I have sad news to report - the loss of another geodog. Bubba, BlondeHiLite's beloved Rottweiler had a tragic accident and passed away Friday. I had the pleasure of hiking with him, as did Ginger! and Mocha!; for a big boy, he had a mellow but confident disposition.

 

Rest in peace Bubba.

Hey Cachers! Tired of Skirt-lifters, but you still want the smiley? Well weep no more, bucko! The Ronco Cachematic™ is just what you've been looking for! Now while you can step into Walmart for your beer, bait and duct tape, the GPS guided Cachematic™ will automatically search out the cache, pop up that lampskirt, sign the log and return to your vehicle!

Woo Hoo! No more parking on the shoulder!

Wooohooo! I've been watching the work so I'm glad to see that it finally open. It is much needed.

 

As good as it is, though, it won't completely solve the parking problem. On busy days, there will still be people parked along the road...

 

To be sure of getting a parking place on a Saturday or Sunday, either come early or come late.

Hi everyone!

 

I received a couple emails that showed concern, so I thought I would post this update for everyone.

 

I hope everyone is doing great. It has been a long time since I have been on the forum and my caching has been very minimal. Some of you have noticed that almost all of my caches were recently disabled. The caches are still in place, but some have DNF's. I would assume the DNF's are missing but I will check still check them. I will be archiving them as I re-collect my caches. Anyone that has hiked with me knows it will be slow going, so if you really need to still log a find -- you may want to consider sooner rather than later..

 

I am re-organizing. I need to buckle down on the exercise and getting back into wonderful game of caching. If you know me, then you know who much I love being out on the trail and jeepin too! I have been so busy with life that I neglect to get out.

 

Just wanted to let everyone know that everything is good and not to worry about Team Adelos. I am sure that someday we will torment everyone again.

So glad to hear that everything is OK, Paul. I was just about to e-mail you myself when I spotted this post. We sure have missed you lately!

 

I hope you'll reconsider archiving those puzzles - at least the ones that haven't been DNF'd. Some of us put a lot of work into solving them, and have just never gotten down your way to find them. I bet if you put a call out on the forums for someone to help you check on them, you'd get a bunch of volunteers!

I am planning on collecting most of them. If I find caches in great shap, those will probably stay -- no promises though. I have a bunch of ideas, but I want to do some serious clean up/maintenance before I put anymore out there.

Hey Paul!

Like everyone else, I was really concerned when I saw all the disabled caches, and I'm happy to hear everything is okay. Like Linda suggested, we'd be happy to volunteer to help maintain your caches. Some of them are true classics and we'd hate to see them go, including the ones we've already found. At least you're able to give folks the opportunity to find them before you pick them up

 

I guess we'll put your caches at the top of the list of ones to find, and if you need any help with cache maintenance, please let us know!

 

"I have a bunch of ideas" is a really scary thought!!! j/k

Recently, I was minding my own business when a friend and fellow geocacher uttered these shocking words:

 

"Barrie, you can't drive a 4WD!"

 

Hmmm, isn't this how a recent SMACKDOWN Event came about? Didn't it have something to do with a certain geocacher telling me I couldn't do Szar Foyo? (heavy sigh)

 

I'm not naming any names here or nuthin like that ... but the culprit is pictured in the photo below and is NOT wearing a pink hat.

 

 

Nothing was said at the time about where, how, or under what conditions I wouldn't be able to drive a 4WD, so I think it might be time to prove someone wrong again.

Barrie dear,

 

You might mention to that doubting-James guy that I can submit

photographic evidence that shows you driving a tricked-out 4WD

vehicle over very rough terrain.

 

So what sort of 4WD photo would you like to be seen in?

p.s. So you're saying that you've never, ever been squeezed while

driving. Is that really true?

Hey, you got a 4WD I can borrow for this latest challenge, Mister Skillet? Hmph, can you believe that silly guy is doubting my abilities AGAIN? Unbelievable, I say!

Ok,So we are driving in her car Sunday afternoon and she runs over what possibly was a small piece of rubber in the road and it hits her undercarriage...What's that? she shreaks looking in the rear view mirror as she starts to slow down on the hightway..It's nothing...keep going Barrie and remembering the times we have bottomed out and heard rocks hit the bottom of our Jeep I utter..."You never could drive a 4WD". She becomes unglued and begins muttering something about how she can not believe I would say she couldn't do something...I suggested that she buy a Rubicon etc but she didn't go for that...I see...now she wants to borrow someone else's 4wd to prove that she can handle it...hmmm

 

Close, but wrong ... she wants to prove you are wrong AGAIN, my dear friend.

