+Team Tigger International Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 Congratulations to Trickworm on his 100th find at Indian Spirit Quest #195--Hanging Rock. It took him numerous tries, but persistence pays off. To those of you who found the cache at Hanging Rock on the Wabash River (When it was called "Just Hanging Around"), it is now re-hidden in the same spot, and we will grant smilies to previous finders who want to visit again and sign the new log, but ONLY repeat ONLY if you take a pic of yourself at the summit and post it with your log... http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...b6-6ec27174606e Yeah , We have been there , we have stories about that one .. and now you want us to do it again ! I have issues with high places don't you know .. But of course that is not gonna stop us from going back again ! Star Quote Link to comment

Phantom_Dog Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Has anyone noticed the rash of lame micros going up in NW Ohio? It looks they are fortifying a wall of film canisters along the Ohio side of the State line to bore ISQers out of going to the Geobash. Quote Link to comment

+Team Shydog Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I was thinking a Team Shydog shirt was in order for the Geobash, might have to put my time and effort into a ISQ shirt. Maybe the ISQ logo on back and a "No Lame Cache Pages Allowed" on front. just a thought. Anyone else scared of phantom dog? Quote Link to comment

Earthdog Patrick Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 hehehe ... new signal just had to share ! Star He must be watching episode three--Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith--now in our opinion the Original Star Wars, in 1977, is a classic that's on our list of top ten films of all times, which includes Casablanca at number one and every movie Angelina Jolie Voight was ever in...Having said that--This new movie makes all five previous Star Wars films pale in insignificance--THe special effects are awesome--Now the Epic Saga of Darth Vader's fall to the dark side and eventual redemption is complete!! May the force be with you, Signal! ( I know Wulf will disagree with me, since his all time favorite movie is Ernest Goes to Camp, which I must agree is a respectable Number 42 on our list...).

From the ISQ News Service in West Bippus, Indiana: kidCraZy and Pharoah's Man and Eagle Eye have set a One-Day Record for finding Indiana Spirit Quest caches on Saturday, May 28th, 2005 with an astounding 70 smilies, bettering Jplus14's one day record by six!! They visisted five counties and traveled 240 miles in their Quest. They cached for Fourteen hours, twenty six minutes, for an average of 12.37 minutes per cache. Congratulations, Champions!!! Wait, hold on, more breaking news, just coming in: 4damfam, WilliamsFamGC, HoleN1 and LoLoLoco have just reported that they found, on Monday, May 30th 2005: 102 ISQ caches!!! They spent 18 hours 15 minutes at the task, for an atounding 10.73 minutes per cache average! Unbelievable!!!! ?They broke kidCraZy's record by 32!! Did they leave an American Flag at each cemetery--you bet they did!!!! CONGRATUALTIONS TO ALL YOU INSANE GEOCACHERS!!! AND -- more impressively--SixDogTeam and Earthdog Patrick found an amazing TWO ISQ's to bring their total to (ta-dah) FOUR!!! Edited May 31, 2005 by SixDogTeam Quote Link to comment
+Team Shydog Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Great job to all the cachers that found an insane amount of ISQ caches this weekend. i had thought about making a run at the record on my vacation, but the bar is set to high for me now. I will just have to settle for trying to get as many as I can. Thanks for taking the pressure off. Quote Link to comment
Rupert2 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Wow! I was getting ready to comment on how quite my ISQs were over the holiday weekend. It sounds like things were very active up in the northlands! Congratulations all. We will all have to go out and hide some more to give these guys something to chase... Quote Link to comment
+SixDogTeam Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) Well, this certainly was a banner weekend for ISQ seekers. We have literally hundreds of email logs to sift thru...Thanks to all Geocachers who visited our cemeteries this Memorial Day weekend, and a special thanks to those who left American Flags. The Indiana Spirit Quest series of caches pays special homage to those Americans who have served their country in time of war. We try to point out these veterans to you, especially those of the older wars such as the American Revolution, War of 1812, Indian Wars and Civil War. But these veterans, who served their enlistments and were mustered out of the service, From the Revolution to Iraq,have their day in November. Originally Armistice Day, to commemorate the ending of World War I, it is now called Veterans day to honor the service of all Veterans. But Memorial Day is not a day for veterans. It is a day for those who gave the last full measure of devotion to their country.It was originally called Decoration Day, to decorate with flowers the graves of those Union soldiers and sailors who were killed in action or died of disease in the Civil War. Now called Memorial day, it is a time to refelect and honor our cherished dead from all wars. Most of the servicemens' graves you encounter on the Spirit Quest are those of Veterans. Battle casualties from the earlier wars are usually interred near where they fell, in the case of the Civil War down south, or the World Wars in Europe, for example. In more recent wars, Vietnam, for example, a very high percentage of the KIA's bodies were recovered, so they are buried in their home town cemeteries for the most part. Vietnam War remains are still being discovered and identified in Southeast Asia, and several have been buried in the U.S. this year, over thirty years since they were listed as MIA or KIA... So, If you find a government bronze marker for a serviceman and it reads "Vietnam", and he died prior to 1975 and it reads "PH" for Purple Heart, it's a good bet you've found the grave of a soldier killed in Action in that war. Anyway thanks again to all you Geocachers who honored our Nations's fallen heroes with a flag or a salute or a quiet prayer this past weekend while on the Quest!! --Lead Dog & Earthdog Patrick Edited May 31, 2005 by SixDogTeam Quote Link to comment

