Guest King Pellinore Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Mopar, a fellow geocacher, was so moved by my cache, The Teddy Roosevelt (aka A B C) that he created the cache Revenge of the King. I am deeply honored. It is a diabolical cache, deep in trackless swamp. Have any of you been honored in a cache name in this fashion? Quote Link to comment
Guest ClayJar Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I must admit that no such cache has yet been placed for me. However, back at LAGG-1 (our gathering), one of the topics that came up over the picnic lunch was "How to make a ClayJar-proof geocache." Incidentally, one of the ideas that alexm had was to put a cache out in the Atchafalaya swamp on an old, abandoned platform. I recently put a cache out... in the Atchafalaya swamp... on an old abandoned platform. Turns out that NOMAN is on the very platform alexm was thinking of. Quote Link to comment

Guest Mopar Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Glad you enjoyed the honor, Pellinore. Now maybe you can get out there and actually FIND it next time! Revenge On The King Quote Link to comment
Guest bunkerdave Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 There is a cacher in Utah - Dhobby- who has been chasing me since July. Actually passed me a couple times, and we bagged #200 together. I thought of the animal that is the ULTIMATE cacher, and nicknamed him that, but he stayed with his old one. Anyone want to try and guess what animal it was? (Pretty easy) Quote Link to comment

Guest glenn95630 Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 I know of a TB that mentions Iron Chef and Clayjar. (see Oct 24,2001 of this TB) http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=224 Quote Link to comment
Guest Mopar Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 Revenge On The King got it's first find today! And it WASN'T King Pellinore, heheehhe. Looks like it's do-able King, better get back out there! Quote Link to comment
Guest BassoonPilot Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 I thought of going after it yesterday, but decided that since it WAS intended as Mopar's revenge upon the good King (whose A B C was really pretty easy), he really should have been permitted to find it first. Ah well, so much for etiquette. . . Quote Link to comment

Ah well, so much for etiquette. . . HA! His A B C cache (Now renamed Teddy Roosevelt for reasons that are unknown to me) was easy for YOU maybe, hehhe. I only live a few miles away from there. I made my 1st attempt from the side closest to me (seemed to fit the clues best too). What I endured was several miles of pure HELL, only to reach the cache area and find practically a stroll thru a field leading out the other way! I was kinda hoping/expecting that Pellinore would be the 1st to find it as well. I mean, it is within a mile or 2 of his house I'm guessing, as well as an area he is more familiar with then anyone else. Figured he had the upper hand. Ah well, he DID get to make the 1st attempt on it at least. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea. I'm not upset that someone else found it. I'm actually pleased that it was found. ClayJar's site initially rated it a 5 terrain and I think a 4 on difficulty, which I thought was maybe a tad bit harsh, so I lowered them down a bit. I think the logs so far show that I was pretty accurate in my rating. Depending on BassoonPilot's log when (notice I didn't say if?) he finds it, I may bump the dificulty up a ½ point.

"Revenge on the King" was a whole bunch of fun. I can't for the life of me figure out why the good King couldn't snag it. Quote Link to comment
