Weinerdog may not be attending SCM? sniff... Oh yah, Evergreen, I think I found that park and ride you want to meet at, but I'll email you anyway. Should be in your neck of the woods at 11:30 or noon Thursay. Cachecruiser got all sorts of new fluids and parts today, and is cleared by the dockmaster for launch.

+TotemLake Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Cool. Also, if you go to your list of caches that you found DNF or made any note on, it takes you to your log rather than to the cache page. Cheers! TL Quote Link to comment

TL Love the new maps (finally!), but wish they'd link maps from the 'find a cache' pages.

+TotemLake Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I'm with you Hydnsek. I liked to troll through the cache pages too; particularly on the ones I had DNF's on. Now, instead of one click away, it is two clicks away. Cheers! TL Quote Link to comment
MarcusArelius Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Agreed on the log list change! I think their intent was to make the log list really a log list. Unfortunatly this it not how I think it is used. I too use it to troll my recent caches to see what people have been saying about them. I wonder if geocaching.com realise they are increasing their server load by making people load extra pages. Ooops! Mark Quote Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 The easiest way now to do this is to do a search for your found caches from your cache page. It takes a little bit, but with a Quick Keys shortcut for my name it is only a couple of clicks and it gets me a listing showing when I found the cache along with the date of the latest find. It does not show notes or DNF's but otherwise is a good quick way to look over the caches you have found. Give it a try. This post is a natural product. The slight variations in spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no way are to be considered flaws or defects. Weight Man Quote Link to comment

Do others just want to see their own comments? Yuck -- agreed. Any time an extra click is added to a process, my shoulder twinges (repetitive stress injuries are not nice). I'm not sure why they changed things that way. The only time I look at old logs, it's to see who else has visited the cache (or who might have taken a trade item/travel bug left by me). Any editing on my part almost always takes place from the cache page itself, not my log list. Cin Quote Link to comment

+Grandpa Rocks & Grouchy Gramma Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Hey guys, just wanted to say hi to you all. I'm not a true eastsider cause I live way on the west of Portland, but east side of Beaverton, so sorta east. Great to see and meet those of you who made it to the SCM and to those I've met before. Had a fantastic time and can't wait for the next. EGH you really Rock and maybe I can catch you on one of those mountain top caches someday. marinerBC and cacherunner you guys were great and I couldn't have asked for better caching companions for the weekend, junior and I had a great time. Pepper, what can I say, you and the girls are a way cool team. One or both of the girls lent me some energy during the day to keep me going and never slowed down a bit. You guys were great fun. To everyone else, Hi, I pop in here form time to time to see what's up. See ya on the trails. I've gone to look for myself, if I should return before I get back, please keep me here.

+evergreenhiker! Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Finally got Fiendorfoe's Nero cache...what a wonderful hide! pepper was with me and we also got Anderson Park Arch...another great hide. No luck at all on Typical eastside cache though. Looks like from prior finders, we may have overlooked something???? Fen Dweller's Belt of my last Victim looks like a winner. Got started on it tonight, but dark loomed too close so I called it off. Quote Link to comment
+runhills Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 EGH, you amaze me in more ways than one!! Anderson was Awsome and you found it! Nero, well I have yet to tackle it! Typical Eastside is different than any cache I've seen. Our perplexion has left the owner frustrated. I sent an email with some thoughts in hopes that will solve his frustration Quote Link to comment
+Solar Max Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 I'm afraid I have a strange question, or more accurately, I'd like to brag about how members of OUR sport do things. While Cacherunner and I were having our bad luck after the Spokane Cache Machine with what we thought was a torn up differential, but was only rear brakes, a good friend of mine had much worse luck. He had left his commercial vehicle parked and locked here in Victoria, only to have a thief steal it late Sunday night, and subsequently place two people permanently out of work. The RCMP simply did not care that these people no longer could feed their children. It was not important enough to them. I felt terrible about this. The it occured to me: We had found every tiny little Bison tube from Spokane to Coeur D'Alene. How tough could an 18 foot long vehicle be? After work today, Team 3 set out to do what the RCMP could not do, as they don't always get their vehicle. I finally got to navigate, as I usually have to drive, so this was a sepcial treat for me. Based upon projected fuel mileage, and miles travelled by the missing vehicle since it was fueled, we narrowed our search grid to about 20 miles on a side, or 400 square miles, and began patrolling back and forth on each one road in a grid pattern, armed with my laptop computer running OZiExplorer, an eTrex Legend, and two BFL's ( Big Furry Lights) After about 3 and a half hours, I spotted the vehicle behind a tall chain link fence, after which we made quick on the spot repairs (tires, and cleaning up broken glass, as well as fueling the vehicle) and proudly drove the vehcile to the local RCMP station to inform them that their help was no longer necessary. I see this as a practical application of the skils that all the people who read these Fora have. Yup. WE FOUND IT! Now the dilemma. I left my signature rubber duck GLUED to the vehicle's dash, then went to the company office, where I asked for their logbook, and signed thus: "MarinerBC was here with TEAM 3 on Oct 1 to help out a friend. The Vehicle-cache was located after a medium sized search. Had great fun with this one, TN, LN, Thanks for the hunt." Now, how do I log it on the site? Tongue planted firmly in cheek, Mariner. How much intelligence does it take to sneak up on a piece of tupperware? [This message was edited by marinerBC on October 01, 2003 at 10:57 PM.] Quote Link to comment

I've been having that the last week or so. While I DO admit that the experience of doing KFWB GPS caches DOES help, seriously, what are the chances of finding the vehicle? Not very high, I'm afraid. I will, however, continue to ride this lucky streak that started in Spokane for as long as it lasts! Yes, finding the thing was way cool, but Pepper, George, EGH, Weinerdog, L&R, CachinCin, and the rest, you would have found it too. You're all better than I am at this game. That's not to say that finding it wasn't a BLAST! How much intelligence does it take to sneak up on a piece of tupperware? Quote Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Yah I've been on a kind of luck streak. 10 months unemployed. LOL At least I've had 2 phone interviews and a Starbucks interview in the last 5 weeks, and the rejection notices are coming in quicker now rather than 6 months later. I guess that means there has to be something happening. Cheers! TL Quote Link to comment
