Guest Curtis Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 Hello everyone... I was not sure if anyone stoped by the boards. I am new the the sport but have been folowing it for about a year (got a gps for xmas from wife). We where going to do a cache today but the snow started . I have a few ideas for caches to hide once i get a few finds under my belt. Some possable future cache locations (Otter creek [very nice park/creek in york side of river],Peckway creek [lots of trails off the creek and some that follow the entire thing],Rail to trail off Auction road in maheim [ i think its 4-5 miles to 283 in ladisville]). I have collected a few links of site from the local area. If you have any please post more for me please. http://www.angelfire.com/pa2/yorkhikingclub/trails.html http://www.pplweb.com/delivering_energy/a/landman/trail_index.html http://sites.state.pa.us/PA_Exec/PGC/SGL/ser.htm#Lancaster http://www.lancasterconservancy.org/ http://www.lancasteroutdoors.com/railtrail/main.htm http://www.lancasteroutdoors.com/hiking/main.htm http://www.conestogatrail.org/ ------------------ Joshua Curtis http://curtisonline.net Quote Link to comment

Guest weebeeus Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 I no longer enjoy myself I'll look for harder more complicated ones. Right now I'm still learning to use my GPS. I've got an idea for a hichiker and am waiting for my bugs to get here. I have just started thinking of a cache - but it's going to be awhile before I do more than think. Quote Link to comment
+PULASKI Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Greetings! Spent last week in sunny FL and scored 7 virtual and real caches. There are many hidden in Disney/MGM/Universal/SeaWorld. I wish we had planned better! One of my pet peeves is people who put utter junk in a cache as their contribution and those who hide their caches with little or no thought. It seems that Florida is home for a whole lot of these people. I didnt encounter an ammo can anywhere and most of the plastic tubs were soggy messes inside. We even brought one back to the hotel room to clean and dry it. We left a traveller from York County and brought one home. Speaking of ammo cans - I have a bunch of .50 cans if anyone needs them. You can see a pic of what a .50 can looks like at: www.joesarmynavy.com/ ammo_box.htm I bought over 100 of them on a whim last year and Mrs Pulaski doesnt think I need that many! Also, I'm thinking of having a geocachers picnic this spring. Maybe ammo cans would be doorprizes!! My SEPTEMBER 11th 1777 and TRIBUTE TO THE NATICOKES caches are out. They will pop right up under a search for zip 17578. Just a few rambling comments! PULASKI ( Northern Lancaster Co ) Quote Link to comment

Hi Pulaski I think a picnic would be a great event! I'm from the York area and have been thinking the same thing. If you need any help let me know. There are a couple cool parks that would be great for a picnic and a special event geocache. GeoScouter Quote Link to comment

+PULASKI Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Greetings folks! I have gotten several replies about a cachers picnic - so - lets get one started! I attempted a find of the CAPT MORGAN'S cache yesterday and thought that the far side pavilion would be an excellent location. Its just a few minutes off Rt 30 going towards Millersville. Thats not too far from the Reading, Harrisburg and York areas as well as close to Lancaster. The kids playground area is nearby and the pavilion is over a small hill so the general gawking public wouldnt be staring at a bunch of people oogling GPS units and green ammo cans!! Lets shoot for MAY or JUNE. I dug out 6 or 8 ammo cans as door prizes. Anyone interested in helping set this up can contact me directly at hooahman@redrose.net MissJenn & Geoscouter: Please get ahold of me so we can get this started. I will call Manor Twp and see what dates are available. Bye for now - PULASKI hooahman@redrose.net < a huge proponent of cans as caches and equally huge opponent of dollar store junk as prizes! > Quote Link to comment

+PatLes Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Great idea. Count us in. I have some time during the week, so anything I can do to help set it up, please let me know. Let's try to think up some fun geo-activities for the kids (translate: all of us) to do. lmiller1@supernet.com Quote Link to comment
+PULASKI Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 GREETINGS! MissJenn has volunteered to do a webpage for the picnic: check it out at: http://users.beanstalk.net/jsk/geocaching.htm Quote Link to comment
