+pppingme Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 So will this be a typical weekend for geocaching, or is anyone afraid of getting the cops called on them by paranoid watchers? Quote Link to comment
+lamoracke Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 was not even considering it a factor. Quote Link to comment
+AmphibianTrackers Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 So far, it has been a great day for us. It was finally cool enough to cache in the prairie. Quote Link to comment

+wildchld97 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 So will this be a typical weekend for geocaching, or is anyone afraid of getting the cops called on them by paranoid watchers? Actually, I didn't even think about that when I was out today. I spent about an hour hunting around an eletrical unit at a mall before I finally found the sneaky bugger. Geez..what was I thinking??? I wasn't even paying attention to the date. I just looked outside, saw that it was beautiful and went on my merry caching way. LOL. I'm going to be a little more careful with urban hides tomorrow.

+BaylorGrad Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 In DC or NYC, it might be. Elsewhere, I wouldn't think it would a problem. I agree with this statement. There's heightened security in those areas due to recent threats related to 9/11/11 so you wouldn't find me urban caching in DC or NYC this weekend. Anywhere else, go about business as usual.

+Harry Dolphin Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Definitely staying away from The City. But today is 09/10/11! Great number. Found three caches today. Quote Link to comment
+BrixingtonPaddler Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Torquay is going to be invaded by a very suspicious family of 2 adults 2 chidren looking for (probably) small cylindrical objects whilst parking in awkward spots Dont get much activity down this way in the UK, unless the price of cider goes up Quote Link to comment

+luvvinbird Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I don't think it's in bad taste to geocache on this historic day. None of us have forgotten the tragic events of 10 years ago. Whatever any of us do on this day is okay. Just don't forget. Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) on 9/10/11 I found 12 caches. Edited September 11, 2011 by webscouter. Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I found some caches today, and I'm planning to find some tomorrow. If a ghostly airliner that leaves no crash debris plunges into my house in the morning, all bets are off. Quote Link to comment

Our LAPD police chief has been holding news conferences and telling people to report strange activities, all week, so yes, I have been thinking about it. I've been hoping that none of my geofriends end up on the evening news. Quote Link to comment
+Sven. Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 November is so far off, not really thought about it. What's so special about the 9th anyway? Quote Link to comment
+A & J Tooling Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Going to my first event to honor those who lost their lives on this day ten years ago. Hope it don't rain. My 1st event. 2 hour drive. Quote Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Started my second decade of caching with an awesome event, and a small cache. Not sure if I will look for one today, because I want to start the cache page for an event in two months and get that submitted. Quote Link to comment

You backwards world, you all need to get with the USA on date formats. And the letter "Z" is pronounced "zee", not "zed" Since I do quite a bit of work with an international audience I can switch back and forth between the day first/month first date formats depending on who I'm corresponding with. I was recently looking at some travel web sites, trying to find some interesting and affordable fares to Europe for a business trip to Rome in a few weeks. I came across one site that is charging a $10 security fee for air travel on 9/11. So, let me get this straight. I have to pay extra if I want to be subjected to more security checks? I'm not planning on doing any geocaching today. 9/11 will always have special significance to me because on the 11th of September in 1999 I got married. Quote Link to comment

+Manville Possum Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 So far it has been great, no DNF's on our first few. Also a good day for listing a new hide. Quote Link to comment
+dfx Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Very good caching weekend for us. Been paddling both days, and got (at least?) seven T5 caches. Had a great time. Quote Link to comment
+ArtieD Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Yesterday was a great caching day for me. I attended a great event and found 36 caches as well. Quote Link to comment
+summer&weston Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) I thought about it, but I figure in my area, there won't be much paranoia about the date. I went out on the 10th and had a blast. No DNFs out of 10 finds for me, plus a couple that some friends hadn't picked up yet. On the 11th, I only picked up two, but they were great hides. I had to do something to get my mind off of the Chiefs' game. Edited September 12, 2011 by summer&weston Quote Link to comment
+CanadianRockies Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 And the letter "Z" is pronounced "zee", not "zed" I grew up in the U.S. and moved to Canada over 20 years ago. I quickly got the hang of using kilometres instead of miles. Thinking in terms of Celsius rather than Fahrenheit took a year or so. But it has only been the in last few months that I finally started unconsciously saying "zed" instead of "zee." I still say "sked-jual" instead of "shed-ule." There are limits, after all.

Zulu is the standard for all US Military radio communications. So the letter 'Z' can also be pronounced "zoo"? How about jewellery stores up here in Canada, while our southern neigbours/neighbors have jewelry stores. Quote Link to comment
+Postholedigger Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 10 finds on the 10th and 5 finds on the 11th. No sweat. No suspicious muggles or Law Enforcement. Quote Link to comment
+Team Dennis Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Not a bad day on Sunday for me. Bagged a few finds including rescuing a cache that was floating in a swamp and an FTF that came out late in the afternoon. My caching partner had a rough go of it though. We were walking through the woods and she was focused on her GPSr and tripped over a stump and fell flat on her face. She got a huge bruise on her arm and a nice shiner under one of her eyes.

Just to make things even more confusing, there are French accents up here as well as British pronunciations. Before moving north, I went on a long holiday (i.e., vacation) through eastern Canada, including New Brunswick. While visiting this officially bi-lingual province (i.e., state), I took a guided tour of their Legislative Building (i.e., Capitol). Partway through the tour, we came to what the guide announced was "the left-handed Governor's office." I thought that was a rather odd detail to mention. I wondered what colour (i.e., color) his eyes were but didn't bother to ask. She then explained how the left-handed Governor had to give his assent before a bill became law, the left-handed Governor was responsible for calling the Legislature into session, and the left-handed Governor was the Queen's official representative in the province. What's with this handedness obsession!? Eventually, I figured out that the left-handed Governor was the Lieutenant Governor (no U.S. equivalent -- certainly not Lieutenant Governor). Oh, and Governors up here are called Premiers. Also, we didn't go geocaching yesterday, but we did canoe down a river on Saturday and found 10 caches along the way. Good day.
