+Lord Elwood Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Geocaching has been a little slow for me lately as family has monopolized my time. A 2 year old and a 6 week old will do that!! But I'm dropping the kids off at Grandma's this weekend and hitting a ton of caches at the Fall Picnic. Quote
Mr. TSP Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 I am busy working and hiding caches. The writeup is time consuming. Those of you who have hunted around Potawatomi Wildlfie Park will find that all are being archived and I have 11 going online soon hopefully. I have 6 yet to write up. Plan is to have all published at once. Should make for a day at the park. Mike, Let me know if you want me to archive Potawatomi Wilderness now and free up the space for new caches. If these new ones are listed before this Sunday I may have to come down there to grab all of them. Quote

If we complete all 11, will you be there to toast us with a glass of cool Cabernet? You ought to host a luncheon event, we could all come, eat, then attack the caches.... Quote
+gunpowder Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 I am still working on a few. I had a park fishing event today and it threw me for a few hours to recover this afternoon so I only worked an hour on the caches. We planned for 50 participants and had 153. Wondered about a picnic or something sometime. Quote

I got WildRumpus's TB's today. Will drop them in my new hides. Edited September 10, 2006 by gunpowder Quote
+Team Tigger International Posted September 11, 2006 Author Posted September 11, 2006 Potawatomi Wildlfie Park is a wonderful Park ! We have been there several times and one was for an Event that was held there with FULL SUPPORT by the Parks People ! They even donated to the prize table ! Star Quote
+ClayC Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Hello! Just starting doing some actually caching after "watching" for a while. Im located in Terre Haute, and still just getting the basics down by finding all the caches close to my house (for the most part!). fun so far! Clay Quote
+Team Shydog Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Welcome ClayC, I hope you enjoy Caching in Indiana as much as we do. Chris-Team Shydog Quote

I had a park fishing event today and it threw me for a few hours to recover this afternoon so I only worked an hour on the caches. We planned for 50 participants and had 153. Wondered about a picnic or something sometime. Potawatomi Wildlfie Park has been high on my priority list for some time. Since most of my caching is of the "just happened to be in the neighborhood" variety, I have not made it there yet. If you put on an event (and pending any significant schedule conflicts) I will be there. Hello! Just starting doing some actually caching after "watching" for a while. Im located in Terre Haute, and still just getting the basics down by finding all the caches close to my house (for the most part!). fun so far! Clay Welcome ClayC! I am sure you will find this sport quite addictive. Terre Haute and Vigo County have a TON of caches to keep you busy. That is another high priority desitnation on my long "must do" list. Quote
+CelticFC Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Hey ClayC! I just recently got into Geocaching and I am hooked! Good to have you on board! Quote
+Deermark Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Welcome ClayC. If you want to do a little hiking with a bunch of weirdos come and join on us Sept 23. Check out GCXEN6. The TrailMix has been averaging about 25 cachers. Don't forget I always supply free Poptarts. What can be better than that? Deermark Quote
+Team Tigger International Posted September 12, 2006 Author Posted September 12, 2006 Welcome to the obsession Clay C!!! Star Quote
+ClayC Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Hiya, Clay! Got anything to eat? Hello! Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, and an addiction is it!! as for something to eat, Im sure I can find something, but if you ever meet me you will realize Ive probably already ate it myself! Quote
+ClayC Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Want some peanuts? Mmmmmmmm peanuts, what kind? Quote
+Torry Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Want some peanuts? Mmmmmmmm peanuts, what kind? They used to be chocolate covered. I only wanted the chocolate. Quote

+pfeng Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 New Indiana geocaching family here -- started a couple weeks ago, found a few, and now hopelessly addicted Just wanted to pop in and say hi. (I'll pass on those peanuts...) Quote

+SweetBell Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Hello everyone! I am rather new at all of this but it looks like this forum is where I belong. We are from New Carlisle IN. This article was in the South Bend Tribune today. State Wide Geocaching Event I am wondering if any of you know where I can get more information about this? It sounds like these are seperate from regular caches that are already placed, however I can't seem to find any info or coordinates. The links in the article aren't much help. Help!! (That is sheer desperation coming from a new addict) We are camping at Turkey Run on the 16th and 17th and are hoping to do some geocaching in the area and maybe get started on the state park quest too. Thanks Quote

