+hydnsek Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Team Shydog (Chris) is visiting from Indiana on vacation in early July, and his itinerary includes some of the caching "greatest hits" of our area - APE cache, GS headquarters, Ebey Bluffs, Champoeg, etc. On Monday, July 9, he wants to cache Whidbey Island, starting at Deception Pass and working his way down the island, including Ebey Bluffs, and coming back on the ferry. I've offered to join him, and it would be even more fun if some other local cachers could join us, so Shydog gets to meet a bunch of us (plus, he needs someone to hula with at Perego's Lagoon ). If you're interested in coming along, say 'aye' and we'll work out the logistics. I don't know if Shydog wants company on his other adventures, if so, I'm sure he'll chime in here.

+Shop99er Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I would like to be there, but I gotta work. Da Navy Yard has no sense of humor that way Quote Link to comment

I have to work too, but would be happy to donate the use of my hula skirt and some plastic leis. They are veterans of that cache. Quote Link to comment

Da Navy Yard has no sense of humor that way I would be more than happy to write you a note to get out of work if that will help. I am NOT a doctor, but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express I also appreciate the offer for the use of the Hula shirt. Whatever it takes to get those bonus points!!

Well you know where we're at, at least I think you do. (doesn't everyone?) We're home most evenings after 5 ish. We might be able to meet some where midway if you weren't going to be down this direction. Quote Link to comment
+hydnsek Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 No takers for our Whidbey caching trip next Monday, July 9? I was hoping Team Shydog would get to meet a few local cachers on his visit! Quote Link to comment
+Team Shydog Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I do believe we have a couple of seats open in the car. A fun filled day of caching, jokes, good food, balloon animals and cute kittens await. OK, maybe not cute kittens and I am only guessing that Hydnsek can make balloon animals, but the rest is a sure thing. Quote Link to comment
+Prying Pandora Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I'd love to go, but I have to work too. Too bad, because I can make balloon animals and hydnsek has cute kitties. Quote Link to comment
+GrievousAngel Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Sounds fun, I don't have to work , and I've never done any caching on Whidbey. That's something I want to do this summer, so this would be a great start. No hula, though! Let me know if there's room for one more in your cache group. --GrievousAngel Quote Link to comment

I will send you an e-mail with some details. On another note, WOW!! This place is beautiful. I just got in and hit a few caches. I got to meet a couple of local cachers and do some coin trading. Every time I would come up and crest a hill and Mt. Rainier would be there, Incredible my heart would jump!! And thanks for the perfect weather. Chris-Team Shydog Quote Link to comment
+Pyewacket Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 The San Juans, Whidbey, Deception Pass, that whole area...well, it just whispers to the spirit in tones that won't go unheard. Quote Link to comment
+superhoser Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Darn if only I did not have to work. Quote Link to comment
+hydnsek Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Sorry everyone else has to work, as it promises to be another glorious sunny day on Monday! I'll be playing tour guide for Team Shydog, our visiting cacher, and GrievousAngel, a local cacher who's never been to Whidbey. Fabulous views, a bit of hula-ing at Perego's Lagoon, lunch at the Mad Crab - woo hoo! Quote Link to comment
Team Misguided Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I love the Mad Crab!! We eat there every trip to Whidbey!!! Quote Link to comment
+Barnabirdy(s) Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 We only stumbled across this thread on the 9th. We could have been tempted, alas, it's the old snooze lose thing. We do hope to escape the Winthrop hot spell by hitting Bellingham later this week. Barnabirdy(s) Quote Link to comment

+hydnsek Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) I love the Mad Crab!! We eat there every trip to Whidbey!!! mmmmmmmm... crab cakes. *burp* Yes, it was quite tasty. We had a beeyootiful day on Whidbey, as Team Shydog (Chris) continued his "Wow" tour of the Pacific Northwest. All the mountains were out - Baker, Rainier, Cascades, Olympics - on a warm, sunny day, and Shydog just couldn't stop taking pictures. (He thanked us for naming Mt Baker after him.... ) We spent a few hours at Deception Pass, then headed down to the Mad Crab for lunch, followed by the always-excellent caching loop to Ebey Bluff and Perego's Lagoon (and yes, there was hula-ing). We finished with a ferry ride, another first for Chris. GrievousAngel was also with us; she lives in Everett but this was her first trip to Whidbey, as well.

+Team Shydog Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU..... I had one of the best caching days in my geocaching life yesterday. The weather, company and caches were all first class. What a jewel you all have here. The hike to Ebey Bluffs was much more then I thought it would be, in a better way that is. I thought it was just a quick up, boy was I wrong. As Hydnsek said, my WOW tour continues but I am not sure I can or want to top the Whidbey Island trip. It was wonderful to meet such great people.

Team Misguided Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Just remember that when you go home and tell all your friends about your trip, it was miserable and raining the whole time. Those are the rules. If everyone knew it was like this out here it would be standing room only. Quote Link to comment
