Central Valley Cachers

Recommended Posts

I'm waiting for the email back for the Ione Ivan virtual.  I wonder why that is a virtual there is a park righ there.  Plus the owner lives in the UK.  (just wondering, not complaining)

 

You may want to just log that one after a time (a week or so). If my memory serves me right it took quite a while to get a response back when I found it. Neat town though. That train and my self coming from the north, Big Sighs, wish I was running up and down Mt Shasta right now.

 

Peace!

 

P.S. When are we ever gonna get to 100!!!

he emailed me back last night. I guess I got lucky.

 

I found your fading history cache and have inquired briefly if it would make a good eagle project for my DS.

"Are we there yet Papa Smurf?!?!"

My oldest boy is preparing 2 caches. I don't know where he's going to put them so I suppose we'll partner together to do it properly.

 

it may be awhile.

You know, he's one of the few cachers that can place a cache near his school and it would be OK. Camel wouldn't even get in trouble or nothing. LOL.

 

Wow. Page 100! I've been here since page 18 after having my bike stolen and losing my cool. It happens. It's fun to look back on some of the old postings. Look at what someone found near my first cache. It was totally unrelated to Geocaching as far as we could figure out so what do you think they were up to???

My first cache was called Little Hawaii.

In honor of the groups 100 pages, I started at page one and started reading. I am reading about old clever finds/hides that aren't currently in my pocket query list. I do realize I'm starting small and working out so maybe I haven't come across them yet. I was reading about G-2 and Revenge Sweet Revenge when I accidently closed the page and lost my place. *sigh*

.....hey caching fans...we are on page 10 of our forum ! I suggest we just let it keep building instead of starting over.<BR><BR>I use a dialup modem and it doesn't take long to load it...must be independent of size factor.<BR><BR>I just set a bookmark for the new page each time it rolls over and delete the old bookmark.<BR><BR>Might be interesting to see how many pages we accumulate in 6 months or a year...I know we have far outdistanced our counterparts in the Sac and bay area...they're all visiting us !<BR><BR>What do you think?<BR><BR>Ron<BR><BR>I've never been lost. Fearsome confused sometimes, but never lost.

look what I found. Thought it was interesting reading for the occasion.

Great to see a couple of the founders show up. (I know Pat's always been here and thanks again for forgetting that bad bike day. LOL). Ron, you're right on the money. My other bike was loaded with geek-ware and would have doubled the loss and ended caching for a while.

 

I need to run [and hide]. Venona is back and he's up to no good. :lol::lol::lol::D:D:lol:

I guess this is a very big landmark for the CVC! Maybe someone should get an event planned *cough* Sanfut *cough* Camel*cough* LoL :lol:

Well I have ideas for an event. The problem is it requires fair weather!!! Can't be done in the rain. (well it can but most parents wouldn't want their young ones out in the rain!) I might step up here in a bit. I just need to check on a couple of things however first!

Gee guys - I was gone for less than a month and things exploded around here while I was gone. Glad that the fallout for Camel ended up being minimal. (unlike the poor guy at LAX!) The next time I leave I will make sure to log on. I checked email, but not the forums and have now learned that it takes a long time to read 7 or 8 pages of logs - especially if you just must follow the links!

100 - WOW.

Camel's troubles make me wonder if some of the earlier caches that I found -- near tracks, under bridges -- are still around. Scary stuff. I hope that cachers don't really pull their large caches - just caches in questionable spots.

It's good to be back.

I went to NJ to help my daughter (BRS) get her house ready to sell. (Yup, it sold!) She won't exactly become a CVC cacher because she is moving to SF, but I think we should give her special week-end membership status as I imagine she will be visiting us in Stockton ---- she BETTER --- and naturally we will go caching.

 

OF kindly emailed me a note when her cache went up. She advised that I run out and get it since it was so close to me. Little did she know that running out would be a 3000 mile run! I hope BRS and I will find it when she arrives shortly before Thanksgiving. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Although we had little time for caching while I was back East, we did include a night cache. My first. It was great fun. Two caveats. Mark the car. (thankfully we did) Bring extra flashlight batteries. (we didn't). Hmmm, do you take the batteries out of the GPS to use in the flashlight? :lol:

 

Caching in central NJ has an interesting advantage over most of the hunts I have done locally. There, you can pick a cache, park near it, and instead of find cache, walk to car, drive, find cache, walk to car, drive, etc. you can find cache, walk a half mile, find cache, walk a mile, find cache, walk a half mile --- and after several miles through gorgeous fall foliage you have found several caches, had a nice walk, and enjoyed the scenery instead of the freeway. It is like the caches in the Ripon park, but on a much larger scale. I loved it. (But it's still good to be back!) :D

My mom doesn't care... and it can be done in the rain. We're water proof by nature. LOL. There's also the option of keeping the gathering as a gathering rather than the start of an adventure. Even a coffee gathering with no extra surprises would work as long as it could house 40 to 60 people. [40 if it's raining and conflicts with peoples vacation plans].

yes this is true.... I think I'll step up. Just give me a day or to so that I can speak with my calendar. (aka wife) and make sure what weekend is good for us.

Bill - love this "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - strawberries in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming - WOO HOO! What a Ride!!!"

 

Is it a brilliant observation you have made or a quote from someone else?

McHenry River Park is closed again. I posted a note on the two caches. That is the perfect place for the dog to swim. *sigh* Had various success today, the 2 we meant to find we did find. 2 DNF, 2 finds, and 2 were closed.

 

Son was going wiggy with all the marks on the GPS. He said we could cache for days.

Sorry that I can't locate the author but I can promise that it was writen by someone much wiser than myself. I liked it too much to pass it up. Thanks for noticing. :D

Not only has this forum gone over 100 pages, but it is closing in on 5000 posts! What do CVC Cachers have that others don't...?

a) too much time on their hands

B) too little interest in other topics

c) a greater than usual need for cyber-connectedness

d) understanding spouses

e) faster modem connections

 

or are we just a gregarious bunch that likes to keep in touch with our extended (geocaching) family?

That is the latest code cache in the Bay Area. Of course I have already solved it..........

 

<_<:lol::lol: YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! :blink::blink::blink:

Link to comment
you mean a human can solve that?  oh man, and I never could finish the cryptic code games in the newspaper.

Stand by for answer. Time - we need more [free] time.

 

BTW, watch out who you take bribes from. Venona is one crafty dude. I suggest you just solve this puzzle and wait to see what happens next. <_<

Bill, how does one start figurig it out ?

 

and you personally need more [free] time or is that a clue? It would be useless for me to take a bribe from Venona because I'm not much help. I haven't got anything Venona wants except for [free] time.

too bad I don't have X-Box live......LoL

Ah man! :unsure: You have to get XboX Live. :lol: These St. Marys kids think they're abunch of bad a**es. :unsure: There's several groups of 16 players & looks as if the Juniors are whippin' up on the Freshman. :lol: There is also a small contingent from St. Luke's who want to test there metal.