Rupert2 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Star, If it makes you feel any better, I was burgled too late last week (only not while caching). I was swimming with the youngest K and my locker was broken into. Not only did have to wait for an hour for the cops to get there holding a wet 2-year old but, they sent a woman cop who was not about to enter the men’s changing room. Wait another hour… I guess it could have been worse, they could have taken my clothes. There are some DRBs out there. They got all my $ and my cell phone. Now I don't have to worry about my wife calling while I am caching! Quote Link to comment

Earthdog Patrick Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I've been offered an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an exciting new financial deal that would require my moving to Miami. Before considering the move, can anybody tell me what "thirty-five large" is? Is that HUNDRED or THOUSAND?

+LoLoLoco Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 But Memorial Day is not a day for veterans. It is a day for those who gave the last full measure of devotion to their country.It was originally called Decoration Day, to decorate with flowers the graves of those Union soldiers and sailors who were killed in action or died of disease in the Civil War. Now called Memorial day, it is a time to refelect and honor our cherished dead from all wars. One thing that I do on Memorial Day and Veterans Day is remember those that have not returned home. On each stop (and especially the War Memorial Wall ISQ) I remember the pilot whose name stays on my wrist in the form of a POW/MIA bracelet. He still has not returned home as his plane went down without a trace far inside North Vietnam while on a recon night flight. While the Pentagon and foreign governments work together to find the remains of those that are MIA, it is an on-going process. The most recent was yesterday (10 Jun 05) where he disappeared Feb 3, 1966. But, there are about 88,000 total MIAs from all US conflicts. That is a large number of US sons (and daughters in a few cases) that still need to come home. In most cases, MIAs are now considered to be deceased. But, at least we can bring them home for a proper burial with family and friends available to pay their last respects. Quote Link to comment
+LoLoLoco Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 what "thirty-five large" is? "Thirty-Five Large", if I remember correctly, is referring to $35,000. The "Large" is slang for "thousand" when referrenced to money. Quote Link to comment

We had been planning our Memorial Day ISQ Marathon for several weeks and when we were at the Spring Picnic you mentioned that you were thinking about going for the record. I almost let our plans slip, but decided to keep the keep quiet. Half way through the day on Memorial day we still weren't sure we were going to reach our '100 ISQs' goal. Quote Link to comment
