+Snoogans Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Hi Everyone, I'm a displaced local livin in Houston. Notice my "from" line. I'm making my yearly migration home for just over a month (5 1/2 week vac. every year ) and want to get the lay of the land from a geocaching standpoint. I will be spending some time in Mammoth Lakes and plan to leave about 6 to 8 caches not including virts, for my family members to break the ice on, and for the geocaching community in general. Most of my caches there will have 5 star terrain. So as caches go: What's fun-easy-hard-cool-impossible-not worth a trip-MUST DO-etc....????????? Who are the cache approvers that I need to convince to approve my caches because I do have and can prove local support? Where is a cool spot that really needs a nice cache? Where have you had trouble, or gotten denied cache approval? Thanks, Be there in July. Sngans The greatest labor saving invention of today is tomorrow.... Quote Link to comment

Duuuuuuuude! From one armpit to another! At least you're closer than I am to the Sierras........ You gotta check out Vermillion Valley Resort to get outta that pit on the weekend. It's on Lake Thomas Edison. Check out their website. I have a feeling that there will be a bunch of caches there this summer. The new owner listed geocaching on their list of activities. If you are into remote locations, then you will be thanking me for this tip later. If I'm there (mid to late July) you will notice my avatar in several places on my red GeoJetta with Texas plates.

+georgeandmary Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Hey Fresno folk, I was interviewed for a geocaching article in the Fresno Bee. It was about a week ago and the reporter said he'd mail me the article. I'd just like a heads up from the fresno locals so I can look for the article online. george Wanna go for a ride?
