Dang, only thing I keep run'n into is tree limbs, and spider webs. Good thing those spiders don't get mad and bite. I bought a GPSr so the ladies would stop telling me to get lost. It didn't work .

Ok, but why just Pa, and NJ? Are they just a worse shot up there than us WV boys? I bought a GPSr so the ladies would stop telling me to get lost. It didn't work .

This photo is the geocache minus the required gps in the photo. It was a virtual called Picture perfect bridge that I've mentioned in previous posts. The picture is taken from the same point as the sunset was. I just love the sunset one that I took. .

I have a geat sunset photo, and a nice photo of a train going through the gorge. The pictures were taken July 20 2003.... http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/log/display/1742702_300.jpg this Sunset is at of the cache area. The cache is a virtual where you must go to this point and take a picture of the New River Gorge Bridge with your GPSr in the photo. The New River Gorge Bridge is the longest Steel Arch bridge in the world. I also have a photo of the bridge without the gps in it. I bought a GPSr so the ladies would stop telling me to get lost.

Here's one with a twist. "One small step for man, one giant leap for a geocacher." Neil Armstrong BTW I got first dibs on putting a geocache on the moon. Now were did I put that dynomite? I bought a GPSr so the ladies would stop telling me to get lost. It didn't work .

quote:...Is there is something to be afraid of to the point of "make sure that they see you place you gun in the holster". WV Dan? Beta Test? Trixxster The point of making sure they see you place your gun in the holster is that it's a proven fact that if someone has the intent of doing harm to you they may change their mind if they know you are armed. Henceforth, there would be no need to even fire your weapon, and then go to court to prove the jerk was going to hurt you. I bought a GPSr so the ladies would stop telling me to get lost.

I think the charity should be an organization that in some way contributes to geocaching. To be a kind of thank you. Some charity that maintains hiking trails, or teaches children/people about the outdoors, orienteering, etc., or preserves lands for recreational uses. I also don't mind the money supporting geocaching.com. It takes money to maintain the web site. However Jeremy did say charity so if that what they want, give it to an organization that at least recognizes geocahing or contributes to it in some form.

Some people also use it when they are not sure of the spelling of a word. Back on topic. I usually ask people who are in an area of a cache if they are geocaching. If they have no idea what it is, I tell them about geocaching and offer to let them use my gps to find the near by cache. Several people have been very interested in it.

Sorry about the previous post where I quoted my self. I hit the wrong button. For the photos, I had to reduce the size for the post, but I have unedited sizes of the pics saved on my computer, so if chosen I can send those.

I'd be happy to help. Email me through Geocaching.com by clicking on my name above my avitar to the left. Then select the view my profile. In my profile you have an option to email me. I bought a GPSr so the ladies would stop telling me to get lost. It didn't work .

Here is how we handel that situation in WV. After making sure we are being followed, park and make sure that they see you place you gun in the holster on your side. Then go after the cache. If they are still stupid enough to follow you in, make sure they are carried out. Simple enough. I bought a GPSr so the ladies would stop telling me to get lost. It didn't work .

Sounds interesting. Mind if a hillbilly joins in? I bought a GPSr so the ladies would stop telling me to get lost. It didn't work [].

I vote for El Diablo.

quote:Originally posted by Renegade Knight:There was a time when a 34mm or smaller didn't need a log. That time came and went. Now you need a log book in all caches unless it's physically to small to write on the paper. I'm not even sure about that right now. Most people cut paper strips and staple them together. It's a kludge but it works. I thought that a log book was not required in micros. When did this change? Or did it? Someone who knows for sure let me know cause I'm thinking of putting a micro out soon. If you get lost while geocaching, don't worry. Someone else will get lost while geocaching and find you.

I have to vote for Carleenp, the full avatar. That's hot. Oh God I need a woman, I'm thinking a cartoon is hot. second vote for Bria-team A.I. third for tomebug If you get lost while geocaching, don't worry. Someone else will get lost while geocaching and find you.

Great. Now I have to worry about where I take a leak in the woods too. If you get lost while geocaching, don't worry. Someone else will get lost while geocaching and find you.

I've worked with highway plans and had to deal with RR right of way. They are typically 66' Right of ways. That's 33 feet each side of the centerline of the RR tracks. Some times they may go out a little more for a bridge or some other reason, but for the most part it's just a 66' total r/w. If there is more than one track the R/W may be wider too. I'm not sure where this 100 and 150' right of way issue came from. If you get lost while geocaching, don't worry. Someone else will get lost while geocaching and find you.

Sounds cool. I'd like to see mine on a rock. Count me in. If you get lost while geocaching, don't worry. Someone else will get lost while geocaching and find you.

Just for the record, I have an aliby and witnesses as to my were abouts. If any bear traps are found, it wasn't me, but I'd appreacieat it if you would return them to me asap. Bear season is just around the corner. If you get lost while geocaching, don't worry. Someone else will get lost while geocaching and find you.

If the mountian is as bad as everyone is saying it is, then a little rain, may make the climb impossible and more dangerous. If everyone goes and kills themselves trying the impossible, how will they ever get close to caching up with MikeDX? I can't make it tomorrow anyway. Good luck if you all still go for it. I'll place memorials for those who do not survive in my future cache finds. If you get lost while geocaching, don't worry. Someone else will get lost while geocaching and find you.
