Please feel free to yell at me.

You don't want to tell my Wife that ;-p Wait, I'm the only one she yells at. Oh, and she wants to know, "Do we have to bring the kids?" Hehee! Strings was the one place we used to go and really enjoyed, pre-kids, that is. Of course we'll bring the whole troop, including JWR (5 total).

Will probably happen tomorrow. I think I can find a few minutes to get the coordinates so I will do that. They are supposed to call me today to confirm my reservation so lets hope it works out.

Kids? Yea, I guess you can bring them too.

If there is something to B17ch about I'll make sure you're the first to know.

For those of you playing the Tag game, the cache has been placed. I just posted the new coordinates on the page. Be sure to read my entire post for the most luck when hunting!

Enjoy!

If you receive this magazine look on page 14 of the March/

April 2003 issue for the article "Geocaching Catches On".

It's pretty good..except for the mention of caches sometimes being buried (which they are...even though the "rules" don't "allow" that. (Should those buried ones be archived?)

The Via magazine web site doesn't appear to have the story online, but maybe I just didn't search long enough.

Enjoy!

I wonder how many geocachers you two have induced to quit after viewing your continual squabbles.

Take it to email, OK? The rest of the world isn't particularly interested.

P.S. See everyone Saturday night...and lets all play nice.

....he STARTED it!

Actually, I think you're right Fizzy...the take it to email part anyway. I doubt any cacher would be influenced to stop caching because of the differences of two others. They might stop reading the forums though.

I've been trying to back off any confrontations with Georgie Porgie, but he seems to want to stir the pot now and again. Seems like it often happens right before a geo-event..though I could be wrong.

It's working great. There seem to be a lot of people using it, like Bill of Green Achers, for example.

I've added a page that shows you all the caches in your query with travel bugs, and I will soon be adding one that shows all the not-yet-found caches in your query for those who pursue FTFs.

The unique feature I have found I like the best is "corrected coordinates." When a cache is not at the posted coordinates (puzzle caches, multis, etc.) you can just enter the real coordiates and my stuff automatically changes them from that point on. So now I can solve a puzzle cache, enter the true coordinates, and never have to worry about it again. Which is nice when you don't know when you'll be in the neighborhood to do the cache!

Sorry if I am behind on things a bit. Between school and jury duty this week has gotten to be a bit busy.

February 26, 2003

I still read the forums, regardless of the petty infighting. I also check in to read the consistant whining about this or that or the other thing.

On email attacks I have a different opinion though,. I don't mind a complaint, or even constructive criticism, but some folk have come out of left field with their own "issues" that would be better kept to themselves. I follow a "don't like it, don't hunt it" frame of mind myself. If I think a cache is unsafe or in bad taste I won't or don't hunt it.

*** On a different note ..... 70-80 Travel Bugs are soon to start their trip West, I still wonder where these bugs are going to go after the race, considering the lack of regular caches capable of handling them. I personally have been trying to place larger than log/only micros in anticipation of this.

If I'm not back soon.... just wait longer.

Consistent whining?? Sure, folks gripe and moan now and again about stuff, but, for the most part, I don't see the forum here as "consistent whining." There was a pretty tightknit group of cachers here in the valley, and many of us used this forum as a sounding board for ideas, feedback, etc.

As for email, what others do in private should really be of no concern to anyone else. If George and Ron decide to email privately, that is totally up to them and not at the discretion of anyone else. I, for one, think a private email conversation is usually more productive than a conversation where others get to jump in with their thoughts. The matter started between two people, and maybe that is where it should stay. Others get pulled in, or decide to join in voluntarily, and it just gets uglier and uglier.

I'm heading south from San Jose to Santa Barbara in a couple of weeks. No one on the Bay Area board has responded to my plea for good cache suggesteions along 101 S and in S.B. Any Central Valley folks with good ideas? I probably won't have time for major hikes, but some stuff at scenic stops, cliff/beach, etc. would work.

1.1k · February 26, 2003

Is that as far south as you are going?? I know of some good caches in Ventura, but that's another 20-30 miles south of SB. When we visited Ventura recently, I had looked at SB caches but we never made it up there. Seems there are quite a few that don't have a high terrain difficulty. I remember specifically one about frogs..might have been a virtual though.

I try not to whine. I actually enjoy talking to people in the forum. It gets rather interesting sometimes.

As for the entire G&R thing. I have already concluded that it is done out of enjoyment from both parties. If someone actually wanted to stop then it would have stopped by now. No one started it first, it just started. It's ok though because I completly understand.

