Warcaft and Geocaching a comparison
WashoeZephyr replied to ThePachecos's topic in General geocaching topics
You left out "You B*S*A*D's!!!!! Once again, I shouldn't drink while reading the forums, good thing I drink mainly water! Funny stuff! The WoW episode of South Park was awesome, the thumb drive was too much! Ok I watch far too much South Park . I never got into WoW but I did play Everquest, I was addicted for about a month while I was on medical leave a few years back. I couldn't believe how much gain you would lose by going back to work, then I realized what a stupid waste of time it was! I can see a relation to geocaching. For the most part the real world is much better than the virtual world. 19 years old??? I'd kick him out until he got a job but thats just MHO. Sounds like he needs to live in his car for a while. -
I may be down there at the same time for a gaming convention (go figure! ). Try visiting Nevada Geocaching I'm surprised MooseMob didn't push you in that direction!

I don't think that many bay area cachers lurk in these forums, but I'm sure you will find them here

Hiding a cache for amuzement
WashoeZephyr replied to Woodstramp's topic in General geocaching topics
A friend of mine placed one of these a while back! Voyeurism I would love to place one at my work, I've actually asked security and they declined -
Geocaching capital of the world
WashoeZephyr replied to BlickvonBerg's topic in General geocaching topics
I wouldn't know what to do with myself! That's impressive! We have 1938 in a 40 mile radius. -
Good luck guys! May the beer never evaporate. Beer can evaporate? I always thought you just rent beer? Good Luck Guys! It looks like a lot of fun! We will be doing a 3 province, 5 state trip in two weeks! But we are taking two weeks LOL!

Canadian cacher looking for Las Vegas area info
WashoeZephyr replied to countypals's topic in West and Southwest
Bahahahaha! He's been awfully quiet lately, he must have finally....um nevermind. Too cold! I think it's too hot down there and they've all moved north. I've seen more this year than any other -
Like Uncle Jimbo mentioned, check out the NGA, actually we have a whole thread devoted to Las Vegas must do's, there are quite a few! And since you are going down in winter, if you have time check out Red Rock.

::yawn, streeeetch,yawn:: Anniversary Cache would be a nice spot, check out the link, theres a lot of pictures. We came across this place last weekend, even though its a memorial, it's a beautiful spot: R&B Rockon And if you end up at that one you must visit,Dead Men Tell no Tales, not quite the place to propose but it's one of the most creative caches I've seen in a long time. All of these are on the South Shore, I'd go towards the Anniversary Cache, you can't go wrong with Emerald Bay! Oh and bears seem to be the only minor threat. We didn't see any last weekend although we think we might have heard one I've never seen rattlesnakes up there but that doesn't mean there aren't any. -
Is Signal male or female?
WashoeZephyr replied to Proud Soccer Mom's topic in General geocaching topics
I do know for a fact at this point in Signal's life, he is a boy! Although signal did morph a couple of times at Geowoodstock from being tall and lean to kind short and chubby -

WashoeZephyr replied to Geognome57's topic in General geocaching topics
But would you compromise the integrity of someones elses cache to advertise? Even for beer? -

OMG people we are talking about leaving pamphlets in caches, how did this end up a discussion on terrorism? If you'd like to go down that road, look at Northern Ireland (for one tiny example), hmmm a war that has gone on for hundreds of years and over what? And how does visiting someones house have anything to do with a cache? So how often have you come across other literature (paper) that is not geocaching related in a cache? I personally haven't (who knows you probably have just to make a point). I've had one of those million dollar bills crammed into one of my micros (after people had told me the log needed repair) even if it were pizza coupons, I'd still be irritated that someone was that ignorant to do such a thing. It's not even that I find them offensive, I think of them more as paper garbage. There will never be a happy medium on this discussion (as it's gone on for 14 pages) -
What a great website! Thanks!

Religious material in caches
WashoeZephyr replied to Geognome57's topic in General geocaching topics
A McToy or any little toy (it could even be bible related) is relavent to caching if children (or even some adults that are into trading toys) are present, they usually get a kick out of trading something else for the McToy and yes some people could "perceive" it as push for MickeyD's whatever, to me it's just a benign toy. I'm even ok with coin's that have religious messages on them. To me those are like leaving a sig item, hey, if religion is your thing cool! I have nothing against that. I've even moved a couple of religious themed geocoins, the difference is that they are trackable and still pertain to geocaching! Paper tracts do not pertain to geocaching whatsoever. Plastic "leave no trace" thingies pertain to geocaching, paper religious tracts do not. Now if you put those tracts on plastic, I could see it as being more of a trade item to somebody out there. -
These are easy to make, with a nano, some Fimo clay and some gorilla glue. I'm in the process of making up a couple of these.

Religious material in caches
WashoeZephyr replied to Geognome57's topic in General geocaching topics
I can't believe this same rediculous conversation has gone on for 13 pages! LOL! Ok, in context to the original post that wigglesworth is referring to; Sharing it in front of a church is totally appropriate. It's in front of a church, it belongs there. Pushing it sucks, I have two cousins that claim themselves to be "born again" Christians. Which I am ok with...but...they have managed to turn every family get together into a revival and at Christmas they give me cards with messages telling me that I too can be saved. yup, gone too far there! A) they know nothing about my beliefs or what I do. B)What gives you the right to tell me I need to be "saved", it's none of thier business! And saved from what? Saved from them maybe To me, they are making a judgement, who are they to judge me? I still do not think that "sharing" it in a cache is appropriate. To me that borders on "pushing it", sure I can choose not to read it, it's still paper, its still gets mushy when it rains. -
A lot of it depends on where you live and your transportation. People who live in large cities where there are caches every 600' and copious amounts of unleaded to burn tend to hit it a lot quicker ::cough, Moosemob, cough::

The glossy print ones don't work as well though -
Cool! I wonder if our REI has started selling GC stuff? I know they've had the bison tubes for a while, but I haven't seen any of the other stuff!

Resorts offering "Geocaching Challenge"
WashoeZephyr replied to CentralCArn's topic in General geocaching topics
We came across this last year when we had an event up at Northstar ski resort (outside of Truckee,CA), which becomes a mountain bikers paradise in the summer. Oh and if your just hiking, the tram and ski lifts are free (at least they were last summer) Anyhoo, we noticed in the office that you could rent GPSr's for geocaching. I don't know if they had thier own caches set up but there was only one cache that was actually on GC.com anywhere in a two mile radius of where this was. We found it very odd. You would think if they were promoting it, they would have them set up all over the mountain.
