How Would They Sign?

[+2qwerqE]

I come in darkness, geocaching

I leave the trail, I love bushwacking

and with my GPS, I come seeking

under rocks and logs I am peeking

and the vision that was posted on the Net

lures me in

I seek the cache in silence.

 

Beneath the moonlight's soft white beams;

the coords are off a bit it seems

I didn't come this far to quit in vain

I'll search these brambles and this flooded plain.

Then the flash of a hunter's gun splits the night

I turn in flight.

And there's the can. I sign in.

Syrian Surprise 4/5

 

I knew I had to find this one right away. There were plenty of out-of-town 'cachers looking for my caches I set locally, and I was sick of them in my hair. All my caches have a rating of 5/5, so they found only a couple.

 

Had a hard time getting there, muggles everywhere. Finally found it. Good thing I took my bag of trade goodies.

 

TN, left all my WMD.

 

Headed back home to do some cache maintenance. I have this awesome idea for a multi that will end in a spider hole. There should be a rating higher than 5/5 for this one.

GCOOZZ Emerald City Cache by Ozzy Wiz

 

At the starting coordinates there were many little muggles, but they helpful and they were able to show the right road to follow. Along the way met fellow catchers: Crow Kid, Tin Dude and Scary Cat. We think that the overall difficulty should be updated to at least a 4 star rating due to the tree cover in the Apple Orchard and the present of dangerous winged primates. The path to the cache was well established except at the flowerbed.

 

At the cache site we found a Multi-color Horse TB…CO ADMIN would have been proud. Crow Kid took the Geo Diploma, Tin Dude took Broken Heart McToy; Scary Cat took the Old War Medal. Toto the Geo Dog and I wanted to take the balloon Home but someone beat us to it. Took some red shoes. We all left smarter, more loving and braver.

i didn't have a cache descrition or coordinates but i knew i would recognize the cache location when i saw it. so i gathered some folks together and we looked for it. at first we thought it was in illinois, but then walked across the great plains and there it was. so i said, this is good enough, and we left our own log book.

 

we also claimed a find for our great grandparents who died before caching was invented.

Whew! Took the most direct path we could find, and still travelled about 8000 miles!

It was a little longer than expected so we made as much use of the waterways as possible, altho we did do our share of bushwacking! The friendly (for the most part) muggles were a big help.

GCLOTR --- Ring in Hand Cache (Middle Earth) ~ Stage one of Multi Cache by J.R.R.T.

 

Gray Wiz handed off the Gold Ring Travel Bug for me to place in the final Stage of this fantastically hard multi cache. Started the day with SamWise, Pip and Merry. Later joined up with Horse Rider, The Archer, Prince Boy and Short 'n Red. Muggles all over the place, making the hike very difficult. Battled many Noseeums, not enough DEET in the world to shield against them. Gray Wiz hooked up with us later at the Elf Land Event Cache, sure did enjoy his Fellowship. Gray Wiz decided to take the lower trail at the Cave Caching portion. Prince Boy continued the journey as a Hydrocache. We will split into 3 teams for the next stage. TNLN, this cache is sure deserving of it 5/5 rating. Thanks JRRT for laying out the cache.

DUDE ! We scored FTF. Check it; my pain in the butt uncle Pelias was really stressing my case. He felt I was wasting my summer break, so he wants me to go pick up this old dead sheep skin for his “trophy room”. What a red-neck.

 

Anyways, what the heck, I figure get my posse together, and ROADTRIP ! We scored a really cool cache vehicle too. Argus is such a wuss, he built this awesome boat (named it the Argo, stupid name) but wouldn’t come along. Think his girlfriend wouldn’t let him. He’s wooped.

 

Its cool though, my buddy Hercules was sick of cleaning stables out anyway, so he bailed outta work and came along. You all know, if Herk comes along, its gonna be a wild ride. We stopped off in Salmydessus, but man, you shoulda seen the uggo broads in that town ! Fortunately, we pissed them off and they bugged out, so we had a cool party after that.

 

Sidenote: watch out for that speed trap the local fuzz set up. They call it the Symplegades. That cost us some cash to repair the geo-ride !

 

We finally pulled into Colchis to look for “Aeetes Golden Fleece Find”,

I figured what the heck, if we score the prize from a cache, I pocket Unc’s cash, and it pays the beer tab !

