He's got a little blue plastic sled he says he's going to put me in and drag me. He just finished attaching 600' of polypropalene rope to a come-a-long. He says he can winch us to safety with it, if we get stuck. If he hadn't hidden the phones(when I rang up that big bill calling precious late at night) I could dial 911 and have them haul him awaay to the looney bin... Star Quote Link to comment
+Team Tigger International Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 What just happened to all of our posts from today? I don't think we were off-topic... I could probaly pull off the FTF list in a couple hours. I'm in a good mood. Can't be geocaching all the time, so something to do indoors. They are still there doug ... but if you are using netscape like I tend to do they sometimes "appear" to disappear ... what you have to do to "see" them is open the horrible browser that is known as IE and then you can see them all . I am not sure why this happens ... I have just noticed this problem before .... Try it you will see what I mean . Star Quote Link to comment
+dougsmiley Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) The forums seem screwy to you? Did they fall back to a backup or something? Theres about 7 or 8 posts that just disappeared.. I know not all of them were off topic... Edited February 3, 2006 by dougsmiley Quote Link to comment

Like I stated above though if you open the topic in the dreaded IE browser .. all the dissapearing posts , will reappear . They just dont reappear in any other browser ... weird but true !

Miss Eagerbeaver Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hey! I'm confused... how do I get pictures on my reply? Can anyone please help me? Please, please help me! It seems to say I must have some sort of url. I don't even know what that means!?! HELP! I need somebody. HELP! Not just anybody. HELP! I need somebody HEEELLLPPPP! Quote Link to comment
+Team Tigger International Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) The URL you need is the location of said picture you wish to post ... URL = www. whateverthepictureis.com..... For instance if you right click on the picture of Patrick in his last escapades , you have the option to "view Image" ... this will give you the URL to the location of the image as well which will read something like this : http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/log/c37f0...952467933eb.jpg you then post that in the IMG URL and you get : Hope this helps ya Miss E !!!!

+IndyTechNerd Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I love that picture. If only my dog were as cool as Patrick. I don't think she'd stand still long enough for me to take her picture. The one I got was only because she was waiting for me to open the door to let her outside. Quote Link to comment

Be a great way to go Geocaching in Indiana , that is if we had a lot of snow ! Star Lead Dog has a collection of DVD's and VHS's of every movie ever made that he can find on sled dogs--about three feet long--I have to wait til they go to video or come to the drive-in... By the way, did you know we're getting a bunch of ISQ found it logs from CCCooper Agency Just coming in now... We've hit the BigTime!! Quote Link to comment
+TEAM RETRIEVER Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Here's an interesting log I came across today while checking the status of the caches near the '06 Spring Picnic: []January 16 by TEAM RETRIEVER (53 found) Started out this morning with a plan to find the remaining 16 caches in the Dead End series that I needed (already found 16 thru 21). My brother, "He Dog", thought it sounded like fun, so he tagged along. Started with the newest, number 22 ("He Dog" got his first FTF), and then hit 1 thru 15 in order. Found all of them except numbers 12 and 13 (see my post on those cache pages). Thanks so much for this entire series, Trickworm! I've explored so many areas of the reservoirs that I never knew existed. Too bad so many losers have to litter on all of these dead ends. Maybe us Huntington area cachers should plan a C.I.T.O. event! LOL! Captain Retriever TEAM RETRIEVER Are you volunteering, Captain? Thanks, that's GREAT. I'll be willing to help you with it, if you want! Where did you have in mind for the site? HAC --Huntington Area Cachers--is that a group I should know about, or is it a secret Caching Fraternity like Pinetrails' BAGO (Bippus Area Geocachers Org.)? Why did I just now see this?!!!? LOL! LeadDog, shoot me an e-mail and we'll discuss it. I'm not sure how to or where to start planning such an event. Quote Link to comment

Good caching day for me today. I hit the new P.P.S.S #9 over by work after checking it out last night on the way home. Night time is definitely the best time to hit that cache, very cool. And, I found A Tribute to BadMajec! Needless to say, all of the people exiting I-465 onto 71st St. saw my touchdown dance. That one has been taunting me for a while now. Quote Link to comment

We've had a flurry of new caches in South Bend/Mishawaka area lately, but overall, I think all you folks south of us of more active -- hiding and seeking! PS: Three of four new caches approved! I needed some snow to cover my tracks on the fourth one, which we got last night. I'm guessing that one will go active soon now. Quote Link to comment
Earthdog Patrick Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I was FTF on a Trickworm Dead End cache this morning. I expected to meet Team Retreiver and Abby there but they were no shows... 17 degrees and snow on the ground. Nice two-mile hike, the kind I like!!! Hey Wulf, does Canada have a Vice President, or is it a KING or what? Do they allow their VP to go around with a shotgun and plug people in the face? HAPPY ABE LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY!!
