+tands Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Ok dudes and dudettes, who's up for the attempt on the evil WILDLIFE? Team Tigerz are incommunicado right now but will be back in touch soon. A late January assault is our intention. We are especially interested in cachers who own trained hippos who can tow a raft into the cache location. - T of TandS Quote Link to comment
+reepicheep Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Ughh. Couldn't even read the cache page. I don't do ALL CAPS. reepicheep Quote Link to comment
+jamrasc Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Well after hearing from Medic and his experience, I don't think we are going to attempt this one. Medic said the water was waist deep on him. I'm afraid it would be chest deep or more on me . Have fun and be safe when you all go. I definately want to hear about your experience.

Let me know when you go, I'll be glad to stop by for a bit. But as mentioned in the other thread, Im not going back in again! Edited December 29, 2005 by medic208 Quote Link to comment
+Deliveryguy428 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 TandS, remind me to come over before you go after this cache so I can get good dibs on your stuff just in case Swamp Thing (the green guy, not the cacher) decides to keep you all :-D Quote Link to comment
+shawhh Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 jamrasc, the depth of the water depends on how good you are at finding the best way in to the cache. as i said in the description, i placed it wearing hip boots and stayed dry. choose poorly, and indeed you could be swimming! Reepicheep, sorry about the all caps. i was unaware until recently that all caps are considered shouting in internet communication. i've taken care of that now. to all: this cache IS physically challenging. the "as the crow flies" route may not be best. study all the data available to you before trying this cache. good luck. -harry Quote Link to comment

Hey Medic-any chance you could arrange to borrow the medivac chopper for the afternoon? That would be the best way for us to watch this adventure. I'll bring the cocoa if they are foolish enough for doing this in January. BTW, I got neck deep and I'm 5'10"tall. But I think I made a wrong turn or three. Quote Link to comment

That would be the best way for us to watch this adventure. Yup... it's already been arranged Want me to pick you up? I've already added the hoist. I figure we will need that when we have to lift them out when they fall through the floating "waterbed" Quote Link to comment

+Voodoodancer Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I may be new to cacheing, but I spend my free time in the swamps looking for carnivorous plants and reptiles. In fact, I spent this last weekend in the Green Swamp. Quote Link to comment

If you want another fun less muddy type 5/5 I highly recommend "Deliverance" Quote Link to comment
+Voodoodancer Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Don't worry, I don't play with dolls. If you want another fun less muddy type 5/5 I highly recommend "Deliverance" No that one scares me. Quote Link to comment
+Deliveryguy428 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Oh trust me, Deliverance is a fun half day white water trip and standing on an island with no signal walking in circles. Quote Link to comment
+shawhh Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 voodoodancer, the green swamp is a great place! i've canoed and camped through the swamp on the waccamaw river. welcome to caching. good to see another swamp lover out and about. -harry Quote Link to comment

Kay didn't make the trip yesterday, but commented last night that our DNF last February is one of her favorite caching experiences. Harry was a great host. He watched with amusement as we made a misstep to start the day. He was always positive and encouraging and made sloshing through a swamp fun. Once again ... thanks Harry!
