+The Foote Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 On another note: I gave you all a fair warning awhile back, but someone forgot to tell the newbies. I have tag, and have a nice little spot picked out for him. Watch the cache page for the new co-ordinates. OMG! First it's the TERRIBLE TRIPLE TRIO. Now it's the TICK TRICKSTER. Bill, oh Bill, oh Bill...... whatever will you do THIS TIME? It's OK he has to pass US on the way out of town at the event! So we can hold him hostage for the safe return of TAG!

+Sanruft Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I had a hard time getting on tonight too...Got the same error and used a link to get on as well. I am sure they will fix it though. I like the new changes to the forum...It looks nice! I had a hard time getting to the forum. I kept getting a error code. I finally got here by using a link to the forum from the GBA forums. On another note: I gave you all a fair warning awhile back, but someone forgot to tell the newbies. I have tag, and have a nice little spot picked out for him.

It's ok Pat, you will be in (cough) good company with regards to kidnapping Tag...Withn all its recent travels though, who is claiming the frequent flier miles?? Quote Link to comment

+Brute-Force Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Hey Pat...Are you going on one last caching run while in California?? Did you ever do the night one in the bay area? I might get a chance to find a few more, but don't have the time (packing) for a full out caching run. Well, I hope you have time to run up to Manteca and find my latest project. It's my 1st LARGE container and what I consider my best ever cache. Hope to see it approved soon. And, it may have something interesting in it that you can take back east when you go.

+Fattuhr Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 I have some good news and some bad news. First the bad news: I have to leave a day earlier than planned. I will not be able to make the going away event. I emailed Kenny to let him know, to see if everyone would like to do it a day earlier. He said that is not a good day for him. I am sorry, but you can still have the event on Saturday, and I will be thinking about you guys. Second the good news: I get to arrive at my new house a day earlier, which means I can get things unpacked quicker and start my new job (which I am looking forward to). Quote Link to comment

It's really a bummer to hear the main suspect will not be attending. Even today, I'm still getting email from cachers trying to get to CVC Tag!!! Talk about getting the 'Welcome wagon'. I think Pat's has a rope! I better get back to writing my story - which will all indicate Fattuhr. Too bad he doesn't have a few minutes to defend himself. Quote Link to comment

BUT, while I was away I did a few VERY unique caches...With one of the cache owners permissions, they have allowed me to post some photos for sharing: Keep in mind that this is in the middle of the desert near Tombstone...I would LOVE to see an "illegals" face should they have accidentally stumbled upon this!! (It used to talk as you opened the casket...) I am also amazed that it has been there for over a year without being muggled...The cache is HUGE!!! Quote Link to comment
