+infosponge Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 I was doing a cache at a kind of junky looking city park in Jacksonville, Florida yesterday. I start poking around in the bushes, and this (drunk?) guy walks into the bushes a few feet away from me, facing me, and starts urinating right there. I left...no cache is worth poking around in a public restroom...yuk... Other people had found the cache before me, and complained about the smell from the nearby port-a-pottie (which nobody uses, I guess). Now I know why... Quote Link to comment

+Wild Rover Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 The information is not relevant to a forum - it should be posted to the cache to warn cachers who may be hunting in the area. Quote Link to comment
+infosponge Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 Get out of the grumpies, man...this forum is for sharing unusual experiences during caching. I did make a note on the cache page, but I thought this funny/strange/unusual enough to warrant a post. Quote Link to comment

+KYtrex Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Maybe he was trying to show you where the cache was. Or maybe he was trying to show you how talented he was by writing his name KYtrex ----------------- A "Buckeye" is just a "Hillbilly" that ran out of money on the way to Michigan Quote Link to comment

+infosponge Posted October 29, 2002 Author Share Posted October 29, 2002 I should have asked him if he had a big bag o' doots to dispose of too! :-) Isn't there a locationless cache for those? Quote Link to comment

the federation Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 i did that cache also but not the same bad experience though the smell would take your breath away. Quote Link to comment
Maine Mountainman Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Did you happen to mention your cacher name was INFO-sponge? Drunks are so easily confused! Quote Link to comment
+Alan2 Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 “Hey, Jim, what’s that sign say that you posted by the park entrance?” “Well Rick, the sign says,: ‘No Pissing in the Woods’ .” “What? Are you nuts? What ever was going through your head when you did that?” “Well, Rick, I was thinking of all those animals like deer, bear, possum, alligators, and ticks all doing their thing. And I figure, enough is enough. We got to stop somewhere. After all, don’t people realize that pee just kills the plants and roots and things. If some human’s gotta go, well let ‘em go before they get here at McDonalds or Dunkin’ Donuts.” “I don’t know about that. Besides my wife and other women, I don’t know of any man who can hike 8 miles over hill and dale and not succumb to the call of nature. Unless men change their plumbing systems, this ain’t gonna work.” “That’s it! We’ll make a prohibition allowing only women the right to hike more than two miles.” “And what will their men friends do while the women are hiking the longer trails?” “Wait at McDonalds?” Quote Link to comment
+GatoRx Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Yep, the smell from the nearby port-a-potty is pretty bad at that park (and the cache is about 4 feet from it, so you get a really good wiff...) The park is mainly used by fishermen, as its right on a major river. I can understand the need to go when you've been standing around all day, but I guess he was lacking in common decency. Hope you enjoyed the other parks around town though. ---- When in doubt, poke it with a stick. Quote Link to comment

+infosponge Posted December 4, 2002 Author Share Posted December 4, 2002 The park has a nice view, but I can't imagine the need to place a cache there so great that they had to use the only patch of vegetation...right next to the port-a-pottie. The smell was terrible. I would have just said "oh well, I guess I won't put a cache in this park..." Quote Link to comment

It could have been worse - on the other side of the vegetation patch (a little further from the port-a-potty) there was a used condom on the ground. Imagine how bad the hunt would have been if you'd put your hand on that, and then had the guy almost urinate on you. ---- When in doubt, poke it with a stick. Quote Link to comment

+Chichikov Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 I found a cache a couple of months ago that had a big pile o' doot right next to it. This was a rather out of the way place, so I assume whoever left this deposit was a cacher. Once I saw the condition and contents of the cache I could almost understand if this was his/her reaction to the find. At least it wasn't left in the box. --------------- Where am I going?