If there is something to B17ch about I'll make sure you're the first to know.

February 28, 2003

Again this leads me conclude that this is all a game. Some things aren't written in the rules (like whining and complaining and fighting and complementing on good caches) but it is all part of the game. Now sit back and enjoy! Just make sure to wear your helmet.

If there is something to B17ch about I'll make sure you're the first to know.

...there's enjoyment and then there's enjoyment!

The squabbling that George and I have done requires a lot of energy...energy that can be better expended in other ways.

I've started a dialogue with George, he has responded and we'll be working something out, but won't be able to do so before the geo-event.

That's OK, there will be other things to celebrate that night....geocaching !

Hope to see you there! I really hope we have enough room. I don't mind everyone coming and I don't think the manager of Strings does either. I think we have about 45 people showing up

So this better be good!

What can I say.... Thanks Fallen for a great get together.

I hope the waitors were able to sort the checks and you didn't get stuck.

It was nice meeting, Fallen, Uncle Eugene, Death On Wings, Duelly, Macfamily6, George & Mary, DCline, and so many others I can't name and others I see all the time too.

It was a packed house for sure. There were folks in the spare room too.

**** George thanks for the puzzle ... You Know Who?, solved it, drove by on the way home, got within .37 miles from one side and 350' from the other... but.... babysitter had to get home etc. So do I get a first to solve award?

I'll have to hunt it another day.

Hypocrisy = claiming to be "open minded" yet demonstrating judgementalism and intolerance.

March 2, 2003

I've been mullin' over a name change, but wasn't sure if I wanted to go through the ordeal and then educate folks about it... Then there is the whole hassle of coming up with a clever and catchy nickname.

Well, Strings was enjoyable and all, to a point ;-p A bit over-crowded, a bit too hot, a bit too loud, a bit over-tired 4.75-year old, 2.5 year old still working out the mechanics of a potty without adult supervision, and a Momma who has been overworked all day (I'd been trying to clean out the study, which is really just our all-purpose "junk room" and blaming her for all the stuff in there that was my fault for letting it collect elsewhere and then she'd put it in neat piles where I could never find anything).... let's just say it reminded me of our "elmo-fried" phrase that we came up with some time back. Actually, I think it had a four-letter word at the beggining of the phrase, but, well, one shouldn't write something one would regret other family members reading ;-p

I think originally it came from our mutual dislike of this satanic.. I mean, evil.., I mean, battery operated Elmo "doll" that some oh-so-nice person gave us. Anywho, I don't even recall the whole story or whatever, but I'm some it's 'blogged somewhere at elmo-fried, but perhaps not.

To make a short story long: jroysdon -> elmo-fried!

Nothing counts until you sign the log. I'm glad you solved it though, I suspect, someone will get it tonight though.

I'm a new cacher BUT!! I'm thinking of not going on with it. I was real excited at first but after reading this forum a few times I dont know if I want to continue. The Ron and George thing. I can see good points on both sides but it should be left for private email.. NOW it looks like This MR Toad is trying to start something with Jaimee G. with his remarks in his signature foot notes. I think Jaimee G. has just been speaking her mind and I have not seen anything negitive from her. The few caches that I have found were fun and some not. (I have not logged them yet) In my Oppinion these little film canisters that are everywhere are pretty lame. Thats just my oppinion!!

Evil

Everyone is entitled to have one. I personally enjoy the variety and creativity of the caches we find. There have been some really creative 35 film canister hides and some really lame ones. The same goes for full sized caches. Not all of them are going to be great. Since the cache size is given on the cache page, it's relatively easy to avoid micro caches if you don't care for them. Figure out the kind you enjoy finding, and get outside and find them. That's what it's all about.

We had a great time the Strings event. Thanks again to Fallen and if I remember right, JaimeeG who originally got the dinner idea going with Olive Garden for the 1 year anniversary. As a newbie it was nice to be included. The crew from Camelot enjoyed meeting so many others and learning some tips for better Geocaching.

My first placement Is Your GPSr Off Target is gone After reading the post by Marky I went to check it. So here is my question...I archived the cache because it is gone and don't want to rehide in the same spot, but after doing that I saw the temporary disable button. If I want to change the coordinates and rehide will I be able to bring this back from the archives?

David,

I don't think you can un-archive a cache, but I could be wrong. I have only used the "temporarily disable" function on caches that were missing. Once I decided if I wanted to replace them, I took it from there.

The only way to get something un-archived is to e-mail Jeremy or one of the approvers. Try the approver of the cache listed at the bottom of the cache page.
