avroair Posted September 4, 2004 Author Share Posted September 4, 2004 See you all in the AM. Mark - I'm bringing the book. Sounds like another travel bug idea... quick distract him Joe! Link to comment
+JMBella Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Anyone have an ETA for when you'll be getting to the parking lot after the first 5 caches? Might try and join you for the second half but things are still up in the air. Link to comment
avroair Posted September 4, 2004 Author Share Posted September 4, 2004 Not sure Joe, but you can wait in the parking lot and call us on the radio. Probably 2 hours. Link to comment
+JMBella Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 (edited) Not sure Joe, but you can wait in the parking lot and call us on the radio. Probably 2 hours. That might work out perfectly. I'll plan on getting there around 10:30 or so. If you end up being a little later we'll go grab the closest cache and come back. 99.999% sure we'll see you tomorrow!! edit: I'm 9.99% sure now. Cryin' out loud! Someone make up my mind!!! I guess I'll just decide what I'm doing whebn I wake up. Edited September 4, 2004 by JMBella Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Anyone have an ETA for when you'll be getting to the parking lot after the first 5 caches? Might try and join you for the second half but things are still up in the air. If we go at the same pace Quoddy and I went out, we'll be back to the parking lot around 3 hrs 15 mins after we start. Assuming we start at 9, that puts us back to the lot around noon time. If you do decide to meet us, and you need something to do before we get there, do the 1st cache on our list which is GC50EE which is .2 miles or so on the left as you enter the parking lot. If you still have more time, hike up the ski slope directly in front of you as you enter the parking lot and find GC992E and wait for us there as it's the cache we do before heading down the slope to the parking lot. Hope to see you there tomorrow. And I hope you're not coming late because you didn't want to drive with Squealy! David Link to comment
+BlackBuck Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I woke up this morning with poison ivy on my foot,so no hiking for me today. Link to comment
avroair Posted September 4, 2004 Author Share Posted September 4, 2004 Wow great day. We started at 9:20 a.m. and finished the first loop by noon. Then onto the second loop and then a bushwhack and the last cache (Lurker) was amazing! All told we got back to our cars again at 5:20 p.m. Just over 10 miles. And I am beat! Link to comment
+IntotheWoods Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 A good time indeed. Great to meet you, avroair (and the rest of you geocaching fools)! Caching in a group definitely helps the motivation--I shattered my one-day total today! Hope to see you all again soon... Todd Link to comment
+Squealy Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Yep, another great day. Thanks Avro for getting it started. Now eveyone pray my knee doesn't explode - thanks for the drugs, Dave. See eveyone soon! -Squealy Link to comment
+dhenninger Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Great day! Thanks Avroair! Link to comment
+Team Shibby Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Today was fun, we covered lots of ground and found lots of caches! Great seeing everyone again and meeting InToTheWoods and the Tick Magnets! Now I have 13 caches to go log Kar of TS!! Link to comment
+Tick Magnets Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 (edited) Thanks so much! Our 1st group hike had a blast!! Don't think I'll be able to walk until next week but would do again in a secound. Both my son and I really enjoyed everyones company and picked up some good pointers. THANKS AGAIN!!

avroair Posted September 5, 2004 Author Share Posted September 5, 2004 Wife found a very small deer tick on me today. Guess they do have them at Harriman. It hadn't burrowed in yet. Link to comment
+Team Rampant Lion Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 HOT STOCK TIP!! Buy stocks in Chattem, makers of ICYHOT. I think I've gone through three tubes already this morning. It was a great hike! Enjoyed the whole day. Sorry we had to duck out for the last two but my son had reached his limit. Rather than ruin the potential for a future StayFloopy type legend, we decided to pull out as he had been a great trooper to that point. I posted our path in both arial and topo format on the Silver Mine (GC50EE) log. Doesn't include The Lurker and Silvermine Overlook but gives a good sense of the day. Thanks again Avroair.

+ergo46 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 My son an I had a great time caching with every one. Thanks Avroair. Link to comment
avroair Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 Ergo46 you are the most fortuitious and patient cacher I have ever met. Carrying your 7 year old on your shoulders for 3 miles along the trail. Hats off to ya. I would probaby leave him at home for the Lake Welch hike, it terrain won't be any better! Link to comment
