+boats2 Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Its been pretty quiet here for a few weeks... Now these three Earthcaches are:...... In an area where boxes are not allowed. Two of the three have a direct connection or Special Relationship with Fingals Cave. The process that formed two of the caches are reflected in the third cache. Are not in Europe. Are not far from a Big ski area Close to some Lakes And when the day comes, I hope I'm not there. Although Charton Heston, Genevieve Bujold and Ava Gardner were. Bump - though I have no idea where it is. Quote

Anyone of these caches will do to get the Ding. Right... here we go, then... The three caches are:- GC1FE0J, GC1FE07 & GC1D6GB They're located at the 'The Devil's Postpile', not a million miles from San Francisco, a volcanic lava formation very similar to the hexagonal column formation at Fingal's cave and the Giant's Causeway. They were revealed and polished as a glacier flowed over them some 80,000 years later. Charleton Heston, Ava Gardener & Genevieve Bujold starred in the 1974 film "Earthquake" set in San Francisco.

+Teuchters Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 DING. Well done John. The only thing you missed was that they are all near Mammoth Lakes which is a ski area. Quote
+Pharisee Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 DING. Well done John. The only thing you missed was that they are all near Mammoth Lakes which is a ski area. Ahh.... well not being a 'prehistoric mountain man', how was I supposed to know that? OK... name this 'first' cache and the 'puddle' that surrounds it. Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Ahh.... well not being a 'prehistoric mountain man', how was I supposed to know that? And yet you got the film question right!!! Quote
+Pharisee Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Time for a clue... ? It's a very old and very deep lake. Quote
+Teuchters Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) Looks like its just you and me playing this game John... First in Lake Baikal http://coord.info/GCGEKX Edited July 17, 2010 by HighlandNick Quote
+The Duckers Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Looks like its just you and me playing this game John... No, just that the rest of us did not have a blinking clue, well, me anyway Quote
+Pharisee Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Looks like its just you and me playing this game John... First in Lake Baikal http://coord.info/GCGEKX Ding!! Quote
+Pharisee Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Try this image. Either cache will do! I think you're right about us being the only two players... Have you forgotten that I'm an 'honorary Scot'? That was too easy, the caches are GCWVT0 Sandend Stash Mk II and GC122XM Findlater Castle. Quote
+Teuchters Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 DING! Just back from there - in a caravan just behind the dunes - great but very wet on the last morning..... Quote
+Pharisee Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) OK.... we'll keep it easy, in the UK and a bit closer to home. Name the cache, please (and if you can for a bonus point, the name of the long, rectangular building without a roof in the bottom right corner) Edited July 23, 2010 by Pharisee Quote
+Teuchters Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Goobers Cache http://coord.info/GC1GED8 And Someries Castle is the building. Is that what you mean by "closer to home" John??? Quote
+Pharisee Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 That would be another DING and back to you, Nick. And yes, it's only 2 or 3 miles from where I grew up. I used to play up there when I were nowt but a sprog. Kids aren't allowed to wander that far from home any more Quote
+Teuchters Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Keeping the runway theme......Either one of these two caches please. Quote
+currykev Posted July 24, 2010 Author Posted July 24, 2010 It's my party and I'll not comment if I want to! [] Quote

Unfortunately I am not around to be able to set a new question, so, If I am right I will return the honour to someone else to set a new question. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 I'm Dinging Cornell for my piece of blatant self promotion Could someone else jump in with something to keep a popular thread going? Quote
