Remember the 2 second rule and add a little for Motor Cycles

 

10. What kind of "Rocks" was I gathering?

 

Petrified Wood

Ding! Ding! I stopped near one of my favorite Caches to pick up some more Petrified Wood. I like to pick up tiny peices that can fit in a film can in a baggie with a scrap of paper stamped "Petrified Wood". I made the stamp myself, and the paper scraps are the trimmings from making GameCards from my other games. The only cost to me is the Baggie, and a little time. They're often the first thing taken from a Cache after I visit, so I guess people like them. In larger Caches, I might leave several of those, or maybe some bigger ones. I hope to do the same thing with other interesting Mineral Samples later. Today I grabbed some bigger pieces(several pounds each) that are really cool.

 

Please send in an emeil for the Drawing folder.

When I was young, I went to California with my Dad and Uncle. We drove across country and even into Mexico to see a bullfight. (I hated the bull fight!!! and the stupid people cheering on the matador.)

Anyway, We drove through the Painted Desert and Went through The Petrified Forest and There was some caves with acient drawings . They called them Newspaper Rocks, I believe. At the end of the petrified forest was, of course a gift shop, in which I bought a very small piece of Petrified wood for 5.00 dollars.

When we left and got back on the main road , we found PETRIFIED WOOD stands where home owners, that had petrified wood on there properties would sell pieces. THis time, for 5.00 dollars, I got one the size of a football. I had that piece for years in my room. It came up missing a few years later. I don't know where it went? I know That I didn't move it. If you have never seen petrified wood, look it up. IT"S BEAUTIFUL. Full of color and depth that you can't imagine. I wish I had it still. If you find an extra piece Robert, please send it my way.

 

Don't be petrified to drive, just be smart!!!

OK, here's a NEW round of questions...

 

Remember how my games work...

 

Begin your post with your Safety advice.

Answer only ONE of the questions in each post.

Do not answer the SAME question in two consecutive posts.

A correct answer will win you a spot in a future drawing for a Special Look Twice Coin.

Any edited post does not count.

If you use filler posts to go between your answers, please include an interesting detail in each one(about one of the Todie's Wild Ride Coins)

 

These questions are mostly about my recent Cache hide...

I stopped near This Cache...GC19NN1...and hid a new one of my own nearby.

 

1. According to my GPS, what is the elevation of my new Cache?

2. According to my GPS, how far is the new Cache from where I parked the Truck?

3. How much time did I spend there while hiding the Cache?(1/4 hour increments)

4. While looking for the right spot, something caught my eye that I took as a sign to look for a hiding place near it, what caught my eye?

5. How many lizards did I see while I was there?

6. According to my GPS, what was the temperature when I was at the Cache site?

7. How many other Trucks were parked at the pullout while I was there?

 

Here are some other questions, not related to that Cache hide...

 

8. I'm on my way from Tolleson, AZ(on 4/30) to Corinne, UT(on 5/2)...Where am I tonight?

9. What is the name of the nearest Cache to the place where I was gathering "Rocks" today?

10. What kind of "Rocks" was I gathering?

11. Name one of the Three Geocachers who I will be giving some of those "Rocks" to.(three correct answers for this one)

 

 

Remember that a correct answer will win you a spot in our NEXT drawing for a Special Look Twice geocoin!!

 

BUMPADA!!!!!

Are you talking about placing a basket of flowers on someone's doorstep, ringing the doorbell and then hiding? If they know about how to celebrate it, they will chase you, and if you are caught, expect to get a kiss.

 

That's a good part of it, there's a small piece you're omitting though!! :rolleyes:

If you are seeking a kiss, you need to inform them by April 30th.

A popular activity on May Day is to decorate a pole with brightly colored ribbon or paper streamers. Some also add flowers and balloons. The pole is usually carried in a parade and then placed in the ground at a designated area. People then dance around the May pole, holding the ends of the streamers or ribbon in their hands.

 

Wear you helmet!

Whoops...am I omitting my safety phrase?

 

Wear your helmet with pride!

LadyB4T I've Been busy out collecting some rocks to share with you and Opalsns

Thank you!!! I think those would work nicely!! :(B)

 

I went out again this am to study it now that I'm not so mad. There will be some work and less flowers but it will ok. Though if it keeps up at this rate, in 2 years the rocks will be all gone.

I have a friend who's yard is completely filled with rocks that she has collected one by one, either by gathering them herself, or brought to her as gifts. I have some special rocks that I picked up today and you can have one or two for your yard!!

That would be awesome!!! Thanks!!

 

Watch for rocks on the road

 

11. Name one of the Three Geocachers who I will be giving some of those "Rocks" to.(three correct answers for this one)
