Marianna was a transvestite. Glad you asked.

In addition to Jeff and Jer's mention.........It was mentioned as the Word of the week at Bear Valley Middle School over the intercom for the student population. When I asked the Jr. Geogeek if the decription was a good one, he rolled his eyes...something about treasure being buried. I believe Dan-oh's daughter goes to this school as well. Dan-oh, you'll have to ask her what she though.

Hey, c'mon, that's a great image mapping job.

Yeah, that was pretty good - how about this?

Oboy, western scenery is the best. Wonder what it looks like from the other side?

Not to mention, there's probably something a bit more satisfying about using a paintbrush instead of photoshop...

Oh geez! Harmon, get your magic working & fix that picture, fast!

Be careful what you ask for ...

... 'cause there's more to it.

Hey Harmon,

Did you do this on purpose? Ya know what's in the crack? Iraq's in the crack! (Sure glad I'm not there!)

Hey DJ,

You don't have any "munitions" in the "region" do ya? (Oh, bad thought! Bad thought! )

There may be a mini-rebellion at BVMS. My daughter and junior Taskmaster J were complainin'' to no end. There is/was a geocaching club or after school event where "you dig up buried treasure and get to keep it all". If that wasn't enough the bug the juniors, they worried that the other kids wouldn't take caching serious enough.

Now where would my daughter think geocaching should be taken seriously?

BTW, I'm working on a themed cache based on J's creative writing assigment for school. Her mom sent me a copy and its worthy of its own cache. Its a good story and besides, it mentions me!

... when Flagman shouted, “There you are!” We were shocked. “I heard,” he said in a kind of secretive tone, “that according to TucsonThompsen, Dan-oh has hidden a cache in the Mississippi River.”

I know it's only a story, but I believe you would hide a cache in the river! In the middle, under a little island! Or maybe the DAK girls would beat you to it.....

Finally a photo of something besides someone's hinder....

January 7, 2006

Dan-oh, Your mention of your two juniors mentioning the other students wouldn't take geocaching seriously enough....that was Kevin and Melissa's concern as well.

Kevin did mention that half the kids weren't listening when geocaching was being decribed and that the kids that were listening got the glazed look over their eyes and were completely lost.

Mississippi River? Can't you do somethine a little more local? Maybe you could stick a cache under a riverboat in the Escondido Creek....now wouldn't that be a sight!!??? :unsure:

Has anyone noticed this feature in the latest version of Mapsource?

It puts your PQ into Google Earth and zooms in on the same area that your are viewing in Mapsource. Pretty Cool! RM

Photo was taken at noon yesterday from Ysidro Peak which is a little north of and above The Thimble Cache. Looking East-to-South. This area is just inside a spur of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.

Here is another cool thing that I just noticed about a week ago. Google toolbar has a spell checker on it that works in text boxes like the one I am typing in right now and the one for logging caches. It works great and it eliminates the need to cut and past my text into word for spell checking.

There's a Firefox plug-in that does the same thing. Interestingly enough, it doesn't recognize the word 'Firefox'.

Too bloody hard to establish a new category. After being put off for three years about setting up a locationless cache I had in mind now I still can't fit it in. F'get about it.

Check out a new cache in the North County:

Eternal Hills Cemetery to Calaveras Lake Multi

It is quite a long and challenging trek. (another example of a long (11 WP) multi that could have actual caches instead of WP's along the way). FNX even used existing caches from other people for a couple of the WP's!!! You can find about 5 caches along the way! Highly recommended especially if you have never done Calaveras Lake before!
