+Harry Dolphin Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 News: Plane crashes in Hudson River off 42nd Street. (And remarkable work by the pilot and New York Waterways!!) 3rd reaction: Hey! They were only a few hundred feet from one of my caches! This is really sad! (Of course, I'm the one who thinks George Clooney was looking for the cache when he had his motorcycle accident.) Quote Link to comment
+MREAGLEWO1 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 did u see the article about one person that turned his cell phone on so if he did end up crashing and not surviving, the would be able to track him using the the gps in the phone Quote Link to comment
+brian b Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 George Clooney BLEW UP a cache when he filmed Michael Clayton. The cache was Kudo Cache by the Trestle Bridge in Salisbury Mills . . . . well, the cache had already been archived, but the explosion was on top of the previous cache location. Quote Link to comment
polskikrol Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 did u see the article about one person that turned his cell phone on so if he did end up crashing and not surviving, the would be able to track him using the the gps in the phone Its funny he actually thought his phone was waterproof. Good idea on the GPS Tracking, bad idea on thinking it would survive the Hudson River. Quote Link to comment

Surviving the hudson? where is the missing engine from the plane? regarding the phone, wont the cell carrier be able to atleast see where it was last located before it shut off? Quote Link to comment

+Harry Dolphin Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Actually, except for the PCBs coming downstream, the Hudson is a lot cleaner than is has been in close to a century. I remember my father telling me that when he was a kid, growing up on Manhattan, he used to go swimming in the Hudson. Of course, that was almost a century ago... Quote Link to comment
continental drifter Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) I'm from Weehawken,I go kayaking in the Hudson. The rash you get really isn't that bad. Edited January 20, 2009 by continental drifter Quote Link to comment
+TwoCat Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Not quite as dramatic, but our future Neice-in-law sent us some pofessional engagement pictures that were taken in a park we have a few caches in. The first few pictures show them sitting on a bench in the park and I'm thinking "gee, to bad there is no cache on/near this bench." Then some of the subsequent pictures show them on a bridge with a tree behind them and I'm thinking "cool, there is a cache at that tree!". But not to worry, I was also thinking about the engaged couple! Quote Link to comment

Well, now I hope everybody realizes where the ducks in Central Park go when the lagoon freezes over. (Never ask a taxi driver) You know those ducks in the lagoon right near Central Park South? That little lake? By any chance, do you happen to know where they go, the ducks, when it gets all frozen over? Quote Link to comment
