+Mr. Vic Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 I was in the neighborhood this afternoon going for the Chili Today... cache and when I got home I noticed the Barbie cache posted. I could have made it a two-fer. Congrats Fizzy on the FTF. Pepper, looking forward to your new cache. Sounds like there is a lot of Blood, Sweat and Tears in it....hmm, sounds like a good name for a cache! -Mark. Will cache for food Quote Link to comment
CourtneyP Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Hoping to hit some caches tomorrow morning before lunch with a friend in Emeryville (94608)... anyone got any good suggestions for that area? I'm thinking about checking out NewStinky (pending on construction work), and possibly XIII (if I head towards Lafayette). Quote Link to comment

I have to attend some seminar tomorrow and I won't get off work until 3 and I can't go caching until after 4:30. If I was free tormorrow I would have hit it first thing. I know the area and I know how bad reception is. Mike Morris and I just spent a big chunk of the day going for one cache. We had to float a couple miles down the Stanislaus River to get to it, and then float a couple miles out. It was hot and the water felt good. But it took hours to do. I'm half tempted to go for Peppers cache now but I'm worn out. george Remember: Half the people you meet are below average.

+Pepper Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Well I had a good run while the children were in school, but my caching has all but come to a stand still. How sad is that DARN kids, gotta love um. July 19th is my DAY I will begin heavy caching again and I can hardly wait. Gosh it will be really HOT by then, oh well got AC in the car for between caches.

+georgeandmary Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=26935 For those of you who like Fizzy's Magic Trig, here is a cache that requires a little math a physics to figure out.

+fizzymagic Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I just posted a new cache, called "IQ Test." True to its name, it is a puzzle-and-math based cache. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=27121 I was inspired by George's recent Black Box. On the drive back from finding that one, I had this idea. Let me know what you think. I can't tell if it is really easy or really hard. I'm pretty sure it's one or the other! There's not a very big queue right now; it might get approved by tomorrow morning! [This message was edited by fizzymagic on June 28, 2002 at 10:29 PM.] Quote Link to comment

+georgeandmary Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 I don't konw what to say. I did not expect to be FTF with the amount of headstart these folk had. I slept in, took my time solving it, and then waited an hour for the wife and kids to get ready, and then drove another hour to get to the cache. So I didn't get it until after NOON. Then again.. I couldn't find Stars and Stripes... I really need to read some of these log pages before I get there. Pepper had pictures and I never knew. I was in the area, with the downed trees, but I couldn't get an acuracy any petter than 140 ft. I need to go back with a chainsaw. george Remember: Half the people you meet are below average.

+Team Dralasites Posted June 30, 2002 Author Share Posted June 30, 2002 Okay, we hid the picnic cache today (the cache containing all those items collected during the picnic): http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=27228 (may not be approved yet) We hope you like it... we may change the cache's location or rating based on people's suggestions after the cache has been visited a few times. Let us know what you think! Oh yeah, and in our eagerness to get out there today, we forgot to bring a copy of the geocaching instructions page. It would be great if one of the first visitors could put one in there for us. Thanks. Good luck! Colleen Dralasites: biological, not geological. Quote Link to comment

I'm talking about from the time it was submitted to the time it was found, probablly less than 3 hours. That's what surprised me, the approval time. Right now I'm waiting for Tomaski's caches to get approved. I might have to do some night caching. One is a one time, and the other is a cache that holds the cords to the one time. He submitted the second one first. See Central Valley Forum george Remember: Half the people you meet are below average. Quote Link to comment
