+MountainMudbug Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Yes I DO want to climb this mountain. Yes, I DO want to get scratches all over. Yes, I KNOW its hot. Yes, I KNOW you're sweating. No, the mosquitos aren't biting ME. Yes, I KNOW you're hungry. Yes, I KNOW where we're going. No, we're NOT lost. Yes, I DID look at the map. No, there ISN'T a spider in your hair. Yes, I KNOW we're not even halfway back yet. No, this ISN'T the last cache we're ever searching for. Arghhh! Sometimes I wish I could clone myself. ----------------------------------------------------------- I sincerely feel that the facts are completely irrelevant in this case. Quote Link to comment

+cachew nut Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 If you can get AIDS from hypodermic needles, but not from mosquito bites, why not make hypodermic needles out of mosquito stingers or disinfect them with mosquito venom? I hate when somebody writes loose instead of lose. I hate when people say that a charter membership is thirty odd dollars, when thirty is an even number. I hate getting checks in the mail, why can't they mail straight to the bank? Quote Link to comment

umc Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 So define difficult. I spent 45minutes or so looking for a micro today and got lucky (it was part of the 'Travelin' Cache') The container was a 35mm film container sitting on the ground. To me that wasn't "difficult" but hard to find. Anyone can make a micro hard to find if not impossible if they want. So what makes a difficult cache other than being small and hard to find? Quote Link to comment
+brdad Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 By difficult I mean a little tougher to get to, longer walk, more agressive terrain. I've had trouble locating some of my finds so far, but have always succeeded. My son is better at locating the actual cache. But there are a lot of caches here 5 feet off a common trail. It probably does not help that I have know 80% of this state by heart due to the travelling I have done here over the years. I'm sure I'll find some tougher ones eventually, and I may feel a little different once I get a few no-finds. On my first day of school my parents dropped me off at the wrong nursery.

+Jamie Z Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Strange... that thread, with 53 replies has four on the second page, which jives with the typical cutoff for multi-page thread. This thread, however, has 57 replies, and is contained on a single page. Could the difference be that Jeremy started the thread, or might it be because he locked it? Jamie Quote Link to comment

That sounds like a quote from an old friend of mine that used to work tech. support in the IT dept., he was overflowing with sarcasm. He always had idiots calling in with the most moronic problems. He actually had to go to one person's desk just to plug in (the electrical plug, not the computer connection) the monitor and turn it on 'cause she (yes, it was a she) was too stupid to follow directions.

+Markwell Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 I think I'd take exception to that last one. If it weren't for that practice, I'd probably never get a travel bug. Sure it's not a challenge to find the cache, but if I can help a bug along, why not? I don't claim the cache as "found" on the subsequent visit, only a note indicating that I grabbed the bug.

TriCityGuy Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Having that one cache that you can't and really don't want to find at the top of your ever shortening 100 mile radius list. The micro cache that only one person in the last six months has claimed to find and a dozen others including myself convinced that it either is now underwater or sufficiently covered by stinging nettles that you'll never find it. At the same time resisting the urge to fake it to get the dang thing out of your face. Or I'm just to anal and can't get over it I think I'll just go drive that 42 miles this evening and find the next closest. Quote Link to comment
