The Peanut Butter Brigade had a great time up near Mt. Vernon today. We celebrated two milestones: Pepper's 700th Cache and Lucy's Birthday!

While at a nearby cache, we just had to stop to take a photo for Moun10bike. You won't be able to use your walking staff on this trail!

Thanks, Marcus, for getting us out for some spectacular views. We had a great time today!

Congrat on your 700th Pepper! Happy Birthday, Lucy!!! Looks like I need to visit that cache!

Put a box out today...I was going to do Snow/Gem Lakes, but a girl at the trailhead with the Forest Service tells me the trail is closed for a few more hours so I decided to WaldenRun L&Rs micros up on the skilifts, but gave up after the first one.

Went over to Franklin Falls and put the box there. I'll post a link when it's approved. Should be easy to do. I'll get Gem planted next week.

Took a try at Mtnmutt's 4.5 terrain by Mt. Si...he's not lying man!!! Almost vertical slopes full of blackberry vines...got within 300 feet, but turned around in better judgement as it was closing in on 6 pm and people think i'm at Snow Lake. The cache is called Yep, it's up there. Long pants are mandatory and work gloves are a great idea for handholds on vines.

July 31, 2003

EGH, when you get turned around, I know better than to even get close to attempting it!!

A Big Rock with Big Views is definitely a winner. The views are amazing, and it's fun getting up there (even if I did get a cramp in my heel and whine my way up the last little bit). We've placed a nearby cache, which should show up soon.

Thanks EGH and TotemLake we had off the wall fun today. EGH the PBB also placed a cache today and I think Cindy is working on the page tonight. Today was full of nice trails, great views, Yummie Peanut Butter Pound Cake, and the best company a girl could ask for.

Hoping Lucy had a great B-Day we enjoyed spending it with her and to top it off doing what we the love most CACHING!!!

I really need to log some caches now.

Oh and Moun10Bike we found the perfect spot for ya the sign even said so!

Boy, I could use a slice of that PB Pound Cake...sounds very delicious! I love regular pound cake anyway. Sometimes like to have it with coffee in the morning.

We-eeeel, there's been some talk about getting you out with the Peanut Butter Brigade one of these days. Last week, while I was munching on my bagel with peanutbutter/peppercheese/lettuce, I told the others about your preference for PB&Bacon sandwiches. No one laughed -- we all approve.

I understand you haven't done the Monte Cristo caches yet, and that looks like a great hike (with 3 caches to be had!). You just have to promise not to walk so fast you leave us behind eating your dust, and we promise to bring pound cake (or something equally cin-ful).

I have a copy of Philip R. Woodhouse's Monte Cristo. Fascinating book about history of the region. Took it with me the first time I visited the area back in 1995. Amazing how things get so overgrown in just a hundred years.

So when are we going John?????? You do know you must bring a Peanut Butter Sandwich with you don't you? I can be any kind of bread with anything on it. It's base must be Peanut Butter!

I just got home from out wonderful day. Lucy and I went out to dinner afterwards. We are both stuffed and sleepy.

Congrats. Moun10bike. Did you see the trail we found for you?

So Mr. EGH when are we going? I want to grab the 3 new LucyandRickie caches in that area also!

Do you think you could stand being with 4 crazy woman? We have VERY interesting conversations.'Now girls we are going to have to be on our best behavior and watch our language, we have a very nice man with us today'

When did you say we are going?

My PB sandwiches are with Jiffy Smooth and Bacon Bits and usually on whole wheat bread.

Yeah, those L&R boxes sound good too.

Being in the company of, in your terms, 4 crazy ladies, doesn't faze me a bit. I'll enjoy being with you all in the great outdoors.

Cin didn't mention any dates. I'm assuming it will be like on a Thursday or something as that seems to be the day you guys usually go caching.

Glad you had a great day!

Okay, that sounds strange enough to me. You will do just fine. If you would of said 'I like PB and Jelly on white bread'. I probably would of thought....this guy is strange!

Your new cache looks fun! I may just take Aurie up there today, for a walk and a cache.

YES! Of course you can come with us sometime MTB! But as we told EGH, you must bring a PB sandwich AND we need to know what your recipie is .

About work. I have always had more people pounding at my door wanting me to contract for them. I run my business out of my home. This is the first time in my whole life in this profession that I don't have a contract!

Everyone you talk to is being effected by the economy, they themselves or someone they know. I have a caching buddy that is a professional in her field. She is feeling it also!

We will hope and pray this doesn't effect you!

EDIT: Dang! Is there a way to run a spell check on the forums?

You know you have a sickness when a little part of you actually hopes that the layoffs hit you so that you can have some extra time for caching!

Seriously, though, I am very thankful to still have a job. Of course, the type of layoffs we had would likely have meant that I would have moved to a new group and taken on a completely different set of responsibilities, but it would still would have involved interviews and the chance of being SOJ. Although the freedom to enjoy more time out-of-doors this summer would have been great, the stress from lack of income wouldn't have been worth it.

I know what you mean about the state of the economy. This state is what, second in the nation in unemployment now? I sure hope it turns around SOON.

I use Quickspell, a free download from http://www.fornada.com/html/home.html

It checks your spelling on just about everthing that you type on.

OOh that sounds and look cool! I wonder if I can convince the family to take a trip there for a dip.

On another subject, if you want to tour the navy ships in town for Seafair you have to get a pass several hours in advance at pier 66. They're actually docked by Magnolia at about pier 91. At least it shouldn't be crowded since it's a bit of a hassle.

Now that the heat wave seems to be over, we'll have to get our our magnifying glasses and start investigating.

I see the weather has relented to the point where there are a few operational brains among you again.

I must say that I never expected to experience such schadenfreude. It was especially gratifying when vds required twenty minutes to find the cache after the final misstep.

I only hope the rest of you will be as honest, forthright... and pathetic with your tales of woe.

As for the PBB and any other gangs that think there is strength in numbers, I hope to receive enough notice to send out my brother, Dr. Neil E. L. Bad, to observe and report back on the tribulation that gives me so much pleasure.

Oh my sweet Nellie,

It's not the strength in numbers ..... It's a matter of these being good kind people. I NEVER hate anyone Nellie dear. A couple of gentle hugs and kind word to stroke your poor little broken ego is just what you need! We love you SO much!

Why don't you put down those barriers of Evil and come on over to the happy side of life.

Find something to be glad about! Then you won't look like this . You can look like this sweetie-pie. Now let me see those pearly whites.

Hugs and kisses,

I did EGH's new Franklin falls today. Very nice! It was well worth a special trip.

I might have jumpped in if it had been the end of a long hike, but brrrr.

I also toured the guided missle destroyer Paul Jones at Seafair. Guess what they have on the bridge. No vendor flames now.

I saw in your log that you found the upper falls...never knew about them! Gonna have to check them out. yeah, it's a popular area and there was a cache there last summer by Donman007...one of his 20 or so planet/astronomy series, but he suddenly quit caching and pulled all his caches...don't know why. His hide was just past the junction towards the falls.

Took me a couple hours to find ohnly to find that EraSeek beat me to it for Firsties. Oh well.
