Congratulations! ... ain't Geocaching wonderful?

Hard to tell with a dry suit on and my long hair I suppose, but I'm a guy thank you very much :)

 

On the other hand ...

 

 

There's an interesting caption posted with this photo ...

what can you tell us about that?

I can tell you I was very dirty, hot, and sweaty (and thus smelly) after that hike. Still enjoyed it though!

Well ex-c-u-s-e me ... a sex-pref' faux pas,

how am I going to live that one down?

 

For sure the dry-suit and helmet are to blame.

 

Pardon me while I slink away,

The Teddie caption has me cracking up!!

Note that Teddy had enough sense t' find

a clean spot t' watch from.

 

By th' way Mrs. BlondHiLites, what made

you start crawlin' around in road culverts

of late?

Quack if you know where this is.

 

Dropping by again... Saw this tonight and had to try it on for size...

 

Using only the photo and GE I played around with some analysis stuff... I think I can Quack... Not the same as our WICquiz in the Canada forum... we use the GE air photo shots of caches to find them... This was done by analyzing the photo for information and then plotting it out... Never been to the area... but I can say "gnarly" legs or otherwise eh! BTW the problem is the lack of SURF... if you use that term... Anyway I'll duck out and go to the fridge... I'm out of something sweet to drink... maybe water and sugar will do. Did a puzzle cache up here last year the same way... after I deleted the final coords from the GPS by accident... remembered that I did the photo provided for fun... still found the cache, but found my solution of the photo was out a bit... misjudged the angle to one object... so I over estimated the distance... Similar to my use of Point Loma... This time two of three runs came out within 50 feet of the coordinates... not bad.

 

Still love the pics... Keep up the good work!

Doug,

 

Good on y' ... photo forensics are great fun. The body of water

shown in the photo is Sweetwater Reservoir so that clue might

help to refine your analysis. Well, that and checking my

Geocaching profile to see what hides I scored recently! Well done

for spotting Point Loma in the shot. Also that white water tank

seen on the horizon is a useful landmark for working the angle

and distance with Google Earth.

 

Reminds me of the day I used Google Earth to pinpoint the location

of Bin Laden's compound in Pakistan based on the name of the town

and knowing that it was near a military academy. Google Earth ...

it's just amazing to have access to such a marvelous service.

Thanks for the confirmation... but I got the log bit last... not that I haven't ever done it that way... Tools are tools, right?

 

First thing was the water... Since I had to assume it was SD area, it didn't take much to ID the coast area and then the angle of view (rough bearing)... then to the distinctive shape of Sweetwater... really the only large water there... Point Loma is obvious to use

and then the point where the light shoreline became the darker bit gave me a line to the right of the viewpoint... there are some hillsides visible too... one way across the lake just visible... several of these gave lines of position to the bottom center of the image... Once in the area via GE it was easy to guess what was missing and then figure the angle of viewing down... thus the alt.

Not many places fit... I guessed it would be near a trail or roadway... First shot put me a couple of hundred feet towards PL but the second and third runs bracketed the site when I ran the cache viewer to see how I did... I like doing that with photos I see, just to figure out where it was taken... All tricks I learned from my Grandfather... a WW I air observer/photographer and interpreter with the Royal Flying Corps in Canada... been doing it ever since for fun...

 

Will keep watching this space... nice to see someone is having fun these days... Snow has mostly gone away now up here and I've nabbed a few even though it's raining a bit... Next comes fire season... then winter... It's why I don't rush cache finding... mostly collect puzzle caches over the winter months then find those when I get a chance.

 

Bye for now

Found this on my doorstep last night ...

 

Delicious PUD Cake

 

Missed the second annual M*A*S*H event due to another activity

with my sweet bride. Returned home after midnight to find PUD

cake at back door.

.

Friends for life are Team Fatman and BoysnBarrie ... cake was

delicious and my friends are very thoughtful.

 

Got lucky ... raccoons, possoms, skunks, and coyotes make nightly

visits to our place during the wee hours scouting for fallout from

bird feeders (peanuts) and for bird-bath water. Raccoons, possoms,

skunks, and coyotes like PUD cake as much as I do.

 

Life is good,

Harmon

Team Fatman, I'm sorry I doubted you for an instant. Please forgive me for thinkin' you were possibly pilfering precious PUD.

 

Harmon, ol' buddy ... I can't make PUD without thinkin' of you! Hope you had a real nice Father's Day!

M*A*S*H III ...

Don't miss it next year!

 

Yep, that's my girl, Claire. She was feeling really sick at this point. I don't think it was the award ceremony that was making her sick as much as the malted milkshake we picked up from the nearby fast food joint. Perhaps it was a combination of both. Just after Tom wrapped things up she proceeded to lose the contents of her stomach on the table. Did you notice how quickly we left? I did give one of the staff a heads-up about what was under the pile of napkins on that table. Harmon, thanks so much. I laughed so hard when I saw this that I pulled a muscle somewheres.

 

D!

Poor Claire! She sure is a cutie, thanks for linking the

other shot. Just shows how far I'll go ... 125 photos

posted for the event and I find that one. I just knew it

would lead to an interesting story.

 

My first impression was that she was hiding her eyes

so's she wouldn't have t' look at that pack of theatrical

rascals beside her.

 

I'll just bet that the Barrister didn't even give her an

award-ribbon to wear. Imagine that ... considering that

I met another Geocacher yesterday that was wearing a

M*A*S*H award ribbon even though she wasn't at the

event. I wasn't there either and I didn't get an award-

ribbon, how fair can that be?

 

Well, o.k., I did get a slice of delicious PUD cake come

t' think of it.

Hey Chuy! didn't know that this would get your panties in a knott. In order to avoid a "needs-archived" log, I went ahead and posted the days the train runs. I do understand, as well as you might also, that this particular cache is very easy to find. So, Next time you post a comment please try to avoid to comment on the exact spot the cache is located. The fun of finding a cache is the hunt and not the giveaways on the logs.

Uhm, well ... that one got shared with the gang

that drove Otay Mountain Truck Trail a very long

time ago. As I recall you were there that day

and also you completed a find-count milestone as

well. Thing was that a few of you split off from

the convoy before the PUD cake was served. I ate

your piece; in fact, you had two servings that I

had to eat for you as well as eating my own two

servings. I was smart enough to have the PUD-cake

baker riding along as a passenger in my truck.

Here's the way I worked it all out -

 

BoysnBarrie + PUD Cake = Harmon + Truck

 

I'm old and now-and-then I'm stupid but I'm never

hungry. Life don't get no gooder than that!

 

Note to Self: The only man in history to have a PUD cake atop Otay Mountain.
