*** This Just In***

[+BlondHiLites]

This just in ...

 

 

A weird thang happened to me during one of my Iron Mountain HoF hikes.

While I was behind a bush doin' my bidness I heard somebody clopping

along the nearby trail. I peered through the bush and was shocked to see

an ever-so famous female Geocacher crawling up onto a big, round, trail-

side boulder.

 

Darned if she didn't begin to dance atop the boulder, you know, doing

some sort of weird, snake-like movements and all the while moaning and

groaning with eyes closed and lips quivering as though enslaved by a

rapturous incantation of the third kind.

 

Well, believe you me, I zipped up and crawled down through the bushes

lickety-split to intersect the trail and, once on the trail, hot-footed it for the

parking lot.

 

My gosh, if that ol' snake-charmer had spotted me no telling what would

have happened. Now that I think about it ... maybe I should have stood

my ground. It ain't often you'll see a Geocacher behaving like that.

 

Luckily I got one shot of th' ol' gal whilst she was doin' her thang up on

that boulder. Thought I should post th' photo here as a public service so's

the rest of you can be on th' lookout for that wriggling momma.

 

Y're welcome,

Harmon

Note to Self: Hmm, Puppet-warp with Photoshop CS5 may turn out to be great fun.

 

Harmon...use it or lose it? You may wanna check yer "thang" between the zip up and the crawl down before the lickety-split. That may explain the dance. Darn, I missed another celebration!

Ahh, Fisnjack, methinks you are not as clueless as you let on. Clearly, you were able to assimilate your knowledge of the area into a pretty darn good guess.

 

For the record, it's on the east flank of Woodson looking south at the Iron Mountain area.

Now who will handle the flyovers for the other HoF areas?

Can't imagine that I'll have to resort to Google Earth

Photos are always appreciated on this thread. Surely you have

some shots of those cute, little-bitty Arizona snakes to share

with San Diego Geocachers.

I never do 'trial' stuff because I hate to learn something that I can't hold on to and if I like it then it'll cost me. I've said a couple times before that this is the best thread in the forums (see posts 2003. 2157, and 2309), but I don't plan on heading to SD so I figured I see if I could post some of AZ, and YES you better photoshop them. I want to see some funny stuff.

 

Let me find some good ones.

Here's me posing as a cactus.

As I go through my pics, a lot of them are taken at night. Does that affect photoshopability?

with "camel" as the key word. There's a gazillion of them!

 

San Diego County has at least one actual camel-cache,

maybe more, and LLOT has a camel odor about him.
