quote: posted October 26, 2003 07:58 PM maybe its not the worst trade, but it certainly annoyed me. On a cache I recently hid a person two two items (decent ones too mind you) and left one item, which they half used on the way. Now I understand why they used it, but if you're gonna leave a used item, dont take 2 new ones. (if you knew what the item was, you wouldnt want it used...) I'm not naming items, or caches since I'm not completely pissed. I'm just really... I can't even say annoyed. This person seemed really nice, so I just don't get why they would do a 2 for half... Anyone who is that curious can easily find out who and what from what I have said... Is your real name Clark Kent? This is the most mild-mannered entry I have read in the forums in ages. Wow.

I think it sounds neat, beats draping a coral atoll with pink plastic. It is too bad I am so far away, not getting close anytime soon, I would like to have participated. And it does seem a good fit for geocachers. cachewidow "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

At the last biker dance I attended, a nice young miss was discreetly showing her tattoos at the behest of the young gentlemen manning the candy table. She started with one shoulder, moved to her calf, then coyly displayed the upper chest. By the time they got to her derriere, the boys had had enough & demanded to see the entire artwork. As she shimmied down her waistband just a tiny bit more, the most impatient spectator took matters into his own hands, skinned off her pants & bit her rear. Our table had beer shooting out of our noses we were laughing so hard. I believe she received a little extra in her purchase for being a good sport. "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service.

The best way to eat cabbage is Cabbage Rolls! Just the saurkraut kind, no tomatoes please. And only make them in the fall/winter when the cabbage is yummy. And with pork, not beef. Gently warmed, lotsa butter & salt & pepper...'scuse me, lunch time. "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

Juliamark, today we actually saw daylight, through the cloud cover. The monsoon has let up a bit, but got 129mm rain in 24hrs Thursday & Friday. The grass is nice and green, though, gotta get out there & mow soon. "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

It is a lot easier to govern the activities of an identifiable group such as geocachers, than the general public where there is no coherent organization. The parks mandate it being whittled away through budget cuts, etc, and they don't have the resources any longer to manage and patrol our parks. If they can target a group like geocachers to limit their access to the woods, that is one step closer to being able to control who goes where at what time. This would be an easy way to keep a least a few people from the resource. Just look at the overuse and abuse places like Yellowstone get, and closer to home, Jasper and Banff. Does this make any sense? I'm kinda typing as I think. cachewidow "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

Yesterday, rain & wind. Last night, torrential rain. Today, rain & fog. Forecast for tonight & weekend, rain, rain, rain, scattered showers, torrential rain at times, heavy rainfall warning. At least it is warm, you could walk around in a t-shirt & have a shower if the water in your apartment has been cut off. "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty.

It is sad these two people and two bears ended up dead, I can imagine the terror of it all, but just because the guy is now dead, doesn't mean he was not an idiot in the first place. Are we never to learn from history, if we never assess a person's behaviour because they are now dead? The conclusion is, doesn't matter how much time you have spent studying a wild animal, with formal training or not, you will never ever be able to predict what they will do at a given time.

This cave is a regular hangout for local high-schoolers, but the cache is well hidden. Certainly the kids do more damage than any geocachers. My girls were thrilled to be inside, but mommy was sincerely glad to get out. "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

I use 'pediameters', that's roughly the distance a kindergarten kid can walk without needing a pee break (did I mention my kid's love to answer nature's call en plein air?) "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

The guy was an idiot, no two ways about it. Comparing him to Diane Fossey is no compliment to her, and yes, a gorilla could have knocked her senseless easily enough, but gorillas do not make it a habit to kill something and eat it, as they are completely vegetarian. Bears will eat anything that presents itself as a likely edible. If he had never set foot in the area, there is an excellent chance that these two dead bears would still be around, though it sounds as if one was at the end of its life cycle. And bringing in another person was completely reprehensible. I have seen numerous bears in their natural habitat and would never in a million years consider a human to be a likely member of their hierarchy. All animals are wild and potentially aggressive, even Fluffy and Fido, but humans have this arrogance which knows no bounds. "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty.

Okay, maybe this will work now. My kids, Valerie & Carmen, about a year ago. "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

our daughters have gone caching with eroyd for nearly as long as he has been a member. Here we are on a hunt last year. Valerie spotted the cache in the tall grass from daddy's shoulders. BTW how do you get the image to load up? "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

Thanks guys for another great get-together. Those absent missed a wonderful slide show of our incredible west coast, and much cheap beer. cachewidow "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

Ooch, zuuk, an ye not be recognizin' a widda when she's there in yer face! Shame on ye, mon! As if JJ coulda' done t' talk wit'oot sommat help. cachewidda "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

I remember now - that's not graffiti, CG, that's the impression that was left after eroyd finished banging his head against the pole. Kinda like the shroud of turin thing. "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

Good on you cachers for encouraging your relatives, friends, cops and complete strangers to join this growing sport. "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

There's no subtle networking going on, it's just when there is nice, juicy, fresh meat at hand, every opinionated lion is going to jump all over it. What did you expect, when a controversy such as the pirating was openly canvassed, and in so many threads? BTW Zuuk, how did you get that picture of me, anyway?

I am a mother of two young daughters, I cannot read about these things without a lump in my gut. Our thoughts are with you and everyone worrying about a loved one. cachewidow "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

Sorry, Bambi's busy babysitting for us that night. (I shouldn't say that though - everyone will show up at our house instead). I'll check with Tiffany if you like. "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

Great offer Groundclutter. We will bring by something as well. "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service. Guilt Trips our specialty. Where would you like to go today?"

I entirely agree it is reprehensible to hide behind someone else's easily-identified screen name, and make false posts under that name. But as far are the anonimity aspect goes, why wouldn't the pirates choose a fun screen name, same as almost everyone on gc.com? cachewidow (sure beats the heck out of plain Teresa) "Thank you for calling Mom's Travel Service.
