Geocaching Jedi

[+Renegade Knight]

I would have to say I'm among the group who has had the force guide me to the cache. It's a thing of beauty when it happens. I just wish the force was with me more often.

I would have to say I'm among the group who are like Mr. Bean who is more likely to find a cache by tripping over it (why I rarely find micros), taking a break and sitting on it (why I hate micros when I do find them), or by taking a nature break and peeing on it (why I hate cache containers that are not waterproof).

I think I'd like caching with you. We would give up on the cache and get distracted by fishing. Then find the cache using the keystone method. (Toss the empty beer can over your shoulder and where it lands is where the cache is...).

Oh great, yet another new "religion" thread. It's just a matter of time before the geocaching Sith Lords jump all over the geocaching Jedi. Or Han Solo comes on and once again rants that "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side."

I trust my dog.

Or someone tries to explain it all away with midichlorian pseudoscience.

Maybe...

I trust my dog.

Mine doesn't seem to get into the finding part of the caching thing. Just the run around all over the place part. My dog does not have the force with her.

[+BlueDeuce]

I search for a while, give up and just as I'm walking away, spot the cache. I think the force is teasing me.

Aw, I thought that said "Hockey religions" and I got really excited for a second.

The only mystical forces that seem to be in effect when we are searching is the one where after a frustrating hour, you say "Okay, I give up" loudly enough for the cache to hear you and then it magically turns off its cloak of invisibility (if it is feeling magnanimous).

 

(You can try to trick the cache by saying it after just 5 minutes, but that tactic rarely works. The cache knows you're bluffing.)

you're kidding, right?

I can relate to that. Except that it's after three trips out and an email to the owner. Then the cache magically appears where we LOOKED already, dagnabit!

 

But some days the Force works.

Yep, I know all about it.

 

When the Psychic Cacher is on her game she is amazing.

Check out the handle. . I only allow the "talented" to join the team, so we can magically bring most any cache within reach. Darn, my last logs disprove that theory.

Yesterday, because a maintenance hike was canceled due to an excessive number of guns in the area, I decided to check out a new, 300-acre nature park I'd never visited. I knew that there were caches in the park, but I didn't have any of the information with me. Not ten minutes into my hike, I noticed an interesting tree about 100 feet off the trail. "That looks like a place someone would hide a cache," thought I. I walked over to it, and there, right at the base, I saw the familiar bluish camo tape under a piece of bark. 300 wooded acres, no coordinates, and I walked right to it.

[+PJPeters]

I use a Garmin Etrex. Whenever I'm in pretty heavy treecover, I have to have the Force. I got to use it repeatedly the last couple days. I probably found a dozen yesterday and today that I'd still be looking for if I were relying on my GPS arrow exclusively.

But that's what makes it fun, right?

"The Force" seems to help me whenever I eat Wheaties that morning...

you're kidding, right?

 

Unfortunately they are as serious as a heart attack.

I too believe in the force. I also believe in the Schwartz.

I'll take all the help I can get.

And if I need to take a leak during the final search, I'll always move 150'+ away from GZ. I'd hate to open a soggy container, or leave it marked for the next finder.
