over 4570 caches who would never get excluded from an event, unless he forgot to bring YODA. I'm not sure we will be able to suffer the humiliation of actually signing in at an event we were excluded from.
I didn't get invited either after reading your post I went to Habu's profile and found the page so as you know I will not be there are at the campout so go for me.
:laughing:Actually, I thought about this and realized that you weren't invited because you're the honorees! How many cachers have 1111 finds coming up to 11/11? I think he didn't 'invite' you because it was a surprise party in your honor!!! Now you have to be there, right?
Oh, Thank You!! We will probably see you on Sunday at your upcoming event (Meet N Greet 10/23/11 at Round Table Pizza, 10415 Tierrasanta Blvd San Diego, 6PM) but with as slow as Bobby is at logging finds, we will probably still be at 1111 for a while

Hello Roughnecks!
The Roughneck Rendezvous Off-Highway Geocaching Adventure is just a short time away! The poster is finally completed and we couldn't wait to show you! The theme this year centers around all of the Colorful Characters of Ocotillo Wells SVRA. We have several colorful characters featured on the poster, but everyone's favorite seems to be the man in the red shirt. He represents a true historical figure that did roam our desert looking for gold! He eventually found some, but back then there were no GPSr's and he lost his way in a dust storm, never finding the gold again though he searched and searched.
The first person to post the correct identity of the Colorful Character on our poster will win a wonderful prize that will be given to you at Roughneck Rendezvous III, January 28th and 29th 2012!
Good Luck!
The event page will be up around November 1st, so keep your eyes peeled! And as always, if you would like to volunteer for RRIII then please feel free to call 760-767-5772!
Thank you and see you soon!
Is that Old peg leg Smith that told all the lies.
Great job on the poster Jeff
I had always heard his name was "pegleg Pete"

Hi I am brand new to forums just wanted to say hello!
Welcome, pay no attention to the guy named Harmon, he means no harm (usually)

Let’s talk for minute about excluding people, specifically excluding them from Geocaching Events. We have found HABU to normally be very nice and often friendly, but obviously this was an act, as he has elected to exclude Cat and I from the upcoming “oh thank heaven for eleven, eleven, eleven” event. For those of you who want to quickly jump to his defense, let’s look at the facts first.
To quote his event page “ If you have more than 5111 cache finds bring….., If you have less than 5111 but more than 1111 finds bring ….If you have less than 1111 finds, bring …”
As our cache count is exactly 1111, it is quiet obvious his intent.
We don’t have “more than 5111”, we don’t have “more than 1111”, and we don’t have “less than 1111”;
he added these provisions specifically to exclude us from his event due to our pathetic cache count.
We have regarded HABU as a friend, and will not exclude him from the nearby Geo-ocotillo Campout event we help with (Nov 11 – 13) and may even drive by his event to see if anyone shows up, but we fear most cachers will be so offended by his actions as to boycott his event, please don’t. In fact we want to encourage everyone to attend both events, have fun and share in the comradary and fellowship with other geocachers. Don’t worry about us, we will be OK.

GEO-OCOTILLO IS COMING UP FAST.................NOV. 11 ~ 12 ~ 13 ..........AT SKILLET'S PLACE IN OCOTILLO WELLS.
.....
THE SPLASHES & THE GEO OCOTILLO CAMPOUT CREW
This is obviously is the dessert location for the "Occupy Wallstreet" movement, not sure about protest signs, but the chanting is probably something like "what do we want... CACHES, when do we want them.... NOV 11th, 12th, and 13th!" The major different seems to be this group seems to have clear direction and good bathroom facilities.
:rolleyes: 
:D Absolutely!!! All of your pics and..........er..........alterations.........need to be seen by everybody, they are amazing Harmon!!

Not wishing to discourage anyone, we held off posting the below picture taken by a ranger friend out the door at the Laguna ranger station one week ago today.
But after looking closely at this and noticing how full he is we started to worry that someone taking on Harmon's challenge might have come accross this guy.
