Never mind that. That's back when I was just plain goofy. Now I'm all serious.

 

By the way, I wrote a little poem:

 

The Week Before Cachemas

 

'Twas the week before Cachemas, when all through the town

 

Not a new geocache was hidden, not even a micro

 

Now, Patudles! now, Robinego! now, g-people, Barnabirdy and ccmin!

 

On, Gadget! on XY! on Jacknapp, Blue J, Ambrosia, and Navigatorz!

 

To the top of the hill! And the valley below!

 

Now hide a cache! Hide a cache! Hide a cache all!"

 

And then, in a twinkling, I saw the Big Rig

 

It was Big Bertha, coming round the bend

 

As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,

 

And I saw the Navigator, coming around.

 

Mr. Gadget was carrying contraptions and birdhouses

 

And his car was all stuffed, with gps’s, walking sticks, and things

 

A bundle of gizmos he had flung on his back,

 

And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

 

Ambrosia’s eyes -- how they twinkled! her dimples how merry!

 

Robinego’s cheeks were like roses, her nose like a cherry!

 

XY’s droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

 

And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

 

Navigatorz had a broad face and a little round belly,

 

That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

 

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

 

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;

 

A wink of Blue J's eye and a flash of his badge,

 

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

 

They all spoke not a word, but went straight to work,

 

And hid all the containers; then turned with a jerk,

 

And laying their finger aside of their nose,

 

And giving a nod, to the computer they drove;

 

And the next morning, there were new caches galore,

 

Merry Cachemas to all and to all a Good Find.

Better get your rear, in GEAR, there's a new cache out there!!  ;)

Hey I'm all geared up. :blink: Meshed the clockwise /counter clock wise rotations and it landed me at the coords. I'm out of here before g-people can blink an eye. ;)

AWWWW MAN!!!! I go out of town for just a couple of days and look what happens! Navz goes and hides a new cache. That is one way to beat us to a FTF :lol: And I didn't even get to cache while I was gone...sigh...poor me. Well I was going to work on my super stumper-4 star- non-math-winter friendly, van friendly-kid friendly-puzzle tonight but I guess I will have to bribe some math smart friends to help me out so I can get my butt in gear on this one!

Here:

 

The superposition rule (3) decrees:

(g) rot5 = drot5 + wrot5

(h) rot7 = drot7 + wrot7

 

Putting all this through the math mill gives:

(h:) rot7 = drot7 + wrot7

(e:) = drot7 - (n6/n7) * wrot6

(a:) = drot7 - (n6/n7) * wrot3

(d:) = drot7 - (n6/n7) * (n5/n3) * wrot5

(g:) = drot7 - (n6/n7) * (n5/n3) * rot5 + (n6/n7) * (n5/n3) * drot5

(f:) = wrot2 - (n6/n7) * (n5/n3) * rot5 + (n6/n7) * (n5/n3) * wrot2

= ( 1 + (n6/n7) * (n5/n3)) * wrot2 - (n6/n7) * (n5/n3) * rot5

(b:) = (-1) * {( 1 + (n6/n7) * (n5/n3) * (n1/n2) * wrot1 + (n6/n7) * (n5/n3) * rot5 }

(c:) (n7/n6) * rot7 + (n5/n3) * rot5 + {(n7/n6) + (n5/n3)} * (n1/n2) * rot1 = 0

 

I hope that helps. :lol:

I keep hearing rumors about some "Stump the Navigatorz Puzzle Cache", and I just can't wait for it. I have an appetite for puzzle caches and I will take anything you got, sprinkle it with some sugar, and devour it like candy.

We have new geocachers in our area...The Longshots. They are a family

of four: husband, wife, and 2 kids (girl age 10 and boy age 11). She

works at RI dam in the same office where I work. I gave her the

geocaching video to take home to watch and they went out and bought a

gps for Christmas. They seem excited to start finding caches. So if

you see a log on one of your caches by The Longshots, please give them a

warm Cachecadian welcome to the sport. :o

RE: Cachcadians next event~what do you all think about having a little workshop on using all of our technology? I know that I would really like to know more about going paperless, the different stuff on my gps etc. For crying out loud I can't even figure out how to get an avatar! I know that there are lots of very knowledgable cachers here and if there is interest maybe we could get some kind of organized info sharing. Just a thought~I may be the only one in need!

I have had the same idea my self and had mentioned it to othere also. I did not think about having as an event cache. This is a teriffic idea and others will agree. "GO g-girl" no no I mean g-people :)

 

You are not alone for one needing help. Oh dam I have left my self wide open with this last comment. Just watch robinego hammer me on this. :D;):D

I'm not an expert by any means, but would be gald to come and share what I have learned. I might even pick up some techniques too.

 

Did you know that if you download cache waypoints from GSAK onto Street and Trips, you can push the CTRL on your keyboard and then right click your mouse on a cache data point on the map, and it will open the cache page on the internet? I just learned that little trick a couple of weeks ago from Barnabirdy. So see, you can teach an old dog new tricks.

 

And yes Mr. Gadget, you do need help, but I'm not sure we can provide that kind of help. ;) (Yes, you did leave yourself wide open on that one). :)

December 28th was a very good day for xy. He called me for a little bit of a hint on the cache container for Camo' Cache. Shortly after he called again and said he had found it.

Not only this, but he told me that this was his:

 

 

500th cache find congrats for the achievement xy

Belated Congradulations to Navigatorz on the milestone of 1400 and to Ambrosia on her 700th and to xy for reaching 500! ;)

 

And yes I seem to be stuck on 399......but I'll get the big 4-oh-oh soon.

 

Also, there is a new cacher in our locale. I recently introduced a retired fellow and his wife to this habit. He is now know as MAX-X and is enjoying the hunt. Please welcome MAX-X.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Belated congrats to the milestoners...heheheh, I like that term....

 

Happy New Year from rainy NorCal, we'll be home (hopefully) by Tuesday assuming of course freeways reopen.

 

Gadget, you know better than to leave such a wide open door.

 

Nav, you are as close to an expert in our area, we'll suck you dry of your knowledge and then spit you out...resistance is futile, Muahahahaha...!!!!!

 

Welcome to the newcomers, go get busy and find some and then get even busier hiding!!!!

2006 is starting off with a big BANG :D

The g-people make their long awaited mile stone of 200 caches. Good work you guys and thanks for all you have contributed also. :D

 

Jackknap finally got over the hump with 400 finds. Hopfully without joining Patudles with her new habit forming behavior. :D:D

Congratulations to all, Navigatorz, Jacknap, XY, and G-people for your new milestones.

 

Now to let the cat out of the bag. :D The area I hid Hoosegow is an area I frequently see cops checking out what the young folks are hanging around the parking lot for. I was just trying to see if any of ya'll would look suspicious also. Looks like Jacknap took the bait. :D

Wow!! Large text, red letters, underlines, exclamation points. <_<

 

Remember the song:

 

This land is your land, this land is my land

From California, to the New York Island

From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters

This land was made for you and me
