+georgeandmary Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 I just sent Bill my first try at the coolridnates for his Centroid cache. Wish me luck. I won't go to try to find it tonight. I might be able to go tomorrow. Assuming I'm right. george Remember: Half the people you meet are below average. Quote Link to comment
kurtuleas Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 The guy that drove the jeep backed it up over the rock. The picture was taken in the "Parking lot" of the Rubicon trail up past Georgetown. Look VERY closely at the area at the back of the jeep.....see anything strange? That blue square is the hint that Mr. Gigabyte was playing around with adobe photoshop. The same way that guys was cheating on those virtuals. Had you going though didn't I? If you go to my website though, all the 4x4 pics under the camping section are real. I just took the body of my rig and superimposed it over the other guys truck. There's a LOT of trucks up there that can do that. I'll get my new jeep Rubicon in 6 weeks, and then I won't have to fake the pictures to impress my high school kids. KURTULEAS Quote Link to comment
Ron Streeter Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 ....I'd never done one before that I recall, and by making my Century Plant (#100) a MO cache, I got to see who had been calling it up. I saw the usual local suspects and surprisingly some folks from southern California and elsewhere. Kind of a neat deal, and I'll probably leave it MO for a while anyway...seems like all the area cachers I know are in fact members. Don't let the fact that the Morris kids glomed on to the money stop you from looking for this one.(btw...the money wasn't enough to put them through college..or even a day of grade school) It's a fun cache to find....and you can always try to improve on their "find times" !

+Green Achers Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 Well, day two of the cell phone hunt still turns up nothing (which shows what a great cachers I am). Looks like someone got to Ron's caches already... way to go! I'll be going there, even if all that lettus is gone. After all, it's the challenge of the find (like finding a cell phone in piles of dirt). No email's yet regarding the Centroid of the Tracy Triangle... I hope my e-ddress is correctly entered. Green_Achers@HotPOP.com I'd love to have anyone prove I did that job correctly. Mike, Sorry. I know about Green Acres and it's a nice place but I can't claim ownership. I think their place goes more and I'm sure it employs more... We have to work full time so we can afford to farm. If we meet this weekend, I'd expand. Anyway, we have Green Achers Farm. But that's just another story for this weekend. Bill of Green Achers "A closed mouth gathers no feet!" Quote Link to comment

I have one flight in the morning and after that WE ARE GONE!! if any of you have never seen an air race it's a sight to see. One day I will be raceing my own plane. It's been a dream of mine for a while now. When you have a job that you love it sure makes life better. When we get back be on the look out for an Aviation cache. I think you all will like it. Ron, We had a good time caching with you today. It was alot of fun. I hope you all have a good weekend. Mike P.S. Pat and Jaimee, I just heard that Thursday is national stay home from work and school day!!

+JaimeeG Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I certainly wish I could skip work and school on Thursday and go do something fun!!! The work part is no big deal, but if I miss a day of school on this new shortened semester, I will bury myself. We have spent most of yesterday looking for one of our dogs. My Plott hound, Mali, was missing yesterday morning when I went outside to feed. She has gotten out before but always stays right here at the house; this time, she is nowhere to be found. I walked the road and then drove all over our area as well. Pat has been to the animal shelter twice as well. Mali is a very, very pretty dog and loves people, so I am thinking that maybe someone saw her and nabbed her. I just hope that if that is the case, whoever has her is not mistreating her. Well, I guess I better get my work going here. I hope everyone has a nice day. Have a safe trip to Reno M&C! Jaimee Before criticizing others, you should walk a mile in their shoes.

