- What makes you think she's a witch?

Well, she turned me into a newt.

- A newt?

...I got better.

- Burn her anyway!

Well...thank goodness I decided not to lick him after I changed him into a newt... :laughing::anitongue:

Interesting about the secretions!

Glad that you resisted the temptation to lick it! :)

 

Edit: Also changed quoted subspecies. :D

We have a picture very similar to your picture taken on a caching adventure in Desert Hot Springs at the evil Cholla Forest! I just have no idea how to upload a photo... :unsure:

When you are on your log for a cache page, there is an option to upload a photo. I upload them there and then open the picture in a new window to get the url for it. Then when posting, you select the little button that says IMG on it and then paste the picture URL.

 

that photo came from this cache page.

This just in!

A new cache just approved on the Bear Valley Loop called Rudolph!

56dfc6a0-dc72-4b0e-be6f-eb8e7ceab7aa.jpg

for those that wondered, this is how we know Rudolph should not be climbed on. I blame Blonds Run Amuck for suggesting it! Please, nobody else try this as it will probably bring poor Rudolph down.

Here's a little known secret (or maybe widely known) - you can also delete the photo from the log and it'll still show up here (they never actually get deleted from the server, it seems). I just upload all my photos to our own cache and then delete them as soon as I capture the URL.

Guess that would work, although I would have to use someone else's cache. I have been uploading the "other" ones to my profile page since nobody else can see them there.

I think it would work with any log - on any cache (assuming you can delete photos you've uploaded to them), even your profile. I think it's great because I've probably posted a hundred photos by now! B)

wonder what the final outcome of this was......stolen? insurance fraud? dead people? We had BRA with us so that would be reasonable.

Trailgators, maybe we should skip the hike on Saturday and have a race in our new vehicles!  B)

Tinfoil

:) Speaking of the hike on Saturday. I got it all figured out!

We'll meet at Discovery Lake at 8AM.

Then we'll hike up and hit GC81B, GCMRY0 and GCMM6Q on the way up.

Then we'll head up to GC140 on the top and enjoy the view!

After that we'll continue on to GCMT5G and GCMTAT.

Then we take the lower trail back to Discovery Lake.

I like how you can see the driver's arm in the picture.

 

09307a34-1762-4e09-80f6-ed661c75d064.jpg

That's a cool shot. This is my favorite reflection shot.

 

cf32bc99-9e12-4083-8726-99b8a0404adc.jpg

 

I had the GPS hanging on the windshield and took a picture looking forward. The reflection is my hand on the camera. I used this image as my avatar for a long time.

 

Note: The image is the original. No Photoshopping invloved.

 

Edit: Also note that this shot we not intentional. I was just taking a picture of my GPS on the window. I didn't notice the fingers until I looked at the pictures on the computer. It was kind of scary.

Wow are they messing up the top of the mountain. This is what that same view looked like 3 years ago:

what you can't see is the street they have up on the actual mountain. That cache will be no more than a park and grab soon unless the new kids in the neighborhood take it. :(

 

also note the now paved trail in Trailgators photo. B)
