More puzzles in the queue for this weekend?

[+hiikaash]

What are the caches for this weekend

[+TrailGators]

I thought BBG was out because of positive tides and the times of low tides.

 

Or do I think too much ?

 

Low tide is at 5PM. The water is currently 74 degrees + and we have bathing suits, GPSs and ziplock bags!

 

 

 

Really??? It's a go???? Which day?

 

 

Sad turd day. So who wants to DO IT?!

If it's not too hot I'd like to hit these puzzles: My Sage Words, Poles Apart, Between the Dits, Holst, and Bizarre Numbers. I also like to finish Peeves! A good spot to meet if we do those is the P&R at 56 and 15. If we get hot and sweaty the cool ocean will feel that much better later that day! Edited July 28, 2006 by TrailGators

[+DaMoores]

The kids want to hit the Pt Loma caches in the morning and have lunch at the fish market.

 

How about meeting up for BBG at the posted starting point at 1600?

 

We have a new cacher with us. She got her first cache in Hawaii with Heidi, Shes Hooked now.

Perhaps you should also do Hunt for Red October... That way, you won't have to move the car between My Sage Words and Between the Dits!

[+Team Geogeeks]

Anything going on for Sunday? ( and to keep in sync here.... Sun dae?) Hey...we need an ice cream cache!

 

Yum!

Sounds like a plan but we might not get there until closer to 4:30PM.

How about adding in Dits1 & 2, Blase Clever Rebuttals, and Poke-cache?

I've done all those! I was figuring that you guys could continue you caching into the night with those!

 

We could do Red October.

[+TrailGators]

For those of you that want join us to hit some NC puzzles tomorrow (My Sage Words, Poles Apart, Between the Dits, Holst, and Bizarre Numbers, etc). We will meet at the P&R at 56&15 at 9:30AM tomorrow morning. We may do all or part of Hunt for Red October and we may finish Peeves but later tomorrow we will head over to do Black Beard's Grotto at 4:30PM!

Is there an actual exit called 56 off the 15? That's not our area of town.

on the map, Trailgators posted, you need to enter the Park and Ride from Evening Creek Dr N.

It's really easy.

 

If you are heading north on 15 exit right (east) on 56.

 

Then take your first right.

I've been looking in the mail since it's been getting close to Aug. 1 but no luck for me

 

I noticed today that people started having the icons show up on their profiles.

 

BTW, did Jeep distribute the White and Yellow jeeps the same way? I noticed that there are a lot of Yellow Jeep TBs that have their status as "unknown" - does that mean they never made it out to the public or are lost?

[+TrailGators]

I'll hide it in Black Beard's Grotto and then you can discover it there. I'd rather that nobody take it in our group. I'd like somebody to earn it the old fashioned way! The yellow ones we found the old fashioned way. I think I did get one of those in the mail later. The white ones were to the admins to give out. I think San Diego got 10 to start. The green ones are still being sent out. About half will disappear because many people put them in caches with high muggle risk. I think these should go in special caches but that's my opinion.

I strongly agree with you on their placement in special caches.

 

All this stuff lately with coins disappearing left and right is pretty disturbing - I see a cache listed that is suppossed to have a coin in it that I have never seen - spend time getting to it, only to have it not be there.

 

Granted it's not the coin that is the reward of caching, but I do enjoy discovering coins I have never seen before.

C4 now drills a small hole in his coins. This tells everyone that the coin is stolen. So the ethical coin traders won't trade for it. Anyhow, jeeps don't have any value. I'm not sure why anyone but a muggle would take it. Anyhow, I still think "discovering" is silly but it makes sense for coins. In the case of jeeps the thrill is running to a cache and finding it. It's kind of like an FTF. I don't feel like I've actually found one until I do that. Of course, if they release a gazillion of them then the rarity and thus the thrill of finding them will be gone.

I want to go too but I haven't solved any puzzles in that area. After the latest controversy about non-solvers finding puzzles, I'm going to try and crash my way through some of them tonight. If you hear screaming, that will be me.

[+TrailGators]

I am a little worried about doing Black Beard's Grotto. It involves a mile walk on green slippery rocks in two feet of water when we will be doing it. I read the logs and most people waited for a negative tide. What do you guys think?

-most websites show that low tide is between 6:20-6:30

http://facs.scripps.edu/cgi-bin/plottide.pl

2006-07-29 6:29 PM PDT 2.15 feet Low Tide

 

this is a picture a group took when it was a 1.3 foot low tide so you will get wet! bring towels and maybe a change of clothes.

 

 

I think we may be picking the wrong day to do this. Read this log:

 

First time we went at a low tide of 2ft........... 2 ft is not low tide by-the-way. Tried swimming there but the waves crashing against the rocks causing death and dismemberment soon de-railed us.

 

So round 2. Went at -1.8ft. Eazy peazy. Had fun scaring all the crabs all the way there.

 

 

 

Anyhow LT is around 6PM but it isn't that much higher at 5PM plus it's going out:

 

 

 

The next weekend that has a lower tide is Septenber 9th:

 

Maybe we should wait? What do you guys think?

We'll be there to at least look.

[+TrailGators]

We'll be there to at least look.

 

The reason I think this is such a highly regarded cache is because if you go at a negative tide it is a very cool walk along the ocean rocks. You go past the tidepools full of sea life and anemones like you do for the Coastal Walk cache. I know we probably can battle the waves and probably avoid slipping and falling on the rocks but I think it will be a much better cache if we wait a month for the next daytime negative lowtide.

The last time we tried to do that cache, the tide was 1.8 or something like that. The place where that picture was taken pretty much looked the same at that level. I don't think clinging to the rocks would have worked then, we would have had to definitely swim across. Then when you get to the cave, you really have to be careful of the returning tide, it comes in fast. Isn't that container all rusted out? ~ or did somebody replace it? I think we'll wait for the minus tide.

Good Luck,

Splashette

[+Chuy!]

I went at negative tide and still got wet, but only 'cause I mis-timed the waves going in and out. I may joing you guys just to pick on ya all .
