It's Raining, It's Pouring...

[+Team GPSaxophone]

Well, as if Saturday wasn't bad enough (having to work and no one's in the forums), it's raining outside.

 

Normally, I wouldn't mind since I can't go geocaching anyway.

 

The "meteorologist" guy says it's going to rain for 2 more days!

 

That's just not right, what would a guy that studies meteors know about the weather? Doesn't he know that I'm off for the next 3 days and don't want to hike on muddy trails looking for tupperware in the woods?

 

It was 80 degrees a week ago (when I was out of town and couldn't go geocaching locally, but it's ok because I found a few on my trip). Why do we have to have all this rain? Doesn't it make the plants grow and cover the caches better? Doesn't it give ticks more places to hide? I don't need it to rain here, I have automatic sprinklers installed!

 

Oops, out of time. I have to get back from my break. Feel free to comment on the situation, I hadn't quite gotten to my topic yet. If a topic develops anyway, take it from there. However, keep abjectly silly posts in the correct thread. THis one has something to do with rain and geocaching.

for some reason, more than half of my finds have been in the rain and mud. i guess i have a craving for pneumonia, and wrenched ankles.

I am so spoiled living in So Cal. When I hear about caching in the snow and rain and cold, I can't imagine it.

If I lived where it snowed, I would hibernate for the winter. You sure as heck wouldn't see me out caching.

Rain Maybe you should come back out this way. It is turning out to be a real nice day here. Clear sky and moderate temp.

i've gone caching in snow like this. the stick is a yardstick.

[+bons]

Sounds like it's time to study Sugarite photos in great detail so you can figure out where to hide those caches...

[+Stem]

The "meteorologist" guy says it's going to rain for 2 more days!

 

Well it has rained everyday since last sunday where I live. Last night the meteor guy said everyday except Tuesaday and Wednesday it will rain this coming week

 

To make matters worse, I have 4 caches in my dining room that I am dying to hide. Oh well, at least its rain and not snow

[+Team GPSaxophone]

What strikes me as odd, well besides having a wet cat in the forums, is that I enjoy caching in the snow but I won't cache when it's raining.

 

Uper, I would love to go caching in an area like that. Heck, I'd love to live somewhere it snows that much. However, this thread is about rain. Show me a picture of a flood.

I just saw a big boat full of animals go floating by...should I worry?

Good thing Mt. Baldy isn't quite visible from your house.

Well Saxy, the rain is welcome here in N. Colorado. The Picnic Rock fire has consumed (from last report) better than 6000 acres. This is at the mouth of the Poudre Canyon. Home of the Resting by the River cache as well as several more.

So cheer up, it is doing some good. I hope the fire fighters can get this thing under control.

[+Team GPSaxophone]

Yes, my grass is really enjoying the rain. My fruit trees may have been damaged by a bit of hail, I won't know til I go home. New Mexico is in as much of a drought as Colorado, but we have to give all of our water to Texas so it doesn't do us any good.

[+Vader]

I just got home from placing another cache. I live in Colorado and I know what your talking about. Last night it was pouring ( wet ) Cats and Dogs. Put on some boots, Gators,Shellpants and a rain coat and go caching.

Yeah...and the water outta the Pecos river hits the salt flats south of Carlsbad, NM and becomes useless to the ranchers down there in Texas...you would think Texas would give us a break and tell us to keep it until they can come up with a workable plan...instead it sits and evaporates

 

This rain is really nice...caching or not we in SOUTHERN NM need it soooo bad...we have had probably 18 inches of rain in the last 7 years

So this will help....

Oh, did I mention the thunder and lightning? (Shouldn't it be lightning and thunder since the light comes first?) Anyway, It felt like an earthquake had hit last night around 1am (I'm from California, so yes, I know what an earthquake feels like). After another flash of lightning, the thunder rolled on for 20-30 seconds. Boy do we have wierd weather.

COOL BEANS !!!!!!!!!

 

That would be a really great name for a cache on a golf course....

 

You got more of them in Albuquerque .... My town has one golf course...and all the land around it is privately owned

 

But I would be more then glad to supply the goodies for the cache !!!

[+woof n lulu]

And we could always put it atop a lightning rod...

[+Team GPSaxophone]

Bring me the goodies and I'll place a cache for you

There is a little tear in my eye for you Smurf Dude.

 

Here In Western Washington the sun has been shining for days now. I got 11 finds yesterday and it was rough, with all that glare on my GPSr. Now I have to go to the ocean for 7 days where lots of caches await me. If it stays sunny all the torn black garbage bags they are usually wrapped in will be dry. This sun thing is all wrong.

Do it in the rain, real Smurfs don't melt.

Besides rain seems to keep immigration from Cali. down.

I live next to a HUGE golf course. All the nearby caches have golfballs in them.

You got that right.

My sister migrated up there to retire. For awhile she kept bugging me to follow until she realized I was having no part of all that rain.

I have a t-shirt that I bought on a trip up there. It says "Seattle Rain Festival-Jan 1st to Dec 31".

My brother also moved up there from So Cal many years ago and after living there for about a year he said "You know when you are planning to do something outside, and then it starts to rain...you just postpone it til another day or next weekend, right? Well, I've learned you can't do that here."

 

I'll stay right where I am, thank you very much. It IS beautiful up there, though.

Interesting. I wonder what their par is.

"You know when you are planning to do something outside, and then it starts to rain...you just postpone it til another day or next weekend, right? Well, I've learned you can't do that here."

Around here if you plan on doing something and it starts raining, you wait for about 5 minutes and it will stop. Then you go on with your day.

 

It's been that way for the 3 years I've lived here until today. Today it wouldn't stop raining. It's as close to Seattle as I'll ever get.

That's different. I like snow. When it snows, I'm happy. When snow melts, I'm sad. When I rains, I'm sad. When rain melts, I'm happy

Do not let that out. You have people in those parts that would rather be in a Hurricane, Flood or Tornado than be in a little 3 pointer like those.

Talk about weird. We had thunder and lightning here on Thursday. If we get T&L once every two or three years, we're lucky. Not the right conditions for it here, but we got some nice rain and a bonus of light and sound.
