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)?
That'll be the day my friend, email with cell-phone snapshots, don't think so.
Truth is I maintain a photo website on a server in London and a photo gallery
on Google+. Michael is sending me a DVD backup of the San Diego Geocacher
site and I'll take good care of it by backing it up on one of my Cloud accounts.
After all, it's the memories, not the images.
Serious photographers have fled the Facebook scene in favor of Google+ where
large images are supported. Cell-phone cameras are causing chaotic changes for
professional photography ... driving the practitioners into journalistic and
advertising fields rather than portrature and special-occasion engagements.
Sea change going on ... cell-phone cameras and tablet computers are driving
point-and-shoot and DLSR cameras, and desktop computers into a dark corner.
The days of well composed and properly post-processed images will soon be a
thing of the past for the general public.
For me, I'm keeping busy with development of a new encryption technique using
depth-mapped 3D images. Still, I do miss the interaction we once had with the
Geocaching Forum.
So it goes,
Harmon

A few years back I put up a web site for SD Cache Event Team photos. I've had a lot of fun with it, but it doesn't see much use of late and it is time to retire it gracefully. I know Harmon uses it a lot, but Facebook has evolved as the more common way to share photos and comments about our favorite outdoor activity. If there are photos on the SDGeocachers web site you want to keep, just download them by right-clicking on them and choosing 'save image'. I will be archiving the site contents, so if you have a large number of photos you'd like to preserve, please contact me and we can work something out. Harmon: I've got your back, ol' bud
The web site will 'go dark' on 15 Nov 2012.
I've had a lot of fun with the site and I hope it has been useful for the Cache Event Teams over the years. I don't geocache much any more, but I'll always treasure my "first to find" on the DAK Girls' TOMB RAIDER cache. That was a tough puzzle cache and a great adventure!
I still get out exploring the San Diego (and AZ, NV, and UT) back-country quite a bit. I hope to run into some old geocaching pals on the road!

Michael,
You've been a prince by supporting the site for such a long time.
I would step in but for nine grandchildren and my sweet ex-nun
bride.
I've seen some images of late showing your recent activities you
rascal you.
Live it up pal,
Harmon

Are you referring to my awesome Utilikilt Harmon?
Don't tempt me Michael ... you know what photos I have!
Note to Self: Hate t' see an ol' man go bad like this.

Hey James,
There's some openings aboard tall-ship H.M.S. Bounty
you might be interested in. Lot's of rope thingies
aboard the Bounty for you to pull on.
Just so you know,
Harmon
I'm afraid that HMS Bounty is no more -- so there are no more rope thingies to pull on.
14 crew were rescued (including a former member of our crew at the Maritime Museum.) Two remain missing.
One found since but unresponsive.

Jodi dearest ...
Do we need a permit from you to place a birdhouse hide?
Relinked the image.
You're darn right you do! wait til you see the one that I just made for you!!!!! I might even post a picture here for you to see......PS....I think my patent pending is almost posted!
Patented? by any chance do you own an iPhone?
As you might expect I'm anxious to see a picture
or pictures of your work. Show me yours and I'll
show you mine.
Harmon this was made with you in mind:
Ouch! ... at least y' didn't name the old bird you apparently
associate me with. By th' way, who learnt y' t' post an
image anyway?
Seems like I've seen that Old thingy before.

O what th' heck ...
Here, I threw in another one but that's it,
otherwise you have to visit the gallery for
a full showing
Note to Self: I won a prize with this one.
Note two Self: My first-ever painting.
Note three Self: Made the frames on my old Shopsmith.

Spooky Halloween ...
Jodi & John,
Just to show you how fair I am about showing mine ...
here's a photo of one of my paintings. It hangs in
the Sweet ol' Harmon Art Gallery. As I recall, Jodi,
you pretended to like it when you viewed the gallery
some time ago.

From the Twilight Zone ...
I'm not sure why but it feels like I'm being watched.
Note to Self: Haunted by my measely little find-count.
Note deux Self: Once upon a log time ago I had more finds than those two dynamic duos.
Note trois Self: Where did I go wrong?
Note quatre Self" I knew we we would be sorry that we installed those two little designer windows.
Note cinq Self: So it goes.

Nice work, Harmon!
Say, BlondHiLites, that outfit in the painting would be great for you
at the next M*A*S*H event. Well, you know, if you happen to show
up when you promise to.
Kiss-kiss,
Sweet ol' Harmon

It was just one of those things, just one of those crazy flings.
One of those bells that now and then rings, just one of those things.
OUCH !!!! You OK after that ?
Can't wait 'til somebody begs for the hat-story. For now I'll just say that
I figured out a way to take my mind off of my painfully bruised heel. For
a teaser let me just say that it was the fault of Team LSD; you know, sort
of.

Another tree creepy ...
You are never alone in the forest, tree creepies are watching you.

James of LLOT surely gets around.
For some reason I can't figure out a LLOT photo is most-often used when I'm
experimenting with Photoshop techniques.
Probably LLOT photos are the most abuse-worthy...
By the way, have you noticed that the horizontal center strip of the image (both the sky/trees and the rock itself) are evocative of Mandelbrot sets?
See there, one of my most informed admirers if admirer you be.
That's the sort of thing that happened with the Iron Mountain
sand image I've shown several times; you know, with all of the
obscure but interesting faces.
Mandelbrot was a clever ol' fellow. I like clever ol' fellows.
Note to Self: Whoohoo, I generated a Mandelbrot Set without even trying.

Hmmm...As I recall, you had used Photoshop to remove the guy in the background with the red shirt. It's seems that he was just hiding...
Ha! fooled you, there were two guys in red tees in that image but I removed
only one, or to be precise I removed one and added one.
Story of my life, nobody notices poor ol' Harmon. Spent half my youth on a
Greyhound bus trying to catch up with my mother and stepdad. I often wondered
why they always moved after I went to bed and fell asleep. On the good side I
developed a terrific sense of direction.
For some reason I can't figure out a LLOT photo is most-often used when I'm
experimenting with Photoshop techniques. It won't seem obvious from the image
above but in this case the experiment has to do with mirroring cityscapes so's
they seem to be at lakeside. All I need now is a cityscape image as opposed to
your rock-pushing image.

RocketMan showing the effects of years of exposure to liquid oxygen. So sad.
Note to Self: Good thing he didn't wear those unbunched socks in San Diego County.
Note two Self: Y' can't get this kind of good stuff on Facebook.