Hmmm, isn't this how a recent SMACKDOWN Event came about? Didn't it have something to do with a certain geocacher telling me I couldn't do Szar Foyo? (heavy sigh)

 

I'm not naming any names here or nuthin like that ... but the culprit is pictured in the photo below and is NOT wearing a pink hat.

 

 

Nothing was said at the time about where, how, or under what conditions I wouldn't be able to drive a 4WD, so I think it might be time to prove someone wrong again.

You might mention to that doubting-James guy that I can submit

photographic evidence that shows you driving a tricked-out 4WD

vehicle over very rough terrain.

 

So what sort of 4WD photo would you like to be seen in?

p.s. So you're saying that you've never, ever been squeezed while

driving. Is that really true?

 

Harmon, ol' pal ...

 

I forgot about those pictures you took! Woah, I must be getting fergitful. Hmmm, I reckon any picture would be fine ... you are such a fine photographer with a keen eye for the perfect shot.

Thanks Chuck and Splashete! I checked out The Squeeze ... but it appears to be disabled. Hmmm, it looks like no one has been to this cache in 2+ years due to the rules at ABSP. Hmmm, I wonder if the hide might possibly still be there.

 

By the way ... I can't help but wonder if there are others out there who have been told (by said un-named individual) that they too cannot do <fill in the blank>. Or am "I" the only one being picked on, and told what I can't do! I read all of the logs on the SQUEEZE hide, and lo and behold ... no "FOUND IT" log written by said un-named individual. Ain't that interesting?

 

First things first, tho ... I need to arrange a 4WD cache outing with some geo-buddies who believe in me. Perhaps someone who loves PUD cake or CINNAMON ROLLS might be willing to give me a lesson in 4WD, I dunno. Let it be known that I am a professional driver with a Class B license, air brake and passenger endorsements. Um, I also passed a first aid test . If I can drive a bus load of middle and high school teenagers with minimum difficulty ... do ya think I can manage a 4WD? Hmmm.

 

After the Original Smackdown Team conquered a certain challenge re:Szar Foyo at night ... said un-named individual wasn't quite the same afterwards. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who noticed. Then ANOTHER group showed him up too! Poor guy. Hmmm, he did ask for it, tho, didn't he? Yep ... he sure did.

She summoned 11 others just to prove you wrong concerning Szar Foyo ... just think what she'll be liable to do on a second challenge.

is far less likely to bang up a perfectly good schoolbus as opposed

to squeezing it. ... the schoolbus that is.

got, just another picture of a 4WD vehicle in the Squeeze. Shoot,

if y' want a picture of your 4WD vehicle in the Squeeze ... just let

I greatly appreciate your sage wisdom, Harmon ... so much so, that I decided I needed to think this whole thing over a bit more. It is true that baking PUD cakes is far less likely to cause body damage to vehicles - point taken. I agree with you. Where I tend to disagree, my dear friend, is the point you made re: "what have y' got to show for it?" Hmmm. It wouldn't be a picture that I'm after, that's for sure. No, it's something much bigger than that. I've struggled with self doubt most of my life. I'm not sure why, or how, but geocaching has played a huge role in changing the way I look at myself in terms of skills and abilities. I doubt myself far less now than I did just a few years ago. I want to try new things. My fearful tendencies are no longer at the forefront of my thoughts. I'm much more open to experiencing adventure now. So, you see ... I've been working at putting self doubt behind me; the last thing I need is for one of my friends to suggest I'm not capable of doing something. Ten years ago, I probably would have said to myself, "Yeah, he's right ... I probably can't drive a 4WD." But now? I immediately asked him if he was kidding ... he wasn't.

 

I've been asked by a few of my closest friends, "Just because he said that doesn't mean you have to prove him wrong, does it?" Well, I think if I didn't ... that self doubting would always be in the back of my mind, and I just can't allow that to happen. I may need to place a cache titled something like: "Open Mouth Insert Foot" or something along those lines. Any suggestions?
