You too Kitelady!

I'm looking forward to the weekend and planning on doing some catch-up caching, getting some nearby ones that I haven't hit yet.

 

All this rain and wind has slowed me down a bit -- time to get outside again!

 

Cin

[+evergreenhiker!]

yeah, I'm off to my Cherry Cache tomorrow. Escorting LuckyKatz and Cache Ahead. I guess they both tried hunting for it and couldnt' find it so I'll make sure that they get it this time.

 

Now, K7s micro is bugging hte hell out of me....two full shots at it and nothing so far. probably give it a look again on sunday. Busy tomorrow with Cherry Cache, etc.

 

Also Genetics cache...this time I'll get it or bust. Probably sunday.

Hi Kite Lady

 

It's always fun to see you. We don't do that enough. Maybe we should start making play dates where we come down to see you or you up to see us?

 

Anyway, glad to see ya on the forums!

Jeff and I hit Flyindog's River Walk Holiday Exchange today. It's a fun cache with a nice holiday theme.

 

I wanted to give a heads-up to any night-cachers out there -- this would be a great one. You'd be treated to many holiday lights along the path and near the final cache location.

[+hydnsek]

Now to the big question...does anyone have any idea where the Christmas party will be this year so we can all get in on the chance to win one of these things?

 

Is any one working on it? We didn't make the Christmas party last year, we were out of town and don't know who put it on.

 

If no one else is working on finding a place, I'll take it on.

 

Lucy

I'm working on it. Hopefully, we'll be able to get the same place (the community center in Issaquah), but if anyone has alternative suggestions please let me know. We need a facility where we can bring food, have fun, and raffle off those quilts.

 

Cin

So, any update on the WSGA holiday party? I might miss it because I haven't seen anything, but when I dropped a bandana off at Pepper's house today, her husband said: "She's out getting her nails done for the geocaching holiday party tonight at Seth!'s house." What?!

 

I came home and hunted all over geocaching.com, WSGA site, my weekly cache notifications, and this forum, but nada except this note from Cachincin. Still being kinda new to the area, I was psyched to have a party to go to and see some caching buddies! Hope everyone had fun!

The WSGA holiday party is between Christmas and New Year's, so you haven't missed it. I'm still trying to figure out what the place is that we used last year -- it's not the Issaquah Community Center, like I thought (that's a much larger building, which costs money to reserve). We used a room that was next to the fire station.

 

Does anyone have any ideas what this might be? Anyone remember who set this up for us last year? If I can't figure it out, I'll drive over to Issaquah on Monday and just try to figure out where we were and how to reserve the place.

Awesome! Oh, the difference a word makes ("hall" not "center").

 

Thanks George.

And here's another cache to do by Christmas lights after dark (this time specifically designed that way):

 

Delightful Cache

 

I'm hoping to head over tonight to combine some lights-gawking with geocaching.

Enjoy the cache it's a good one.

 

FINALLY I have finished the first of 7 quilts.

I will post a pic of the finished one here if my computer skill will allow me.

 

First finished quilt.

Very cool Pepper!

[+CachinCin]

Beautiful, Pepper!

[+evergreenhiker!]

Fantastic job!!!! Hey I see you went to the christmas light cache too! Cool lights or what! I went out night caching...3 out of 4 Couldn't find Cachette but felt really conspicious lurking around between houses approx 945 pm so I didn't look as hard as I usually do. Others got besides the lights one, the viewpoint micro at 10 pm and the flying dogs cache in Redmond earlier on

[+NomadRaven]

Pepper, that is so pretty! I am so impressed!

 

Oops, I seem to have popped out of "lurk" mode.

[+k7-wave]

Wow, Pepper, the quilt looks FANTASTIC! Too bad I wont get a chance at one as I'll be in New Mexico during the Christmas Party . I will try to get out to one of the Christmas lights caches one of these nights when it's hopefully not so wet.

K7WV,

 

Never fear I plan on leaving the Bandana Backpack up year round. It will have a duel propose TB hostile for the Eastside and when it collects enought Bandana's for a quilt I will continue to make them for FTF gifts.

 

Wanna give back to the Caching community that keeps me busy and entertained with new caches and 24/7, 365 days a year!!!!!

Gosh! My geo-girlfriend spoil me rotten.

