+Milbank Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 (edited) That's what I'm planning on doing. I could not think of a better way to spend the day with my wife and son on fathers day. Edited June 19, 2004 by Milbank Quote
+harleycache Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 I'm pretty sure I'll be out. I'll have my cell phone with me, so I will be anticipating a Father's Day call from my son. Quote
+Planet Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Absolutely, positively, no doubt about it. Father's Day is too sad for me since my Dad passed away years ago. We have no kids, so the best thing to do is get outside, Dad would have liked that. I have to turn off all the Father's Day commercials. They bother me. Quote
+Wacka Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 As with planet, no kids and my father passed away 14 years ago, so fathers day is just another day to me. Quote
+Sloopy Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Hopefully! My dad is a geocacher too, so I was thinking of hiding his Father's Day present geocache-style. Then, if the weather is nice, we can hit a few real caches. Quote
dampeoples Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 I'm going to the lake, gotta get your priorities straight Quote
+greende Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Yes, gotta find a couple of caches that I can take the two year old twins to. Otherwise I'll go before anyone gets up-some quiet time. Quote
+carleenp Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 I am taking my Dad fly fishing, but we might cheat and use corn to catch carp on the fly rods. We then will likely go find one of my Mom's (Nevap) caches, that I haven't found and so that I can save Mom a trip to remove a flare from it that someone left in there. Quote
+The Leprechauns Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 (edited) As her Father's Day present to me, Little Leprechaun is taking me to find Hampton, by Quest Master. It's a classic cache by Southwestern PA's best cache hider. It features an 8-mile bike ride on an old railroad bed along a scenic river in the back woods of Fayette County, known by local geocachers as "The Fayette Cong." I can think of no better present than getting away from it all and enjoying a day outdoors with Little Lep! Here's a picture from along the trail we will be riding: Edited June 19, 2004 by The Leprechauns Quote
+sept1c_tank Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Yes. I'm going caching with my 30 year old daughter, Vanessa. She's planning to hide her first cache! Quote
+carleenp Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Now that I think about it, the fishing spot that Dad and I are going to doesn't have a cache! Hmmm, I better get something put together! Quote
+Team GPSaxophone Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Now that I think about it, the fishing spot that Dad and I are going to doesn't have a cache! Hmmm, I better get something put together! What are you going to call it, "Saxman needs to go fishing"? Quote
+CYBret Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 This year, Father's Day is also this critter's 3rd birthday, so it looks like I'm going to be occupied with some fatherly duties and unable to get out and cache. However, my own birthday is in less than 2 weeks and if all goes well I'm going to hit my 500th find that day. That's the only present I've asked for....so far. Quote
+CYBret Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 Just woke up from a HUGE Father's Day nap. No one called...no one bothered me...no one asked me to take out the trash. Would have been nice to spend the day caching, but....Oh well. Bret Quote
+harleycache Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 I said yesterday that I thought I'd be out caching today. Did a short run, found one, hid one (waiting for approval). Important thing, though, I got the Father's Day call from my son. Made my day. Quote
+Nazgul Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Yep, I went out by myself and did a few hours of combined hiking/caching (3 hours, 3 finds) in one of my favorite parks. Had a great time, very relaxing and I needed it... Tonight our little family is going out to dinner, but I've already found the cache that's next to the restaurant. Although........ Quote
+5 Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 I went out caching with my boys today. We had a great time, and found 4 caches in the mountains. Including my 50th find, and my first FTF. Had a blast. Quote
+clearpath Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Just woke up from a HUGE Father's Day nap. No one called...no one bothered me...no one asked me to take out the trash. Yep, me to ... it was awesome. My wife and kids let me nap for 90 mins. without one interruption. When I woke up the pork ribs were ready to pull out of the smoker. I still can not believe it. Heaven on earth. Quote
dampeoples Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 I did indeed go to the lake, found a relatively newly placed cache on the way back too. Kinda sad day though, 2 miles up the lake, a guy drowned while out boating with his sons Quote

