[+Let's Look Over Thayer]

It's true that I try to solve puzzles without hints, but "Quit Poking Me", "Green Eggs..", "Paul and Randy Excellent Adventure", "Bionicle: Lewa Nuva", "10 towers", "All Chemical Spiral", "Heaven's Above", and "PB PC Cache #6", are only a few of the ones I needed hints for. From what I've seen of "Snow White" so far and from what everyone says, it sounds like it'll fall into that group. I'm stubborn and enjoy a good challenge, but I'm not completely masochistic! But based on LLOT's recent log in "Monopolizing your time", he might be! My money is on him to get this "prize"....

Nuts, he was there when it was hidden.

Ah hah! There's the out I was looking for! I'm tainted even if I do manage to solve this stupid puzzle without a hint. I'm safe from the "prize"!

What with the ground-swell of interest in receiving a copy of my photo I've been thinking it over. Maybe everybody involved in the Snow White puzzle in any way should receive a copy whether they want one or not. That oughta learn y'.

He/she was putting nasty messages on the Inferno caches; they appear to be archived now. I won't quote what he/she said, but I can email a copy upon request. I just hope he/she keeps his/her comments to themselves and not do anything dumb to affect the rest of us.

My advice is to just leave it alone. If it is what I think it is, it is very personal and has nothing to do with anyone but the new cacher and PW. Best to just hope that it doesn't escalate any further. But nothing good could come to anyone who chooses to step into the middle of it...

WhoooooHooooo! Beer Time!

 

Truthfully, though, Paul did tell me that my first attempt at solving it was wrong -- which is kind of a hint -- and I did ask FlagMan for a hint back at the beginning, but I ended up figuring out that bit before his answer came back. Given this maybe I'm not beer-worthy after all.

 

Still, I'm pretty chuffed! That was one tough puzzle!

We have only found "Bashful and Sleepy!" Are we close to the final yet...just kidding! We should finish it in 2 years or so even with a hint or two..

I found the last of the seven dwarfs last weekend and I thought I was done, but it turns out there is an eighth dwarf. I found him in a cache today. His name is "Splashy". It looks to me as if he drank too much of Chuy's beer before being placed into that cache. (I'm very glad the log wasn't damp!... )

You still have plenty of time to get to her some new geocaching gear. My wife's birthday is on the 22nd, so I dodged that bullet. But my youngest son turns 16 on the 9th; so that bullet is going to get me. Now I need to work out a scheme to take he and his buddies off-roading and camping in the desert that weekend.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Aggressive Strategy Will Reduce Impact

Of Closing State Route 78 At Scissors Crossing

 

SAN DIEGO – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and contractor MCM Construction have struck a deal that will greatly reduce the number of days State Route 78 will be closed to construct safety upgrades on the San Felipe Creek Bridge near Scissors Crossing (about 12 miles east of Julian).

 

 

The plan calls for closing the highway in both directions at that location from Monday, March 12 through mid-afternoon on Friday, March 23. Barring delays due to weather, the bridge would be re-opened to traffic about six weeks earlier than specified in the original contract.

 

 

"As a result of fine tuning the complexities of this project, both sides have agreed on a plan that should work for most people," said Caltrans Deputy Director of Construction Armando Garcia. "In addition to maintaining a safe bridge, we get the construction finished within the requirements of federal environmental law, and the public gets its highway back in less than a dozen days." He added that the closure will avoid spring break for most schools and include just one weekend – normally the most traveled days of the week for this stretch of road.

Good news if your going to the CITO and CAMPOUT

Good to know especially for those coming in via the Banner Grade, but I usually go through Ramona to Montezuma Valley Rd to Borrego Springs Rd to 78. There are more caches along that route, and there is a good Mexican fast-food in Borrego .

[+GoBolts!]

WOW!

You guys are the best!

I bet we have the most supportive, tight knit group of cachers any where in the world!

 

Thanks you for all of the e-mail and calls!

 

I love you guys!

 

We are all doing well!

 

I think I will see some of you on Friday night!

 

Thanks again,

Dave, Sumrall and GoBolts! Mom!

I don't have a bookmark list of it, but Lake Murray is an excellent spot for a bicycle-based cache run.
