This Just In... Dawg Team! Thwarts Forest Fire, Bags 10 FTFs On The PCT.

 

Mt. Laguna, CA - In the early morning hours of September 4th, Dawg Team! members Chuy!, Duncan!, Mocha!, TripleCrown, and Willow! had just finished caching and hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail when they spotted an out of control camp fire at the Desert View picnic area, close to GC31H0Q

 

TripleCrown called 911 while Duncan! sped to the nearby fire station. Duncan! rang the bell at the front door of the Mt Laguna fire station and had the opportunity to wake up some handsome firefighters. After alerting the firefighters, Duncan! and TripleCrown returned to the fire to find Chuy!, who was traveling in a separate vehicle, also phoning 911. Firefighters arrived on scene and quickly doused the flames which encompassed several hundred feet. Afterwards, Chuy! and TripleCrown made the short walk and scored the find on GC31AH6 Which took them much longer to find than it should have!

Way to go guys!

Well done Dawg Team! Need more details about what part

Mocha! and Willow! played in thwarting the campfire.

 

Note to Self: Huh? " ... had the opportunity to wake up some handsome firefighters."

I have to admit, I was wondering about that myself...

 

I knew someone would bring that up... it's just what TripleCrown told me.:)

So now the spotlight of inquiry pans from Duncan! to TripleCrown.

 

The operative phrase here is "... had the opportunity ...." As it is one can

only speculate about ways to "... wake up some handsome firefighters."

 

What happens in the firehouse stays in the firehouse, is that it?

 

Note to Self: Gawd! ... now those stupid Like buttons are on the Forum threads. Nowhere to hide ....

I was a little surprised at the communal sleeping arrangements at the firehouse. Duncan! rang the bell, the light came on inside and since the blinds were open, we saw all the young firefighters jumping out of their beds in their shorts (no shirts...because they're it's too hot.) Soon they were all suited up and rolling in the rig! The fire at the campground was soon out, but NOT the fire in Duncan's heart! :o

"Communal sleeping arrangements ..." and scantily

clad firemen ... mus' be th' seventies all over again.

No wonder D! was excited; but wait, D! ain't old enough

to remember th' seventies in th' way that I recall them.

 

Too bad th' dawgs can't talk ... seems like th' only

chance we have t' get to th' bottom of this escapade.

 

So just how close to the campsite were th' three of you

rascals when th' fire broke out? Seems t' me like th'

first chapter of this story is missing. C'mon, cough it

up ... I won't tell another soul.

 

Honestly,

Harmon

Just for the record, I thought about importing the 5b0af852-2046-45d0-8489-227c966e5788.jpg button here, but after reading the "handsome firemen" comment, I thought better... :anibad:

Great job, guys (or should I say, dawgs...)... No sign of any fire when I went through there on Sunday morning. I think at least SOME credit should go to Ragfoot for placing these caches, 'cause that's what brought the Dawg Team out caching in the middle of the night!! :) :) :)

Honk if you know where this is.

A tentative honk for Airplane Ridge...

I don't believe it ... hesitancy from James?

 

Actually I looked for your log entries today

while hiking Airplane Monument Road/trail.

No findee.

 

Advisory for Next Finder: Bring a weed-whacker,

the monument needs a cleanup as you can see.

Does anyone named Harmon have artwork for the San Diego Geocachers logo? We have an idea for the upcoming geo-campout event we may like to try?

Bobby

OMG! ... a rare request by way of the Geocaching Forum thread.

 

SD Geocacher Logo

 

The link above will take you to the artwork you need.

Note that there's a resizing control ... the link takes

you to the largest version of the artwork.

 

Right-click and "Save Picture as...," will access it of

course.

 

If it turns out that Cat is doing another painting I'll

have a hissy-fit when somebody else takes her painting

home.

Well, I'm seventy-six years old, I was separated from

cake a lot, I have a measly find-count, and my only

an official name for $140.00. Lemme see, anything else

you need? Hmm ...?

