  1. There is a little controversy brewing in North County about suburban caches. No, not the Chevrolet kind, but the kind that are in peoples' front yards. Here are a few examples:

     

    Whats your opinion?

    I ran across some proposed language that I have fashioned into a Reviewers Note. I will be using this for any caches that appear to be in residential neighborhoods:

     

    Hello, I am a volunteer for Geocaching.com and I have just reviewed your new cache submission. I am temporarily placing your cache “on hold” in the review queue while we address a problem with the cache.

     

    I see your cache is in a residential neighborhood. While not against the guidelines, caches of this sort have caused problems in the past. Residents often do not appreciate an influx of strangers prowling their neighborhood and often remove, or report these caches to the police. If this is your own neighborhood, be sure to let your neighbors know about it. If this is not your neighborhood, consider how you would feel if you noticed strangers visiting your street at all hours and please reconsider using this location.

     

    Please respond to this issue by either posting a Reviewer Note to this page or sending me an e-mail at markoramius.ro@gmail.com. If you send an e-mail, please don’t forget to include the GCxxxx code for the cache. Unless I hear from you in the next couple days, I will archive this listing to remove it from the queue. But don’t worry, I can always un-archive it once the issues have been addressed.

     

    Thank you for your understanding and your contribution to geocaching.

    Thanks for addressing this concern in such a conciliatory fashion. There will be times when cachers still wander off onto private property while they search for a cache, but by limitting those occurances we can avoid creating some bad impressions for those not playing the game.

  2. John says: You sailor... Victoria Bitter (VB) Not Venere..... :laughing:No beer for you ;)

    I knew Victoria Bitter...she had a pretty face but a rather sour disposition... ;)

     

    I think I hear a new cache series about to start, one named after "John Beers". Do you suppose the light beers will be micro's and the imports will be in foreign languages?

  3. :rolleyes: THAT WAS NOT ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    SO WHAT DOES SOMEONE HAVE A EXPOLER THAT LOOKS LIKE MINE??

     

    I NEVER LIE.....

     

    I hate to be contrary here, but Fatboy is correct, it was obviously a case of mistaken identity. As proof of that position I only have to mention one thing; all the remaining beer was back at Skillet's Camp as we all left, do any of you really beleive Fatboy would have left that beer unprotected?

  4. How To Clean Your Toilet

    1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.

     

    2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

     

    3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.

     

    4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.

     

    5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power-wash" and rinse".

     

    6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.

     

    7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.

     

    8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.

     

    9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.

    I thought this was funny, Cat didn't see any humor here

    Next year, maybe more notice can be given or, with the increased interest generated this year, more notice will be taken of the announcements that are made. Either way, it would probably be more productive to look at ways to make communication better in the future.

     

    Or simply rename the awards the Best of LA-Temecula awards :lol:;)

  6. :)There's been lots of Happy Cachers reaching milestones lately. Congrats to everyone....Just think of all that fun San Diego is having. I know I'll miss many, but a couple I just noticed today are:

     

     

    Team FATMAN: 1200: (Turkey season starts soon watch out!!)

     

    QDman: 700: (and he just had knee surgery)

     

    Toby's Gang: 1500: (half of those are on a MTB) :)

     

    CONGRATS!!!!!! YAHOOO!!!!

     

    Congrats to you two on an unbelievable 365 days consecutive cache finds, I think I saw John's picture in the dictionary under “obsession”. :laughing::) I can’t wait to see what you challenge yourself with next.

  8. A BIG BZ TO CAT AND BOBBY! THEY HIT 200, KNOCKED OFF THE SCC SERIES, GOT THEIR TRUCK DIRTY (I HELPED WITH THAT PART) ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!!!

     

    Thanks to all the SDCET group for letting us tag along, what a great group of cachers, it made 200 even more special.Hope the next hundred are easier than some of those cowboy caches.

  9. One of the logs for the last SCC cache of the day:

     

    By the time we got to this one it was getting late in the day. After the find I overheard one of the drivers say "we can go get the last four Bear Vally caches" and then I here the passenger say "I've had enough of that old goat Harmon and his Cowboys. Let's go home so I can soak in a wonderful bubble bath and wash all this trail dust off". Then the driver pulled away in her yellow jeep waving as she went...

     

    Now tell the rest of the story. The yellow jeep driver had been drinking the water at the cache and was most likely delirious. :blink: I know this for a fact since the next place she parked was on the side of a hill, with no road for support, and then ran away laughing from the jeep leaving her mom trapped there. And you were parked right next to her, I suspect she was not the only water-drinker in our group. I didn't get a picture, but I know others did and can validate this log. :D

  10. There will be 3 of us for breakfast, see you there. ( We have a ladder with us)

     

    Count us for in for breakfast also. Quantity: 2 :laughing:

     

    If someone brings a ladder, will be the jeep.. :laughing::laughing: Otherwise, I can drive the truck and bring a ladder, towels, etc. ;)

     

    I have a ladder in my truck already, see you at Denny's

  11. Any plans for Saturday the 2nd? I was thinking about heading out towards the Sandy Creek Cowboy Caches. Anyone interested?

     

    Robyn of Team Reid

     

    Count us in! :D Where and what time to meet? :D

     

    How about Denny's @ 7:00 or HERE @ 8:00. Let me know if that works for everyone.

     

    Robyn & Kathy

    We are good for Denny's! :) Thanks for setting it up

    Looks like I'll be able to make this one. Where is the Dennys you are going to ?

