+Cactusjeep Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Lost Garmin GPSIII after finding Cordova Stash, GCE86D on 6-23-03. Please keep your eyes open for me! Quote Link to comment
+worldtraveler Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I was there shortly after you. I didn't see it, but I'm willing to return for a search. How about some additional info to help narrow the search area? Was it possibly left near the cache, or did you lose it while hiking out? Which direction did you go when you left the cache? There is a deep ditch directly north and a smaller ditch joining it just west of the cache and wrapping around south of the cache. Did you cross any of these or did you initially head east to avoid the ditches? Did you park north or south of the cache? Do you know the approximate point you exited the woods?

+bitbrain Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 We could have a Saturday Morning Search Party! Anybody else up for that? Quote Link to comment
+ChrisCindy Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I will show up for it. Quote Link to comment
+bitbrain Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 The missing item in question should look something like this: [This message was edited by bitbrain on July 02, 2003 at 10:55 AM.] Quote Link to comment

I went out there the weekend after hearing about your loss. I looked for about 30 till I gave up and was half eaten by misquitos. I was just wondering it you think you set it down near the cache or while you were leaveing the cache area? Which way did you come in? Also there are alot of nearby kids that ride these trails alot. Its possible one of them might of picked it up. Quote Link to comment

+ChrisCindy Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 So is the weekend group hunt going to happen? Quote Link to comment

+ChrisCindy Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 8:30? You don't belive in letting the sun get warm first do you? Where is the best place to park for this one? My wife dumped me off and we used cellphones to organize the pickup when we did this one. Quote Link to comment
+bitbrain Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I parked in the neighborhood across the street on Looflirpa Day. Maybe Chuckie knows a good parking spot. Quote Link to comment
+ChrisCindy Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Maybe if there is a better spot it can get posted here. Quote Link to comment
+worldtraveler Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 When I wrote to Cactusjeep the other day asking for some additional details, he responded with the following quote:Thanks for the offer! I've been back 3 times myself and no luck. Left cache and went south to 4wheeler trails, then followed trails to where it came out, then headed back north through woods to Fletcher Creek, and exited just south of bridge. I plan on returning within the week to try again. Also to grab coords. for sixth Buddha!! Look for me shadowing Lizard, white dodge truck with camo at the bottom.I plan to do some cache hunting tomorrow morning; I'll try to do a walk through while I'm out. Sorry I can't join the fun on Saturday, but maybe I can get FTF on the GPS III tomorrow! If so, I'll be sure to post here. Worldtraveler Quote Link to comment
+ArkansasBugman Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I can be there. A metal detector would be helpful if anybody has one. Quote Link to comment
+nctreker Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 All this great event planning. I hope CatusJeep doesn't eventually find it under the passenger seat. That's where I lost mine once. Quote Link to comment

How about a decent time like...1:30 pm when the sun is warm and the birds have stopped singing. When normal people are just waking up...you know after lunch. OK see you at 8:30 am.

+bitbrain Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 C'mon, guys! 8:30 isn't even early for me & I used to be a musician... Ok. When I was playing a lot, 8:30 would have been early. If anyone has a travel bug that needs to go to the West Coast, I can take it in a couple of weeks. I'm going to visit the Mecca of Geocaching. Be looking for my Found It! log on the Un-Original Cache outside Portland. Hope I don't come back with too many Portland Cache Techniques for y'all! heh heh heh Quote Link to comment

+worldtraveler Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Hey Cactusjeep, I thought of something a while ago that can help us narrow the search area for your lost GPS III. If you have another receiver at your disposal, how about walking your original route from the cache to where you parked your car and then emailing the tracklog to whoever has time to search. If you don't have another receiver, perhaps I or someone else could meet you there. I wasn't able to make it to the "event" today, but I'll have some time Sunday afternoon or almost anytime Monday.
