How about not trying to enforce YOUR AESTHETIC on ME!

[+Snoogans]

Irony. I complaint thread about complaint threads.

 

I was gonna write something like:

 

It's funny ya know.... How some folks get enamored with a new activity and right away see clearly how much better things would run if they would just tailor the entire happy crappy circus to their own idea of....... Ahhhhh, but it has all been done before.

 

Hey,

 

Anyone want to talk about their most recent cachin' adventure that DOESN'T have some element of angst attached to it? Or their plans for an upcoming cachin' adventure?

 

I just recently got my cache profile up to date and just as soon as there's some slack in my 16 hour a day work/remodeling schedule, I plan to knock out the final 30 caches that will put me at the 500 cache milestone. I'm gonna go outta my way to get a few urban micros, skirt lifters, and virtuals to get there too.

 

Freedom to choose is a great thing! Ain't it? Too bad I don't have the choice to do a locationless cache in my final run to 500.

Good grief!!! If we banned complaint threads the forums would suck!!

 

I think we should have a forum section just for complaint threads, then I would not have to waste time sorting through anoying questions.

Yeah, I will. Just got back from a business trip to El Paso in which I squeezed in a 100 cache run. I must say that most of those in the rural areas were well done. I really enjoyed those placed along RT 170 and 118. Was also a great way to knock off a few more Texas counties from my to-do-list.

I have a watch on The Texas County Challenge. Good luck on being FTF.

 

That cache is the reason for the "All Texas Counties" goal in my One Degree of Separation Project.

Aesthetic: (NOUN) a philosophical theory or idea of what is valid at a given time and place. I.E. the clean lines, bare surfaces, and sense of space that bespeak the machine-age aesthetic.

I don't want to re-tailor the entire thing, just the parts I care about. Is that too much to ask!!!!

Jomorac5 (Dan) is selling his "gocaching" domain, or I bet AngryKid would sell Terracaching to you for between 50 & 100K. Now, I'm bettin' Jeremy wouldn't sell ya this site for anything less than the high side of 7 figures and possibly into 8 figs. I know I wouldn't.

I am writing this post to complain about your post which was complaining about complaint posts, which were complaining about certain types of caches.

You could probably trade the dessert from your lunch to be the new owner of Navicache.

I want to complain about a thread on banning complaint threads! Isn't that like a self-archiving cache?

Completed the Tour de Cache - NJ Counties. First archival of a cache. Felt like my pet fish died. Set put a new cache in Hudson County, NJ. Hee hee hee. Just plain having a lot of fun.

Sure. Tomorrow Team Mule Ears is planning to play hooky from work, rent a little putt-putt boat, and spend the day cruising for a few lakeside caches. Mucking around in a little boat (in the middle of the desert!) and geocaching. Can't beat it for a pleasurable waste of time

If I was smart I could re-sell the listings to gc.com and make a profit. You know, like a steak dinner. But heck, I'd settle for some McDonald coupons. At least I'd get some cool trade items.

 

(Just don’t let Idaho_Clovisman know I have'em.)

Wow, nice trail! I didn't have much of a story to add about detassling though. Because I never did that job when I was a kid. I guess I lucked out! Anyway, I was drawn here for SM IC's coin they dropped! I liked the icon! Left some random goodies along with the already random goodies. Cache is very well stocked! TFTC!!

Perhaps we need a rants forum

 

I do want to use this thread to share my latest caching adventure:

I didn't want to spend the $10 to park in the state beach parking lot so I parked down by the off-leash dog beach where I could park for 1 hour for just 6 quarters in the meter. When I turned on my GPS I saw the cache was 1.5 miles away. So off I went jogging and walking down the bike path. Nice walk along the beach. Got to the state beach parking lot and the coords took me right to - you guessed it - a lamppost. Found the cache, signed the log. Then walked/ran 1.5 miles to get back to my car before the meter expired. Pretty cool hike along the beach at sunset to find a pill bottle in a lamppost

I don't know, I think the forums could get boring if all complaints and realted arguing stopped.

 

Sometimes I wish we could award 'such and such is being a dork' points, and if the person gets 10 in a week they get booted from the fora for 48hours or something... you know make the cirus more interesting to see who gets tossed today

I think you should award me a**bag points, I'll take'em.

I think I'll start a complaint thread about complaint thread complainers complaining about complainer's complaint threads.

 

Clear?

[+Blue Bomb]

A non-angst post about a planned caching trip? Sure.

 

Sunday I'm planning to drive 45 minutes to an hour to a state park to fill in a one county island on my "counties of Ohio" map. Hopefully I'll be able to park the car in one spot and hike all caches in the park.

 

I do plan on taking my dog with me. He will be really excited about going somewhere in the car, and going for a hike. After the first 4 miles hiking his tail will stop wagging; after we get home he will cower in his house every time he sees me carry his leash for two weeks afterwards.

 

Wish me luck. I'm guessing before the day is over I'll be carrying the dog (80 lb black lab)...

I'll give it a shot. Sounds like a great location. My in-laws, in their 60s, will be with us and the difficulty rating on that cache is about right, with the reward of a good view.

 

In fact, my mother-in-law is very enthused about geocaching and has gone on several hunts with me. She recently notified me that I was required to bring my GPSr, and that we would be looking for caches during our trip. You can perhaps understand why I like her a lot - she's way cool. She also had suggested I find a local travel bug to take there. I think bringing one from Bermuda back to the Chicago area would work just as well.

 

The trick will be in talking her into posing for a photo with the TB

Does she like race car drivers? If so, it may not be so hard to convince her:

Yep! That has been one of my happy places since looooong before geocaching. I'll be placing more caches up there sooner or later. Ya missed out on my as yet, unfound terracache up there.

 

 

pssst: It's about 15 yards behind this guy and verrrry near where my archived Bonus cache used to be.

It was and I will have a smiley for it cuz I got the down range cache before the shooting started. I will have the smiley if I remember to log it...and remember the name of it...I'm pretty sure I did sign the log...carp what were we talking about again?
