+TrailGators Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I'm heading up to Reno on 395 with my two boys the last week of this month. Does anyone know where to get a list of waypoints that would be the best places to stop? Obviously, I would stop at geocaches along the way, but since I'll have my two boys (who think geocaching is a geeky hobby) there's no way they gonna tolerate me stopping to geocaching more than a handful of times. However, if I only stop at the BEST places and there happens to be a geocache..... So what I really need is a short list of the best waypoints along 395, if anyone knows what those are or where to get them please let me know! I would also be interest in knowing any "popular" caches that could be found on the way up the 395. I think I'll be heading up to Owens Valley and Mono Lake next week. Got MapSource TOPO USA today....sweet. Moving this up to this new page so it doesn't get overlooked! Quote Link to comment

Puzzle haters, you may now open your champagne bottles. That is all. --TT-- Good luck to you TT, don't forget to have fun in the Garden State. So does this mean that you will pick up all of your caches and take them to New Jersey? Matchmaker Pqmommy will now have to start a New Jersey dating game for you. I know a couple of NJ dames. Both of them can do that arm-pit-noise thang really well. They both say "Guys love it." Give that some thought, it's apparently a turn-on back there. Cohen's Deli in Pasaic is to die for, try the pastrami sandwich. Pasaic is the home of Joe Piscapo. Oddly enough that deli is plastered with photos of the Hackensack Kid rather than Joe Piscapo. However if you are going into Jersey City do wear full body armor. If you haven't spent time in the New York boroughs then there's a great book with hard-to-find information about "New York Neighborhoods." Of course the booth at Duffy Square is the place for night-of-performance bargain tickets. The best part is that you can drive down to Princeton and see Einstein's little frame house at 112 Mercer Street when he spent his last days working at the Institute for Advanced Study. That's where the old guy kept atomic-bomb secrets in his basement on the sly. There's lots of photos of Albert sitting or standing on that porch. So this amplifies the matter of of the next Geo-Picnic. It has to be scheduled so that you can attend before leaving San Diego. Best wishes for your future, Harmon and the other Sandy Creek Cowboys 112 Mercer Street, Princeton, New Jersey Quote Link to comment

+TucsonThompsen Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 The actual facility I'm going to is in Somerset, NJ. About 45 minutes from NY and an hour from Philly. Fairly close to Princeton, actually. I've been to NY and Philly before and honestly, I prefer Philly. The more I can avoid the Holland Tunnel, the happier I'll be. But this is a win-win for me. More pay + cheaper gas = more caches. I'm not sure what to do with my caches yet. I think I would like to fire bomb the Jersey crowd with the ones I've created here...ya know...announce my presence with authority kind of thing. But I'd hate to leave a large vacuum here as well. I may do with the ones here what I did with the one puzzle I created in NC. Find someone to take it over and adopt it (maybe change the name so I can take the names with me to NJ). That way at least you all can still find them, and the Jersey crowd won't pester you for hints. You know how pushy they can be. I'll think about it some more. HR in Jersey came out to our facility here in SD, and fired a bunch of people (rightly and happily so in my opinion). But what I didn't know was that they also were looking for folks for positions out there. They contacted me (and some others), interviewed me last Friday. Honestly, it's gonna be sad to leave, but as Don Coreleone was wont to do, they made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I'm gonna stop now before I get all teary-eyed. --TT-- Quote Link to comment

TrailGators, I don't know where to get a list of waypoints, but I have done a little geocaching near Lone Pine and Rock Creek. The Alabama Hills is a pretty area with lots of places for kids to explore. I like the cache "Mavericks Hideout" in the Alabama Hills. Also, there is a virtual cache North of there along 395 called "Earthquake Memorial" that is quick and easy. I like the website www.395.com and you might be able to find a link to waypoints there.