+Green Achers Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Pat and Jaimee, Sorry to hear about your dog missing. I rather lose a cel-phone or a bike than a dog. I hope it turns up today (a little hungry and real happy)! I once had an idea of building a web site for the dog pound(s). They would take a digital phone of all animals they "find" (or take) and down load the photo to the web. Then, if it's not claimed, the photo would transfer over to an adoption page. I figure most of us would like our animals back, but if not, someone else will love them. The fear is that the system is not so caring and... I don't want to talk about it! Bottom line is that the site never got build (to my knowledge). Hope you find Mali waiting for you tonight. Bill of Green Achers "A closed mouth gathers no feet!" Quote Link to comment

Ron Streeter Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 ....when my 85 year old student told me she had sold her car to her neighbor. For the last 6 months I have admired this woman who twice a week came to class to learn Word and Excel. Each evening after two hours of class she headed out to the parking lot and hauled herself into her high-slung, 1987 Toyota pickup. She sold this 4x4 with a little camper shell for $2,500. It had 11,000 one-owner miles on it. Still crying. Ron I've never been lost. Fearsome confused sometimes, but never lost. Quote Link to comment
kurtuleas Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Hey Ron, You can still buy my '93 wrangler! For you only $4,000. BTW you're killing me with those members only caches. I don't draw my first back to school paycheck from HUSD till october first, therefore I have 0 funds and no extra cash untill then to buy a membership. Hey C&M let me know if my uncle's plane is up there, it's a blue bi-plane that they race named the "Legal Eagle" (although the name may have changed) He owns it with a group of lawyers Hopefully I'll have my new caches out by sunday for you guys.

Ron Streeter Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 ....I had never placed a MO cache before, and the only reason I have some like that now is that I am interested in viewing WHO has been looking at them. That is apparently only possible if they are made members only. The 100th cache drew some attention from around the country somehow. The three new ones listed in a post above this one are all in the Lake Berryessa area. The one labeled "adult entertainment" has gotten the most interest ! I will be changing them all to non member only caches within the week after I monitor them a bit more. I really don't see the need for them, but that tracking of viewers is of interest to me. I think Jeremy could make that work for people who are paying members, WITHOUT the necessity to make the cache MO. *********** Your jeep....that Toyota pickup story was just so fantastic...the true little old lady car. Can you imagine only 11K miles since 1987? I would have bought it in a minute. YOur jeep looks nice but is too high off the ground for me. I had a 90 Wrangler Sahara which was nice, auto and air. If it had a hard-top (or if I had added one) I would have kept it. My interests and needs changed. If I ever win the lottery I will buy a new H2 AND a Wrangler. Ron I've never been lost.

Ron Streeter Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 ....Hey Bill...the Dan Miller California stats appears to discount finds and hides done in other states, and perhaps locationless too (since many of them are other states). He adds together the finds and the hides so if a person has a fair number of hides to complement the finds, they go up on the list. *********** Another stats page is this one by Gustaf in Sweden. http://www.geocaching.info.se/ Once you get to the main page, click on the world statistics link and then the finders or hiders link. He has separate listings for finds and hides. Also, a popup swedish advertising box will appear on your screen at some point. Just click it off. ************* Jaimiee...no excuses.

Then when I found out it involved math it had me worried. I can't count to 21 unless my pants are off. I kinda cheated and tried to have the math teacher across the hall figure it out for me, but she said she didn't know how to do it with LAT and LONG. She DID explain what a centroid is, but with football, baby, work and commuting I just didn't have the time to figure it out. KURTULEAS Quote Link to comment

+C&MMorris Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Hello everyone, I hope your last couple of days where good ones. We had fun in Reno. We spent most of our time in CIRCUS CIRCUS letting the kids play. We got to do some caches. They remind me of Sacromento caches in the way they are hidden. Alot of the caches I will have to bring my jeep. There is alot of jeep trails that you have to take to get to them. We will go back and get them!! Now on to the Air Race's, It was a bad Friday the 13th for a couple of racers. One guy lost his life (TOM ROSE) when he was coming around turn 4 at 300 mph and about 100 agl (above ground level) when he lost control? and dove strait into the ground. It sounded like a bomb going off. The plane discentigrated. needles to say he was killed instantly. Watching that is like someone putting a knife in your stomach. Bill of green acres was there also and called me to see if I had just seen what happened. After about 10 minutes had went by another plane was coming in and he crashed also. another scary sight but this guy lived. He was very very very LUCKY!!! Now that we are back we will be doing some more caching this weekend. Mike Flying is the 2nd greatest thrill known to man...Landing is the 1st Quote Link to comment

