+Photom Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Does caching still exist?? I wouldn't know lately!! (I need to get out more) Yes! Caching is alive and well. And there's a really neat one just on the NW side of Modesto: Widget. If you haven't found it, put it on your "must do" list. This one Quote Link to comment

Relic_Hunter_Finder Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Question: Were at in CA. do you geocache? Quote Link to comment
+Green Achers Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 (edited) Question: Were at in CA. do you geocache? All over the world for some of the group... but CVC area includes Lodi, Stockton, Modesto, Patterson. Just to name a few Cities. Looks like you're near Redding which I'm not sure if they have an organized group (yet). The Sacramento group (RCGDS) is a very active group. You're always welcome to come down south and enjoy yourself! Welcome to Geocaching! Edited January 27, 2007 by Green Achers Quote Link to comment

Looks like you're near Redding which I'm not sure if they have an organized group (yet). <snipped> Hey, don't forget the NUTS! Well, it's actually N.U.T.S. (Northstate Unusual Treasure Seekers ). They have a Yahoo group at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nuts_/ Be careful if you venture this far South. Even though Redding is in the "Central Valley" of California... some think the Central Valley is within a mile or two of their homes....... but there are a lot of quality caches to find down this way.

+Green Achers Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Wonderful! So CVC can be as big (or small) as anyone imagines and no one will have a problem with territories/boundries/rights/etc. It's the perfect world! That means we can start a new group within CVC! Oh, boy. What do you think about "B.A.T.'s"?! Bay Area Transit's Or "BEFF"? Bill's Elect Friends and Family. Quote Link to comment

+jpd43 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Today, I took a day off (since I've been on vacation for almost two weeks and to do homework) and went up to maintain some of my caches (and recover one that was un-voluntarily archived). I made it within 7 miles of Quarter/nitch when the snow got too deep and the road was closed. My best recovery was to go find caches (one of which now has a highly desired Diabetes TB). I'm now home and working on the final details to one of the most unusual Geo-Gathering ever. Save 3/23/07 evening now and you'll get more information in the next couple days! Standby for details because everyone's going to want to attend this one. I had heard someplace that BOGA was treating for this event! What a great guy! Thanks Bill. My wife would also like to thank you, as would our 2 sons and the one's fiance and the other's girlfriend. By the way they all also wanted thank you for allowing their children in on the freebie as well so make that a total of 10. Again, our deepest thanks Bill as this is very generous.

Yes, just the other day we were out on !*$?%-% Road watching the cranes, swans, coots, ducks, etc, and we found a cache without our GPSr and without even trying! Of course, the fact that it was hanging in a DECIDUOUS bush kinda made it stick out like a sore thumb. LOL Seriously, you'd think the hider would realize that bush would be naked in winter! But then again, the logsheet didn't have the cache's name or the hider's name, so obviously he just pitches them out without too much thought....... Quote Link to comment

But there was one that was NOT sticking out like a bald bottle in a decidious tree - called "CREW you, 2." THIS EVIL hide took: a) 45 minutes (and I may be exaggerating on the LOW side), One phone call to a prior finder (who broke into histerical laughter), and c) TWO calls to the owner. AND THIS PERSON (HIDER) HAS THE GALL TO CLAIM INNOCENCE? That's just not right. Quote Link to comment

(The muggles are filling from one end and the cachers are filling from the other. Obviously, the early bird gets the worm.) This is going to be one fun night that you won't want to miss.

+amytincan Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hi everybdy, I haven't been here awhile I moved to Idaho. I have two caches at my mom's town (Ione). They were muggled shortly after I moved. One was a micro cache but it was in a very special container, and I don't think it can be replaced. A special cacher returned the log to me. The other was a regular cache and some of you may have tried it. I received an email from Nomex with the regular warnings. I was wondering if somebody could replace this for me? I have a travel bug I'd like placed in it that I could mail you. I haven't posted in a long time so I don't know if my email is available. Here's the cache http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LU...34-34120b23d082 Quote Link to comment

+Green Achers Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Here's some more reason to cache Wednesday... There's a professional bike tour (race?!) coming through CVC. Starting in Stockton at 11 AM and going to San Jose over Patterson Pass Road is stage 3 of the Amgen Tour of California. It's should make an interesting commute as well as that's against the commute direction - although they'll be a little early. ------ Also, The train is filling up well with Geocachers for the next CVC Geogathering, It's Murder Out There! If anyone's still thinking about going - or hasn't bought their tickets yet... better hurry up. The train leaving with or without you and we're going to have a great time. Quote Link to comment
