Poison Oak Cachers

[+slmslo]

I tried to take some picks in a casino years ago and was quickly told to stop. But if you use say a phone camera and are very quick you might get away with it.

 

I decided to drop the TB at a cache in Vegas. The ODDS are good that someone else will be able to deal with this dilemma. But thanks for verifying what I suspected.

[+slmslo]

Those cache containers sound like great micros... Use them wisely! 75 whew! I'll have to get some from you at the next shindig. Maybe you & yours can come over to the Condor Lookout event I just put up for next weekend. Hi Mountain Condor Lookout 10-Year Anniversary

 

Darn, I won't be in town for this event. I've done a little birding and I've read some books about the condor project. I developed an interest in condors and all threatened species after I got involved rehabilitating injured and orphaned wildlife in SLO county. I took in a Peregrine Falcon once. Unfortunately it died. So this event would have been a perfect blending of a few of my hobbies/interests (i.e. geocaching/birding/wildlife rescue). Well, I'm sure there will be another wonderful opportunity to meet fellow SLO geocachers.

Hey, I was thinking about this summer and conducting some advance planning of a Poison Oak Cachers Event for mid-July.

 

Say July 15th? 22nd?

 

Cuesta Park?

Your forum title caught my eye. We grow some mighty fine Poison Oak here in Oregon.

Only way I survive is washing with Tecnu everyday. Stuff is awesome!

A July meet & greet sounds good to us.

 

Have been busy camping the last three weekends and have not had much time to geocache or do forums but now things are getting a bit less crazy.

[+LOSt OSOS]

I am out of town on the 22nd. Got to save the nation once again.

[+pointsaljim]

Just wanted to say that yesterday's geocaching learning event taught to students of the OLLI extension program of Cal Poly was nicely done by Geo_cats and Oreo Pony! I think several of the students have already registered on geocaching.com. The event was in Irish Hills and the weather was very cooperative: sunny, but not hot or windy. I unfortunately do not remember all of your names, but welcome Ohsoslo and mother oak One thing we learned, is that most of us are all Garmin users, we couldn't figure out how to get Ohsoslo's Magellan to operate

 

P.S. We also placed a new cache in the Irish Hills, "Olli, this is another fine mess you've gotten us into". Look for it to be posted soon!!!

Just wanted to announce that one of our own, BooBooBee, has published a great new book titled, "Best Family Adventures: San Luis Obispo County" which is filled with all kinds of FUN family activities for young and old ranging from great hikes to museums, a turtle rescue farm, art galleries, craft places, water activities, etc. I've got my copy and already I've discovered all kinds of COOL new places to hide caches!!! It is currently available at The Novel Experience and Mountain Air Sports in downtown SLO or you can get it at www.bestfamilyadventures.com.

Hello Poison Oak Cachers.

 

My caching partner Babaganoosh just graduated from Cal Poly, which means that I won't be in the San Luis Obispo area as often as I normally am. Due to this, I wanted to know if anyone has the desire to adopt my Costco Hiden Gate Cache, GCQTF6, before I archive it. Besides a new log, it has hardly required any maintenance. Just thought I'd throw it out there to see if there is any interest. Let me know.

Hi 4Backrd,

Congratulations to Babaganoosh. I live near your cache, and my other cache, Stumpview (which you and Babaganoosh visited) isn't too far, either. If you'd like, I could adopt your cache. Just let me know what I need to do.

Howdy All! Long time no chat. It's been a bit hectic down here, but PointSalJim has been keeping things in order for area cachers. (Thanks HEAPS, PSJ!) When it finally came time to log back on to the group, I couldn't get in! It seems groundspeaks' changes included software that couldn't cope with my old password (sigh).

 

So...what's new? Where has everyone been? (I heard something about caching events going on and wondered why the heck I hadn't heard...goes back to that password failure...ah well). It's MIGHTY quiet out here!

[+Oreo Pony]

Hi there BBB

 

So glad you've found your way back to the computer. It's sure been quiet without you!

 

Got a booksigning this weekend? Got to see it the other day when hiking with PtSalJim. Can't wait to get my signed copy. Maybe we'll see you Saturday.

