Tom,

 

Congratulations on your achievement. That Iron Mountain

Challenge has to be a demon. With the few waypoints I

have under my feet I can appreciate your effort to some

extent. Your report of seventeen miles surprised me as I

thought it was a mere eleven miles all-told.

 

At this point it seems to me that rearranging the order

of waypoints is not a good idea. Now that there are two

successful challengers all others should follow in their

tracks and, of course, endure the same pain.

 

I stick with my story that I am not a contender in any

way. Maybe I can get it done on a second day but for

there to be winners there must be non-winners and so I

intend to plod along as an observer that's in it for

the exercise, the experience, and the delightful Iron

Mountain trail system.

I'm fairly new to geocaching but am beyond hopelessly addicted. I noticed that a trail behind my house is next to barren of geocaches and I've been working on camo'ing 15-20 cache containers for a two mile trail loop. I was wondering if anybody knows how well does Gaff tape hold up for camo. I noticed that Ritz Crackers uses some kind of green/brown textured paint for some of his bikeNcache series and I was wondering if anybody knows what he uses? Also, if some of the caches are handicap accessible but the overall trail is only foot and bike friendly, should I rate it based on the length of the entire trail (2.5ish) or individually based on if some of the caches have nearby parking?

 

It's a trail loop smack dab in the middle of the 56 and I hope to publish it before mothers day, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Wow! a newbie with twenty containers ready to hide,

are you realted to Jodi of Jahoadi and John by any

chance? You will attract a following with that sort

of activity.

 

Gaffers tape and duct tape hold up well in the wild.

Of course duct tape with a cammo-pattern is usual

for Geocach hides. For truly remote trails make sure

to either hang the containers or place them under

some hand-sized rocks because coyote packs are sure

to sniff them out and chew the container unless well

placed.

 

Handicap-accessible hides are an interesting subject.

My sweet bride and I introduced one of her brothers,

Bob, to Geocaching in Ashland, Oregon. We went for

six or seven handicap-accesssible hides none of which

could be reached by Bob from his wheelchair. He did

enjoy the day with us but felt that Geocaching was

not for him. He owns a ramped and hand-controlled

van that enables him to use handicap-accessible docks

provided by Oregon for lake fishing.

 

There's a pretty good rating guide on Geocaching.com.

 

Terrain: Mostly about how steep and how far to a hide

and whether bouldering or bushwhacking is involved.

 

Difficulty: Mostly about accuracy of coordinates and

for remote trails no-nonsense hints. Geocachers that

specialize in rugged trails don't think much of hides

that take a lot of time to find or lie too far off-trail.

Rugged-trail hints should be very helpful to a finder.

Note that a Difficulty-5 means that special equipment

is needed.

 

Speaking for myself of course,

Harmon

Rats! from what I can deduce from BBC News and Google Earth

about the compound where Ben Laden was taken down and out,

there's no Geocache hides at all within twenty miles of the

site in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Too bad, I was hoping to plan

an event there as a follow-up to FlagMan's M*A*S*H shindig.

 

From what I can surmise from a description and a couple of

small photos posted on BBC News, I make my guess that the

fenced property located at N34 10.161, E73 14.552 is the

point of interest. No Google-Earth street view in Abbottabad,

darn it so take a look and make your own assessment.

 

How interesting it is that the compound is located within

spitting distance from Pakistan's Military training center.

Actually east of Santee Lakes within the open area bounded

Nearest hides are GC224A5 multi' and my GC222WW "Jodi

Favorable wind direction and good response put it down even

there's no Geocache hides at all within twenty miles of the

site in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Too bad, I was hoping to plan

an event there as a follow-up to FlagMan's M*A*S*H shindig.

 

From what I can surmise from a description and a couple of

small photos posted on BBC News, I make my guess that the

fenced property located at N34 10.161, E73 14.552 is the

point of interest. No Google-Earth street view in Abbottabad,

darn it so take a look and make your own assessment.

 

How interesting it is that the compound is located within

spitting distance from Pakistan's Military training center.

Hmm, maybe Janie and Jodi would head over as an advanced party

to place hides here and there to lend support to a Pakistani

Geocaching Event.

 

If the SEALs were still there maybe......

Can't resist a uniform, huh Jodi?

 

Maybe we could wear a Burka.........or one of those white Hazzmat suits we had for the

Glowstick Smackdown. Surely , we could go unoticed and start a power trail.........maybe the ET Highway...Pakistan version.

You know how cachers are, they go anywhere!!

Splashette

W-e-l-l ... you've got the GZ (pardon the expression) coordinates.

On the other hand I have the impression that cornsilk blondes are

reather uncommon in Pakistan. ... come t' think of it, cornsilk

blondes are rather uncommon in the redneck tri-cities as well.

 

I can see it now ... "Does this burka make my butt look big?"

 

Kiss-kiss,

Harmon

 

Harmon, where do you get the 'cornsilk' stuff.............you always told me my hair looked like a haystack! (especially when caching)!!

You crack me up....."Does this burka make my butt look big".......I just have to laugh! That will never die.............

Still...........I bet there are lots of dirt roads in Pakistan that are ripe for a power trail.........we could call it, The Burka Boogie.........

I'll have to confer with Jodi...........

Dear DTBMMBLB,

 

Did I ever mention to you that DTCMMBLB was and still is my favorite

moment of Geocaching? That moment was so full of joy and laughter

that I know for certain that you secretly share my delight that it was

photographed. How wonderful it is that DTCMMBLB has become so

admired that other vine-ripened ladies have reenacted the incident ...

not to name any names of course.

 

Hmm, that reminds me ... let me know what Jodi thinks of the Burka

Boogie.

 

On another topic, haystack was always after you stuck your lovely head

into a Sumac bush while looking for a Bison tube. Cornsilk was when

beeth thtuck their bodieth into your hair 'cauthe they couldn't rethitht.

 

OceanHugger,

 

You bring up a good point about Geocaching in Pakistan. Fortunately I

have the answer for avoiding IEDs ... same as avoiding snakes.

 

Always hike with a partner and do make sure that your partner is ahead

of you when on the trail or when bushwhacking or bouldering. That way

you'll be able to run for help if your partner has an encounter.

 

No charge,

Harmon

If a cache is ever placed at those coordinates, I'll be sure to take you along and to let the caching veteran lead ahead if the newbie.

Harmon you will just never learn. It's ok to pester vine- ripened- thick- skinned- elder San Diego Geocaching Gals, but can't you just go easy on the young sensitive ladies for once? Heck..she might have even hidden easy caches for you to find. Now you're stuck with trudging up slippery steep slopes.....that reminds me....I have a Harmon trail to plan....

Another Harmon-trail for me to shed blood

on huh? Can't wait; in fact, bought myself

a new stock of super-padded hiking socks

to replace the one's I've shredded by

hiking existing Harmon-trails.

 

Hmm, "... pester vine-ripened thick-skinned