    I have an 8ft ladder I can bring. Will that be tall enough :P

    Originally the ladder had to be twelve feet tall. Of course a few athletic finders scored the cache without a ladder but I can't recommend that approach. After a high wind destroyed the first placement we repositioned the container and it became a bit easier to reach with a shorter ladder. With an eight-foot ladder you'll probably have to do a balancing act.

     

    Robyn is the perfect candidate for a balancing act ... you'll understand why from the photo below.

    Think about it ... y'all don't need no stinkin' ladder.

     

    I love that picture, Harmon! I have it at my desk at work. I can't tell you how many people ask me how I got up there. :D

     

    Breakfast on Saturday morning is at the Denny's off of Los Coches next to Blockbuster. If you have 4WD, you can cut across the parking lot (Gene, you rock!)

     

    Robyn :D

  12. Robyn,

     

    You were once a cheerleader weren't you? At least I suspected that when I thought of the setup for that pyramid photo. ... and so flexible too.

     

    Anyway, here's some important suggestions for your Cowboy-Cache adventure -

     

    A. A ladder for Cowboy No. 3 will be a plus. Also I don't want to hear that just one of your party climbed the ladder and that the rest watched and then claimed the find. Shameful.

     

    B. A pair of leather gloves for Cowboy No. 8 will make things much easier. Never could talk "Carpenter from Hell" into making things easier at No. 8. O yeah, watch y'r butt at th' bob-war fence.

     

    C. An old towel that you don't care about will be a big asset at Cowboy 12 and at "La Fantasma de Los Cruces" due to the recent rain. The towel will get really yucky at Cowboy No. 12 I'm guessing. As they say in Texas "Th'o it away when yore done."

     

    D. Be sure to walk and talk like cowboys and cowgirls while on th' trail at Cowboy No. 2. Say thangs like "she-ut," "shoot-fahr," "shore-nuff," and "how th' hail are y'?" ... do watch out f'r th' bull by th' way.

     

    Y'all have fun,

    Harmon

     

    Aw shucks, I have a for-teen-footer I kin brung fur numer "A", an I ain't brag'in.

    Count us in! :laughing: Where and what time to meet? :anitongue:

    Robyn & Kathy

     

    We are good for Denny's! :laughing: Thanks for setting it up

     

    Count us in also, I think we are clear, but we just got back from Ocotillo, so will have to double-check with the boss.

  14.  

    I'm working on a "if you build it, they will come" type of project :unsure: . I'm converting the temporary Geo Ocotillo campout photo site I put up into a freebie San Diego Cache Event photo gallery. Takes lots of photos and be a beta tester! http://sdgeocachers.eveningavionics.com

     

     

    M2 you did a great job on the PHOTO site , :unsure: looking forward to following it. Some day may even get a camera to post some pictures.

     

    Really a neat site, you out did yourself. :unsure::unsure::laughing::unsure:

     

    Thanks for the comments :unsure: The first photos for the 19 Nov 2006 version of the San Diego Cache Event Team are posted! The unoffical title of the event was "Jeeps just want to have fun". Beta testers, start your engines!

    These photos are great M2, thanks for all your time taking them and posting them. This was an awsome caching trip but I guess I will have to start logging in the finds now. Thanks again from both of us.

    Where: Bear Valley Loop

    When: Sunday, November 19 (Updated)

    Time: ~9:00am - ~2:00pm

     

    Meeting at: A Blockbuster View

    -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

     

    I have been wanting to go down and complete the Big Bear Loop. I see about 30 caches in that area alone. It appears that we can drive 4x4 to all but a few. Chuy mentioned that 4x2 works if you have higher clearance.

     

    I thought it would be good to start at (GCNTZF) "Bear Valley Loop-The Beginning...or The End". If enough people are interested, then we can meet at a carpool somewhere to load up people.

     

    Those that may be able to go:

    - Team Adelos

    - jahoadi and john

    - 3cd's

    - DaMoores

     

    Anyone else is welcomed to join. :wub: Now, where to meet for those donuts before heading out? ;)

     

    TA

     

    B)

     

    Be looking for that little yellow Jeep! I just mentioned last week that I really wanted to do this trail. Thanks for the get-together! See you at 9:00 at the Blockbuster.

     

    Robyn & Kathy of Team Reid :anicute:

     

    Cat and I would like to tag along. This will be our first time"team caching" . We have been to the area before, but took the eastern loop, and we do have 4-wheel drive.

  16. Also, I am currently accepting suggestions for a new series of cards. Whatcha all think? Just continue the same concept or come up with some new variation? Please do not be shy in providing input. Post here or send me a private e-mail message.

     

    I am sure you have heard this idea many times before, but maybe discussing it in forum will help mature the idea. A new set of cards using the best caches list. The "photos" could include cache owner and landmark terrain features, the description could include colorful quotes from various logs about the cache. As an added bonus I would suggest including an additional hint at the cache if the owner is willing to provide one, it would make the cards even more valuable.

  17. Here's an interesting email I got this morning . . . .

    All those prizes that you won. It was all rigged just like the bush

    election, bush sucks. politel, the geocaching event was awesome but your

    attitude dragged it down for some people.

     

    Rigged, OK, I admit it we paid the chili judges to pick ours, sure they were cheap, especailly Fatboy, but the $1,000 seamed like a small price to pay for such an honor.... Oh, wait a minute, they're saying you cheated, well never mind my previous comments. I thought your attitude was great, not many (including whoever wrote the email) would have donated back all the winnings from the Poker Run. This is another example of someone just trying to rattle cages, those who met you understand your character and will not listen to this kind of useless chatter.
