  1. FYI - The San Diego REI is having an event 9/4/2006 @ 7:00 PM:

     

    In July 2003, solo ultralight backpacker Amy Racina set out on a trip of a lifetime-a challenging 170 mile loop in Kings Canyon National Park. Near the end of her journey she fell 60 feet. Come learn how she survived and how this near-death experience shaped her life.

     

    For more info see this link: Angels in the Wilderness

     

    No membership or registration required.

  2.  

    Add that nut-case Cegrube to the list.

     

    Done. I threw a few more into the pot, but sorry to say it lost 3 as well. Maybe a non-local "Our out-of-state caching friends" list is in order!?!?!

     

    It seems someone was removed from the list. Geez, you leave for a few months and you get kicked off the list. OMG, it's actually been a whole year. My how time flies. RM

     

    Thats easy Dave, just come back!

  3. Let's set up a long term thread that we can all talk about caching in and around San Diego County.

     

    Hey - maybe a forum should be set up for *@#$% photos. Remember, Tinky Winky and Laa Laa read this forum!

     

    Just doing my part to roll it along to the next page.

  4. That picture at the top of this page just cracks me up every time I view this thread. I am going to miss it when the page turns over. RM

     

     

    I nominate the photo for Most Favorite. Does anybody know what the cache is near or in it? ... not that I have to go or anything! /pun!

  5. Anything happening this weekend? Any interesting treks being planned?

     

    We will be "camping" at Santee Lakes this weekend as well as next. If anyone wants to go to a few MTRP caches via MTN Bike early Sat or Sun morning, let me know!

     

    There are 130 caches within a 3 mile radius of "Brothers" for me to do. (not counting puzzles, of course)!

  6. We must be setting some records here (maybe thanks to the MTRP wars). I've had to add a 7th PQ to get all the caches in San Diego within a 70 mile radius of the mexican border.....

     

    1/1/2000 - 8/24/2003, 500 caches placed in 1331 days

    8/25/2003 - 8/31/2004, 500 caches placed in 372 days

    9/1/2004 - 4/28/2005, 500 caches placed in 239 days

    4/29/2005 - 9/17/2005, 500 caches placed in 141 days

    9/17/2005 - 1/24/2006, 500 caches placed in 129 days

    1/25/2006 - 4/18/2006, 500 caches placed in 83 days

    4/19/2006 - now, 12 caches placed

     

    500 new caches every 3 months? Can the SDCET keep up?!? :)

     

    500 caches in Montana!

    Talk about miles/cost per cache!

  7. Has anyone noticed a greater number of ticks this spring? The last three weekends that I've gone out with Sirius Blackdgo (AKA Dempsey, our black Lab), he's attracted ticks, and I've plucked a few off of myself on two of those trips.

     

    I'm pretty good at removing the ticks, thanks to an earlier post on one of the GC threads, but does anyone recommend any repellants over others?

     

    Prevention and awareness are the best repellants! See this link for some advice from lyme.org. Thanks for keeping us aware (especially those of us that take little ones out on the trails). I have brought a few home (Red October), but never had a bite.

  8. 3 bucks!!!! :P Are they insane?!?!?! :unsure: How is anyone supposed to be able to go caching at such a high price?!?!?!? :lol::P:P:ph34r::lol::o:o:laughing:

     

    Lets see, I did 14 caches the other day and my fill-up cost was $92.00, So my cost per cache was $6.57! Oh well, I figure it was worth that!

    That was quite a place. Worth the trip since the weather and area was beautiful. Nice 6 mile or so hike looped the area. The slots and "painted" walls were majestic.

     

    I heard a rumor about another desert event scheduled, but it is not released yet? Any word on that? Already looking forward to the next one.

  10. I'll check with Rogue and see if she is up for it. Care if we tag along if I can talk her into it? Knowing her we will probably want to drive ourselves though.

    If you want to go meet us at the El Norte & 15 Park&Ride at 7AM (in the larger east lot). We will head out via 79 to 74 caching along the way!

     

     

    Plenty of room for more. I have a Yukon XL 4WD. Of course, I always have the Sirius radio as well! I plan on making it back home early evening.
