San Diego Cache Events

[+kawikaturn]

We must be setting some records here (maybe thanks to the MTRP wars). I've had to add a 7th PQ to get all the caches in San Diego within a 70 mile radius of the mexican border.....

 

1/1/2000 - 8/24/2003, 500 caches placed in 1331 days

8/25/2003 - 8/31/2004, 500 caches placed in 372 days

9/1/2004 - 4/28/2005, 500 caches placed in 239 days

4/29/2005 - 9/17/2005, 500 caches placed in 141 days

9/17/2005 - 1/24/2006, 500 caches placed in 129 days

1/25/2006 - 4/18/2006, 500 caches placed in 83 days

4/19/2006 - now, 12 caches placed

 

500 new caches every 3 months? Can the SDCET keep up?!?

 

500 caches in Montana!

Talk about miles/cost per cache!

Ok, new subject I'm adding to all our usual forums!! Don't forget the CITO event ( GCTXYA)this Saturday and the desert campout event (GCVCGH) this weekend.. The CITO event is kind of a re-do of one we had earlier, but that was when it was raining, no snowing and we had to "suspend" it. Jahoadi and I are heading out east very early in the morning Saturday.

We're bringing out more stickers for the event...including some bonus ones that are pretty cool.....whatever is leftover, I'll be placing in strategic caches......Well.....what I deem as strategic.

I thought you would be interested to see the map and elevation display of our more-than-nine-mile hike into the MTRP war zone yesterday.

 

 

It shows most of the caches we found, or placed, except for the "Prisoner of War" we captured.

 

 

It was a great day for the SDCET.

 

So which direction did you hike? And where did you start at?

 

Living near Camp Pendleton, I've here the sounds of battle but this MTRP war is getting intense. Should I be choosing a side? Anyway, didn't see a response to the above questions and was thinking about going out this Sunday verses the Event weekend (Mother's Day). Don't want Mom to disown me. What's a good starting point?

 

Anyone interested in going out Sunday?

We were thinking of going down Saturday afternoon (TFTC kids and friend) but not sure how kid-friendly a MTRP cache run would be. But there sure are a lot down there so we could probably pick off some of the low-hanging fruit!

We started from the parking lot on the corner of Bushy Hill Dr and Father Junipero Serra Trl. We went on the south side west and then came back east on the north side. If you do end up doing this path, I can warn you that you will be walking past the end of a multi cache (can only make a guess as to which one it is).

 

I might be available Sunday but I can't say for sure right now.

[+The Dillon Gang]

Devhead and The Dillon Dad perhaps will be out there at around 8am tomorrow or sunday....perhaps both days. we have about 350 caches to find out there now....is anyone going to grab these two lunatics and take them in straitjackets to the asylum????

Looks like we plan on taking the same route around MTRP as Miragee did a couple weeks back. We'll be meeting at the parking area on the corner of Bushy Hill Dr & Father Junipero Serra Trail and heading out on the trail at 7:30am Sunday morning. Hopefully the traffic from North County won't be a problem. Look for the white Toyota P/U.

 

Hope some of you can make it.

Maybe we could meet somewhere around there at around 9AMish?

It's supposed to be cool this weekend. So a nice hike would make sense. We don't have too many cool weekends left. So how about Hollenbeck Canyon and the Couch series? Another idea would be the Elle Lane Loop near Iron Mountain.....Any other ideas?

that would be this area (I believe)

Off Honey Springs Road

 

Here is a Google Earth picture it the area: Map

 

There is parking on a dirt area off Honey Springs at 32.670630 -116.823127

 

Those new maps are sweet! We are thinking about hitting those, but I currently have a cold, so I am just building puzzle for future use.

I was using 7 for a couple weeks but it still has some issues like not displaying the geocaching maps properly. I'm going to wait until the next beta release or the final before checking it out again.

I was amazed how much IE 7 looks like Firefox.

Or a mountain bike. It's a great place to ride.

If anyone makes it to #15, No Boundaries, can you replace the log for me? I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Re #18, View of SR94, I highly recommend an approach from the SE. Heading up to the SE is very steep and the terrain is very loose. I was able to go down it in my 2WD beater Hardbody, but it was a slippery and harrowing descent.

We will be "camping" at Santee Lakes this weekend as well as next. If anyone wants to go to a few MTRP caches via MTN Bike early Sat or Sun morning, let me know!

 

There are 130 caches within a 3 mile radius of "Brothers" for me to do. (not counting puzzles, of course)!

Actually, I've been an Opera user for more than four years. It is much more sophisticated than Firefox and has many more useful features, like "Notes" and "Mouse Gestures" without having to download "Extensions."

 

However, I had to open Firefox yesterday to get some functions I needed in Blogger. Blogger doesn't communicate perfectly with Opera . . .

Sounds good. Maybe we can plan the Hollenbeck Canyon in a couple weeks. I should be at the BBQ next week and we will hike some of it after it. It will be in a group and cool in the night. Google has a calender sharing feature. Has anyone thought about maybe using something like that to plan group hikes? I would be happy to set one up and share it.. Does that sound like to much planning?

 

I figure if someone is going to do a hike anyway and want company, they could post it in that manner. Maybe overboard for planning.....

The Google calendar is a cool idea! Thanks for sending it to me! I loaded it and will mess with it, but I think we still need to post things here. There are many of us that are not techies. In fact some of us still print out cache pages! HP loves those kind of people!

Hi Jerry, there are several but the ones around Lake Poway like Myst, Pyst and Woodson Trails Photo cache have been on my radar for a long time. There are some other regular caches in the area too. It would make sense to meet at Blue Sky and then drive into Lake Poway so we only have to pay entry for one vehicle. Here is a map of the area:

 

You can get in on the calender by downloading it. Just enter Google calender into Google! Then you can find us by using our gmails!

They charge? I guess they only charge on weekends. Both times I have gone caching here, I have not paid. There was no one at the kiosk and both times, I parked right next to the ranger station. And both times were on weekday mornings.

Sounds good. Maybe we can plan the Hollenbeck Canyon in a couple weeks. I should be at the BBQ next week and we will hike some of it after it. It will be in a group and cool in the night. Google has a calender sharing feature. Has anyone thought about maybe using something like that to plan group hikes? I would be happy to set one up and share it.. Does that sound like to much planning?

 

I figure if someone is going to do a hike anyway and want company, they could post it in that manner. Maybe overboard for planning.....

 

....What do you think?

The Google calendar is a cool idea! Thanks for sending it to me! I loaded it and will mess with it, but I think we still need to post things here. There are many of us that are not techies. In fact some of us still print out cache pages! HP loves those kind of people!

 

We can holdoff on Hollenbeck until you can go in two weeks Paul. I added it to my Google Calendar!

 

Waiting on Hollenbeck sounds ok to me, I have that party thing to do in the afternoon. I just couldn't get out of it.

Some puzzles in north county sounds good to me Pat if you still want to do that. Which ones are you looking at?

I really like the idea of the shared calendar. Can I get in on that too?

Hi Jerry, there are several but the ones around Lake Poway like Myst, Pyst and Woodson Trails Photo cache have been on my radar for a long time. There are some other regular caches in the area too. It would make sense to meet at Blue Sky and then drive into Lake Poway so we only have to pay entry for one vehicle. Here is a map of the area:

 

You can get in on the calender by downloading it. Just enter Google calender into Google! Then you can find us by using our gmails!

 

What time you want to meet? Can you say Pyst in the forums?