 

I was blessed by their company for an afternoon of lunch and chit chat. AND dear little Lucy brought two bandanas for my code names! One.... being my alter ego whom not any of you know! Hee, hee! Yeah right!

 

Pepper, I want to know where you get all that energy! That's a tremendous job to take on. And it all came from your dedication to the geo-world. Beauty!

 

Thanks,

Hey Hydnsek!

 

Did I spell your name right? Not to worry. There is a Christmas function in the making.

Seth! and his wife Erin had their friends over and a few geocahcing buddies from way, way, way back when. It wasn't a geocaching occassion per say. But we did enjoy the company of others. They were very hospitable. I do wonder though what the other guests thought about the few clowns in the kitchen talking..... something about GPS stuff!

 

We will have our geocachers only party. Hopefully Seth! and Erin will come.

 

BTW. Peppers nails really did look great!

Hey, does anyone have any TBs that need/want to go to Tennessee or Alabama? I'm headed back on the 18th for the holidays and will be glad to transport some hitchhikers.

I have one that wants to go to North Carolina, so your trip would be a great leap. Just - where would I leave it for you to retrieve? I'm over in Port Townsend...

Hey Hydnsek I've got a bug that wants to go to Pittsburg. TN is much closer than here!

 

Lets meet up this W/E, Chinese Dragons?

Good question. I have a friend driving up from Portland on Friday to visit me. If you could find an EASY cache not too far from I-5 to put it in, I could maybe have him pick it up. He's not a cacher, so 'easy' is definitely the key. However, is this even feasible? I definitely won't get anywhere close to you before I leave next week.

 

MA, I emailed you a reply for your bug. Chinese Dragons sounds good - Sunday?

Does one of Pepper's pieces of art go along with the noogie?

FOF,

 

Pepper would hunt me down and give me triple extra noogies if I were to go around promising quilts.

 

I went to see her today and she was kind enough to give me some of her chicken and dumplings to take home so Rickie wouldn't starve. We're talking some serious stuff here. Made the true way (southern to ya'll) it does not have carrots or peas involved. As I was driving and trying to keep the pot from spilling over, I just couldn't help but noticing all the tail gaters behind me. Was the aroma wafting through my windows? Or did Pepper make it a moving cache? I thought I recognized Shelle riding too close to my bumper.

[+runhills]

Well since you were traveling mid-day, it is unlikely that the tailgaters were headed for a FTF which seem to be found in the very early or late hours!

 

Tell rickie I am jealous!

[lucyandrickie]

Yeah, you should be jealous

 

I don't know that Rickie will get any of this. I'm trying really hard to stay away from it but it's just too good

 

I'm trying my best to keep that dipping spoon from that pot but it's a losing battle at this point.

[+kitelady]

Hay L&R were is my soup you can bring some down here to me that sounded good to Iam going to haft to come up there reail soon kitelady

Boy that sounds awful good!

[+Pepper]

LUCY put down the spoon and step away from the Chicken and Dumplings!!!!!

 

The third quilt is now copleted and in the hand of Lucy she is doing the hand tying for me.

 

Oh yeah CachinCin is also helping on the hand tying of the quilts.

[lucyandrickie]

Cin

Yes, I did try for it...noticed tonight and though what the heck...nice night out. Kinda a long drive for a DNF but fiendorfoe's micros are my favorites...challenging and usually out in the open. Wonder who'll find it first now?

[+CachinCin]

Pepper and I were amazed to get a FTF on a special cache this morning:

 

Oh Tananbaum, by Dreamer

 

What a fun caching experience this was -- bit of a hike, lots of switchbacks, splashing through streams and mudpuddles, and a box full of ornaments for the Charlie Brown tree at the end.

 

I'm sure Pepper will chime in soon to tell you all to go out and give this one a try. Aurie gives it a big paws-up for dogs, too. If you go, be prepared to splash through some water, climb over a few fallen logs, and go up about 600 feet in elevation (with a 2-mile round trip hike). Also, read the first of the two hints for information on finding your way to the trail.

 

I think I need a nap,

 

Cin

 

P.S. We placed a Peanut Butter Brigade sticker in the logbook, so we're hoping more PBB members will head up there soon.

[+evergreenhiker!]

Too wet today for me! I'll check that cache out towards end the week or the weekend.
