+Geofellas Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 ...a burned out automobile. While setting one of the caches for Pickering Airport - April Fool's Joke 2004 today (yes - in the pouring rain no less!!) I encountered the burned out shell of a car that wasn't there a couple of weeks ago when I was scouting out the location. Needless to say the police were very interested given that there was a discarded gas can tossed into the field next to it and it was a place that no-one (except the occasional geocacher) goes on any kind of a regular basis. I let them do the actual "TO" bit of "CITO" (they probably wanted to dust it for fingerprints or something) but I claim the prize to date.... Strangely the local constabulary didn't ask why I was there in the first place - I'm glad I didn't have to explain geocaching to them - they couldn't handle it when I tried to tell them the location by giving them Lat and Long though Quote Link to comment

+Tequila Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 We had a lot of fun at those events. I remember Tony sitting at my house laughing at us trying to solve his beginnings. Then racing through the Big Pipe starting at midnight finising with a drunk driver at 0500. Quote Link to comment
