+Roadster Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 So have you got the GPS in for Lysa yet? Caching minds want to know...... The early bird gets the worm, but the 2nd mouse gets the cheese. Quote Link to comment
john_john Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 hello, i am not a geocacher or whatever you call yourselves. i walk for exercise and was on the betheny falls trail in burr oak woods in blue springs, missouri when i came upon a cache right on the walking path. after reading the copy of the website page inside the jar, i realized that someone had found it and moved it. it was placed by steve and mary brown and the coordinates on it are N39 03.119 by W094 18.005. it's located on the path about 250 meters before the overlook. hopefully others who happen upon it will not bother it until one of 'you people' can get to it and put it where it goes. good luck.

john_john Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 ok roadster. hope the package is found intact. good luck and good hunting. Quote Link to comment
+Roadster Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I'm sure there are a lot of people here that gave money for a GPS to give to Lysa and they would like to know any progress!!!! In fact I think she should already have it in her hands! This is just my thought I could be wrong. Anyone else feel the same way? The early bird gets the worm, but the 2nd mouse gets the cheese.

lysa Posted March 20, 2003 Author Share Posted March 20, 2003 I just got an email from Drpepper today... we will be meeting next weekend on Sunday by where the original cache was ... He is going to place the new cache that day too from what I understand... Quote Link to comment
+Roadster Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 ...I wonder if you'll be able to log that cache, Lysa? ...and as for the Burr Oak cache, I'm glad it is back where it belongs and not missing.

+Dersu Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Thanks to Drpepper and the others that helped him to get our wedding and appreciation gift to Lysa and her family. I am sure that it took more time than most of us realize. And again Lysa, I salute you for taking the time to report this lost cache and getting it back to it's owner.

lysa Posted March 20, 2003 Author Share Posted March 20, 2003 absolutely NO need to thank me... if anything I should be thanking my son for pilfering it in the first place... I have met so many totally amazing people in both the forums and in mIRC chat... that I never would have met otherwise...I wish YOU ALL came into the live chat... I would love to get a chance to talk to all of you Quote Link to comment
+Night Hunter Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 What a great story. Amazing how somethings happen. I wish I had come upon it earlier. Congratulations on your wedding and your immigration to our country. I was on mIRC the other day and noticed that there was a Geocaching Room. I went in and there was only a bot (assumed) there. Maybe I will hang out in there for a while and see if Lysa shows up. What times are you usually on? Night Hunter If Wyle E. Coyote could afford all that ACME stuff... Why didn't he just buy DINNER?

Team Flash Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hey Lysa.. What server is it under and what channel? I go on IRC all the time. Quote Link to comment
+Mopar Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 For those with a dedicated IRC client such as mIRC, the server is irc.freenode.net and the channel is #geocache. There is also a web-based java client that can be reached at gcchat.clayjar.com. "Official" geocaching chat is monday nights starting at 9:30pm ET, but there is almost always someone alive there day or night, 7 days a week.

+parkrrrr Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 For those without an IRC client, you just go to ClayJar's Geocaching Chat page. For those with an IRC client, connect to irc.freenode.net channel #geocache. There's also a #geocaching channel, but it's rare to find a lot of people in there. Quote Link to comment

That sounds like a good statement. What do you think Lysa? P.S. I seen on a different post about the new Gremlin Head and was going to "Markwell" it but I dropped the ball and can't find it now.

lysa Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 I guess I really should write something in the log book, it never even entered my mind...

+nullers Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 Congrats Lysa, I wish you the best of luck!! I always thought that cachers were a great group of folks. This just goes to prove it. Perhaps the folks at GEO could start up a Best Story page. I think this one would make a nice one for folks just starting out. Best wishes to all, be safe out there Been there, done that Quote Link to comment
+Roadster Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I watched this story grow from the first day Lysa started it, and I was just starting in this hobby myself at that time and it IS a great thing to see, to know what other cachers are like, and from the ones I have met personaly while caching proved to me that they are all good people.

lysa Posted March 30, 2003 Author Share Posted March 30, 2003 Okay.... I just got back from meeting with Drpepper and Mike and DustyJacket... we did the big trade off in the parking lot of the quick trip gas bar... (surrounded by police.... lol) < jk there was some woman there who got in an accident, so they were there filling out reports... I am going to try and email everyone personally and say thank you for my new gps... but if I don't get you... please don't be offended, it's because you weren't on the list of people that I was given... but I thank you all the same. We went and found two caches... which was totally cool, even if I was a little self-conscious about knowing absolutely nothing! I can't wait to try some more =0) ... Dusty, Mike and drpepper are all great !... Im sure the rest of you are just as nice, hope to meet you all soon =) Thanks again so much ... Lysa Si judicas... Cognosce Quote Link to comment
