+HartClimbs Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I was off hiking with some friends today at Hacklebarney with the kids running all over the place and to keep them busy, I was pointing out likely places where a geocache might reside. Didn't even have the GPS on when my son exclaimed "We found it!". Well - he did. I turned the GPS on - and there was no cache located there (so I'm assuming this may be the final stage of a multi???) - but we signed the log and rehid the cache exactly as we found it. Now that's lucky - finding a cache by just looking in likely spots in a couple hundred acres of park. Now the $64,000 question - what cache was it? I neglected to take the time to read through the logbook, but did notice a GC.COM stash note (was definitely a geocache)! Any ideas? I'm thinking it may be the Old Stage 2 of the NJ cache hunt but figured I'd check with folks who've found it (the last online find is a while ago - but someone had signed this logbook fairly recently I recall).

+Mopar Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 How about the old Paulie Walnuts? It was hidden VERY close to the trail, in a hollow tree. Quote Link to comment
+HartClimbs Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 Coordinates are fairly close - but that cache was noted as going missing a while ago (and this cache was in fine shape). Actually, looking through the logs - there are some VERY similar coordinates. Someone must've replaced it - it was a tupperware container and included a log (and pretty good contents). If this is the cache - it should be unarchived ('cause it's definitely there!). I'll eagerly await the unarchiving and reading the next finder's logs! Quote Link to comment
+scoobydooers Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 There are some people who are good at geocacheing, they can navagate streets plotting parking spots without looking at a map or the gps, there are some goecachers who can walk on water (so Im told) and find caches with only half of the cords. and then there are the supercachers, whos mear presence is enough to make the caches give themselfs up. to jump out of thier hideing places yelling "I give up, I give up" Quote Link to comment
+HartClimbs Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 Well - it's apparently unarchived now....so if anyone's in that area soon - take a look (and bring a digital camera to snap pics of the log since I'm pretty sure there were recent log entries in it!). Maybe it's a leap-day cache - and only appears every Feb 29th? Quote Link to comment
+Skully & Mulder et al. Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 We found "Paulie Walnuts" awhile ago and I see from my log the coords were about 90' off. Quote Link to comment
+MissJenn Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 You guys over there in NJ have started some sort of a trend, I think: Lost Wildcat, in PA, was recently logged as found by someone after the owner had verified it's disappearance and so archived the cache! Quote Link to comment
+Natureboy44 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I just read Magoo's log and attached picture of a Park Ranger's log. Isn't it nice to here about a Park officer who supports our fun!! Quote Link to comment
