+Ambrosia Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I don't think we've had a geocaching vehicle picture thread for a while. Show us pics of geocaching vehicles of any kind - yours or other geocachers! Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Right now, we've got a Dodge. When we decide on what kind of vehicle we want, we go for whatever's cheapest and in best shape. We've been able to get some really great deals, but that also means that we've owned two vehicles in perhaps our least desired color: red. At least this most recent one isn't red inside, like the last one (a van, which we called the red blood cell). When we realized that we owned a big red truck, we had to name it "Clifford".

Hi uxorious, did you load them up with the new attachment system? Normally you use the "insert image" button and paste the link to the picture. How big are the original files? Have you loaded up pictures before? Did it work in the past? lumbricus Quote Link to comment

Have you loaded up pictures before? Did it work in the past? lumbricus When they came out so small, I did go back and try the new attachment system. That didn't make a difference. I loaded the pictures into an archived cache of mine. I then used the "insert image" button to paste them here. In my picture files the size shows as 2272 X 1704, but on the cache page it shows as 100 X 75. I note that the program says it will resize the picture, but it seems it makes it too small. A few years ago I was trying to post into another thread and had the same problem. If I remember right the solution was easy, but I don't remember now what I was doing wrong then. It does seem to me I have loaded pictures into the forum since then without a problem, but not sure. Quote Link to comment

+uxorious Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I figured out what my problem was. I was copying the link from the thumbnail picture. After I clicked on the thumbnail and copied the info from the bigger picture it worked. I knew it was something simple, just hope I remember next time. Quote Link to comment

7rxc Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I had to recycle this one of my vehicle... if first was posted in How I Spent My Weekend thread.. but was part of that story... This is about a photo of my vehicle (or whatever it ends up being). Taken last fall when the days were about the same as now... snow in the mornings and melted mid day. That was some nice late afternoon. Stayed out until dark after a trip to the next town for business and shopping. I think this one could almost qualify for late day, geocaches and snow (melted), and vehicle, maybe more of these threads, but here it will land. This is a parking spot for This Place is the Pitts! and a very nice view... that said despite posting a DNF on the cache... but time was short that day. My 89 'Jimmy' was not at fault for that.

+Viajero Perdido Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 My sport vehicle: My utility vehicle: The utility vehicle, together with some serious back-road maps (I carry multiple different sets) are a killer combination for the kinds of caches I want - really remote ones. Plenty of room in the back for camping equipment (food, beer), and when rearranged a bit, one stretched out cacher. Quote Link to comment

7rxc Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 My son has a Jimmy, but it's not in as good of shape as yours. It was cheap, though! Nice parking spot, btw. I bought that one in 2006 when I was moving up here. It was a rush purchase and I was hoping it would last at least one year... it did!. It is getting a bit long in the tooth though. Still it drove us down to Ontario and back in 2010 and a lot of other trips. However, it is taking more time to keep it running now. Don't think it will be easy to find a replacement... so it will likely just go on a bit longer. Me too, I hope! Doug 7rxc Quote Link to comment

I take it you are that Moun10Bike. I always use that cache as a jibe at people who 'hate' caches in rockpiles. In fact I just made a recommendation to a person I'm meeting tomorrow at WBT as a good stop to make on the way over... my first searches for his username failed to find him in the logs, but the 4th one did for some reason.hmm Maybe he'll try the second one. edit: Don't see your username in the logs... aha!

Yes, we are getting older, it's starting to be more like work, but it's still our passion. Sounds like you're doing a huge part to keep things active in the hobby!! I praise you & your wife for all the efforts. I know - it's a HUGE amount of work (that most people don't realize). We started back in 99 with a Toyota truck. Around here, there's a pretty big jeep following with 2 very big jeep clubs. Having that Toyota history - we always wanted to get everyone (non-jeep) folks together to go offroading. We had started our own club and it lasted for several years until some politics & lack of people wanting to help out - it dissolved. The Jeep clubs have always been nice to include non-jeeps, but it was never the same. And then Paragon Adventure Park closed up. That place was awesome!! Rausch Creek was just getting started at that time - we help mark & cut trails for them. That was fun. After 10 years of wheelin.... We started geocaching. This is my 'pavement queen' geocaching vehicle. After all those years (and vehicles) of needing to do mud/maintenance - I vowed to keep this one clean & prestine. Quote Link to comment
