  1. I just got the word from Cornerstone4 about an event scheduled July 10 just north of Murrieta.

     

    Temecula Valley Caching Event

     

    This from Cornerstone4:

     

    I just got an event cache listed for July 10th. It will be up in the Murrieta area, so it will be a bit of a drive for you, but hopefully some of the other North County cachers can make the trip.

     

    I just got an email that Groundspeak is sending a couple of WJTBs for the event as well!

     

    In addition, I have just over 30 new caches that will be released that day, so there will be plenty to keep you busy!

     

    See you around!

     

    I am already looking forward to the next event!

  2. Be sure to do the close by regular cache Mono Cache and go swimming in the lake! (I did while I was there) The mineral level in the water makes you float like a cork! ... well, maybe a waterlogged cork, but it is an experience. ( I almost said nonetheless or nevertheless but maybe a period is best these days!) Enjoy your trip.

     

    EDIT - Added text and link:

     

    Mono Lake Tufa State Reserve

     

    A swim in Mono Lake is a memorable experience. The lake's salty water is denser than ocean water, and provides a delightfully buoyant swim. Old timers claim that a soak in the lake will cure almost anything. Keep the water out of your eyes or any cuts, as it will sting.

  3. WOW! Thanks for your work on this one. Proud Dad (me) is glowing now! This will really impress the grandfolks! Next thing we know, she will be jumping over the whole pool! Thanks again. You exceeded my expectations. Now, if we can just get all those cowboy caches......

  4. If someone is looking for a fun photoshop project, Ive got one. I have 2 photos of Laa Laa jumping into a pool. Could they be "melted" together or "jumping" Laa Laa placed in front of "standing" Laa Laa? Like a double exposure time lapse photo? Just something fun to kick around. I have more ideas than software / knowledge / time! Maybe after a few more lessons, we can get her jumping off the diving board!

     

    Just a proud geo dad bragging about his almost 4 year old geo daughter! By the way, If she could type, she would have logged at least 300 geocache finds already!

  5. Hey, TT- Sorry to hear you are leaving SD. We will all miss you, but you will always be remembered. Hopefully your caches will live on. I may never get them all, but it would be nice to have them around. Looks like you already have some friends over there. I am sure they will welcome you as we did. Keep in touch - See you at an event soon. If nothing else, how about an event at The Blarney Stone and hear Tony Cummins!??

     

    Enjoy!

  6. While we are staying at a RV park near PB for the weekend, I planted a new cache, Rose Canyon Bike Path . My curfew limited me from posting a note here last night. Of course, you know who got to it less than an hour after it was approved! (fastest approval and FTF I have ever had). The catch is the FTF prize will need another $100. to eat there! Have fun and congrats Jeff. Everybody have a fun and safe M. weekend. See you around town caching this weekend!

  7. I just picked up a Zire 72 with the bluetooth GPS Navigation Pak. Cachemate loaded good into the Palm, TomTom Navigator loaded ok with my local map, but I cannot get the GPS to connect to the Palm. It is a trusted device on the palm, but I cannot get the satellite connection to work. The status lights on the GPS are normal. (slow blink orange and slower blink blue). I thought this was going to be a breeze, maybe the GPS antenna is not working. Any suggestions? Thanks.

  8. Congratulations to both Kawikaturn and Flutterbyes for their recently completed quest at Snakes & Ladders!

    Great job to both teams.

    Thanks Dan-oh and Parsa for creating it. One of the legendary and locally famous caches for sure. I had to finish it before the 1 year anniversary! Thanks again to both of you for your efforts and originality. Today is a day I will remember forever!

  9. Hi Everyone!

    Just a quick note so you can mark your calendar right now!

    The second annual Blair Valley Campout is scheduled for Oct. 22,23,24.

    We are working on some fun things, new caches, Poker Run, maybe even a chili cooking contest. (make yer chili at home and bring it) for Sat. nite so we'll all have something good to eat. Then the campfire will be very interesting.

    No marshmellows allowed this year!! hahaha (ugly flashback)

    We'll be getting the cache page up in the next 3-4 weeks, but just wanted to give you a heads up on the date. Any suggestions are welcome!

    Splashette, JB & LF, Vulture,$kimmer, Rotton Rodney and the ever popular Fattboy

    Any news on this event? Is it official yet? Looking forward to it.

  10. Is there any way to find the oldest cache? I sure would like to visit the great grand father of all these caches! Where is that first ever cache? Anyone know? How about the cache that has the most # of visits? That may be interesting also. Maybe a list of the top 10 oldest and most visited?
