There is a member warning n00bs not to geocache

[+WRITE SHOP ROBERT]

Got one from suenpete, forwarded to gs

 

What do you have to do to get one of these? Haven't I found enough caches, placed enough hides, posted enough on the forum, posted on the feedback site? I can't just sit around waiting all day. I guess I am going to have to get ready to do some caching on my furlough day. LEOs and all.

Want me to forward a copy?? I think posting in this thread is like sending an invitation. Maybe I'll get one from some new account now.

When MooseJawSpruce was a kid we had to tie porkchops to his keyboard so the trolls would play with him.

And a side note. I'm a girl remember, armed and dangerous.

 

*edit: Yippy I got one. Now I'm one of the cool kids. Or at least maybe now the cool kids won't shove me in the trash can, just into my locker.

Don't print it. Just keep a copy in a file on your desktop. Remember, think green!

Or at least remember, ink ain't cheap.

I had a county policeman come up to me once at a cache wondering, "Should I hand cuff him?"

There fixed it for ya!

I'd like to see them get a wedgie just for wasting my time with the email.

Baconated spam.

 

Now that's just cruel to bacon. Really. I did see caffeinated jerky the other day though... if they could put caffeine in bacon (okay I'll stop.)

 

Just don't put bacon in my coffee!!!

Checked my email this morning and had the same email but from user suenpete, who is already banned.

 

And now I need to go check on an ammo can in the woods because a new cacher with 0 finds couldn't find it.

[vagabond]

So Mtn-Man how are you doing on this bright and shiny day?

Boy, 83 degrees right now and 80 percent humidity. Does that mean when I go outside I have to swim to the car? I am going to come out there to LA and hang with you for a while if that is OK.

 

Thats fine its like 88 here with a nice little breeze. No humidity that I know of today. Plus tonight will be a nice 69 to cool off to. Gotta love that nice California weather.

If your near the coast.

10:43 am 88 degrees and 40% humidity here in the Inland Empire and its supposed to hit at least 100% here today

Fellow Geocachers

On Friday, January 8th of this year, I went geocaching with my son. We had a great time and found lots of geocaches. It was about time to go home when my son asked me, “Let’s go get one more geocache, Dad.” I told him that we would. On the way there, I was pulled over by the policemen and placed in handcuffs because somebody thought that I had planted a pipe bomb at Academy Sports. I explained to them that I had been geocaching. They took me back to Academy Sports where I was interviewed by a police detective. I again explained about geocaching and after they had determined that it was not a bomb but rather a geocache, they took me back to my car. A few minutes later, they arrested me for Interference with the duties of a public servant. They took me to jail until my wife could come and bail me out.

We then set about finding a lawyer to defend me. We found one; a good one. This past week, he was able to meet with the district attorney and tell her what had happened. Once the police report was filed, she immediately dismissed the charges against me under the grounds that what I had done was not a crime and did not meet the elements of the offense. That happened today, Jan. 26th. I was then able to get my gpsr, cell phone, and bond money back.

The reason I write this email is to serve as both a caution and a request for aid. The caution is that this same thing could happen to you. It was not fun, and I am very grateful that it is over with. You do not want it to happen to you, trust me. My request for aid is such that we need to brainstorm and think up ways that we can help the police officers and general public know and understand more about geocaching so that this doesn’t happen again. It may be worthwhile to let businesses know about geocaches that we may have placed on their grounds if we have not done so, and when we go to search for them to let them know that we are doing such so we don’t look suspicious. I don’t know if that would work or not, but something needs to be done. I would also like to thank all those that prayed for me or thought of me during this trying time. Thank you!

We have really overzealous cops in Pittsburg. They will tow your vehicle for the least offense. I'm not worried about them though. I'll mess up anybody trying to strap irons on me without good reason. Just sayin!

That is most definitely the Waco, Texas sporting goods store parking lot story from a few months ago. So you all can buy it. Me, I was detained for 20 minutes by the Clark, NJ Police Department while Geocaching in 2004, so you can buy that one too. I think the point someone was trying to make earlier was that no one is going to be "detained" while Geocaching. Nope, it happens.

 

Chicken fried bacon sounds awesome. And seeing as Turkey bacon really isn't bad at all, you could make a healthier version.
