All those prizes that you won. It was all rigged just like the bush

Attitude? Drexotic? What? Well...he was a little late getting up Sunday morning .... we had to bumm hot water from someone else!!

 

 

 

Who ever this guy is I'm sure glad I didn't meet him at the CampOut. I thought there were some great Cachers there and they were all friendly. Did this guy even attend? He must be afraid to give his Caching name.

 

 

I'm hoping he had such a rotten time that he'll never come again. We don't need any party poopers or cry-babies.

I personally think the event was well planned and had tons of friendly people and it amazes me how each event gets better and better.

Did anybody read the San Diego Union this morning before they went caching???

Check out section B, front page. I don't know if the whole county gets the same 'B' page, but East County does. ANYWAY~~

Does anyone remember Radical Geezer???? He lives in Lakeside and is about to go on a little walk across the US to DC to gather signatures to protest the war in Iraq! He is selling everything he owns to do it!

We thought he looked familiar! His cache 'There's Gold in Them Thar Hills' is right next to his house.

You can probably get the article on line if it isn't in your Sunday paper.

Quite the quest.

I've been meaning to ask, what are the geocaching placement rules around here? It appears you can place them in parks like MTRP, Penasquitos and Anza Borrego, but not in Cuyamaca park. And what about County parks like Heise?

You need to check the geocaching rules and cache placement guidelines for each park online. SDRP requires a form be submitted and approved. They have a website that explains the process. Just google for it. I don't know what the rules are for Heise but I'm pretty sure you have to get approval from the rangers for that park as well. Cuyamaca caches must submitted to the rangers and approved.

On this subject...

 

Awhile back in this thread, there was some concern about the possibility that Sycamore Canyon Preserve would merge with MTRP and what this might mean for caching since Sycamore Canyon doesn't allow caches. Recently duganrm met a ranger at Sycamore Canyon and got a somewhat different story...

 

We talked a little bit about geocaching and I brought up the subject of caches in the preserve. It turns out that they are ok with caches as long as they are ON the trail. No bushwhacking at all to get them. It would probably also be better to discuss where you plan to place them with the rangers before placing any (ranger gave me his cell number if you want to call him).

The ranger also handed over an ammocan that was a cache that had been found too far off the trail. The full log can be found at duganrm's log.

[+TrailGators]

Most parks discourage bushwhacking and require that a cache be placed within 30 feet of the trail. I can't remember who it was, but some cacher recently got fined $180 for going off trail in MTRP! After I heard that I won't bushwhack for a cache anymore unless I know for a fact that the rangers don't care. It would be nice to have a list of all the parks/rules in the area!

Edited October 30, 2006 by TrailGators

[+rjbloom & co]

On looking up the geocaching rules for each park, I haven't found many parks with this listed. Like, for Cuyamaca, I can't find it. It's a state park, but I can't find it on the state park website either. I didn't know that caches are allowed in Cuyamaca. If so, how come there aren't more there?

Cuyamaca did not allow caches until very recently because of Chuck B's efforts. He talked about it in this thread awhile back. I know that you must apply to put a geocache in that park and also follow the guidelines that Chuck got the rangers to agree to. Cuyamaca still does not allow caches in certain parts of the park (recovering areas from the Cedar fire or sacred Indian burial grounds). I think this park would be a better place for virtuals (if GC still allowed them) because so much of this park is off-limits to traditional caches. Edited October 30, 2006 by TrailGators

[+Team Gecko]

Thanks to ongoing discussions with Park staff, with able assistance of Chuck B, it is now possible to place physical caches within Cuyamaca State Park. I am attaching a copy of the Park's original post-Cedar Fire policy that serves as the basis for current placement rules. These rules were slightly relaxed with respect to the requirement to periodically check on your cache - it is now once every six months vs every month.

 

Before hiding a cache, as an alternative to the written procedure described below, you can contact the Supervisory Park Ranger in person on weekdays at the Ranger's office (stone building adjacent to Paso Picacho Campground entrance), as I did last week. Bob Hillis, the new supervisor, is very personable and supportive of reestablishing responsible caching in the park. Per the policy, each cache container and location needs to be pre-approved by the park before a cache can be hidden. Photo documentation and personal contact information is to be provided at the time of your request.

 

Please be good citizens and stewards and abide by the guidelines with respect to proximity to established trails, container markings, etc.

 

I have kept Marko Ramius informed of the updated procedures and he will be applying the same criteria to future cache reviews.

Funny thing...yesterday, we were talking about Sycamore Canyon Preserve AND I read a log where TamariskBasher bashed some tamarisk on the way back from a cache. Today, I get the following e-mail from the "Friends of Penasquitos Preserve" mailing list about bashing tamarisk in SCP (coincidence??? ). Certainly a good cause...(and maybe an opportunity to bag the Sycamore Canyon multi if you haven't done it already.)

 

Hello Restoration Volunteers, with the cooler weather, it's time to gear up on our restoration projects! While we will be having the usual spate of projects in Penasquitos Canyon and Black Mtn. Parks, this coming Saturday, we're going to help out the Friends of Goodan Ranch. So, it's Sat., Nov. 4, from 9-1 (possibly finish earlier). We'll be cutting down and treating the highly invasive Tamarisk. It's a pretty easy area to work in, mostly flat ground. Bring water, a snack and gloves if you have them. We'll have extra gloves and tools there. Lots of hand work. Suitable for kids too.

 

Meet at the entrance to Goodan Ranch which is at the end of Sycamore Canyon Road. To find this, Take Poway Road east from I-15 to Garden Road, just before the former begins the climb up the grade to 67. Take a right on Garden Road and go all the way to the stop sign at Sycamore Canyon Road. Go right on Sycamore Canyon Road and go all the way to the parking lot for Goodan Ranch.

 

Call me if you have any questions! Mike Kelly, 853-342-8856.

I already knew I had one duplicate. I logged a cache again after it was adopted and relocated 200 feet or so. Isn't that legit? Well, even if it isn't, the first time I found it, it had been muggled and was an empty container lying in the open.

It's Not About the Numbers!

I like the forecast feature: "Based on your overall rate of 3.62 finds per day, you'll find number 4600 around 11/21/06 and the big 5000 around 3/12/07. However, over the past few months, your find rate has actually been 5.39 finds per day. Based on that, you'll find number 4600 around 11/14/06 and your 5000th around 1/27/07."

I don't (intentionally) do that, but I just noticed that I had a duplicate log! So I just deleted it! The funny thing is that the other application I use to check that didn't find it! Anyhow, I guess sometimes it's hard to remember if you've found a cache already or not! Kudos for this new website for finding my snafu!

 

Edit: I checked out the date feature and I have found 82% of my caches on the weekend. March is my main caching month. I've done my least amount of caching in May.

I never log a cache twice as a find. If a cache has moved and I go back and find it in its new place, I log it as a note. Others see nothing wrong with logging it as a new find. There is a reasonable argument to be made for either position. As far as I'm concerned, this is one of those cases where you can decide for yourself what rules you want to play by.

The date feature tells me that I need to get out more on Wednesdays!

I think the log a re-hid cache thing is a grey area...I am going to stick to the black and only log a cache once...I did log a locationless twice...it said it was cool to log a street with your first, middle and last names...and you were welcome to log it once for each...I think the signs were about 10 miles apart...

 

Most of my finds are on Monday and Friday's. Saturday and Sundays are my least cached days