 

OP

[+KKTH3]

Heading back to my old school, CPSUSLO, in August and staying for a week. We will be bringing the GPSr with us and probably have a bit of time for caching. I'll probably take my boy on some of the hikes I used to regularily do when I was in college and we may even take my wife's aunt on a hunt or two, but that would have to be a terrain 1 event. So what are the must-do caches? Anything we should avoid? Anyway, looking forward to our upcoming trip - haven't been through the area for at least 5 years. I'm sure a lot has changed.

BTW, what's the progress on OLLI cache? Was that gal going to list it?

[+pointsaljim]

I vote for the 22nd also 'cause I want to do the Renaissance Fair at El Chorro on the 15th and I'll finally move Glyfie's Delight to a more delighful location, (too many complaints about poison oak!) PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO HELP OUT And, what about the OLLI cache? I keep lookin' for it to be posted....

 

On another note, Suebee, Riley, and I planted a new cache yesterday, way, way up Huasna Rd in the vicinity of Stony Creek campground: Pine Ridge View cache. Some really, really cool rock formations shaped like animals...reminiscent of C'ISHUMU'.

Whew! Finally got an event page in for approval for 11 am on the 22nd! What a hectic summer for us so far. I've requested a spot at Cuesta Park, but might not get it. We'll see - I'll post more when City Rec replies.

I haven't received an email from Judy regarding setting up the Irish Hills cache. I requested her email from OLLI, but have not received it yet. I'll send another.

Hello folks,

 

I have a cache placed along Hwy 166 about 15 miles east of Twitchell Resrvoir. Although I do not anticipate needing assistance as I make this trip several times a year, it would be good to identify a cacher to help maintain it if an emergency did arise.

 

Note: I am a graduate of Arroyo Grande High School (1976), so I just might have vague memories of one or two of you.

We will be there. Rikki may have two functions going and be driving between them but I plan to be there and will bring something but I'll wait to see what items may be needed and fill in with whatever is required.

Hi, Rikki and I went to a movie this weekend that we highly recommend for all to see. Not only is it very interesting and entertaining but very educational It details the changes happening to our earth and how it will affect us and our children, grandchildren and beyond. This movie is a must see for all who care about our earth and the animals and plants that share it with us.

WHEW! Got back to the computer...well, have been camped here for MONTHS, but the gc thing seems to have been in park. IN FACT, only received notice of THIS June 21 post today (July 17). SIGH (again).

 

Working on family schedule in hopes of making the picnic. We're supposed to be headed out of town that day...will work on it. THanks, OP, for arranging this! BTW: is the picnic bench you reserved Arroyo? We had that area yesterday for a group gathering (class reunion - slohigh '86). Not enough shade (come prepared) and blistering hot (even by north county standards). We ended up in the creek.

I was unable to reserve an area, but have rented a banquet table for our potluck goodies. We can set it up wherever the shade is and hang out in the creek too. There is a Compass Health company picnic there starting at 11:30 and I've spoken with the coordinator, Liz. They're completely willing to share the space with our group.

 

Also, I'm going to print up a banner for our table, so be on the lookout for that.

The Poison Oak Cacher's " FUN IN THE SUN" picnic was both today, with the added bonus of being able to cool off in the creek or have Digger blast you with his soaker Thanks OREO PONY for organizing this event Thanks Geocats for the cool Poison Oak Cacher Buttons!

Look forward to the next event....I'll try to organize one this fall down this way....maybe in Nipomo at one of Naturesprite's sanctuaries.

Just a suggestion to other POC (and other readers).

The bookmark list feature is useful in that you can bookmark your favorite caches and make them public so that when a person views one of the caches that is in your favorites list they can see that it is a favorite and they can click on the link and see your other favorites. This is a good way to help other cachers to find the best caches in the area if they are visitors short time or just your fellow cachers wanting to visit the better caches first. I would like to encourage you to go over the list of all your found caches in your profile and bookmark the ones that you think are terrific. (Don't be shy, list some of your own if you think they are good ones.)

