    Well folks, this fella has made the jump across the Pacific to the great land of 177 caches in a 600 mile radius. I've left behind 3 caches - one of which appears dead, so will archive unless someone wants to pick it up (Dead End! is the name.) DevHead, I'll still drop Shopping! to you and will contact SoCal to get the process moving iffin you don't mind.

     

    Thanks folks for all the fun caching in San Diego - even if I've had to take much leave of absence in the last month.

    Left 3x YMS #4 ($kimmer) in Ruby's Riddler.

     

    Left 3x YMS #4 ($kimmer) in Woody's Way.

    Hey Guys! Want to thank Duscwe!!! for the nomination for my card, AND to notify you that I took all three cards from Woody's Way today. What can I say, I', vain! Figured this was the only way I was going to get one of these cards. Think it 's mean that they keep showing up in mystery caches, when I am challenged enough with 1/1 star caches. Took what I could get.

    Will give one to my buddy Splashette; one to my mentor, Harmon; and the last one is for the family album, I am humbled.

    $kimmer,

     

    Bless you girl. No way I could grab one of your cards bein' way out here at th' ranch.

     

    By th' way, how much cash did y' score?

     

    I saw that Splashette grabbed a No. 3 for you.

    Grabbed on of the new Yrium Memorial Series #4 card of $kimmer out of my Nuisance Cache #3 today. Though really....does she usually go for fiddling small change? I thought she was strictly a paper currency kind of gal!

     

    --TT--

    Huh? must have missed something. So $kimmer YMSC No. 4 is in circulation?

     

    I've stood by many tmes to watch $kimmer go for the cash. Believe me, coins or bills are no different to that Geobabe. The fun part is to drop a coin into a container just after she's finished logging and while she's trying to close the lid. Pop! its back open in a flash.

     

    I'm extra proud to say that I coined her user name at her very-first find on the western flank of Mt. Shasta. About a ten of us were regarding some cache swag and discussing what to take and put when $kimmer said "Duh! take the money."

     

    What a woman,

    So which cowboy is on the left? :rolleyes:

    That would be the SCC mascot, the Clumsy Cowboy Cacher TB. Brought that TB in from AZ, specifically for the 'boys.

     

    --TT--

    Hearin' an ol' cowboy blubber is worse 'n gettin' horse kicked. Carpenter from Hell is all shook up 'bout bein' featured on th' Yrium Memorial card.

     

    Said he slept with the picture under his saddle last night.

     

    Truth be told it was easier t' get along with that Clumsy Cowboy travel bug than with Carpenter.

     

    By th' way, who f'rgot to log Clumsy out of Cowboy cache number two?

    There was blood on th’ saddle

    And blood on th’ ground.

    And a great big puddle

    Of blood all around.

    And a cowboy lay in it

    All covered in red.

    He fell from his pony

    And bashed in his head.

     

    It could happen, huh TT?

    Help me write a Geocaching Poem!

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    The poem has already been written. Try Robert Frost's "Tuft of Flowers."

     

    By the way "Tuft of Floers" is not about mowing hay and finding flowers beside a stream.

     

    More its about useful and interesting things left for us by others from the past. As in Geocaching we work (search) " ... together but apart" in time.

    U.S. General Land Office Survey

    in Benchmarking

    Aware that only NGS markers are considered; however, came across another type of marker at N32 44.033 W116 25.477. The marker is uprooted and tossed tens of yards away from previously known location.

     

    Marker information is "U. S. General Land Office Survey 1916. 1//4 S0/S1"

     

    Have photos of the uprooted stake and brass view plate. The stake was uprooted and tossed some thirty yards east of known location.

     

    Seems to be a landowners dispute in this area concerning boundaries of a local Indian Reservation. Also some heated local issues about the Indian Reservation running a sand plant that the court recently closed down due to environmental impact. Hard feelings in the air.

     

    Affected landowner is bringing in a mobile home that is about 75 yards from previously known location of the stake. Surveying teams involved in approval of the mobile-home site viewed the marker about six months ago without comment.

     

    Was attracted by the 1916 date and curious about its history. Realize that it is not within the purview of Geocaching.

     

    Just starting to add Bencharking to my Geocaching activities. Seems to be a large number of unlogged NGS markers in the area were I work. Will follow through on these.
