Whistler: Take 1 roll of toilet paper, drop it in a coffee can{fits just right]. go to the drug store and buy a couple of pints of Isoprop.Alcohol very cheap stuff. pour over the toilet paper,and light. Keep warm, heat food, soup, etc. I had one of these in my tree stand for years.just snuff it out,and put on the plastic lid until next time . Lasts forever.

Hey Dave: How far is the treck in Nesco Peck? I have the shoes,but sitting around all winter I may not be in shape. The last storm I lent them to a neighbor to go to the store,and he wouldn't give them back.

Matcat: It sounds like a plan, go for it ....good luck. If I could be any help give me a yell. I'm an old guy that likes to hide things. I don't think there will be a problem putting a group together. After meeting some of them myself I believe they are a fine lot. Except for one guy up on the mountain, who I think is afraid of the dark.. Keep us informed on your progress.

Welcome MatCat: Like Dave says, there is not much of an organized group here, but if there is anything you need to know just give us a holler. When you're redy to hide some let me know I would be glad to help. Hey...W-B ain't that bad if you BIELIEVE! lol O'Bg Miners Mills

The cache mentioned in the OP is in the York Pa.area not in the Portsmouth NH.area. Geez, I can't beilive how a topic that starts off on such a positive note can go downhill so fast. We all know that here are a heck of a lot of caches out there that are on private property,and it's a no brainer to see that as soon as you get there. I'm just wondering if the complainers about private property caches have any on their found list, or if they deletedd any after finding out they were found on private property. Just wondering.

I have been in contact with Jason Cox the author of the newspaper piece just to thank him for his positive attitude toward geocaching in his article. It seems that he is familiar with geocaching, and thought it would be fun to do the article from the perspective of the guard who knew nothing about geocaching.. I thought the piece was well done compared to what it could have been spun into.

I actually was "caching' a few years before Geocaching began. Back in the 90s I had a Magellan trailblazer I used while hunting in Maine, and the Adirondacks. We used to hike into the backcountry before the season and Cache some Items we needed come hunting season. Having only two decimal places and SA in operation at that time you couldn't get as close as you can today, but it worked. I Learned about Geocaching when I went out and bought a new Garmin.

I think all cache hiders should read this thread. It's not your usual angst filled complaining thread,Just one about what folks won't go after. Maybe it will help.

Bone?...Fur?...now you got me thinking. Anyone ever hide a cache in fake roadkill?

Like Popeye sez, I yam What I Yam. Plus I share the first name of a great crooner who was called Ol'Blue eyes.

I would think that the best occupation to have for a Geocacher would be a Wealthy Philanthropist. He would probably have the best equipment money can buy, be able to find, and place caches all over the world with the best swag you ever saw this side of Fort Knox. FTF races on any of his caches would probably be a nightmare, but fun to watch. Logs would be fun too... On the way out before daybreak I picked up a dozen dogs from the junkyard to let loose near the parking area. Found the cache without too much trouble. Took Trimble Gps unit, a couple of South African coins and Two tickets to Bogotá. Forgot what I left because I had to leave in a hurry .I heard screaming, and what sounded like faint gunfire in the direction of parking area.

re:Phibian With a catch phrase like "GET UP, GET OUT" it sounds like something my Mom used to yell at me when I was a young lazy bum hanging around the house. Not so any more. Now I am an old lazy bum hanging around the house.

I have one Question.....For all of you who don't care About What others think.. About How the game is played.. About the numbers.. What are you doing here posting in the forums, if you don't care? If I don't care about something, I pretty much ignore it. Seems like a lot of paragraphs written here by people who don't care about something or other. I don't get it. If I get into an argument with someone who says "I don't care,I walk away...What's the point of arguing with someone who doesn't care.

I was on a jury once where the Judge in his instructions told us something like: If you don't believe a part of the testimony to be true, you can discount all of the testimony. So if you buy into this ” POCKET CACHE” game where you log caches that are not listed, don’t be surprised if all of your smileys become suspect. Since GC.Com chooses not to address this at this time maybe peer pressure is all we have.

FUM MATTERS FUM?? FUM. Fundimentally Underhanded Methods. You dog...you beat me to it (I'm not sure I would have thought of the exact same acronym, but I was thinking right along with you...). Fum Ya’ll assuming again thinking I misspelled FUM but didn’t, go here [link removed by moderator per the "family friendly" rule] just having a little fun with the good old boys shooting folks or their views down Joe I checked out the site you linked...nothing but FILTH!.....SHAME ON YOU. What else should we expect from sombody who doesn't get the fact that Just because GC.com lets you aquire numbers, that you have to do every sleazy thing in the book to increase them. Sleazy is as sleazy does. I sure hope that the 'we dont care what you think" attitude doesn't apply to the whole sate of Wi. That would be just, Cheesy

Two guys up at my hunting camp were late getting back from an afternoon bow hunt so I headed down the dirt road hoping to hear them crashing thru the laurels because I knew they had no flashlight , and no moon. I never laughed so hard in my life. when I heard them comming I doused my light and just listened. Crashing thru the brush all I could hear was cursing and complaining that they were running out of matches. Every few minutes I would see the flames from the arrow feathers they would lite to get a fiew seconds of flame. On a night that you literally could not see your hand in front of your face they walked parrelell to the road I was on no more than ten feet from the edge. then I scared the Be-Jeepers out of them....I couldn't resist. I learned my lesson up in Maine.....Stay put! I was there when a search was going on North of the town of Dicky allong the Allagash. The search leader told me they sometimes find the lost ones with their clothes shredded off from running in a panic thru the woods and all of their eqipment disguarded. sometimes falling off cliffs,or in holes. so Im about staying put with a nice fire and a snooze under the stars.

Cachers?....We don't need no stinkin' cachers! If they are milling around a geocache they are a group of finders.

If you have a geocache placed, post the pic to the gallery. right click on the pic., and click properties the web address will come up. coppy the address. on the reply page where i am typing this right now is a pic of a tree it says insert image. Paste in the address you coppied. After you post , go back and delete the image from your cache page. If you dont have a cache, just right click on any pic and click properties, and you can see the address of a site that hosts photos. most are free.

I am retired and have a lot of time on my hands. Somebody gave me a can of pain for Christmas so I started painting things. I come here to the forums between coats while the paint is drying. If they counted how many times You log in ,I would be in the thousands.

Hey MIss Jennn, this is the best I could do with Myah's crayons. OBG

I submitted a cache some 65 miles from my home,and the reviewer promply asked if I was able to maintain a cache this distance from my home. When I replied that it was our vacation home up river where we spend nearly every weekend it was allowed. Now there are three.

Wait a minute, the NOOB says to his shadow man geodancing partner there's no finger in your ear when you do the HOKEY POKEY. Not according to instructions I got out of that big box.