+TheNomad Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 My three kids (two girls and a boy), my wife and I went caching today after going out to lunch with my father. It was a fairly slow day though with only three found. But, we had great fun on the three we found! And my 3yr old was insistent that he was going to "lead us out" of the area in which our last cache was found. Lots of fun, relatively no whining - even after a one-mile walk. Happy Fathers Day to all other Fathers! Quote
+rjo Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Did one.. it was my first do not find.. SERVES ME RIGHT! Quote
+Boot Group Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 We found three today (one is a virtual and we're waiting for the ok to post). Three is good day for this young family. We hope all of you had a great Father's Day. Quote
+TotemLake Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 My daughter (JuanitaRebel) and Mrs. TL (which is very rare) went hunting for one with me this morning. A block away from home, I got a call from ClayJar that he was about an hour from the rendevous point and I booked out of there with my family's blessing to meet up with him and the party that was waiting for him. Quote
+BadAndy Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 I went caching solo today. It's fun sometimes to go it alone. I hit a few caches that I would normally avoid with the kids. Good thing too, I tangled with some monster stinging nettle. I'm also expecting a call from my oldest daughter, who is in labor as we speak. I could be a grandpa for fathers day. Quote
+SixTen Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Congrats BadAndy! I went out today with a friend and we found our first TB!...missed a Jeep TB in the same cache by about 1 minute...literally...saw the other couple moving in and we waited a ways back so we couldn't see where they were heading.... But I think finding my first TB is a good Fathers Day present! -SixTen Quote
+Milbank Posted June 21, 2004 Author Posted June 21, 2004 My son and I ended up finding 5 today. Then I took him to one that I had found without him so he could see were it was. Photo's of the day are in my profile. Quote
+chstress53 Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Went out at dawn today with my wife found Two caches both had yellow Jeep 4x4's in them. Best fathers day present. Then we came home for breakfast at 8 am for a more traditional fathers day.! Quote
+1setter Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Caching was my only father's day gift. My wife and I took off at 10 this morning and did a 340 mile loop south and got 4 caches, 3 benchmarks, 2 ticks and 1 picture and coordinates of a silo her father's company built in 1952. Great day. Quote
+Torry Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Found two and got a great meal that I'll be paying for for the next three weeks. Quote
+rutson Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Went out caching with the wife and kids yesterday. Found all twelve we planned and two unscheduled ones. Great day. Quote
+chris-mouse Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 I got to escape for the day to go caching by bicycle again. I managed to find four caches, one of them a 10 stage multi. After 70+ miles of cycling, home was a welcome sight, but I still had a ball. Quote
+The Leprechauns Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Little Leprechaun and I carried out our plan as described above in this post. We found "Hampton" in an epic seven-hour trip (driving, mountain biking and hiking). All that for one smiley face! We had a picnic lunch right at the spot where the photo from my initial post was taken. We took pictures of a yellow jeep travel bug at the same spot, before dropping the YJTB off in the cache. We lingered at the old ghost town of Hampton to explore a little bit before riding back (uphill). Sometimes it is fun to find 20 caches in a day, at a bunch of suburban parks that will blur into one hazy memory. Sometimes it is better to find just one cache, with your daughter along for the adventure, and have a day that you'll remember for a lifetime. Quote
+WVDan Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 My mom, son and I spent the weekend caching. Found 15 for the weekend. Then topped it off with dinner at Ryan's Resturaunt. We had a great time. Quote
Major Catastrophe Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 My wife and I spent the Father's Day weekend at the coast, found 20 caches and got my own total over 50! Plus my first First Find! Yee ha! Quote
+Imajika Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 I did go caching on Father's Day. My hubby went golfing with some friends so I decided to hit a few caches. I didn't realize I was so 'lost' until I looked for this cache! Quote
mortonfox Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 I did go geocaching. It's the weekend, after all. Quote
+leecee Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Went caching on the day with my other half, then went out with my dad yesterday as we'd bought him an etrex for his father's day present Quote
