*** This Just In***

Recommended Posts

Since the "This Just In" thing seems to be cactching on, I thought it would be cool to have a thread where folks post their latest caching photos. Thanks to Harmon for the idea. I will start things out:

 

In keeping with the OT, I will post this answer to the question 'why would "grownups" go geocaching?':

Taken at the site of a regular cache in the middle of a series of stats-caches in a nearby forest. Loving it ;)

A true paradise for Geocaching judging by your photo. That's

quite a power trail you have, wish I could spend some time

logging finds in that fabulous forest. Send us some of your

rain and we'll send back a few of our earthquakes.

 

Glad you decided to use our "This just in ..." thread. It's open

for everybody and most of our local Geocachers have deserted

it in favor of FaceBook. Too bad.

Sheez.. it's not until now I realize this was for SW USA .. woops. Sorry.

 

But yes, it surely is quite a paradise, this little patch of land right there. Still need to go back and pick up the remaining 20+ caches too, so I will 'have to' go back and enjoy it once more :D

Jodi & Barrie,

 

Whew! my pillow kept me awake most of the night. Kept

whispering "You've really done it this time Harmon."

 

Taking it to the limit is always an uncertain adventure

when it comes to Photoshop so I posted this one in a

way that is easy to take down even after the editing

option expires. I stand ready to take it down if there

are hurt feelings, naturally.

 

Thing is that there's not much in the way of interesting

Facebook images on the Internet, too simplistic for the

most part. ... and then the Heroines layout popped up.

 

Say, ain't Jim a sweetheart in that pink hat?

These were taken just a few days ago but it's changed very little from when I played here as a kid.

 

Feeling a bit ripped off by this -- not once in the eleven years that I played here did I ever find any unexploded ordinance. (I'm told that the sign was placed relatively recently.)

James,

 

You're still just a kid. Wait until you grow old to notice changes.

Trouble is that most of the changes are due to poor eyesight

and fading memories.

So are you suggesting that I should rethink my strategy?

One thing for sure, searching for decent Facebook images

didn't pay off that well, just found the three images I've

used.

 

Nearly fell out of my chair when that Heroines image came

up in a search-result... couldn't resist doing something with

it.

 

Here's a little tidbit for you ... there's one GeoChick that is

completely opposed to having her picture taken. Knowing

that and thinking ahead to the Heroines layout I put my arm

around that photo-shy lady and hauled her up beside me

during one of the HoF group shots at the M*A*S*H event.

As it turned out she was facing exactly as needed for one

of the Heroines in that layout and she flashed a smile to

die for.

 

Can you name the Geocacher in question?

 

Come to think of it, who can name everybody in that layout?

Nancy,

 

Glad that you are pleased. That kink in your neck came from a

brand-new Photoshop CS5 tool called Puppet Warp. The original

layout had your Heroine character with a kinked neck so it was

a good place to see how Puppet-Warp would handle your neck.

That's twice that you have expressed an interest in Photoshop.

Good way to start is with an old version ... say version 7.0. Avoid

Photoshop Elements if you want to learn image editing in a serious

way.

 

Version 7 would get you through the early phase of learning about

layers, color channels, selections, and the basic editing tools. From

then on you would be eligible for upgrades rather than full packages.

 

Worth checking eBay for later versions that have a registration key.

The version tree is Photoshop CS, CS2, CS3, CS4, and now CS5.

 

The third thing is that there are educator/student packages at roughly

half price. For that you need a qualifying educator or student ID.

 

Thunder-4 (Randy) said that he was going to purchase Photoshop CS5

last weekend. Not sure if he did. He seemed very excited by the work

I did on his Yrium cards and so wanted to learn the Photoshop ropes.

 

Of course I'll be glad to coach you through the Photoshop essentials

and recommend the proper books and Internet tutoria-links should

you take the plunge. Be aware that image editing is, how shall I say,

... tedious.

:( This is too funny....at least none of our butts look big!

 

I LOVE IT!! :lol::lol::lol:

 

That would be perfect to hang up in the 'Geochicks Hall of Fame'............er, uhhh, well, if we had one!

