+ski Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Fro and I will be there Saturday morning and Melvin's Madness and Muskrats,Mosquitos, and Muck are "Must Do" caches on our list. I think it would be cool to do a group effort on these two caches. With the Nor'easter hitting tomorrow, won't the tides be a few feet higher than normal? Quote Link to comment
+ski Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Yeah, I was out in Cheesequake today too, but I didn't see the other three guys who were out there. Quote Link to comment

A big hand to Ol' Magoo, found Muskrats, Mosquitos & Muck (even though he baled on Whitetail Retreat) You didn't do that one at lunch time did you Magoo? Yeah My lunch hour turned into 2.5 hrs today [] after Park Loitering and Gordon treasure, i tried to go straight to Whitetail retreat but was blocked (only had my sneakers) then did 3 steps beyond. Was going to leave but headed over to see if Muskrats, Mosquitos and Muck looked doable. it didnt 'look' bad . Slipped on the knee high swamp boots, but from my approach it still took a good 45 mins round trip for me. I will say, maybe i shouldnt, that in retrospect, there IS a way to this cache that is much better than any other but I didnt see it until after the fact of course. It was a long lunch for me today. Need to do Whitetail retreat again if i can figure out the right way to get to it. as well as steam boat landing and melvins. Guess ill bring my raincoat for lunch tomorrow! My youngest has first communion this Saturday and my house is filling up with guests. Sadly , i cant make this weekend activities in CQ. Have fun all.

+Harrald Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 If the weather gets anybetter I'll be going today (Fri.) and camping out. If not then we'll show up early Sat. morning. I still don't know what I should bring to the picnic. Any suggestions? I took the day off today so I can go and grab whatever is needed. ==================================== As always, the above statements are just MHO. ==================================== Quote Link to comment
+mr.magoo Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Hip boots or if you have them snowshoes. With snow shoes , you could walk right across the muddy swap lands to Muskrats, Mosquitos and Muck. Basically something to displace your weight. "Problems are merely opportunities for interesting solutions which can be implemented by those with the courage to be different." Quote Link to comment

Hey, maybe Hartclimbs can model the outfit he wore to the Passaic Hideaway cache for everyone. I hope the weather holds out for the Cheesquake outing. It's seems like the weatherman's been wrong about the rain so far. Geez, I wish I had a job where I could be wrong 40 percent of the time and keep it (well I wish I had a job period ) Anyway, have a great time everyone. Wish I could be there. And if Hartclimbs breaks out that outfit again, could someone get a picture! "It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues" -Abraham Lincoln Quote Link to comment
+RDVH Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Harrald I didn't see anything for soda or drinks listed on the page check that out. See you there saturday Quote Link to comment
+Harrald Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 OK, Soda and drinks Thanks RDVH. I'm a little fried after this week. ==================================== As always, the above statements are just MHO. ==================================== Quote Link to comment
+HartClimbs Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 I'll toss the snowshoes in the car as well! We'll see about whether they make it into the swamp....(as bad as it was digging them out from under the ice, I'd just abandon them behind if they popped off under a couple feet of muck!). No cameras please.... I'll bring a bunch of chips, frito's, etc.... general munchy fare....

+ski Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Did those brave souls who went after Melvins Multiple Madness late in the day ever make it back? Quote Link to comment
SunCrushNJ Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 I can say for sure... but with out scoring the tide was rushing back in on them.. so they had to make a u turn. Too Bad!! Quote Link to comment
+HartClimbs Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Although I had the snowshoes in the car - I realized I needed one more bit of caching gear.... Quote Link to comment