+Lord Elwood Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 You can also check out the IDNR's website at Fall into Geocaching. The information is limited at this point, but will be pubil sometime on Friday. Enjoy and welcome to the madness!!! Quote
+gunpowder Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Having PR as part of my job I wonder if the IDNR contest isn't a PR stunt to counter reaction to the permit issue. Why else would they do it? Quote
+Lord Elwood Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Because the person who thought it up is a Geocacher!!! And yes, I know who thought it up. And no it's not a reaction to the permits. It's merely a way that the IDNR can support geocaching. Quote
+Team Tigger International Posted September 14, 2006 Author Posted September 14, 2006 The Metro Parks system in Michigan has been doing it for years . Quote
+ClayC Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Everyone, the IDNR State Park caches are up! Check them out here in their profile: http://www.geocaching.com/profile/Default....08-91609bdf7f95 Quote
Pokagon Nature Center Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 FAQ for the Series is posted here: Fall Into Geocaching FAQ Pages have already been bookmarked by Wolverine Warriors Quote

It's merely a way that the IDNR can support geocaching. Its good for PR anyways regardless of motives. I don't mean that in a bad way. I used to work on one of the properties listed. Talked to the manager Tuesday for that matter on the phone. It sounds like it will get the cachers out. Now for my PR stunt . I just submitted 11 caches in and around Potawatomi Wildlfie Park. Hey we are a privatly owned park so we can't particiapte in the DNR program but.... @ 317 acres that is 11 times the fun of the same sized DNR property Assuming they all get accepted, enjoy and make sure you sign the guest register noting you are caching. Sorry no caching after dark and make sure you wave at the guy on the mower. He would rather be caching Quote

+dougsmiley Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Hi, Mr. Obvious! Long-time listener, first-time caller. I have a collection of those on my computer.' Where is lead dog? Did he get trapped in a ghost town? Quote
+Torry Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Did we get rid of the little white pee-hound? Woo-woo! Quote
+~NotMe~ Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Hey everyone! I'm sorry I missed the 'Mini-event' at Shelter III on saturday - I had to work until 4 in Greenwood and by the time I was done I had no energy left [] Is the shelter still structurally sound? haha I saw all the posts - is it true that there's another red herring (total: 2 - so far, that is!) Quote
+GerbilMafia Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 With the fall picnic just concluding I was wondering if finding all the caches in Brown County State Park (21 I think) is doable in one day without getting back in the car? Is there anyone out there that has hiked em all out in one day? Quote
+dougsmiley Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 I would say not, i put at least 40 miles on my car just driving around the place. The caches are pretty scattered. Some are missing. I'd call it a feat just to find them all in one day with a car. Quote
+GerbilMafia Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) I measured out the distance on google earth and looks like you get to them all in roughly 9 miles (as the crow flys). Not to mention the terrian down there is pretty rugged, surely someone has done it, or tried??? I'm heading that way this weekend and I do tend to set unattainable goals for myself but I am a graduate of The Journal. Edited September 19, 2006 by GerbilMafia Quote
+Team Shydog Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Good luck Gm. Those hill down there did a number on my legs. Quote

Is there anyone out there that has hiked em all out in one day? That is an abmitious goal to say the least. If one were to start early and end late, it could probably be done. If you plan on doing this over the weekend, you have chosen wisely given the prediction of cool and overcast conditions. Good Luck! Quote
+Torry Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 So where is the little white pee-hound and his bearded partner anyways? Quote
+Team Tigger International Posted September 21, 2006 Author Posted September 21, 2006 Where o where has the little dog been , o where o where can he be ? *wonders if Patrick and LeadDog got into some kinda fight , being as how they are both alone in the house now that WheelDog is back in college * Quote
+CrossRoadNomads Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 TRAIL MIX !!! Man that sounds like a load of fun and PopTarts too!!! We'll have to catch you all on another one as work travels are taking us directly past Pokagon so that is where a couple of us will be!! I'm sure we'll have a blast at Pokagon, but would have liked to join the hike too... can't be in 2 places at once :-( Quote

You know Lead Dog is such a tightwad, he'll hike five miles cross country to save four bucks . Quote

After going to Trailmixes III and IV, I can't rightly miss Trailmix V! Plus, after Deermark took my PopTart order at the Spring Picnic I just can't let him down Sounds like the Pokagon event is going to be a huge blast as well...maybe next year. Anyone up for another Shelter III try soon? Its beginning to get chilly up here... Quote

+Team Tigger International Posted September 22, 2006 Author Posted September 22, 2006 I noticed that our friends in Michigan have been putting our a few more Michigan Spirit Quests ! One is in a small town , known as Colon MI. My Grandparents once owned and operatered a small Cafe there known as the M & M Grill . They just loved the yearly convention of Magic People . For those of you that do not know it . It is also the home town of Harry Blackstone Jr. and is known as the Magic Capitol of the World !! Very cool and thank you Wolverine Warriors !! Star Quote
