my sister Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Ready? Set? GO!!! This week's meeting first involves a little contest (partially inspired by soup). It's a race to win, and yes... you will need your gps. Plan to take the MAX to the Washington Park Zoo, take the elevator up and meet at these coordinates: 45.30.717 N 122.43.116 W You'll want to try to arrive by 7:30. The contest will start by 7:45. Younger people are welcome, however the final destination will be a nice place to pickle our innards so plan accordingly. Quote Link to comment
my sister Posted August 5, 2002 Author Share Posted August 5, 2002 Hey, I've noticed that my post isn't getting any love here. Bellemanda and I have put quite a bit of work into this. Is anyone planning on showing up? BTW, we're planning on going to XV after the caper. Quote Link to comment

+Bodoni Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 I love your post - to the zoo I'll coast. Then to Fifteen SW Second a Bodoni will be beckoned. Quote Link to comment
+LaurenCat Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 I'll be there. As long as i don't blow myself up in lab tomorrow afternoon and all the homework gets done on time. Joey wants to go to the zoo, but i told him that the other cats are bigger and will eat him. If there's gravity, then how you explain birds!?! Quote Link to comment
igor71 Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 I'll be out geocaching the night before with another group, so we'll see how much sleep I get. Hope to see you all there. Quote Link to comment
soup Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 We must be very quiet when approaching this beautiful container. That last cache nearly bit me arm off! By golly I hope I can avoid the poision-fanged boss. A nasty, heartless creature, who would stop at nothing to devour my free time. Quote Link to comment
+slinger91 Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 I'll try like heck to get bubble_luscious to spend some of our vaction down that way. And the bonus is I won't have to leave Portland at 1am, and be to work at 4:30am. Quote Link to comment
my sister Posted August 6, 2002 Author Share Posted August 6, 2002 I'm also trying to get this approved as a cache... so you'll be able to log it too. Quote Link to comment
+fractal Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Hey! It got approved! The Golden King Pickle Caper -fractal Quote Link to comment
+Quantum Mechanic Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Sure wish I didn't have to work Wednesday night! COFFEE.....MUST HAVE COFFEE!!!! or maybe just a good Black Butte Porter! Quote Link to comment
+oregone Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 the most rewarding part will be when my team wins. I am accepting bets here. As an inner-southeasterner, i can offer pizza from Vincente's, PBR from the BM, gyros from riyadh's, breakfast at johnny B's, or 50% off a dance from Madison at Doc's. Anyone care to match my bet? all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment

Since I will not be able to attend, I'll give you 3to1 odds that one of the other teams beat you and your team like the iraqi army conscripts yous are! Easiest half off lap dance I ever won.

+MattandLaura Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 wish i could make it. Hope everyone has fun Quote Link to comment
+Bodoni Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 So here I'm thinkin', "Last time we were at XV it was chilly. I think I'll wear jeans this time." Little did I know I'd have to run over most of Washington County looking for a tampon and a jar of pickled string beans! The strange part was that it was somehow worth it. Thanks go to my sister and Bellemanda for setting it up. Great job that showed a lot of thought went into it. I'm sure igor71 will be posting pix soon. Speaking of whom -- igor71 was the perfect partner for team Pickled Tripe -- nice to meet you! And The TJ! -- I hope you enjoy your dances. Quote Link to comment
+fractal Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Nice little change to our Wednesday night gathering..we actually did a cache! Thanks to the ladies for setting this one up! Even though I came in 3rd, I had a great time, and I appreciated Oregone and LaurenCat's help while looking for the spike. If it hadn't been for them helping me, they probably would have come in 1st.. heheh I hold the spike now and am working up something that should be pretty fun. Thanks again for the fun tonight! -fractal Quote Link to comment
+dasein Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 ...hopefully next time! You guys ever have get-togethers on the eastside of Portland? What about a get-together at a fellow cacher's home? (Not that I'm volunteering our house, but merely a suggestion.) I could understand if privacy issues come into play though. However, to offset that, pickling your innards (as it's been so delicately put) is much cheaper at home than at a bar. Quote Link to comment
Sassquatch Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Hey fractal, maybe you could set something up on a Tuesday if that is okay with everyone else. I sure would like to get in on the fun. Git yer stinking paws off me you dadgum dirty ape! Quote Link to comment

I sure would like to get in on the fun. Actually, yes! I'm shooting for Tuesday the 20th @ around 7pm. It's going to take me a little time to set things up for my golden spike event. Although not required, you may want to watch the movie The Game before the 20th -fractal Quote Link to comment
+MattandLaura Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 great movie...if you make it somewhat handicapped accessible, i'll try to make it Quote Link to comment
igor71 Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 The good news is...I made home last night and got in to work this morning. The bad news....my head feels like a half-empty jar of Golden King Pickle juice. What a night though...Geocaching, pickled beans, PBR, Yam fries, more PBR, acrobatic stripping nuns on parade, even more PBR, and finally - half naked one-arm push-up contests....at 3am. Seriously though...who could ask for anything more in an evening. Special thanks to My sister and Bellemanda for making it happen....and to the rest of you fine folks for keeping me up way past my bedtime. Fractal....the ball is in your court. Quote Link to comment
+dasein Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Fractal, you've already got us hooked. Already got it on our calendar, too! Quote Link to comment

+Bodoni Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 That would fit nicely into my insidious plans! How about you other folks who can't make the Wednesdays? Does Monday work? Note that sometimes we actually Geocache -- what's up with that? Quote Link to comment

+The Tungsten Jihad! Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Igor, you left out the best pic of all, so allow me to assist... Here is team Beaver Nation celebrating their success at the great pickle caper. Quote Link to comment
my sister Posted August 9, 2002 Author Share Posted August 9, 2002 For showing up and making the First Golden King Pickle Caper a big sucess. Congratulations to Team Pickle Liver for being the first team back. Thanks to Team Pickled Tripe for being such good sports about having to tunnel underground and search for feminine protection. Another Congratulations to Team Pickled Eggs, as you now hold the Golden King Pickle. As for Team Pickled Pigs Feet... you came in last, but do you deserve special mention. Your team generously helped Pickled Eggs (even though he didn't need it...heheh). Finally, thanks again to Igor71 for thinking to bring a camera and to post pics. -my sister Quote Link to comment
soup Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Sorry folks for not being able to attend this caper adventure. 11.5 hours of highly stressful working conditions had rendered me useless. I fell asleep in my car. My bad. Quote Link to comment

BTW: Is that what happened on Tuesday night when you missed the exit from Hwy26? Wish I could have made it too, but I don't get too many hall passes. Quote Link to comment