I for one will miss your puzzles, interesting hides, and fun stories. Remember, even those who retire return every once in awhile to spend some time with the poor working stiffs that were left behind. I do hope you come back to visit as I will have two puzzles coming out soon. Both with you in mind. Unfortunately, I doubt I will deploy them before you leave as much of my month will be spent in NJ and Boston, only returning slightly before you leave. I do hope that whatever GC event that is thrown for your going away wont be held until atleast the 27th. Quote Link to comment

I don't know the waypoints . . . just got home from a long day of Geocaching with Princess Toadstool . . . but one place you just have to stop is in the Alabama Hills west of Lonepine. It is BLM land and lots and lots of movies and old TV shows were filmed there. The Whitney Restaurant in town has a little guide for the Movie Road and other trails where you can walk to the scenes from old movies. The area is very, very cool. There is a campground in Lonepine called Portugee Joe's, another for free on BLM land called Tuttle Creek. There is rock-hopping and hiking and climbing -- and I bet Geocaching on the Public Lands -- that should make everybody happy. Quote Link to comment

Thursday, June 9, 2005 Last modified Wednesday, June 8, 2005 11:21 PM PDT Injured hiker airlifted to safety By: North County Times RAMONA ---- A military helicopter with assistance from a sheriff's department helicopter crew located and airlifted an injured hiker to safety, sheriff's Lt. Tim Curran said. Someone called 911 about 7:40 p.m. to report that a hiker had apparently broken his leg while in the Cedar Creek Falls area and needed help to get out, Curran said. A helicopter crew found the hiker but had to land and hike in to get to him, he said. A military helicopter had also been sent to the scene, and the sheriff's helicopter crew ended up helping the man to that helicopter about 9:28 p.m., Curran said. The man was taken to the Ramona Airport and then transported by local firefighters to a hospital for evaluation and treatment, he said. http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2005/06/09...05_576_8_05.prt Quote Link to comment

It won't be the same without you hot on our tails doing caches and getting closer and closer. With all of the new caches in NJ, I'm sure it won't be long before you blow by us in caches found.

"POP".... there goes another bottle of champagne! No slobbery teary eyes here for that. I already know way to much about DNA, chess puts me to sleep, deciphering pictograms brings about dizziness and nausea (wait... that might be the champagne), Seinfeld trivia is not my cup of tea, and the one time I went after one of his cache's... he had removed it for maintenance the day before (sigh). Good luck in NJ Jeff. At least you'll be within driving distance of Rhode Island, and you'll be able to clear an entire state. The last time I was in Philly it looked like this: What's that white stuff on the ground? And yes that guy is armed! Quote Link to comment

Yes! the long drought is over...I had 21 FTF's in my first 2 1/2 months and my last FTF was 15 April 2005 the day before I was married...My first FTF in 2 months. Well I guess the honeymoon is over.

+HelBob Duo Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 If it wasn't for stumbling over Jeff while out trying to find a cache, we would have given up on this obsession. We were about a quarter mile off, hiking back to our car, when we came across a suspicious-looking character. Hubby asked if he was caching. Yes. Well, can you help US? He set up our GPSr right and we've been caching ever since. I guess I'm going to have to get up early to finally supersize it. And then hit UCSD for the master. As far as the picnic/going away partygoes, Sundays are good. Otherwise, I'm off the 25th. Lets not have it after he leaves!

One of my favorites on the drive up is to hike to and around the Lava Falls near Little Lake/Coso Junction (you actually take Cinder Road off 395).

Best of luck in Joisey. Quote Link to comment
+HelBob Duo Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I've got a TB that wants to go to Joisey. The Blarney Stone is fine. Some of us old people have to get up early for work M-S so a Sat evening would be fine. Quote Link to comment

Thanks guys! I took several days at my Dad's cabin near Lake Arrowhead and went crazy. Funny, I saw TR Violin's sig at a cache in San Bernardino. So? It was the same morning! That man has got to get a cell phone! I won't tell you the story of my jeep getting stuck in some deep sand and having to shell out 200 clams to get it unstuck...uh...I guess I just did. I had it in such a bad spot I didn't think they could get it out, but they did. Hazards of caching I guess. So when's the big party? I'll need to get more champagne. D! Quote Link to comment
+HelBob Duo Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Champagne? Is that to send TT off? Or to celebrate? Or just because you love us so & want to share. I went out & grabbed another TT cache today after work. Gotta get them while we still can. (I don't think we'll ever get all of them. ) Quote Link to comment

+Dr. Boggis Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Anyone have their caching disturbed by the quake we've just had? Up near Anza, 5.6 magnitude, at 8.41 local time. We felt it quite nicely down here in Mission Bay, hope everyone's OK! Quote Link to comment
