Broncoholics Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 I am curious to find out if there are any geocachers out there who are famous. BruceS and The Feros Family have both found one of our caches and we consider them "famous". LOL We also are referring to movie stars, singers, famous athletes, etc. Some of them have got to be interested in this sport/hobby, right? Duane Upinyachit Our feet go where the caches are!

It says on his account that he hasn't logged a find since September, but that he's logged in as recently as December 4. And... for the Markwelling of the thread, look here.

+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Ask anyone in Butte Falls if they know me. I can assure you that there isn't a single person who doesn't. That makes me famous, right? As basketball coach at the highschool it also makes me the most hated at times. I hear voices.....and they don't like you! Quote Link to comment

I didn't stay long, but I looked. No way would I have figured out the U-M-C connection. You lose ten points. Criminal, take ten points off Brian Snat's score please!

tahoeberne Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Bruce Dern, who lives in the South Lake Tahoe area, signed my friend's cache at Lily Lake. He is an avid runner and I have seen him running, and have even talked to him. David Berne Quote Link to comment
