+Snoogans Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 "Geocaching: Leaving useless time capsules behind for future civilizations to find." This has always made me laugh, because I think about people in the future accidentally digging up a Geocache and thinking they hit some treasure when it fact it is a container with odd random trinkets and paper with pointless names and dates. "Apparently the worshipped some diety or a great deal of them were named "TNLN TFTC"" ((Reading over log book)) "What's a Snoogans?" Nah! Not possible. Folks in the future will still remember me if my dastardly plans are realized. Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I looked all over for an ammo can in the woods, just to find a 2in ammo can in a tree. very frustrating, but fun I did that too. I was headed to the airport in Albuquerque, N.M., and it took up most of my caching time. I had a dozen caches planned and only got 2. It was worth it though. The coords were within 3 feet of the cache and it took me 40 minutes to find it. Quote Link to comment

I had one of those going for a while and the logs were pure pleasure to read, further eroding my chances of the pearly gates... Alas, one went walkies and another had parts which rusted (hinge, latch) and it kept falling apart. Finally had to give up and replace with something more durable and considerably less funny.

+DragonsWest Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Geocachers are the worst people to make mad, because they know the best hiding spots Though sometimes they'll use the worse ones, when better ones are nearby. "I think the rattlesnake gets the first to find." Quote Link to comment

But to each his own. Next time you talk with your boss, you might question what your boss does for fun and reply, in your best withering "oh, that's fun? I never would have guessed." Might offer to take your boss on an outing to locate a few decent caches you know about. Let the hook set and then reel him in. Quote Link to comment

+TeamPennyFinder Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 This was said by my 10 yr old grand daughter when we were going for a FTF. We had been dropped off just over half mile from the cache because she loves to walk and it was a nice day and there were other caches in the area. We were just over halfway there (she stops and smells the flowers/looks at bugs/etc.. along the way LOL!) when we were passed by a vehicle that stopped at the end of the road where just before the vehicle passed us I had told Aryanna where the cache should be (according to distance). When she saw the truck stop and a man get out and start looking around she became alarmed and blurted out, "Run grandpa run! Maybe we can find it before him!" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! Needless to say my running days are way behind me and all we could do was helplessly watch him find the cache and sign the log while we finished the walk. I did however have a nice conversation with a fellow geocacher. Quote Link to comment

+Manville Possum Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I looked all over for an ammo can in the woods, just to find a 2in ammo can in a tree. very frustrating, but fun I have a similar geocache listing. The cache container is a .177 caliber pellet gun ammo can. I recently made it PMO because of all the negative comments from basic member noobs and them leaving the container in the open.

+L0ne.R Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Geocaching is a religion. We look for guidance from an unseen force in the sky. We get on our knees to search for the truth, usually throwing in a prayer 'please be here'. We journal about our experiences. We gather to offer thanks to those who have sacrificed for us. There are books offering truth about it (at least for dummies). We try to convince others to join. And talking about it can really annoy our non believing friends. --Unkle Fester, forums.Groundspeak.com May 15 2008 Quote Link to comment