 

That Aeetes sets up a wicked multi, but his hottie of a daughter was sweet on me, so she helped us out with it. Nothing like some inside info. Gotta say, Medea was a real aid there. We got FTF, my Unc’s off my case, and it was a killer road trip.

 

Shouldn’t have left her hanging like that, but I’m too much of a stud to be tied down to the first chick that digs me. Sides, long distance relationships are too much work.

 

Anyways, took Golden fleece, Left broken hearts and empty beer bottles.

What a great day for snow caching. After retiring from politics and my fantastic music career, I've had more time for this great diversion. The aspens were beautiful as I began my descent this afternoon, hoping for that elusive FTF. I must have waxed the skis too much, as I was having trouble slowing down, kicking up lots of fresh powder which clung to my ski goggles, making navigation a bit tricky. Trees were whizzing past me at an amazing rate, blurring together like a picket fence, then.....serenity. Lofty clouds, angels playing harps, old friends greeting me. Surely this isn't the cache?

This was #128 of 585 today. Found this one after a bit of a search. That idiot Scotty was supposed to beam me right TO the coords. Moron. He sent me 15' away and I had to SEARCH!

Fortunately, Spock's tricorder led us right to the spot. Didn't even have to decode the clue! Spock did have to subdue a muggle with his Vulcan grip and then mind-meld with him to wipe out his memory of our encounter.

Sorry for the late post. I've been kinda out of it for a couple days.

 

Found the cache on Tuesday? Wednesday? Somethin' like that.

[evilrooster]

Chose not to open cache after I stumbled across it, for several reasons:

 

1. This is clearly a vacation cache, and should not have been approved.. The hider, Odysseus, has finds in Ithaka and throughout Greece, but nothing else here in Ilium. He may have been here on business for ten years, but he's gone now. I suspect it'll turn into geo-litter, since Hektor, our most prolific cache adopter, is no longer caching.

 

2. The cache container is not well chosen. It's a funny shape, not weatherproof, and far too large. (You could put a whole army in that thing!) Don't the Greeks have arrow cans?

 

3. Leaving a cache lying around just outside the city gates is not the same as hiding it.

 

4. I don't like Greeks or their caches.

Awwwwww man! That was just tooooo cooooooolll

Headed out in the van to do the "Yasgur's Farm" event cache.

whoa -- what a huge turnout! We could see some kind of purple haze rising over the field before we even got there so we knew we were close.

We got settled in and then it started raining! What a drag! But we were having

waaaaayyy to much fun to care. The music was great! But the bathrooms

were just too packed, man! We couldn't shower or anything, either.

Most of us didn't care, though. We just kinda hung around and mellowed out. I'm pretty sure I signed the log book. I think. Er - wait. WAS there a log book? Kinda fuzzy on the details. Oh well. That's one event cache I'll never forget, man. People are gonna talk about THIS one for a while. Hey --what are these red spiders and purple glowing elephants doing on my screen?

They done finally let me out of Shawshank just when I figured I'd be there for keeps. I figured it'd be a fine thing to hunt for this cache since it was personally recommended to me by my friend Andy, the hider. I got to the cache OK, even without a GPS, since it's a letterbox hybrid and Andy gave me the letterbox clues. It looks like I'm the first finder and oh, my... what a first finder's prize! Nuthin' talks to me like cold hard cash in a cache. Think I'll use it to buy me a bus ticket and do some cachin' with Andy in Mexico where it's a fair bit warmer than here in Maine.

[OuttaHand]

FTF!!!! Lots of people have looked at this cache for quite a while without being able to reach it. Thanks to the thousands of people helping us, we were able to land and log it. It was only one small step for me, but it was, well, you know. I really am a bit surprised that this cache was approved, though. Seems like it would be hard to do maintenance this far from home.

Overall, an excellent location for a cache. It's a REALLY long trip to get here; but the view is absolutely unbelievable!!! VERY few people get to enjoy an earth-rise like that! I'll tell you one thing, though. I'm sure glad I didn't have to pay the fuel bill for the cache-mobile on THIS one!

I feel that we really traded UP on this cache. We took some rock samples and left millions of dollars worth of scientific equipment. The next finder is SET! We didn't find a log book to sign so we left an American flag and took lots of pictures to prove we were here.

Thanks for a REALLY great cache!
