+Man In The Wild Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 8am? It's possible to wake up for that? (Of course, it's about a six hour drive for me...) Quote Link to comment
+robert Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 RobAGD: you going to make it to the MGS Fall picnic or sept meeting? ~robert Notice: Driver carries less than $20 cache. Quote Link to comment
+RobAGD Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 It all depends on my paintball schedule and travel. I cant not ever make a saturday event, I work retail and getting a saturday off is like getting a 4 day weekend, beyond just rare. I have tried to hit a few when I had time but most of the md events are on saturdays :/ -Robert Quote Link to comment
mortonfox Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Why does it end at noon? That's only 4 hours long. I'd probably just make it to the end of the event if I started driving out from my place at dawn. Quote Link to comment
+JoeCthulhu Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 I am open to changing the time. If please let me know your preference. At this time I'm going to change it to be from 10am to 2pm, but will consider other changes too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ War is God's way of teaching Americans geography. -Ambrose Bierce, writer (1842-1914) Quote Link to comment
+RobAGD Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Well that means you need to come down the night before or start a bit earlier -Robert Quote Link to comment
+GLM Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I liked the 8am start time, but that's just one man's opinion. You never know, I might have to cut grass in the afternoon. Gary Quote Link to comment
+JoeCthulhu Posted September 11, 2003 Author Share Posted September 11, 2003 Gary, If it's just you and me, I'll change it back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ War is God's way of teaching Americans geography. -Ambrose Bierce, writer (1842-1914) Quote Link to comment
+GLM Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 JoeCthulhu, You gonna start an annual trip to "Summer of 69"? ha ha ha ha ha ha ROTFLOL! http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=50140 Quote Link to comment
+JoeCthulhu Posted September 14, 2003 Author Share Posted September 14, 2003 Gary, Summer of '69 is a cache worth of a pilgrimage. I'm guessing it won't be found on foot until the next big freeze. Borrow some hip waders and prove me wrong. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ War is God's way of teaching Americans geography. -Ambrose Bierce, writer (1842-1914) Quote Link to comment
+RobAGD Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Well I was hoping summer would dry it out some. No chance of that at this point. I MIGHT be making another stab at this thing from a very differnt direction. -Robert Quote Link to comment

JoeCthulhu, I haven't been by this site yet. Reading the logs has been enough to keep me away. Even if I DID own hip waders, I'd be afraid I would get stuck and never get out. I think I'll try to wait for the "Big Freeze" to see this one. Gary Quote Link to comment
+crashmore Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 I'm starting to think this one might be worth the trip south! "Law pain i reviar mistar aen" Quote Link to comment
+JoeCthulhu Posted September 15, 2003 Author Share Posted September 15, 2003 It was placed before the official end of the drought, and right before the freeze. Once everything thawed, it was no longer accessable via the means identified by the hider. I would be happy to accompany anyone who attempts this cache (to verify if it is still there) if provided with hip waders, or a canoe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ War is God's way of teaching Americans geography. -Ambrose Bierce, writer (1842-1914) Quote Link to comment
+JoeCthulhu Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 Just a reminder. It's this Sunday. Gonna hit between 32 and 35 caches in only 4 hours. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ War is God's way of teaching Americans geography. -Ambrose Bierce, writer (1842-1914) Quote Link to comment
+GLM Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 So, what is the official start time? Meet at the posted coords? Do you happen to know what stop that would be on the Metro? I don't think my GPS will work on the subway, or I wouldn't ask what stop it was! ha ha ha ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Drop back 10 and ........trip over the cache.

+GLM Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 JoeCthulhu, I posted a note on the cache page about the possibility of going by "Washington DC Live" and grabbing a group picture if we could find someone at home by their computer. While looking at the map of the suggested caches, I saw a few that you might want to look at and possibly add. Your walk, you decided. GC8B0C Actor Really Did Break A Leg GCDE1 Capitol View GC2657 I Can See Lincoln G2D0 Capitol Happy (at least look for the clues) Unless someone else gets this, there is also a stranded Travel Bug real close to our walk. http://ubbx.Groundspeak.com/6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=5726007311&f=7316058331&m=17260619 Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Drop back 10 and ........trip over the cache.

+RobAGD Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I got roped into working on my day off So if its between 11-5pm on Sunday I can take the pick from work for you guys. 703-273-7732 -RObert Quote Link to comment
+JoeCthulhu Posted October 9, 2003 Author Share Posted October 9, 2003 I think we have to go with the revised start time of 10AM. There are too many people coming now to change it. By Metro I'd get off at West Falls Church (Blue/Orange Line). I live 2 miles from the Springfield Franconia Metro Station. Gary maybe you'd want to meet me at my place, and I'll drive you in. I'm aware of some other caches in the area that we're passing up. You missed Squiddley's Bugs are Gems. Some of them aren't too interesting. I'll point them out for folks, and if they want to do them... Also GC8BOC, isn't doable right now, I think the street is tore up. I'd be up for the Web-cam cache, if anyone can manage it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ War is God's way of teaching Americans geography. -Ambrose Bierce, writer (1842-1914) Quote Link to comment

Someone posted that their daughter would be able to do it up till noon(I think), and RogAGD said he got snagged to work so he could do it from 11-5(I copied his work phone). Looking at the map it appears it would be 6-8 blocks out of our way. We could even hit it at the end to see if anyone still had any energy left to walk to it, or leave it up to the group that shows up? This all sounds like fun!!!!!!!!!!

+JoeCthulhu Posted October 10, 2003 Author Share Posted October 10, 2003 Oops I meant Farragut West, not West Falls Church. I wait for you to e-mail me.

+donbadabon Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 For those that missed it, you must plan on it next year (if JoeCthulhu plans one). It was great placing the faces to the names, and JoeCthulhu is a great guide, providing tidbits of information about the city as you go along. Very enjoyable, definately glad I went!