 

Great job pal, this is a classic!!!

 

Splashette :)

Not to worry Janie ... there's a GeoChicks Hall of Fame in my heart.

 

Who would have thought that times would change so ... once upon a

time gals had to be tricked out into the woods with that silly old snipe-

hunting ploy; now y'all are out on the trails in great numbers to track

down every last hide.

 

Kiss, kiss,

Harmon

Nice job, Harmon! :D:D:D

 

I'm kind of glad you gave up on FaceBook - there's too

much fodder there for you to Photoshop!

So are you suggesting that I should rethink my strategy?

One thing for sure, searching for decent Facebook images

didn't pay off that well, just found the three images I've

used.

 

Nearly fell out of my chair when that Heroines image came

up in a search-result... couldn't resist doing something with

it.

 

Here's a little tidbit for you ... there's one GeoChick that is

completely opposed to having her picture taken. Knowing

that and thinking ahead to the Heroines layout I put my arm

around that photo-shy lady and hauled her up beside me

during one of the HoF group shots at the M*A*S*H event.

As it turned out she was facing exactly as needed for one

of the Heroines in that layout and she flashed a smile to

die for.

 

Can you name the Geocacher in question?

 

Come to think of it, who can name everybody in that layout?

 

Her name starts and ends with a D and there's 8 letters total, but don't want to give it away yet

You're a man of incomparable observational skill and

thoughtful as well by safeguarding her username for the

moment.

 

I'm reminded by your response that she and I engaged

in a little tug-of-war over having her in camera view for

that shot. Randy took several shots that included that

smiling lady, possible collector items. The un-named one

definitely likes the shadows when a camera is around.

Renowned Geocacher and Kamikaze Herpetologist FisnJack from San Diego County

was involved in yet another accident, this time on a forest road approaching the APE

Tunnel of Light event in Washington State. His decision to drive the forest road in

lieu of hiking a prescribed trail lead to an unfortunate encounter today between his

vehicle and a stately fir tree that was doing nothing more than minding it’s own

business as it has done for a hundred years or more.

 

Damage was limited to a shattered rear-view mirror once securely mounted on the

passenger side of FisnJack’s vehicle. The perpetrator abandoned his ill-advised plan

to drive to the event using a forest road. Instead he returned to the trailhead

parking lot like everybody else attending the event.

 

Luckily a team of our Geocaching Forum field-reporters happened upon the damaged

vehicle and affected repair using an array of slightly-used adhesive bandages found

in the lining of their daypacks.

 

The perpetrator was unavailable for comment.

 

Reporting for the Forum: BlondHiLites and Luv2bake.

 

FisnJack vs. Fir Tree: Guess who lost.

 

Note to Self: If you drive into a tree in the forest when nobody is around do you have to admit it?

 

Snakes: 2

Tree: 1

FisnJack: 0

BIGFOOT FOUND!

 

For years wildlife experts and hunters have searched the northwest

forests for an illusive creature commonly known as Bigfoot or even

more formally as Sasquatch. All efforts to track and to photograph

the creature have failed ... until today.

 

Two San Diego GeoChicks, BlondHiLites and Luv2bake, have hit

upon a strategy to lure Bigfoot out of the primeval forest at will

using baked goods.

 

The two blonds from San Diego County also reported that Bigfoot

actually speaks simple words and phrases in plain English although

he seemed fixated on the phrase "Sprinkles, dammit, want sprinkles!"

 

Bigfoot Encounter!

Dear lord...

 

I am at a loss for words... Shock, horror, and envy are flooding through me right now. Those incredible photographs must only be bypassed by the incredible adventures that spawned them.

 

What have I gotten myself into... Only one way to find out.

Run for it!

 

You are surrounded by the craziest Geocachers on the planet.

Start out easy in Colorado or Arizona and work up to San Diego

County at a slow pace. Don't say you weren't warned.

 

On the other hand if you are determined to experience a trial by

fire then go to the link below and then find and watch the

"View Slideshow" option.
