+TrailGators Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 What the entries show is that several of us really treasure the YMS cards and will go to great lengths to have a complete set of them. FlagMan must feel very pleased that his efforts are so appreciated by the devotees. Harmon you always have a way of cutting right to the chase! I couldn't agree with you more! Quote Link to comment

+TrailGators Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 The irony is that I considered "my method" of logging these cards to be considerate and hence polite. Rather than needlessly filling up the logbook with a zilllion non-cache find logs, it made more sense to me to simply log them on the website. When you put things in perspective, somebody got their undies in a bundle because a bunch of us didn't sign a little piece paper. Seems silly doesn't it! It's so amazingly silly isn't it when you state the facts...... Read-up: Geocaching Etiquette The three rules of geocaching, "Take something, Leave something and Write in the log book" This is retarded and I refuse to talk about it anymore.

+PassingWind Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Gecko Dad:....Back then, a good day was more than one cache found, with three caches a "power caching" accomplishment.... Interesting, found this story by TUNA describing a 12 cache day as a "marathon" back in 2000. Tuna's Geocaching Marathon PassingWind As discussed between Harmon and I this morning we've concluded that between Yrium's logs and Gecko Dad's photo essays we have a book on San Diego ready to be publish! But that's all our little secret isn't it. Quote Link to comment

+TrailGators Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Interesting story by Tuna. Now you can get 12 just by taking a short hike in MTRP. or going shopping in Santee !! Caches and finds have increased exponentially! I started about 3 years ago and had a tough time bagging 5-6 in a day because most of them involved pretty good hikes. I still remember when Rocket Man and I set a personal record of 12 finds in a day about a year and half ago in Temecula. We were pretty stoked and couldn't believe it! Anyhow, the biggest change I've noticed is the volume of urban caches. It won't be too long before you won't need a GPS because they'll be a cache under darn near every light post cover! I'm not knocking anything but I was pushing for a way to link everybody's favorite caches to generate a master list of all the coolest caches! I personally like those better! This is the thread to help push that idea along! Hint..hint! Unfortunately, it seems to have stalled out... Quote Link to comment
+GoBolts! Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 OK...OK! I did it....I stopped at Max's at O-dark 30 this morning. I took 3 of each...I gave one set to Duncan, I have a set for TM...and I have a set... There was a butt load of cards left. I did not sign the cache log...I think it is a waste of paper. Also I did not log it on the cache page...I think it interferes with peoples pocket queries. And it keeps people up till 4am reading all of the dang posts. However comma I do log them out of caches/logs that I have not found before. I also religiously post to this forum. However however comma or should that be?? However comma comma???? If Mr. Tom would like me to sign the log, sign the cache, post here and send an e-mail to PW then I will. PS Last night, TM and I went to the midnight showing of the new HP flick...we arrived home at 3am...I went to bed at 4:05... the alarm went off at 6am ...I hit snooze got out of bed at 6:15 and headed for Max's. You are probably lucky I put the cache back PPS If I have not pissed someone off with this post please let me know...I don't sleep well if haven't... Quote Link to comment

+splashman Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Quit bickering, children. I'll make sure to put plenty more out there when I get back in town... Good Grief!!! Please excuse us for not having a wireless computer in our back pocket, so that we can immediately post what cards we took. We were on our way to Redlands yesterday to do some caching, so we stopped by our favorite park, Max's, to get some cards specifically for the Flintstones since Bob works and can't get there. We knew they would be all gone if we didn't. Also took a card for Harmon & $kimmer, but Harmon didn't get the message in time and showed up anyhow. We don't think they qualify as 'couch cachers'. We got home too late last night to post anything, then we read this thread this morning, and can't quite believe what we read. I guess in this age of 'instant gratification' that the tekkies seem to require, we will forever remain the dinosaurs of the game. We're just happy hunting for tupperware in bushes, getting stickers in our socks, and enjoying the great outdoors with friends. We have an awesome bunch of cachers here in San Diego, maybe we should all just 'lighten up' a little. Remember, this is fun, that's why we do it. -Steve & Janie- Quote Link to comment
