More Geo-Decals!

[+fractal]

I just got some more Geocaching window decals made up. They measure 6"x6" and come in the following colors: red, white, yellow, green, and now PURPLE!

 

Here's what they look like:

 

Here's how to apply them:

Clean window (these are stuck on the outside)

Peel paper backing from decal, leaving it stuck to the tape part.

Place decal (sticky side down) onto window and smooth out ALL the bubbles.

Peel off tape and leave decal stuck to window.

 

Later on I'll post where I'm leaving the decals.

Well I wish I lived up closer to you guys so I'd have a shot at one of those. They make my new first finder certificates pale by comparison.

I was going to put some decals in Tree Hugger this evening, but it has been plundered. Even the container is missing! @#$*&@#$%!!!!

visit Eugene area and plant some in the caches around here, please!

[+fractal]

Hmmmm.. I don't think I've ever been to Eugene... And I'm not sure when I'll be there either.. heh

So until I make plans to head down that way, you'll have to come up here to get a sticker

We still have our Black Geocaching decal that we were able to snag from the "Low, Medium, High" cache (I'm pretty sure it was that one). Which was a good treat after all that driving around. Anyways, these decals are cool and it's really nice of you to make them. Maybe next time we head down towards Eugene, we'll drop one or two off in a cache down there. I think we might be headed that way next weekend, but we're not sure yet.

Sounds like you'll be heading down there before me. Think I could get some decals to you folks to place down that way? I know you White Rabbits don't like to be seen, so I can arrange a drop at certain coordinates if you like

I hope you come down. And if you do give us the heads up so we can make sure and get one (or two).

Then we can proudly display them on our cars.

We head down there fairly often since that's where the grandparents live. We might be doing so in the next week or two. If so, I'll see if I can grab a few from fractal to distribute while I'm there.

Sounds like a good plan.

I swear I'm going to get some over on the east side of town this time. Gives me more of a reason to hit some caches over there

Accidently grabbed two from the Mt. Top cache - didn't realize there were two here. Left one of them at the Rood Bridge cache. Keeping the other for my truck.

Well, we were planning on taking some down that way on our way to Honeyman park in Florence, but we can't get any campsites for the rest of summer. Stupid reservations, why can't people just go on spontanious trips anymore? Why does the campground have to reserve 400 of their 450 spots? There's no chance that we'll be able to snag one of the first come first serve spots because we'll be taking off Friday after work. So, I don't think we'll be headed down that way as we originally planned.

There is a chance that I'll be driving to the Bay Area at the end of this month. Planning on stopping for a few caches along the way, and could hit one near Eugene.

[+Family O Foxes]

Please! Please! Let me know when someone brings one this way so I can snag it! Since I am the one who is asking for it. *hee hee*

Alright, we just now decided that we're just going to wing it this weekend. No plans, no reservations, just headed down towards Florence for the weekend hoping something will be open somewhere. If not, well, we'll figure something out.

 

Anyways, if Fractal could tell us where we could pick up some decals without being detoured too much (preferrably in a cache we've already found and know where it is {maybe "Elegia")) then we can drop some off down towards Eugene. We might not go through Eugene, but they would at LEAST be in Florence which isn't that far from Eugene. We're leaving right after work tomorrow night, so if Fractal could possible tell us where we might be able to pick some up later tonight, we can try our best to do so.

I'll contact you by email later on and let you know where they will be...

[White Rabbit]

No problem

 

BTW: It would be best if it was around Beaverton area, somewhere around 170th (Elegia, Contact, 20 Cent, Where the Sidewalk Ends, Magnet, Boardwalk, etc.)

I left about 12 decals in the same park as Elegia. Details will be sent to you soon. And, as a 'thank you' for helping me distribute the stickers, I left a prototype of my future signature item!

While in the park, I checked on Elegia and it's gone I'll archive it shortly.

Bummer man, I wonder what happened to it. Seemed like a pretty dang good hiding spot to us. That's a real bummer, too bad you can't redo the location, but then you'd have to redo the entire puzzle. It's a shame it didn't last longer.

 

We'll try and distribute the decals along our way. We'll probably put 3 or 4 in each cache we find. I'll of course leave a note on one of them saying to leave it for "familyO'foxes" since they seem to want one.

 

P.S. familyO'foxes---what color did you want??

Bummer! That was going to be one of my projects this weekend while the family is out of town visiting grandparents.

 

Oh well, there is still ESP cache, I've only been there three or four times.

I was going to do Elegia for my 100th cache. I guess I'll complete the puzzle and find where it *was* just for the heck of it, but I'll save it for a bit later now.

 

*whimper*

 

btw, the wife is heading down to Eugene next Friday with the kids, if you want a 2nd set delivered. She knows where my I-5/OHL cache is hidden and can easily drop some in.

 

Also, I will be in Sun River next month if you'd like help spreading some eastward.

This may be sacrilege to suggest but since it is a really cool puzzle, maybe Elegia could live as a virtual (of course I've already found it, so what do I care )

This is sad news

Hard to believe that someone must have stumbled across it when it was hard enough to find when actively seeking it.

I do hope that you do something to bring it back though... it is a great puzzle and cache.

I'll see what I can do...

If I do put it back, it won't be in the same spot.

 

One of the funniest things I've ever seen was a picture of Pdxmarathonman's daughter (CrashNBurnGirl) standing on top of the rock that the cache was under!

quote:

CrashNBurnGirl, while standing on top of the rock, said:

"It can't be under the rock!"

Another funny moment was when Bodoni set his GPS on top of the rock to let it settle down a bit while he searched in other areas! Holding back the laughter was tough!!

 

-fractal

[+pdxmarathonman]

It was quite fun to watch her look for it since I already found it on my 3rd visit to the site! She truly had no idea where it was even though she's staring at the GPS that is telling her she's right on top of it

Hey now, in my defense The TJ! had moved the rock. So even though my GPS was saying 0.00' I couldn't see the cache because I was standing on it! I thought it was in a tree for sure.

[+makaio]

That's a picture I didn't need to see. I already knew the general area of the cache given certain subtle clues in folks logs and past conversations with fractal. The pic just gave it away. So much for trying to find this *virtual* cache

pdxmarathonman posted a letter from Kyle Spinks, who has been leaving notes in caches and then removing them, on this thread: http://opentopic.Groundspeak.com/0/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1750973553&f=3000973683&m=4710974105

Three others I was unable to locate in the time I allotted myself (one hour per site) and the last unlocated cache, Elegia:GC68AC, I haven't taken the time to decode the downloaded file yet.

Notice he said yet.

Thats right dang it! I kicked the dog dang rock over and looked right at it! Then I went looking in the dang trees! You know how I feel about buried caches fractal!

[+fractal]

Honestly (and technically), it wasn't buried

The top of the container had a chunk of cammo attached to it that looked like the ground... I honestly thought people would see the rock in the middle of that area and instantly think "that MUST be where it's at!"

 

I suppose the park guy could have removed it, but I'm sure he would have let me know.

 

When Bodoni was searching for the cache, a strange (shirtless) person did wander up from the area of the RR tracks and said hi to us. I guess the area was a little busier than I thought.

I seriously doubt Kyle removed the cache. I gave him a general description of the cache over the phone and he only expressed the same amazement as the rest of us.

 

His concerns are more along the lines of safety to cachers and enviroment, and except for the sacrificed kitten there was no harm done by this cache.
