polskikrol Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Figured I would start a thread about running into fellow geocachers on the road. Spotting #1 (Geocacher Confirmed) Last week on a Friday morning saw a red prius heading south on 287 near Morristown with a travel bug. Saturday saw the same car near where I live heading for Polish kielbasa! It was weathernowcast. This was an easy one since ThirstyMick was driving and spotted him driving with a hunger drool expression. Ended up meeting up and caching in the area. Spotting #2 (Geocacher? Unknown) Today saw a grey SUV stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on Route 24 near Madison, NJ with two GEO stickers on the back and what appeared to be a DunkinDonuts sticker. There was no travel bug sticker visible from the back. Curious to know who this was! Anyone know? Quote Link to comment
+ThirstyMick Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I've been spotted on the road a couple of times, Brian07663NJ and wtes both "discovered" my car at stoplights. I thought that was really cool All the other logs are at events. But I'm wondering what an orange suzuki was doing following some geocacher around on route 24 in Madison, NJ; when it should have been parked outside of a brewery in fairfield?? Quote Link to comment

After the orange suzuki got off of route 24 I spotted it parked in front of a blond women's house in Madison. I think she was Scottish or English, not Irish that was for sure.--perhaps Polish now that I think of it! This is a very odd thread and can only do no good............. Quote Link to comment
+trowel32 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I think I know, but I don't want to encourage your new stalking habit This is why I don't have any stickers on my car. Of course all you have to do is look inside for the piles of old cache print outs anyway. Quote Link to comment
+Frodo_Underhill Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 My blue Mustang has been spotted on more backroads in The Wharton than I care to recall. The rangers stopped me once to make sure it wasn't stolen. They figure a 2WD like that out in the middle of nowhere might be hot. Quote Link to comment

There was no travel bug sticker visible from the back. Curious to know who this was! Anyone know? Guilty as charged. I really must swap over my GER-IRL license plates from my wife's car! However, It's not a SUV (implied: gas guzzler, planet hater etc etc), but a family friendly minivan (read: involved dad, room for the in laws etc etc). Actually, the DD magnet and one of the GEO magnets are compliments of EagleTrax - Thanks Karen! Quote Link to comment
+EagleTrax Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Up for a challenge? There are currently 4 other cars riding around that also have a DD magnet adhered to them. They may or may not have a GEO magnet also. (3 have both the DD and GEO, while the 4th may only have the DD magnet. I will get a GEO magnet to that owner asap since I believe I owe them one). If you can find those 4 other vehicles and identify them correctly by giving the license plate #, I will send the first person to do so their very own GEO and DD magnets as a prize. Owners of these vehicles and their families are not eligible. Quote Link to comment

Be warned the first time Polskikrol spotted me--he spotted me another 3 times in the next 24 hours in three separate counties. He takes good notes on the events that he observes and was able to describe what I was doing each time although I swear I was not picking my nose! Quote Link to comment

That "family friendly minivan" has doubled as a fine cache-mobile and holds up to 6 adult cachers very comfortably. Don't be fooled. And it has all the appropriate markings. Hmmm... Perhaps you should just swap cars with your wife, GerIRL. Quote Link to comment
+MuckSavage Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I was once spotted, followed, & approached by another cacher in Memphis. He first saw my Signal the frog antenna topper, then the Geocaching license plate frame. We chatted a bit & gave me some coords to some nearby caches. Alot of the folks involved with S.J. Geocaching should be an easy spot since there's now decals with the SJG logo & their Geo-Name. Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 We spotted a Travel Bug headed east on Rte 36 in Hazlet. "Hey, Bear. Get a little closer so I can read that TB number." Never did meet the owner. Saw another at a CITO event in Pa. Only two I've seen. I do need an XL TB tee-shirt! Quote Link to comment
Teioneon Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Up here in Syracuse, I have seen a couple of vehicles with different GC'ing stickers. True to form, I am always working and can't stop to chat with them. Quote Link to comment
+HaLiJuSaPa Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Been meaning to get the "travel bug magnet" for the car one of these days..... When we were driving to the GPS Maze Event in CT last June, a red Toyota Prius with NJ plates passed us with the curious plate name "51 MPG". That car was in the lot at the event. I wonder who it was? Quote Link to comment
+brian b Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 51 MPG? That would be the infamous Weathernowcast! Quote Link to comment

I now remember the model which was an Odyssey If you had those plates the ID would have definitely been easier! Quote Link to comment
+deadcowboy Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 hey GerIRL, you wouldnt happened to be in delaware between the 17th and the 4 round christmas were ya. cause i would swear i saw that license plate when i was home on break. Quote Link to comment

Ironically, our cachemobile is the failed and now defunct Saturn Relay, which they called a "sport utility van" (has features of both, but it's more minivan in all honesty). Getting a vehicle TB soon so we can be "discovered"...... Quote Link to comment
