The Contest Logging Thread


Recommended Posts

Only 3 recovered today. I spent most of my half day on the RR tracks. Found several poles that I believe are/were telegraph poles? Most were destroyed, a few standing. Of all the poles, only one pole had glass insulators on it in good condition. I was lucky there was a climable tree right next to it...

The following two are intersection stations, the remains of which were found in destroyed condition. I believe the evidence and the remains will prove that I found a portion of the correct stations, which have now been removed. PM if desired, but it's up to the judge's discretion.

A frustrating day, with highway improvements making for a lot of non-recoveries. The scenery up near Lake Roosevelt at the end of the day made up for all the difficulties.

* I must beg the judges indulgence for this one. I quite understand if it is unacceptable.

Found this BM right at the edge of a Forest Service Rd. This road, with a creek right

next to it, was one area where firefighters were able to stop the spread of the Hayman

fire. This fire ended up being the largest wildfire in Colorado history. It started on 6/8/2002

and burned 137,760 acres.

Had a pretty successful day hunting on Saturday 05/12

The rest of these are judges discretion. I am 100% confident of the finds, but dang it all, I could not get these disks cleaned off. Many were 1-2 feet deep in their tubes, and most were covered with a 3 inch layer of mud I had to scoop out. Photographs were tough into the pipes, mud was tough to get off. I tried water, but it filled the pipe up. I tried powder, but it combined with the dust. Also tough when they paint the marks because then its tough to get any definition with the numbers. And no thanks to Monroe County for not stamping the designation in the covers either. :)

Saturday was a good day out on the Apache Trail, but Sunday was not so good as the radiator in the JEEP blew out and we had to abort the mission to Prescott. :rolleyes:

*This one is at the judges discretion. I found the mark coated with some rubbery substance, and tried to clean it off to get a good shot of the stamping, but the results were not as good as I hoped for.

In retrospect I wish I had just left well enough alone.

 

**This one probably won't fly either, as all that remains is the stem. Can't hurt to ask though!

Had some free time yesterday, and headed up South Mountain to test the new radiator in the JEEP.

I doubt the next one will qualify, but considering there is a disk there with a date on it (but no designation stamping), perhaps I can squeeze it through the wringer. In any case, it's interesting that I easily found what the DOD couldn't.

My brother, FunnyNose, is a numbers ho'.! His vacation is over and he's headed back to Seattle. He logged 159 caches in eight days in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. He graciously allowed me to log five benchmarks during his trip. :P So, I needed a fix badly! Geocachers can get their fix with cheap parking lot micros. Here are my cheap, drive-by benchmarks for 5/19:
