+Webfoot Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Gallant creates signature items, which are hand crafted and individually numbered, that are prized by all local cachers. Goofus leaves a individual monkey from a Barrel full of Monkeys game as his signature item. When he runs out, he returns to caches he's been to and takes his signature item to use again.

+CYBret Posted September 19, 2003 Author Share Posted September 19, 2003 While lost in the woods, Gallant turns to the emergency channel on his GMRS radio to call for help, remains calm, slowly eats from his emergency rations and occasionally blows his whistle to alert searchers of his position. Goofus finds a bunch of wood and uses matches he was going to place in a cache to build a signal fire that spells out S.O.S. because he saw it once on Gilligan's Island. The Timbertoes family is never seen again. [This message was edited by CYBret on September 19, 2003 at 05:00 AM.] Quote Link to comment

InkyCat Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Gallant brings his buddy Goofus along to help with readings and logistics in placing Gallant's first cache. Goofus is sure to log it as a "FIND" ! Quote Link to comment
mckee Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Gallant sees a choice item show up at a nearby cache and respects the fact that he has already been to that cache, therefore won't swoop in and grab the item. Gallant's wife Goofus doesn't take NO for an answer and hounds Gallant until he goes and swaps for the choice item. Gallant is whipped, for sure. -------------------- Searching for the lost, Geocache....... Quote Link to comment

Keystone Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Gallant earns the trust of the senior cache approver, who lives in Georgia, by e-mailing a scanned copy of his cache permit from the Pennsylvania State Parks office. He provides the coordinates for each stage of his multicaches and stays at least 150 feet away from any railroad tracks. Goofus became the resident cache approver for Pennsylvania.

+Scoobie10 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 While caching, Gallant ducks behind a tree as a bus of senior citizens passes by so he won't bring attention to the cache location. Upon seeing the bus of elderely people, Goofus promptly sets down his Pabst Blue Ribbon, turns away from the bus, drops his pants and yells "The moon's out early today folks!" <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Scoobie A day without sunshine is like.....NIGHT!

+Scoobie10 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Upon being approached by a policeman wondering what he's doing, Gallant educates the officer about Geocaching and easily explains the activity. Upon seeing the policeman and knowing about his warrent, Goofus takes off running through the woods and the cop gives chase. Three hours later, the chase ends at a Shoney's where Goofus is holding the night cook hostage and we're all watching the "LIVE" coverage on FOX News.
