+briansnat Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Thanks for bringing back bad memories. I lost my best friend on April 1st. So sad, we were in college. I called him and told him his mother died and when he broke down crying I yelled "April fools!". He wanted nothing to do with me after that. Quote Link to comment

+Dan-oh Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 As much as I'd love to log that cache, I can't possibly match the previous logs. Very good! 'sides, I don't wanna travel across the US just to get skunked. Quote Link to comment

+GPSKitty Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Awww, that sucks. And it blows, too. I had just written up a "found it" log and then the cache page was gone. Poof! You snooze, you lose. That was some really funny stuff. GPSKitty Quote Link to comment
uperdooper Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 oh c'mon. this one should count. if people didn't come to the forums to find this thread, we wouldn't been able to log it. at least on the other one i just posted notes. Quote Link to comment
+clan_Barron Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 They're GONE! They're BOTH GONE! Fortunately I saved both cache pages (Da Bomb & sloof lirpa) to disk before they were nuked. Some very funny stuff Quote Link to comment

Some very funny stuff I didn't even get to Da Bomb. It took me forever to read sloof lirpa. We have very funny people here. Quote Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 So, will my two "finds" be deleted? It's not about numbers, it's about honesty....unless those are going to be considered legitimate "internet event" caches, I don't want to claim them as finds if I didn't really find them......but, dang it, that was a BLAST!!!!!! Thanks, cachemonkeyz, for doing that for us today!!!!! Quote Link to comment

Some very funny stuff Might I suggest that you submit them to "Today's Geocacher" for publication? I think the rest of the community that didn't get a chance to see them would enjoy that. I know I did!! Ummm.....did anyone else get the feeling that the caching community has an unnatural obsession with gerbils and hamsters? Quote Link to comment
+CYBret Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 HERE'S a little April Fools' Day prank I played on my approver today. The worst part is I thought, "What if he DOES approve it?!?! I'm going to have a LOT of explaining to do!!!" Thankfully he got it! Bret P.S. Apparently not everyone knows this. If the image is too small to read (and you're using IE) hold your mouse over the image until the square button at the bottom right appears, then click it. Quote Link to comment
+MJinFL Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 So CacheMonkeez... what IS the significance of the coordinates, since they really ARE just around the corner from me? Does that mean you're uncomfortably close to me??? Quote Link to comment
+Amazingracer Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 What was the orginal link to at the top of this page to? i got here late the cache was gone. Could some explain what was on there that was so funny, for us cachers just now getting to the forums for today? Quote Link to comment

Could some explain what was on there that was so funny, for us cachers just now getting to the forums for today? It was a bogus cache in Florida. sloof lirpa. April fools backwards. It was in a National Park, buried under railroad tracks. Hazardous swag. Cachers "logged" finds for it. Very inventive and funny stuff. It really is too bad that it got wiped out.

Captain Chaoss Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Wow. You can color me dense. Found it, read it, logged it, loved it. Never once did I catch the fact that the caches name was April Fools backwards. Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 It's too bad they deleted it. I was going to change my "find" to a note tomorrow saying that in all the excitement, I forgot to sign the logbook and won't claim a find until I do (which would, of course, be never) Quote Link to comment

My log is still intact on My Cache Page, I can delete it form there if I want. The cache page is history though. It really is too bad. It should have been added to the annals of Geocaching history Quote Link to comment

I can't remember an April Fools day where I had such enjoyment. Edited April 2, 2004 by Webfoot Quote Link to comment
