+NevaP Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Lead upward to the peaks; and there I feel, pushing my ribs apart, The wide sky entering my heart. "Roads" Bryon Herbert Reece I just ran across this today, while googling up information about this Appalachian Mountain poet. I have to admit I had never heard of him until I did a Waymark for a Georgia Historical Marker I found last week. Quote Link to comment

+BuckeyeClan Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Here's a slight modification of Walt Whitman's O Captain! My Captain! (My deepest and most sincere apologies to Mr. Whitman!) Oh Cachers! My Cachers! Our fearsome trek is done. Our feet have weathered every rock, the prize will soon be won! The cache is near, never fear! The GPS is leading. While follow I the steady arrow to the cache’s bearing. But Oh heart! heart! heart! Oh, the sudden sense of dread! For on the page, it says the cache Is a micro quite well hid! Oh Cachers! My Cachers! Rise up and search things well! Rise up, and search the hollow tree! And search the one that fell! Search the rocks and rotting stumps; Search ev’ry place worth hiding! Search under logs, and sticks, and leaves; Search that poison ivy! Here Cachers! Dear partners! An aspirin for your head. It is some dream that on this quest Our batt’ries have gone dead! My Cachers do not answer, their lips are pale and still. My partners do not hear my voice; they’ve lost their caching will. Our trip is over; we’re safe and sound, back in our cachemobile. We’ll head on home to write a tome about our grave ordeal. Exalt you others! And log your smileys! But I am quite bereft, For the one we couldn’t find— The cache we DNF’d!

troutflies Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) Just for fun, a few fishing related quotes, twisted a bit to apply to geocaching... "Many men go caching all of their lives without knowing that it is not caches they are after." - Henry David Thoreau "Do not tell cache stories where the people know you; but particularly, don’t tell them where they know the caches." - Mark Twain ...and perhaps my favorite... "My biggest worry is that my wife (when I’m dead) will sell my caching gear for what I said I paid for it." - Koos Brandt TroutFlies Edited February 16, 2007 by troutflies Quote Link to comment

+ThePachecos Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I think of this a lot when I am caching. Especially the Travel Bugs. Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes That call me on and on across the universe Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe Nothing's gonna change my world - The Beatles Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) When the map and the terrain disagree, believe the terrain. (When the GPS says over here, but the pile of sticks is over there, believe the pile of sticks.) Edited November 23, 2008 by Viajero Perdido Quote Link to comment
