Not a particulary hard cache to get at, but it was snowing!

Congrats RWW I still remember my 200th find.

I just happened to notice, but I think it's funny that the 1000th post to this forum was about someone else's 200th find.

I was just playing with my queries, and the Spinner INI for icons.

Just an observation. We sure have a thing for micros in this area.

New stats page for us to tinker with! Free registration and just enter your data.

The war over signature pics started because of that site. I don't think they have permission to mine GC.com data.

There are hints that there is a stats page coming. Which means TPTB will not acknowledge other sites or services.

I had to enter my data manually. Wasn't aware of any data mining.

I may have the wrong impression. However Jeremy hinted that the sig pics were removed because of the stats images linked from that site.

Didn't mean to make the statement sound sarcistic. I just was agreeing with you. Sorry if it sounded sarcastic. Not my style.

It was more than a hint. He flat out said it was one of the reasons.

I don't believe that it has anything to do with data mining. The stats are entered voluntarily, and the data for the sig image is pulled from keenpeople.com. Jeremy's explanation for removing images from the signature centered around complaints of long download times from those on dial-up.

I'm off to Portland for the weekend for some seminars. If you happen to see a well-dressed guy wandering about with GPS in hand, please introduce yourself! It'll be me! I'll be trying to squeeze in a find or two while I'm down there.

Cheers!

You do know about the Beaverton Cache machine this weekend don't you? Not really a cache machine, but a spoof of one, I'm sure there will be some caching done

ok people, this cache needs a large group to hit it!!!

K7-wave and I have both tried this one two times and have struck out. We teamed up tonight for an hour at 8 pm. How about this...after the meeting on Tuesday weather permitting...we all hit this one:

October 18, 2003

I won't be at the meeting (have to teach), but it sounds like that Big Green Monster really needs a large group searching!

Their Mini Green Monster is a bit closer to home for me, but it doesn't seem too tricky. I may run by and do that one when I head to the library today.

Hea that't the exact time my husband was gone for a while, BUT our Maroon Suzuki SUV has a Platinum on the dashboard with license plate number TNLNSL.

Hey!!! This is really weird!!!

Lucy and I were driving south on the Bothell-Everett Hwy at about this time with two Garmins on the dash but we were driving a white Honda Civic with a geocaching.com sticker in the rear window!!!

How many GPS's does it take to find your way home?

3.5k · October 18, 2003

No, the plates had numbers and it was definately a legend. Thought I recognized the guy, but not sure who it was. He was passing through Mill Creek.

As for my weekend, well I didn't have much time to breakaway to even chase one that was 700 feet away.

Congradulations!

I thought about giving that one another try, but the recent rain (and my sanity) made me decide otherwise.

Instead I headed east again and finally Scored On Top of Old Peoh

Cindy, you didn't tell me it was hidden near the edge of a high cliff! I almost turned around and skipped it, but after driving 100 miles one way, decided i better finish the job.

Did I not say that my poor husband was contemplating divorce over this cache??

I think that at the point where I went to stand atop the rock outcropings for some great photos he just turned around and gave up on me. It is a pretty intense cliff when you get right up next to the edge...

There is a great view, though!

duplicate -- read the one below

Geez -- I really, really hate it when the discussion board posts duplicates, and then I go to erase and yet another one is posted....

So this isn't a complete waste of all of your time, let me say that I'm totally bummed I can't be at Tuesday's fun pizza bash/meeting. I won't be at a WSGA meeting until December.

I know you all will have a great time, though. PaulW really helped us out by getting a spot for us to meet -- it's tough to set thigns up each month!

Pizza Party II / McCollum Park Redux has been placed. K7Wave and I placed it at lunch time today.

Seven Travel bugs and lots of goodies from all the cachers that met at the Everett Pizza Party. Several Geocaching.com window clings, a great Christmas ornament from Pepper of Team SuperGenius, and lots of goodies from everyone else.

Way Point GCH3TQ as soon as it's approved.

I really had a nice time at the WSGA meeting. I missed the cache afterwards and I'm sure y'all had a good time. I'll get soon all by my self!

Hello from Wonderful Wyoming!

I'm visiting my family this week...and, of course, getting in some geocaching at the same time. There's only one in town -- the rest are drives with hikes, up in the mountains. All are beautiful spots, but dang...after living at sea level for a while, my high altitude lungs are gone. I get out of breath walking up the stairs at my parents' house (which, by the way, is at 7514 feet, according to my GPS).

Anyway, just wanted to say hello. I'll let you know when I've hiked up to some of the boulder fields with my siblings (and their various Magellans and Garmins) -- should be some beautiful pictures.

I was catching up on Seattle area news, and I see that tonight there's a great chance of seeing a good Northern Lights display...plus a meteor shower...all on a new moon night. Best viewing around midnight, from the Cascades or a hilltop above the fog.

http://www.komotv.com/stories/27931.htm

If I were there, I'd be dragging Jeff up a hill for some geocaching and skygazing.

Cin

P.S. I also see that they're asking hikers to report washed out trails and bridges in the backcountry. (http://www.komotv.com/stories/27929.htm)
