+Team GeoCan Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 There I was, minding my own business (Painting soda cans OD Green...) when my new neighbor (who just got out of prison for drug dealing) approaches and says "hey what you doing?" I responded "I am painting stash cans" then realized my mistake... This guy is now a "kindred spirit", he starts telling me about the best ways to stash drugs so no-one finds them, and comments that he never thought of using soda cans... He finally runs down, and I explained WHY I was painting stash cans, and he looks at me strangely and says... "Nevermind... Jeff Scism, IBSSG http://blacksheep.rootsweb.com/ Time to hide a treasure inside, and what will we find? A dream a trinket, stimulation for the mind? Log: Neat stuff, Thanks!! Log Two: Took serial number keychain, put stuffed dog back. Log Three: Took log pages, No TP. Log four: Took Ammo can, Left nothin Quote Link to comment

Great. Perhaps you've just saved your "kindred spirit" a return trip to the slammer. [This message was edited by BassoonPilot on June 22, 2003 at 10:45 AM.] Quote Link to comment
+Team GeoCan Posted June 22, 2003 Author Share Posted June 22, 2003 I figure these would be good to stuff with plastic bags and leave in caches (if the caches have room) when the last trash bag is gone, it is a ready cache, just waiting for contents and deployment...

+Florafloraflora Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 My brother and I were just wondering about that during yesterday's cache hunt: maybe there's a whole alternative network out there of "geostashers", who hide caches with extra-special (and extralegal) prizes for the first finder. Kind of the dark mirror-image of our own sport. Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised. Quote Link to comment
+GroundClutter Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 A fellow cacher and I were at a cache site. There was a youth there. Wanting to be discreet, we were waiting for the kid to leave. He was waiting for us to leave. After about 20 minutes of all of us sitting there, we finally said stuff it, and made a move for the cache. The kid jumps up and says "Leave it alone". Huh?!? He said it wasn't ours. We asked if he was a cacher. "A what?" It was obvious that we weren't speaking about the same thing. Ok...taking a calculated risk, I explained what we were doing, and he then explained what he was doing. Yup. We had a cache where he had a stash. We said we wouldn't arrest him, but as this was a "high traffic" (pun intended) area, he would probably want to move his stuff. "That's cool" he said. Sheesh.... Step away from the tupperware!

+Freelens&Mosie Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 With people stashing drugs, us stashing caches and spys doing dead drops, it's a wonder we don't run into each other more often. Wisdom comes with age... but sometimes age comes alone. Quote Link to comment
The Falcon Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 "With people stashing drugs, us stashing caches and spys doing dead drops, it's a wonder we don't run into each other more often." LOL, I can see the movie now.... Sean Connery as the spy, Steve Buscimi as the drug runner, and Tom Hanks as the geocacher. Imagine the comic fun when Buscimi sells an ammo box full of McToys to a crime boss! ===== It is the tale, not he who tells it." Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 I found a cache that had as it's last two logs that they had found it by accident and placed their pot in the cache. Then they came back in a week and took the pot and signed the log again. Go figure. ===================== Wherever you go there you are. Quote Link to comment
+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 One cache, off a rest stop on an older scenic highway where Tom Mix died. The log entry before ours said "thought it was drugs." We couldn't tell if they were disappointed or relieved.... ******** Till a voice, as bad as Conscience, rang interminable changes On one everlasting Whisper day and night repeated -- so: "Something hidden.

+flask Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 one of my caches was confiscated by the border police, who thought it was a soft drop. after they reviewed its contents, they signed the logbook, left a border patrol medallion, and replaced it. no kidding. good for them. it doesn't matter if you get to camp at one or at six. dinner is still at six.

+ict X ckr Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 The most driving force for cachers in this area to have their first cache-in trash-out, meet the park rangers BBQ, was when a local cache was found by park employees with non-traditional treasure and wanted to know if that is where the owner was keeping his stash. Don't step in that!!!!! Quote Link to comment

2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 This thread is one of the most interesting yet. I had never thought some of the things could happen except for in the movies as The Falcon said.....great reading.....Wonder if anything like this could happen in a rural area?
