+exConn Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Anyone else looking forward to shaking off the cold and heading towards Spring weather in our region? Soon it will be shorts and t-shirts everyday. Yes! Makes geocaching a little more comfortable... -exConn What is Project Virginia? Quote Link to comment
+Tedoca Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Sunny and warm here in Maryland today as I'm sure it is in Virginia too. Time to get the cachemobile washed, waxed, and ready to go for the (predicted) great weather this weekend! Regards, Tedoca Quote Link to comment

True, calling it winter this year was probably a stretch. But I am looking forward to the 70 degree weather... -exConn What is Project Virginia? Quote Link to comment
+Harrald Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Today was fantastic! The weather was the best since last year. 2 caches and 8 miles later. This was a perfect day for caching with my bride (of 15 years). As always, the above statements are just MHO. Quote Link to comment
Mike Chmi Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I believe it got up to 70 here today, unfortunately I had to work all day. Quote Link to comment
+DxChallenged Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Ok so it was 71 yesterday. Did 5 caches and even I was tired. The weather stayed great the whole time. Then got home and soaked in the hot tub only for our youngest, butterfly girl to say, "hey Mom they say a thunderstorm is comming". Just then the wind picked up. Lightening flashed. the rain started and it sounded like hail. I got her out of the hot tub only to have the power flash on us. Then i threw the cover on and held onto anything secure till I got in the house. The winds were clocked at over 65 mph. Right now the temp is down to 30 and snow has returned. I think that I'll hibernate for the rest of the day......and it's only 6am! Dx Quote Link to comment
Mike Chmi Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 DX that weather you were talking about (the snow) hit here as well, on the way to work this mourning some idiot speeding on 1-90 crashed into me, the damage wasn't to bad but it's just the principle of the thing, 1) a drove a tempo for 7 years no one hit me, I get a brand new truck and it's been hit twice already ahh well. 2) Once spring has hit and then it gets could again people drive like morons. Now my day off for geocaching is probably gonna be getting estimates... nah I'll still geocache, they hit me, they're paying so they can wait a bit. Quote Link to comment
+DxChallenged Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Hey Mike I know where you are comming from!! During my college years I would spend summers workingat a local amusement park. I was on a maintance crew. Our parking lot was right tight and used by many people. My father had fixed up an Orange Austin Marina for me. My all time favorite car. Leather steering wheel, toe warming heater, wooden dash and I could get it up on 2 wheels if I turned the corner just the right way. Well one day I went out to the lot and saw that someone had scratched my car. I fummed all the way home....then thought of a plan. I found the biggest screwdriver that my dad had in his shop. Put that in my car and presented it the next day in the break area. Mind you there were some rather burly looking guys there....I walked in with the screw driver and said "Ya see this. Well yesterday someone scratched my car...I brought this with me in case anyone else wants to do the same thing...it's makes a really nice line!" Whoa....that really was me.......many years ago..... Dx There in the sunshine are my highest aspirations... I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead.

The Artful Dodger Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I remember speaking to a fellow geocacher I met up on the trails here in North NJ before the onset of Winter. I mentioned to him that geocaching might slow down due to the upcoming winter season ( This is only my second season here) His response.. " Winter? What winter? You aint been here long, fella! Winter wont stop us from geocaching!" Quote Link to comment