[+pointsaljim]

Hey POC

 

I regret to inform everyone that I will NOT be able to organize/host an event until after the beginning of the year: my oldest daughter is getting married in December, soooo...we have a lot of work to do to get ready for it! (After the successful Fun-in-the-Sun event in July I posted that I would try to get something organized this fall)

 

I will still however, try to squeeze in some caching time though....really want to do Whaler's Island in November when the tide is low...Goldenretrievers mentioned it to me, and I think I will give M is for Mystery a try.

 

I can highly recommend Geo_Cats "Squirrels Nest Cache" as being very unique and cool!! In fact, I did the whole Pine Mountan Loop with him last Saturday and totally dug the whole experience!

It WAS fun and I like climbing Pine Mountain. It is a lovely area with lots of fine trails.

 

We're going camping next weekend at San Simeon State Park and will doubtless do a bit of geocaching in the area. Does anyone have any favorites in that area and north into Big Sur?

Geocats, Salmo Rivulus by Naturesprite is a cache I would recommend AND be sure to hike on up to the falls which are just a very short hike away. If you're willling to do a little bit of minor boulder climbing to get real close to the falls, you will be find it to definitely be worth it!

A new cacher emailed me asking for a list of recommended kid-friendly caches that involve a hike of some sort. I thought I'd share my response here. Perhaps others could add some, too. (I'm not so strong in the north county and i know there are some fantastic hike caches there.)

 

Here's my response to him:

Well, it looks like my premium membership has expired, so I can't bookmark. So here's a list instead. Look for these waypoints for some kid-friendly walks to caches. Some are difficult, some are easy (too easy). My favorite is probably Reservoir Canyon (long hike up creek in beautiful canyon), though just about anything by Maasmen is fantastic kid fodder!

Actually, I for one find poison oak to be very pretty, especially at this time of year when it has all of it's colors. That said, I USE to occasionally aquire semi-bad cases, sometimes even requiring me to have to get treatment from a doctor, BUT, I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE:

 

FOR OVER 3 MONTHS NOW I HAVE BEEN USING AN ORAL HOMEOPATHIC POISON OAK PROTECTOR AND HAVE NOT HAD ONE CASE OF PO, even though I KNOW that I have brushed up against it with bare sweaty skin on several occasions. The provider of this MAGICAL potion is none other than THE BETTER HALF OF GEO_CATS, who happens to work for the doctor who concocted it. It even actually has some poison oak in the elixir!

Oh yeah, and one more kid friendly cache....BooBooBee's Fairpark Find in Santa Maria. Someone might make a case for BooBooBee's Rock-n-Roll cache, SINCE SHE DID PLACE IT WITH HER VERY YOUNG KIDS, but that's only because BooBooBee's quite an experienced Jeeper.......I hiked to Rock-n-Roll cache and almost didn't make it back alive!!!

Anyone interested in going to the Whaler's Island cache on Monday, Nov 6? At 4:45 P.M. the tide will be minus 1.3 which is low enough to walk to the island according to the cache description. I'm gonna start walking about 4 p.m. which should give me enough time to get there and get back before the tide gets too high. Goldenretrievers mentioned it to me a couple of months ago. I think that they want to go. How

'bout it Oreo Pony and Geo_cats? Anyone else?

Anyone interested in going to the Whaler's Island cache on Monday, Nov 6?

Oooh! Oooh! We want to go! We want to go!

However, what is the pace going to be. The girls can be pretty fast now, but I don't know if this is a jog n' grab to beat the tide or if this is one that we can meander.

 

I'd love to grab this cache, and doing it with the group would be awesome! Come on Cats n' Pony!

I DID forget to include my own caches in the kid friendly list. Duh! (Blame it on the hair.)

 

All BooBooBee caches are kid friendly, though the hat trick (KL&N) requires good set of legs and was NOT set with my small children in tow. Rock n' Roll is doable with an older teen with spirit (or a 4x4 with high clearance and kids with ability to walk a short distance on dirt).

Are the poison oak cachers partial to poison oak or something?

 

When we were coming up with a name, it occured to us that no cacher on the Central Coast goes unscarred by PointSalJim's "pretty plant." The name was actually suggested by my husband (who's TERRIBLY allergic to poison oak) under his breath, but I thought it was funny, so I suggested it aloud. To our surprise, the group liked it! (I guess we could all relate!)

 

The intention kind of reflects the jocular spirit of our group.
