I have been back to a few that I have already logged as found, when revisiting I usually just log it as a note...not sure if this is correct or not. Yep, me too! There's one in particular that is a TB hotel. I stop by there every now and then either to drop off or pick up a TB to move to another spot. ivylibra224 Michelle

Although I haven't served, my son just recently graduated boot camp. I believe the men and women who are signing up now deserve some very special recognition considering they chose to enlist during a time of war knowing that they will most likely be going into a battle situation. I'm a VERY proud ARMY MOM!! ivylibra224 Michelle BTW - I'm a pacifist who realizes that without those who are willing to fight for my rights I would have no choice but to fight! A great big THANK YOU to all of you who have allowed me to remain a pacifist!

"A walk in the park - NC" is a cemetery night cache in the Springfield, MO area. At least I think that's the name of it...I don't have my caching stuff next to me right now. ivylibra224 Michelle - I DO believe...I DO believe...I DO believe...

would post a pic, but can't figure out how...

So far (I only have 43 finds) my favorite hint has been "Tachophobia". I had to Google this and found it to be "fear of speed". We looked all around the "Slow - Children at play" & "10mph Speed Limit" signs only to find this micro magneted under an empty turtle shell!! Absolutely Fabulous!! ivylibra224

Sort of off topic, but isn't "promote Jesus Christ" kind of an agenda which isn't supposed to be allowed?? (Even though I've seen a few of this type cache in my area) ivylibra224

I keep a roll of duct tape, extra pens, ziplocs, and I think a spare logbook or two in my geopack (which is almost always in the car unless I bring it in to log finds and TBs). This way I have all of my stuff with me when I find a cache so if it needs repair I don't have to go back to the car first. ivylibra224

I live in Kimberling City! I guess we'll be neighbors. Feel free to email me for any information, questions, etc. ivylibra224@yahoo.com

I simply tell them I'm studying insects in the area and a certain type had been spotted in the area recently. My funniest encounter was when I was climbing some rocks and a father and son stopped to watch as the father used me as an example of how to climb; ie, how carefully I was looking at where I was putting my hands and planning where to step, etc. Of course I was looking for where to put my hands...I KNEW it was in there somewhere!!!

I grew up "naked in the woods"!! My daddy called me his little wood nymph! I LOVE the woods which is why I love geocaching! I have moved back to the city and this wonderful sport has taken me to the "woody" parts of it! Even my friends notice a difference when I haven't had my quota of TREES! ivylibra224

When I was a kid in rural PA, I basically never wore shoes - other than to school, church, shopping - from late March or early April until late October/early November.... and by mid-April or so I could run barefoot on a gravel drive or negotiate a multiflora rosa thicket (I had a "fort" in the middle of one). As an adult, I kept doing that as much as possible, but never got my feet quite THAT tough again. In the last few years, though, I've not had the time to harden off my feet in the spring. I used to get some VERY weird reactions from people at the park mentioned up-thread, btw, since you get a lot of citified types in the "park park" area of it; I swear some of them had never seen a person without shoes. Heh, well... *I* ain't the one worried about it. My S.O. grew up on 12 rural acres, and returned to them a few years ago - but he was always forbidden to go barefoot because of "getting worms", hence the ongoing debate about whether or not I'm risking my health when I weed the garden etc. sans shoes. I need to bestir myself and find some factual ammunition before next spring.