+JaimeeG Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Hello all Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I shopped, studied, lazed around..it was nice! We were talking with C&M last night, and I was saying how the new cachers to this area have it made. There are soooooooo many caches here now. When we first started there were under 10 in this area!! The nearest ones to us now are in the Lodi/Stockton area I think...besides the few on my pages closer that I have no desire to go look for. I think I am going to pull a couple of my existing caches in the Modesto area and replace them elsewhere within Modesto/Ceres. They are getting a few hits now and then, but I think most everyone from around here has done them by now. Funny thing..I hit 200 and haven't had the urge to hunt a cache since! I noticed a couple of new ones last night that intrigued me a bit, and I still have one that I couldn't get that I need to go back for some SUNDAY I guess now I have no desire to fight with bugs, heat, mean plants or homeless people. I am sure I will get out and cache more often once the weather is nice and cool (COLD) and I have to bundle up to go outdoors! OR...if someone would take me back to Monterey, I would cache there for sure! Jaimee Before criticizing others, you should walk a mile in their shoes.

As Mike pointed out, Tommy Rose only got the 2nd greatest thrill. The report is that his plane hit turbulence which broke the tail off. It's unfortunate but note worthy is that second plane crash... It was from the same race and he was trying to land (after watching his friend die). The newspaper said he was having landing gear problems but he never reported the emergency on the radio. We watched him abort the first attempt to land and successfuly flew around (over the first planes parts) and it was his second approach that ditched him.

kurtuleas Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Sorry guys I flaked this weekend. I meant to put out 2-3 caches (I have them ready i just have to place them) Our Saturday game vs. Redwood took ALL day, (and we got our asses kicked) then my wife gave me the 3rd degree on Sunday saying that we need to spend "Family Time" together.

As for an answer to your question, I have no idea if it is there or not. We have looked for it and were unable to find it, but that does not mean it's gone considering the fact that it kept migrating further and further from its original placement each time it was found.

+Green Achers Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 I'd love to have the time to write (or understand) songs like this. [http://www.ziplo.com/grandpa.htm] But if I had that much time on my hands, I'd have be around Ron and Georges find numbers. BTW, Why did the find numbers get dropped when people log their visits? I really liked to see that number as it gave some value to their words. (In case they go shooting their mouth off and have a number like... mine, it wouldn't mean too much) Bill of Green Achers "A closed mouth gathers no feet!" Quote Link to comment
Ron Streeter Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 ...(or have you changed it to 'bob'?) Here's the link to Jeremy's note on the page changes. The dropping of the find count is supposed to make the page load faster. I use a dial-up connection that ususally runs at 36 to 40 Kbps and I've never had trouble with the page loading slowly! He also posted a poll asking how many people wanted the find count back. When I last checked most people wanted it back. http://opentopic.Groundspeak.com/0/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1750973553&f=2660963783&m=4150924335&r=4150924335#4150924335 I've never been lost. Fearsome confused sometimes, but never lost. [This message was edited by Ron Streeter on September 17, 2002 at 10:31 AM.] Quote Link to comment
+kusanagi Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 They seem to be back, I just hope it's not temporary. Quote Link to comment
Ron Streeter Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 ...go find a cache ! Ron I've never been lost. Fearsome confused sometimes, but never lost. Quote Link to comment
+JaimeeG Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 I wish I had the time to go find a cache! The only time I leave the house is when it's time to head to school. Hopefully, it will be a nice weekend and I will be able to get outside and do something fun! Jaimee Before criticizing others, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do the criticizing, you will have their shoes AND be a mile away! Quote Link to comment

Especially since he is a pilot and all... Black Box is a great challnge. I had to send George an email while I rest my head. At least he'll be able to see how I'm progressing and slap me awake if I'm missing the boat. How did fizzy do this?? Bill of Green Achers "A closed mouth gathers no feet!" Quote Link to comment
