+FatherPippy Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hi everyone: About a year ago I had a plan to place this mega-cache that would allow people in my area of NORTH CAROLINA (Jacksonville) to put together their own caches, thus increasing the number of interesting caches in my area. Unfortunately, that's about when I got sent to Iraq. And, now that I'm back, I am moving north - and I don't have room to carry this cache with me, and unfortunately, I don't have time to plant it. SO - does anyone want it? It's a metal waterproof footlocker (US Military) with several ammo cans inside, with swag and notebooks and pencils and more - and it's yours for the taking. For free. Let me know! Thanks! FatherPippy Quote Link to comment
+BigDaddyD Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 ...... and it's yours for the taking. For free. Let me know! Thanks! FatherPippy I'd love to have it FatherPippy, do you deliver?????????? West Tennessee isn't really that far from Jacksonville!!!!! Sounds like a great idea. BigDaddyD Quote Link to comment
+RebelJedi Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 If you want to send it to GA, I'll take it. Quote Link to comment
CoyoteRed Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 How soon do you need to get rid of it? I deliver up that way ever so often, but I'm in a big truck so it's not like I can go just anywhere. If you can't get anything else worked out, then this is an option. Quote Link to comment
+Buder Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 What's the size/weight so I can caluclate shipping charges? Quote Link to comment
+ww8ball Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hey FatherPippy! When did you get back? Quote Link to comment
+Hambone Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hey FP. Glad you got back from the sandbox across the pond. Looks like you "Used Your Noodle!!" I'm in mid GA now and would love to have it. I've had plans on placing a seed cache ever since I found out I was moving down here. Quote Link to comment
+kilted1s Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Has this been claimed yet? Quote Link to comment
+FatherPippy Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 If gas cost is less than shipping cost, hell I will just drive up there from atlanta GA... google earth gives me 9 hours of driving... I bet I could do it in 7 Sorry for the delayed response - I was doing something harder than Geocaching...finding a house to buy!!! The entire container probably weighs upwards of 50lbs... shipping is possible, but probably not practical. USPS would probably take it for around $40 parcel post. I'd like to avoid that hassle. Maybe I'll leave it on I-95 somewhere. Quote Link to comment
+Buder Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Unfortuantly 900 miles is to far for me to drive to pick it up. If you are willing to ship it, I'd pay the shipping fees. Good luck with your move and save drive north. Quote Link to comment
Clan Riffster Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 FatherPippy, first I gotta say "Thanx" for serving your country. As a veteran myself, (different era), I know what it means to be flown across an ocean, to a strange place, for a cause that others might not support. Your efforts, as well as the efforts of every U. S. soldier throughout history are why we can all be free to read these forums....in English. Kudos, Brother! About your seed cache; I wish I lived closer. I'm actually planning one of these for the Central Florida area. I couldn't afford a foot locker, so I bought an extra large ammo can and a bunch of decon kits. When I get them all filled and camo'ed Clan Riffster style, I'll hide it. Thinking of calling mine "Proliferation". I envy your ability to do the same thing with ammo cans. Have you posted to the North Carolina Geocachers Association? I Gare-Run-Tee some lucky cacher up there will be on this like ugly on a Scotsman. http://www.ncgeocachers.org/ Peace!

+Brett&Citty Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 If you want to drop it off on I 95 by South Carolina I would love to pick it up. Quote Link to comment
+Hambone Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) If you leave it on 95 near Rocky Mount I have a close friend who lives there (ww8ball) who would probably pick it up for me if I bought him a beer. I could then get it during my intermittent trips home [edited for an incomplete thought] Edited May 26, 2006 by Hambone Quote Link to comment
+Deliveryguy428 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Nice try Hammy, but ww8ball already has a cache like this one, big container stocked with ready to go caches... Quote Link to comment
+kilted1s Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Did this ever get taken? Quote Link to comment
+Skillet68 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Did this ever get taken? If it hasn't, I've got family just outside Jacksonville. Could have it picked up this week. Just let me know. skillet@sc.rr.com On a side note, J-ville is my ole' stomping grounds. That and Greenville. Quote Link to comment
