+makaio Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 With all the talk of the memorial plaque, I thought I'd post these for folks who might be interested. I finally found two pics I took of the first cache (Original Stash) and the infamous can of beans when I found it in it's state of disrepair in Sept 2000. http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/19186_200.jpg http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/19186_300.jpg http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/19186_400.jpg Green circle shows the clump of tree stumps Red circle shows location of the cache ----- Matt K7MTO [This message was edited by makaio on August 05, 2003 at 03:53 PM.] Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 VERY cool! Thanks for posting those! Quote Link to comment
+TEAM 360 Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 First of all, a very big "Thank-You!" to the generous cachers who have been sending in PayPal donations for the Plaque. We have until Friday, August 8th to make any changes on the proof that we submitted to the foundry. After that, we will be no longer be taking PayPal donations, as the Plaque will have to be paid for then. We have to submit it this week, so the foundry has time for photoetching and casting, and be able to finish it for placing at the end of this month. We would like to once again thank everyone who has helped out, by donating through PayPal or by pledging to help at the site. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 That's now a historic can of beans. It should be bronzed. Quote Link to comment
Micqn Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Team 360, What does the plaquered say or have on it? Do you have a picture or a link? Thanks. Don't Drink And Park: Accidents Cause People. Quote Link to comment
+yumitori Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 While we're at it, I cannot seem to find the PayPal link. Could you re-post? Ron/yumitori --- Remember what the dormouse said... Quote Link to comment
+makaio Posted August 5, 2003 Author Share Posted August 5, 2003 Notice the difference in flora from when I found it (not long after the road crew visit) and when Moun10Bike visited last year... http://www.switchbacks.com/files/PhotosGeocaching/020420_010.jpg It's hard to tell in my low quality pics, but the group of stumps (near Moun10Bike's knee) are in the lower left of the photo. I resubmerged the can of beans (see the Cache History) back into the cache when I left and it was removed by DU when he pulled the bucket. I imagine they now reside in a landfill beneath tons of garbage or have been converted to natural gas by this time ----- Matt K7MTO Quote Link to comment
+makaio Posted August 5, 2003 Author Share Posted August 5, 2003 Found one more pic..added link to inital post. There's yet another pic but it appears to be corrupt. If I ever get it to load, I'llupload it also. ----- Matt K7MTO Quote Link to comment
