Uh . . . :lol: Not to change the subject, or anything . . .

 

But, I wonder who will retrieve the UDesignit Card . . . :mad:

 

Its location. :cry:

I might have to rescue it myself. We need someone who won't get eaten by that devil beast. It'll probably leave me alone -- you know, professional courtesy and all.... :D

send in Jeff when he gets here...the devil will pay homage to the master of devilish caching

Hey all!

 

Since Christmas is just around the corner, thought I would share some good deals on GPSr's. I just noticed today that the Magellan Roadmate 360 (car navigation system) is now $500 at Costco. The Magellan Explorist 400 is $350 with an instant rebate of $100 and a mail-in rebate of $50 = $200! If anyone is interested and does not have a membership, just e-mail me and I can work my magic!

 

Robyn :lol:

 

BTW, Costco's return policy is "100% Member satisfaction" or your money back!

Okay . . . ;)

 

;) ;) :blink:;)

Even Magellan would rather have a Garmin! :lol:

This is starting to sound like the debates we used to have about backpacking stoves 40 years ago - Svea or Primus? :blink: I've got both Garmin and Magellan products but prefer my old Meridian for the large screen, removable SD memory, and combined topographic/streets maps. They've been a great company to work with, too, and I can use the mapping software on an unlimited number of units (we have three Meridians). No biggy though. IMHO, both brands work well and get you to where you're going.

I was just joshing around! ;)

I'm sure both are comparable!

 

At least Magellan is named after somebody we've heard of....

Who the heck is Garmin?

Hey all you GeoCoin collectors, the San Diego geocoin supplies are dwindling. This week may be your last chance to buy at a reasonable price. If there are any San Diego cachers that still want to buy, you get first preference, but you gotta hurry!!!

But the snow is fun! :PNOT!

 

66 F there in SD. I hope you guys have your jackets on!

 

Edit: It's nice and warm here in my office looking out at the snow coming down. Maybe I just won't go home tonight. I could pull some insulation blankets off the Launch Vehicle and make a bed. :unsure:

I am wondering if anyone is familier with the requirements for the Forest Adventure Pass. Specifically, I am thinking about heading up to grab SCCC#1 and wondering if I need a pass to park. Thanks for the help.

You do not need it for the parking area for SCCC #1. We stopped in that parking lot a few times over the last couple weeks and there are no signs up.

 

From what others have told me, if they have restrooms nearby you need the pass. If you need to use a bush, it is free parking.

Thanks for the info. I've been wanting to check that cache out for a while.

Essentially you are parking alongside old Highway 80 for SCCC #1, and parking right where the old Boulder Oaks Store was located. Should be no problem unless you come at it from the north where the PCT crosses Kitchen Creek Road at the cattle-guard.

 

Here's a tip, never leave a vehicle parked at the Boulder Oaks location overnight. Many mornings over the years I've seen four flat tires on vehicles left there overnight. Back-country tribals, reclusives, or Mountain Empire High School pranksters I surmise. Of course it could also be an employee of the towing service.

 

I hope you enjoy the cache. It's our bland effort but comes with a great view. Unfortunately all the horse poop has decomposed into the soil and sprung up as spring flowers. What goes down must come up?

Read the cache description to learn how the horse poop got there. Carpenter from Hell hauled thirty pounds of fresh stuff on his and Khirla's back during our placement ride. It was a feature of SCCC #1 until the seasonal rains came.

 

There's a terrific cowboy poem about this very discussion.

 

Bless y'all for considering th' Sandy Creek Cowboy Caches.

We are going to Palm Springs and do some caching for three days.

Looks like it will be 70 there.

Perfect caching and Zooming around weather. :ph34r:

 

Any MUST DO caches we should try??

Intrusion request:

 

Tiff is nagging me about a either a virtual or a reverse cache where you have to log a site used in a Hollywood movie. Did about a 20 minute search and DNF on locating the name of it. Anyone have it?

 

Thanks in advance.

When I tell the Mrs I'm taking Ginger for a walk, she knows where I'm heading.

 

Okay, all I want for Xmas are some coords for some puzzles!

 

And you don't have to wrap 'em up! :D

 

Anyone know where Team Adelos lives? I'll supply the TP. :P

That's it!! I'm excluding all puzzle caches from my pocket queries now! :D

You better not pout or you're not going to get anything! :D

 

Speaking of getting something does anyone know where Santa can find a good deal on a hiking stick? I'd like one that you can screw your camera into like the one RM has!

I have a walking stick that can be used as a monopod. I got it at REI. The brand is "Tracks" and their web page is: www.trackspoles.com.

Thanks for the link LLOT!

Thanks for the link LLOT!

Actually, the REI one looks good too - has the tripod mount and weighs quite a bit less:

 

Tracks Sherlock Walking Staff vs REI Hiker Vibra Stop Staff

 

Price: $49.00 vs $57.00

Weight: 16.5 ounces vs 10.6 ounces

Shaft material Aluminum vs Aluminum

Maximum length 57.5 inches vs 57 inches

Minimum length 42.5 inches vs 27.5 inches

Item 471038 vs Item 703524

 

Hmm, that's something to mention to Santa (but not via that #$#$% puzzle cache!) :P

For 65 bucks this one also has a camera mount and it folds up to 19" long and weighs 10oz!

 

......but if I break the REI one in half I can it back to REI!
