Well, I've been out-voted by a majority of one - my wife can go on the 27th, so that's the date - sorry LandRover. I'm a little groggy - I've had less then 8 hours of sleep since Friday - so details will have to wait until I'm really awake. But it takes about 3 hours to drive to the parking spot, it's two miles to the cave and about 1/2 mile thru it, so we'll work out the rest in the next few days. 'Till later ... Good Night!

No problem, I'm still going next week and will just use the coordinates from you're disabled caches to find Ole's Cave and go through it even if there is no cache to find. The mark of a good cache is a cache that brings you to a place that you would want to go to even if there was no cache there and this is exactly that. Believe it or not the reason I bought my first GPS was to map out some of the caves in the area, and when we spent that vacation all hunkered down in the trail because it poured that entire week my plans of finding any caves went down the drain with all the rain. Well now I had this GPS that I had no idea what to do with so I got on that Internet thingy and discovered Geocaching. Quote Link to comment

The lot by the East Valley 13 movie theater is more on route, and never fills. Exit off Hwy 167 at the first exit (41st/180th) and turn right, then enter parking lot on left.

Yeah, the caves stay a nice even 42 degrees - fairly cool. And the roof will probably be very drippy, with all this rain it'll be coming thru the cracks. Dress accordingly. As he said, gloves, knee pads (I have an extra pair) and helmets (I have extra of these too) are needed. Three sources of light that are independant (not needing the same set of batteries) is standard - headlamps are handy, but give you 'flat' light (no shadows to show the texture of the floor), handhelds are great in the crawls (you don't get a stiff neck trying to point the light where you need it), but use up a hand. A mix is good. Extra bulbs and batteries, of course. Quote Link to comment

A mix is good. Extra bulbs and batteries, of course. I'm pretty sure I can come up with the gloves and light sources, but don't have a helmet or knee pads. I've got a couple of bump caps, lightweight hard hats, you can use if you want to swing by and grab them. Quote Link to comment
+The Jester Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 OK, it looks like there are four of us (Me, Blooming Idiot, Prying Pandora, AndrewRJ). Shall we say 7am at the East Valley Theater parking lot (approx. 47 26.650 122 13.150). I'm bringing three caches and caving gear (an extra helmet for PP included). Quote Link to comment

Jester I was going to pick up PP at the PnR a little further down the road at 7AM. If it is ok with you can we meet there. The PnR is where this cache used to be http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...78-bb647fbc3c52 AJ Quote Link to comment

I picked up a pair of knee pads at Home Depot after work today, so I'm all set. See you at the PnR. Quote Link to comment
+Lookout Lisa Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 So.... how'd it go?? Quote Link to comment
+eagsc7 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I wanna know as well. Hopefully someone didn't place a micro in the woods within the .1 mile restricted zone just before you got there.. Quote Link to comment
+Prying Pandora Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) Mission accomplished! I'd never been caving before so it was an exciting and fascinating experience. No risk of new caches causing trouble - the cache listings were merely disabled, so continued to block any new caches from being placed within .10 mile.

+The Jester Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 Yep, a good trip. (Sorry to be late in posting to the thread, we just got back from a week-long trip to Reno.) The caches are back in place (well, almost ... new spots nearby). It was a lot of fun taking Prying Pandora on her first trip underground. You see things differently when you have someone along to whom everything is new. We also found a feature I'd heard about but never seen - George Washington's Face. It's a profile in rock (think US Quarter). I also replaced Burst Bubble - but it looks like it's gone again... Quote Link to comment