While I'm at it ... here's rant about that line at the

bottom of the logo artwork "America's Finest Caching."

Makes me think of times I hear some dork on television

refer to San Diego as "America's Finest City." That

self-serving designation dates back to the single year

1976; get over it I say!

 

Feel better now thank y' very much.

Thanks again Poor Ol' Harmon (for the link), although I am not sure you are really gettin you money's worth out of that name thing you purchased. Perhaps you could build onto some your Photoshop Phunnies by callin them "Harmons", maybe it will catch on and you can trademark it to recapture part of your investment. This could even become a common verb, to "Harmon" someone, as in bringing them fame and freinds through creative photoshop editting. I can see a future here

Dear me, has my dream finally come true? I've always wanted

an agent to look after my online welfare and now it seems

that my hopes and dreams are fuflilled with not one but two

agents to advise and console me. Lawdy mercy, my ship has

finally come in. Bless you Cat & Bobby.

 

Oddly enough I already enjoy a well-established verb-form;

that is, to be "Harmonized" is a somewhat dubious distincion

if you ask around.

 

Still the name I purchased at age eighteen has a dark side

that I'm compelled to share with you forthwith. At my mother's

urging I took the name Harmon because it was the name of my

grandfather on my mother's side. He served as a Marine guard

aboard one of the battleships of the Great White fleet.

 

Once upon a time my mother and grandmother took me to San

Angelo, Texas mostly so they could haul a load of beer back

to Taylor County because Taylor County was "dry." During the

trip they stopped by where said grandfather was kept and took

me at age four to be seen by grandfather Harmon Smith. Once

there we found the old fellow sitting in a rocking chair out

in the yard. He was a sad sight ... old, wasted, wispy-haired,

bent over, and couldn't rock a lick.

 

My mother hauled me out of the car and marched me into the old

man's field of view and said to him "This is the grandson that

was named after you." (See note below.) What he said in return

was "I don't give a (s-word)!" I tried t' kick th' ol' goat but my

mother held me back t' slap me.

 

Oddly enough there's a snapshot of the meeting in my mother's

old photo album. Those were th' days my friends ... white trash

and proud of it. (For enlightenment read "Tobacco Road.)

 

Note: With regard to the formality of my name ... my mother

birthed me alone; that is, father not present, no hospital, no

doctor, no midwife, nobody but herself and me, and no birth

certificate. Twelve pound baby by the way ... poor mom ... no

wonder she beat me a lot but that was normal back then.

Great grandmother, grandmother, mother, Harmon Smith,

and little no-name me. Don't take much t' see how I felt about

th' experience. My mother smiled for the snapshot but please

note that she restrained me by way of the collar of my dark

blue, winged jumpsuit, and don't miss th' fact that my great

grandmother was glaring at me and thinkin' "Why I oughta ...."

 

Say, I'm shore glad we had this little talk. Back in them days

we didn't have no GPS receivers ... my first experience with

radio was whiskerin' Fort Worth by way of a crystal set.

Just a darned minute Jodi, you told me that

you had to start working long hours. Now I

see that you've been running around near

Moab for fun rather than pay. What's up

with that?

 

Why, I oughta honk you ....

Honk! Honk! :anitongue:

Honk! Honk! ... travel photos please?

Never fear, Harmon. I got ya covered. It's just gonna take a couple of days to wade through the pile...

That's O.K., don't worry about me ... I'll just sit

here twiddling my thumbs and waiting for Jodi to

explode. Been a tough day what with Goldilocks

here with her laptop and a list of things she wants

to have explained to her. Honestly, that ol' gal is

off in space sometimes.

I love you Jodi, O yes I do-oo ... wait until you see what

I did with the kid that'll eat ivy to-oo.

 

Thanks for the photo-reload by the way. I noticed that you

mostly sent images that will put Janie in the spotlight for

a while. Hmm, no photos of you in the set ... ain't that

an odd coincidence?

 

Unearthly Janie!
