DisQuoi Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Today, while visiting an NPS ranger station at Great Falls Park, Maryland, I asked to use the restroom. I got quite a chuckle from what I saw when I got there. I'm guessing that this is the trophy head from one of GammaBoo's ill-fated geocaches. Quote

Very good question ... one that I must answer lest the rumors begin. I was actually armed with a backpack full of fun tools (measuring wheel, GPS, sonic measurer, 100-ft measuring tape, digital camera, and flashlight ... all neccesary tools for the work I'm performing for the NPS).

+worldtraveler Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 I'm glad we can laugh at it; but, unfortunately, I suspect it speaks volumes regarding at least one of the park managers attitude about our beloved sport. Looks like geocache bashing/mocking is PC at this branch of the NPS. Our tax dollars at work... Worldtraveler Quote

+Eswau Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 Makes me wonder where they got the sticker. I would guess if they attempted to remove it from a cache they wouldn't be able to restick it. OTH, I don't really see them adding one to their order for a Geocaching hat and t-shirt. Quote

Thats what I was thinking. Maybe it was really placed there by a cacher who had his cache removed. Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon. Quote

Maybe it was really placed there by a cacher who had his cache removed. I was thinking the same. Also, it appears that the line on the sticker for the cache name is blank (although I can't tell for sure), which leads me to believe it was a new sticker. Someone should fill in a name on the sticker! Quote
The Artful Dodger Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 What would the ,er, terrain level difficulty be for this um, cache? Quote

DisQuoi Posted April 16, 2003 Author Posted April 16, 2003 Knowing the history of geocaches in Great Falls, MD, I'm fairly confident that this was taken from one of the few geocaches that were there prior to the "Great Shake-Up of 2002" in the Geocache/NPS community. Most likely, the sticker (it may have been a liminated card) came from one of Gammaboo's caches. I think it would be very funny to post the coordinates of the ranger station and require that geocachers request to use the bathroom to earn the find. Alas, my livlihood is somewhat connected to my reason for having founs this funniness and even I admit that this would be less than professional. Quote
+HartClimbs Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 That's a great picture!!! You think there's a similar commode in the Navicache compound? Nine out of ten people who change their minds are wrong the second time too. Quote
+HartClimbs Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 That's a great picture!!! I wonder if there's a similar commode in the N**cache compound? p.s. I didn't realize that some words (I'm guessing it's the N-word) were scanned for and posts reviewed for content. (so if a double post shows up, please ignore). Nine out of ten people who change their minds are wrong the second time too. Quote
+Desert_Warrior Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 Boy.... I have heard that some caches were filled with nothing but $h1T for trading trinkets, but don't you think this is going a bit too far??? Mike. Desert_Warrior (aka KD9KC). El Paso, Texas.

GammaBoo Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 Nope, it's not mine! I've been away from my home so much in the last year or so that I've only been to the Canal a couple of times. I haven't even been home enough in good weather to maintain the cache (or two) that I placed last year. This should make a fine virtual cache: But what would be the question and what would be the answer??? BTW: The "look and feel" of Groundspeak sure has changed! Hope to become active again--maybe in the fall. Gamma Boo Quote
+Divine Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 Was there this really neat logboog roll in a rack next to the cache? It's really simple to sign it and every log is unique! - From the shallow end of the gene pool. - Quote
