+Mr. Vic Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 I was geocaching in a park in an extremely affluent neighborhood in Northern California and parked in front of a mansion with a life-sized plastic cow on the fromt lawn. I thought it was odd. -Mark Will cache for food Quote Link to comment
+Acc-Risk and Snarflax Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 I was walking back from one recently and spotted a white grocery plastic sack hanging on a branch... within 20 feet, I could smell it... It was a FULL, several gallons, of crap... Someone did some seious dumping... I'm all for cache in/trash out but there's no way in hell I'm dragging 30 pounds of feces down a trail...

The cache is named after the hawk that likes to sit on the top of the pole.

+seneca Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I don't know if this qualifies as wierd/funny/interseting/unusual but at least a little bit unsettling - at the end of the salmon spawning in this creek bed. (less than 15 feet from the cache) I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me. Quote Link to comment
+beatnik Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 The cache was actually an event cache based around taking photos. It was a scavenger hunt using existing loctionless caches from the website. The object for each team was to log as many of the goals as possible, getting extra credit for logging more than one goal in a photo. They said there would be extra points for best photo. So I proceeded to do something to a statue of a buffalo that I probably shouldn't have. beatnik Quote Link to comment

+kbraband Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 A cache hunter before me posted that he fell and left some of his DNA on the mossy rocks at a cache called Ledge Hammer. When I arrived I found his DNA had started to grow on the rocks and created a giant likeness of his head. Pretty weird. Quote Link to comment
+bitbrain Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Oh no! I've been compared to the Ivy Hot Stuntaz! Does that make me immortal, or has the clock my 15 minutes of fame ticked down to zero? I think Blodlizrd's pic's are the most humorous. Who took them, though? I though he was caching with a golden retriever on that one... - If the cat had kittens in the oven, we wouldn't call 'em biscuits. - Quote Link to comment

Me Melissa Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Have yet to come across anything as unusual as these pictures. Love some of what all of you have posted Don't know if this qualifies (and I posted this in the travel bug forum a while back) but my friends and I had an interesting time with a "Locutus of Borg" travel cache that's trying to hook up with an "Enterprise" travel cache. -You know how you're usually supposed to take just one or two pictures of a traveller? Well we had a little too much fun and got a bit carried away during Locutus' "visit". We took so many pictures we had to put to put them up on a whole separate website Check it out!

In the center you can just make out the headlight of a snowmobile screaming down the hill to most likely come and ask me what the hell I was doing with my car on the slope.

Goodman Your link took me nowhere but from your description and location, I would say osage orange is a correct guess. Other names I've heard the same tree called are bois-d'arc (bodock), horse apple and mock orange. It's scientific name is Maclura pomifera (Dang! I knew that Forestry Class I took in high school would be good for something one day!) The wood is good for hardwood floors and bows. Supposedly the large green thingies are good to eat, but I've never knowingly tried one. Visit the Mississippi Geocaching Forum at http://pub98.ezboard.com/bgeocachingms Quote Link to comment

Gotta keep a heads-up caching in the fall, these babies would clobber you from a 30ft drop! That is a Hedge Apple which grows on a Osage Orange. The trees were planted and aggressively grown and pruned to form fence lines in the 1800's before barbed wire replaced it's need. We have them all over Oklahoma. Named for the Osage Indian their wood is VERY strong and very resistive to insects. They make very good fence post wood. I hear they make great bows as well. Rumor has it that the apple will repel insects and many people use them for that purpose. beatnik Quote Link to comment

When I went for that cache, I took ChinaJack & cwlutterloh with me. These are the pictures I took at that cache.

Here's an excerpt from Salvo's adventure. You'll have to visit the cache page for the rest. quote:...I spot the cache and am about to pull the cache when I hear a snap. I come out of my cache find euphoria and look in the direction to see what.. a dog? No.. RAZORBACK!! He's about 40ft from me. My first thought is the yell ''GIT!'', and I threw my GPS at him (Looking back on that, WHAT was I thinking!), then I threw my Cellular at him, then I threw my green cache bag at him -all missing the pig. SNORT!!! He's already mad at me for being in his turf, and now he's madder. All I see are tusks, fur, and leaves flying as he charges.
