Question: What's so wrong about Geocaching newbies?
Answer: No personal images in their Profile Gallery.
If they aren't going to write more than "TFTC" in their logs, why should we expect photographs?
Perhaps we should count our blessings that they were able to spell "TFTC" correctly...
Yeah, that too ... good point pal. Texting and Facebook
are Satan's work, more or less. Maybe we should have
an annual event where we are permitted to pinch nubs.
By the way James, we had a young granddaughter stay
over last night and she brought Disney's "Brave" with
her for viewing. Highland culture explained in full!
I'm still plowing through the collected-works of Sir
Walter Scott, might finish by year end. What with our
spring-time trip to the Scottish Highlands and reading
the Scott stories I've come to know much more about
my own attitudes and behaviors. Result is that I'm
making a spreadsheet of the people I should but don't
intend to offer an apology.

Like that 'Harmon' print textile.
Can't play since my main computer decided to go down after this weeks MS updates were finished. Sometimes I hate those things, they often cause more problems than they solve. Hope I can get it back. I did recover this laptop when it was crashed the same way, but it cost a whole reload and lost everything else... then it got messed up and we were locked out of our own laptop... figured out how to reclaim that after some thinking.
Almost not worth hooking the good machines up to the net.

Uh, Harmon, The prints on the fabric are in the wrong places, ya think?
Bells on the toes and stockings on the legs.

Posting yet-another Forum post, the lower Lower Descanso Creek Trail Post.
I hereby claim the record for the most posts posted.
Note to Self: Say "Most posts posted" three times fast.

Hmm, and hardly anybody remarks about my Forum posts.
Oh, I get it...these are all forum posts...
James,
I'm so proud of you, you've got a mind like a speeding bullet.
You are the only chance I had for that pun to pay off. Think
how far I had to walk for those posted post photos.
You get the gold star for 2012 even if 2012 ain't over yet.
Of course 2012 ain't over 'til it's over.
Well done,
Sweet ol' Harmon

Cuz we have been camping in the desert at the 10th annual GeoOcotillo event which had its own moments this year. Just got back after leaving early(0600) Friday morning. Sorry Mr. Harmon.
J&J
Had its own moments? Sounds like a story you should tell.
O, excuse me, no doubt you have told the story on Facebook
by now. So it goes ...
By the way, I was contacted by email this morning sent from
the other Geocacher in San Diego County that doesn't have a
Facebook account. We are going to start a protest movement.
Just so you know,
Sweet ol' Harmon

Mr.Harmon I do not have a facebook account and the "extra" story has not been told there. Other stories about the good time have been though. I am ready to protest with you!!

Three of us! One more and we'll need uniforms.

Yes, Virginia, there really is a Lower Descanso Creek Trail
and it needs three more Geocache hides if you please to
make for a nice trianglular loop.

A odd thing happened near GC3FT7C, Buggy #13, but it happened
on my way back down from Oakzanita Peak. It surprised me to
see a very long column of hikers approaching along the trail.
More and more they came until there were twenty-five of them
marching along in a sort of tailgating, lockstep fashion.
I stepped aside to let them pass and while doing so made what
I supposed might be humorous, friendly remarks to a few of the
passing individuals. They passed on as a unit without pause or
conversation as if a squadron of misanthropes.
Once they passed I looked carefully at the trail and noted that
their synchronized lockstep left but one set of footprints in the
dust of the trail; that set being the twenty-fifth person at the
rear of the column. How odd, a sight I have seen never before.
Thinking back on the unusual experience I might consider some
doubt as to whether or not it really happened. Luckily I passed
on down the trail into the meadow and encountered there a twenty-
sixth member of the silent squadron with his lunch spread trailside
while he sat in the weeds to enjoy his repast. I stopped in hopes
of exchanging pleasantries and, I freely admit, held out hope of
rounding out my impressions about so unusual an encounter.
In the end I simply vocalized a speculation, asking of the seated
feaster "Sierra Club walk-a-bout perhaps?" He shook his head in
affirmative directions while munching upon his fare. What that
left me to do was to march on while wondering what there might
be about my appearance or behavior that had rendered me as a
persona non grata with so many hikers?
Damfino,
Poor ol' Harmon

Mike,
Thanks for maintaining that site for so long. Not many even get on these forums now. I visit once in a while but Jodi doesn't even respond to Harmon's digs anymore. The evolution of social media continues.... We will look to save some pictures. Happy trails to you Commander.
John and Jodi
Are you saying if poor ol' Harmon wants to keep playing with us, he is going to have to go over to the dark side (FB)?
I think so but the odds aren't good..... Jodi is on facebook, but I'm not so what does that tell you??
John,
That means that Jodi is done with both of us.
Maybe we should put ourselves up for adoption.
I'm sure we have strong points ... sort of.
Unlikely as it seems there may be a Geocaching
newbie that doesn't know about our rough edges
and so will look after us.
On the other hand I'm pretty sure that there
isn't a woman living that isn't on Facebook.
Why women want to be on Facebook is a mystery
to me what with those tiny little cell-camera
photos to squint at.
So it goes,
Poor ol' Harmon

Gotcha!
Interesting what can be found in a reflection.

The days of well composed and properly post-processed images will soon be a thing of the past for the general public.
For the record, Harmon said the same thing when the Kodak Brownie came out...
Why I oughta ... but on the other hand there's some truth in what you say James.
Back when I was a boy we had t' make our own cameras out of cigar boxes and make
our own photographic film by cuttin' out pichers from old National Geographic
Magazines to put inside th' camera to serve as prints. That's where th' term "box
camera" came from.
My first mistake was to aim my cigar-box camera at my dear old momma, snap my
fangers (begetting the term "snapshot") and reach into the camera to select and
present her portrait image ... which image turned out to be a photo of a wallowing
African Rhinoceros from the December 1934 issue of National Geographic Magazine.
The result was an ambitious round of whuppin' from my dear ol' momma and a lasting
impression that photographic post-processing calls for a great deal more care when
the photographic subject is of the female gender.
Cigar-box cameras worked perty good with the right amount of imagination but it
really upset me when my step-dad whupped me for messin' up his cigars. Of course
I knew not t' show my emotions around my step-dad ... that's where th' photographic
term "composure" came into being.
So it goes,
Poor ol' Harmon

Better watch out ...
Better not cry ...
Better not pout ...

Note to Self: I have a punch-line but I dare not use it.
Note two Self: Intelligence is knowing what to not say.

O.K., I've got it ... this is the sort of thang that y'all can do without.
On the other hand you will hike five miles uphill during hot weather
to spend thirty minutes lookin' for a Bison tube in a huge bush even
with bad GPS coordinates and an uncalibrated compass.
Note to Self: Go figure.
