Yes you did get this one just in time as all permits have been cancelled now.

Wow! Glad I got the peak year ago!

Another article I read mentioned they were worried about flying rocks along the rim.

I don't know... sounds like maybe just add another couple of stars to the difficulty.

It's probably just Nolenators kite still bumping the sesmic sensor

2.5k · September 27, 2004

Are you telling us that Nolenator did not trash out that kite.

For shame

September 27, 2004

According to the latest news.. maybe just maybe that will become a 'valley' walk.

Now, now guys don't get all in a bunch over misinformation. Even though I spent most of my time on the rim retrieving my parafoil kite, I indeed retrieved the kite and all the line. Peace, Nolenator

I also climbed down 200 feet to a glacier to grab my hat when it blew off my head, so that's not it either.

No it's not really necessary...if you do anything, just use the temporarily disabled option.

Yeah, depending on what happens to coords might change a bit

Sounds like the cache needs to be upped to a 5/5. Special equipment and access required. <_<

ok, my flight from San Jose to Seattle takes me right by there...... :blink: .

I still have a bag of ash from the origianl blow; maybe I should rub it for good luck? <_<

No, but you might want to head over there to try and catch Frodo.

Well, my Precious is still on his way to Bag End, so hopefully Above the Clouds will be open again by the time it gets there and back again.

Oh no! Your presious destination is disabled and on it's way to being archived

If the mountain blows, the cache might actually beat the travel bug to New York.

(Thanks for pointing it out. I'll put Bags End on my watch list to see what happens.)

I think you all might find this interesting: http://www.pnsn.org/HELENS/mshfigs.html

Look at the bottom three graphs.

Also of interest, there was another earthquake tonight at 8pm 20 miles SE of Glacier Peak at near surface depth. 2.0 or the R scale. Wonder what that was about.

2.5k · September 30, 2004

More than likely not related, but there is a theory that all the Cascade volcanos share one big magma pool. Not too many people believe that though. The evidence is just not there. This link shows all quakes greater than or equal to 2.0. It does not show the one you mentioned. It must have been downgraded to 1.9

September 30, 2004

Glad you guys made it when you did. You're awsome!

For those who are interested this website will show current conditions on the forest service webcam. The webcam is located about 5 miles north of the crater.

Interesting. I tried to check my link, but it only shows the last 20 quakes and all of them are today at Mt. St. Helens. Some above 3.0. Something is really going on down south.

Here's a link to a good listing and map of recent earthquakes at St. Helens:

No need. The friendly local reviewer from frickin' Iceland and Estonia will go ahead and do that for you. :mad:

What's the idea of having regional reviewers again?

Yes, I have no problem with disableing it, but I found it rather disrespectful for an approver from iceland to take it upon himself to do this and espcially without EMAILING ME first! :mad:

Wow! that is disrespectful. That would piss me off too.

Hmmm... Isn't the reason for local reviewers so that situations like this doesn't happen? Peace, Nolenator

October 4, 2004

If you had done enough research or were local you would have noticed that the forest service has closed all roads and trails in the area where it might be dangerous. The local county sheriff's office has manned roadblocks on these roads.

Also you have to have a permit to climb on the mountain and all of these have also been cancelled.

October 4, 2004

TN, don't be mislead we really are nice folks here in the Northwest. Peace, Nolenator

Hmmm, well, the main reason for local reviewers is to share the load of looooong review queue to many persons - to get your caches listed faster.

Cheers, Tahu Nuva

Both of our local reviewers have posts on this thread, one just a few posts up, so they are well aware of this situation, and doubt they need a lot of help from Iceland.

October 4, 2004

Okay TN we realize you kinda over stepped your bounds and you have apologzed to us. So let's just play nice now.

Tell ya what if you are ever in Washington State. Maybe we can take you "Lava Surfing" on St. Helens.

P.S. I'm a bit of a Smart ***.

Hey, there was an earthquake on Mt. Hood this morning, does that mean that all caches in Portland will be disabled by someone from another country too? He disabled ten caches. Did he allow any of them to do it themselves?

Hey TN... if you ever find yourself over in these parts, I'd certainly enjoy a hike with you.

I apologize here too!

Thanks for stopping by and filling us in on your thought process in this matter.

I'm sure that everyone in this thread shares your concern for the local caches and anyone who may be interested in hunting them. I'm going to ask that we all move past this and go back to the volcano watch. The caches can be reactivated when the government starts letting people back into the area.

October 4, 2004

Wow. I'm pretty surprised that someone would just do that without asking or even an email comment.

October 4, 2004

So just because I am still a bit new: If an approver disables a cache, then it can not be opened back up by the owner? The disabling approver would have to do that? Am I correct? And how do you get to be an approver with no finds? Really, I am not trying to stir the sh*t here, just curious. I would love to be an approver but figured I had better get more finds/placements under my belt before even looking into it.

Thanks.

October 4, 2004

Great, you guys have gone and upset the volcano. Now it's erupting again. (Another wussy one, that is!)

Actually, a disabled cache is easily re-enabled by the owner. It's when the cache is archived that you will need the approver's help in unarchiving the cache.

Read disabled as temporary and archived as permanent.

Most reviewers have a seperate account that is used for reviewing only. Team Misguided for example is a husband/wife team and we each have a seperate player account. Reviewers are picked from the local community by the other admins when a need develops. Those picked are typically established cachers that are active in their local geocaching community/club.

Looks like this one is just another *burp*.

Although past performance is not an indication of future performance, I might note that in 1980 the first steam eruption was in late March or early April and the big eruption was not until May 18. I doubt this will take that long this time, but volcanos have their own time schedule and burps are likely for a bit.

Yep, true, as I don't live in Iceland (but in the land from where the Nokia mobile phones, Teemu Selänne and Kimi Räikkönen come...)

I go LG and the NHL is locked out.

The approver of Iceland. Iceland. Whatever.

I agree with TMG --> Volcano and associated cache watch.
