+DragonsWest Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) We have a thread for great sunsets from the cache, but I don't recall seeing a photo of the trip or photo of the weekend thread. Seems a good thing to have, so might as well start one. I'll kick it off with a Green Shore Crab, found at GCNGBT Around Ten Birds Edited August 9, 2010 by DragonsWest Quote Link to comment
+roziecakes Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Ooh!! I love it!! What a cute cute wittle cwab! I didn't really get a lot of chance to go caching this weekend, but I have a cache trip planned for tomorrow to Eastern Oregon since I'm going out there to chat with a land manager about permission for an Earthcache, and I hope to take some nice pics on the way Nice thread idea!

+lachupa Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 CG1CQT1 Fireman's Falls in Newland, NC with the back of my dog's head...again I can never get that whole sit/stay business to work when I use the timer on the camera. In this case, mostly he wanted to go back to splashing in the water. Quote Link to comment
+DragonsWest Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 A trick I use with animals is to throw a pebble or stick to get the animal looking in the direction I want it to. Works most of the time, so just before the camera goes, flip a stick or pebble in the direction of the camera. Quote Link to comment
+lachupa Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 That's a great idea. We'll try that. His face is cuter than the back of his head. Quote Link to comment

+BuckeyeClan Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Last weekend we went to Muir Woods National Monument, and found a nearby cache. This was our first find in CA--gorgeous area! Quote Link to comment
+DragonsWest Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 I've been to Muir Woods quite a few times. The last time I was there I realised how tiny the park is, just over 559 acres (226 hectares.) I discovered a trail which led out of the park and hiked up to the top of Mt. Tamalpais (Mt. Tam) and back. Now I see there be caches on the periphery of the park, It's about time to visit it again. Quote Link to comment

I wish we could have hiked more, but our kids (ages 9 and 6) are not the most agreeable hikers. I was happy that they did the big loop with minimal complaining! I was glad we got there early, even though it was foggy and chilly--it got really busy by the time we left. Quote Link to comment

+TiggadyRue Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) Me. my son Jordan and dog Riley out for a hike.. bugs so bad we couldn't stand to stick around to seek the cache. Kettle Moraine in Wisconsin. Very hot and too many bugs made these two, not too happy! Edited August 10, 2010 by TiggadyRue Quote Link to comment
+lachupa Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 this was a great idea for a post The altoids one is whicked but funny. I had no idea anything in NYC had anything that looked like that. I used to live in Monterey and have been to Muir Woods several times. I knew the picture instantly when I saw it. I miss that place. Jordan and Riley are both really cute. Quote Link to comment

+WVangler Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) Hiked 28 miles in the Dolly Sods Wilderness Area in Tucker County, West Virginia for 4 geocaches...all in one day. The above pic is near the "Camp Cody" cache. The craziest thing happened at this cache. This cache was published in 2008. Since then there have only been 2 finds logged on it. We actually did this hike last Friday - on a weekday for crying out loud. At the trailhead we were the only car parked there when we went in and when we got to within a mile of this cache two other backpackers happened upon us from one of the other trails. You guessed it, they were geocachers and headed toward the same cache. Is that serendipity or what? Edited August 10, 2010 by WVangler Quote Link to comment

+Show Me the Cache Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Finally made it to New England to complete my "Lower 48" geocaching map. One of the highlights was a visit to Ben & Jerry's. Loved it. This is one of their cows in the pasture beside the factory. All I wanted in the picture was for the cow to look at me. I didn't notice "the rest of the story" until I had already clicked.

+DragonsWest Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Sunday evening I'm hiking one of the Baylands Trails, looking for the final to GC1CVBK Been Here: East Java and I see this little blur on the path at my feet. I look directly at it and see it's a tiny lizard trying to run to keep ahead of me. As I stop it dashes over to my right shoe and attaches itself. I lift my foot and it scampers to the bottom of my shoe! No! I hop around until I'm able to remove it from the bottom of my shoe, because I don't want to squish the little thing. Here are a couple pictures of it. It squinted a bit as the sun was near setting and in its eyes. After a couple quick pictures and one taken by another hiker, who was amazed it was so tiny, I set it down by the side of the trail. This is a Western Fence Lizard, the nano size.

Enjoy him being all little and cute. My baby is going to be 2 this month. I miss him being little.
