Before Geocaching

[+SamLowrey]

I’m on the left

 

That pic is so cool, it looks like something that would be on an album by Cream

 

For better or worse, I was born in the 70's and don't have any cool pics of myself.

With my wife in 1987 (14 years before she became my wife):

 

Like, oh my god! That pic is SO 80's! Fer sher! Dig the hat!

 

I really miss the 80's. They were a lot of fun.

[+thomascanty]

That sure is a lot of snow for July!

 

I'll have to dig around and see if I can find an old photo of me for this thread.

 

Edited to add the picture:

 

Here's my ugly mug, circa about 1980. That's my cousin Melissa with me.

Man, if you think THAT's 80s, you should see the picture I was THINKING of posting! I'll see if I can dig it up tonight. It will definitely make you laugh out loud!

I dug this out tonight and used the digital camera to upload it. This is one of the promo photos for a cheesy rock band that I played keyboards in. Big hair and spandex. Ay yi yi.... This would be around 1988 or 1989. I was 21.

 

Did you and your band play any bars in K.C.? This group looks kinda familiar.

[+Geo Ho]

Here I am before I became Geo Ho . . .

 

So sweet, so innocent, sooooooo boring!!

 

Prom Night (no . . . I didn't say no)

 

Ack!! High School Photo

 

In my Civil Air Patrol uniform

 

Big Hair . . . flashback to the 80's???

 

Aaaaah! That's more like it!

 

So there it is . . . or should I say, there I am.

 

Enjoy!

 

Happy caching and stuff!!

I only have the one old photo on my computer, the rest are at mom's.

 

This is from the late '80s it is my HS soccer photo. I have many that are much worse

 

[+flask]

jumpin' jiminy! you're all so beautiful! i'm getting all teary-eyed. my mental soundtrack has joan baez singing "forever young".

 

tell me this... how doe one upload pictures to the forum? i tried once, but didn't get it. tell me, and i'll see what i can do about pics of me.

 

and criminal, that first picture, well, it's STUNNING. first of all, it's a really good picture. it's well-composed and has a lot of dpth, plus it's so evocative of its time and i could go on and on but you'd think i'm sappier than i am.

 

if that's possible.

 

i play at being all curmudgeonly, but really i'm a big, fat softie. but shhhhh, don't tell nobody. it's a secret.

[+clearpath]

I'm thinking Hall & Oates or Simon & Garfunkel, hehehe ....

I think we might have, but I honestly can't remember! The band name was Last Call. Basic 80's cover band and we tended to play bars.

I think everyone should post at least one bad pic! I posted my huge glasses pic after all!

Hopefully not Bosum Buddies.....

[+Touchstone]

This one's from '73; I think Mom has most of my old ones. Yeesh! I think I'm better looking than my sisters

 

Here's one from college. Summit of Mt Hood, 1982. (I'm the guy in the yellow jacket)

 

And more recently. Maybe 91-92; something like that (I'm in the middle). Summit of Half Dome after climbing Snake Dike. Now I can put all that skill to work on caches like this!

While in college in southeastern Ohio I spent some time fighting forest fires.

This picture was taken in November of 1976.

Wow, is it just me or do you look like Bill Gates?

[+PSUPAUL]

 

Circa 1987 just after college. I will have to look for HS pics. That is me in the middle with my brother and the future Mrs.

[+Runaround]

Wow, is it just me or do you look like Bill Gates?

Richard must have a Dorian Gray painting somewhere. If you meet him now, he pretty much looks the same, just a different jacket.

[lowracer]

Great to see all the old cacher photos. I made a puzzle cache out of the old photos of the Central Texas area cachers. It's the largest cache in Austin at 24 gallons:

[bcrockcrawler]

Well this is an interesting post. After dragging out all the old photo albums and sharing some laughs with my wife and kids, I've made some selections.....

 

Taken about '71 or '72 Then it was a good copy of Cartoons that kept my intrest..

 

 

This is about 1982, That's my daughter who now caches as marketer

We're on my old 69 race Bronco...

 

 

And finally, my wife, xstitcher and our daughter. Again about 1982

Nothing wrong with it unless you get accosted by people wanting you to fix their computers or give them money!

Well I haven’t posted in a while and this is as good a topic as any to post to but then I started looking at old photos and wanted to cry. I’m going on a diet this week.

I know this is a before caching thread but I thought I would include a recent photo to motivate my self to loose some weight.

The first photo was taken about 1986 on an island off the gulf coast of southern Florida, I was setting up a tent for a overnight stay. I was about 23 Boy did I look fit and trim.

The second picture is a wipe out on Center Hill Lake in Tennessee taken about 1993. Seven years had passed and I was starting to get a little extra padding on.

The last one is the motivational photo taken last Saturday at the It's All Down Hill from here cache in Athens Tennessee.

As you can tell from the look on my face the down hill part is after you find the cache it’s all up hill to the cache.

Boy how time changes us.

Oh yeah!! I LOVE this thread!!

This is me and Julie (or engagement pic) in '94...the hair is a carry-over from the 80's (We loved the 80's sooo much, we tried to drag it into the 90's).

Anyone who knows me now knows this is soooooo not how I look!!

 

[+Ed & Julie]

Julie's 80's glamor shot...80's hair doesn't get much bigger!!

[+CO Admin]

This thread was resurrected from a long time ago, BOTF(Before Off Topic Forum) Now that we have one it should be there.

 

Ill close this on. If someone wants to restart it in the OT forum go for it. Its a fun thread but doesn't belong in this thread.

Thanks
