+SixDogTeam Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Indiana Spirit Quest Headlines: 1. we have a winner Team Ramfire just logged the 2,000th find on an ISQ cache. Number 2,000 came on their FTF on ISQ#149. 2. In addition WilliamsfamGC logged their 100th find on ISQ #158 and Stoheim their 500th find on ISQ#110 Congratualations cachers. 3. The last two days of this extended Holy weekend have brought out a lot of cachers--12 groups logged 34 finds Thursday and Friday. 4. The count stands at 187 cachers and 2,018 finds... 5. Even Patrick and I managed to get out and grab 4 FTF's from Trickworm. 6. Meteorology is a pseudoscience just one rung below the ladder with Astrology. First they said it would be partly cloudy this weekend, then rain and snow both Sat. and Sun., now they say snow today and cloudy tomorrow--they haven't a clue. But the rain didn't stop the cachers yesterday! We had snowflakes here at the Dog Yard the size of ping pong balls, but it didn't stick long. We are NOT "Sunshine " cachers!! Quote Link to comment
+Team Tigger International Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 *plugs nose* .... wish someone would stop pulling that pigs tail ! Star Side note : Congratulations to all you ISQ cachers and SixdogTeam (I think you have the biggest series of caches in Indiana ) Quote Link to comment
+Team BubbyMac Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 greeting fellow hoosiers. i had never heard of the ISQ's but i think i'm going to start hunting them though. may be i will try to start putting them in PARKE COUNTY Quote Link to comment
+SixDogTeam Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 i had never heard of the ISQ's but i think i'm going to start hunting them though. Greeting Team BubbyMac. If you want to hunt ISQ's, you've come to the right place. Since you bring it up, for others who may not know, ISQ's are cemetery caches hidden by a consortium of Indiana cachers: SixDogTeam, THE SHADOW, Kodiak Kid, Team Shydog and Rupert2 who have agreed to maintain a standard of excellence in terms of respectful caches that teach a little local pioneer history and provide a method of honoring our departed Veterans, among other things. We pride ourselves on our cache pages that provide a virtual tour of the cemetery. The nearest caches for you to hunt, BubbyMac, would probably be those of Rupert2--I suggest you visit his profile page and peruse his hides--of course a search of "Indiana Spirit Quest" from the Hide and Seek a Cache page would yield all 160 caches hidden to date... And of course anyone who shares our goals is welcome to e-mail me on how to become a member of the ISQ hiding team... Quote Link to comment
+SixDogTeam Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I just realized that Earthdog Patrick (who is a Jack Russell Terrier) has found 98 caches. I want to take him to a special place for his 100th find--Not a cache that I've found, tho. (I want that smilie, too!) So, since I'm not quite ready to go up north or out west for us to find our FIRST ISQ, I wonder if anybody has any suggestions for a good 100th cache for Patrick? He likes walks-in-the-woods caches better than urban trash caches--actually anything that has plenty of things to smell and things to lift a leg on... any ideas? Quote Link to comment
+Team Tigger International Posted March 27, 2005 Author Share Posted March 27, 2005 By the looks of things as we were out caching today I would say that Patrick did indeed already make that special 100th Find ! What did you do LeadDog/Patrick get up at like 4 a. m. just to beat Buddaman to the FTF honors of Trickworms newest caches ! We were at those same caches today , wish we coulda met up *sigh* someday!

Earthdog Patrick Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 By the looks of things as we were out caching today I would say that Patrick did indeed already make that special 100th Find ! What did you do LeadDog/Patrick get up at like 4 a. m. just to beat Buddaman to the FTF honors of Trickworms newest caches ! We were at those same caches today , wish we coulda met up *sigh* someday! Star Star , my count is 98 AFTER today's caching... Also, Lead dog tells me Alan Pinkerton started the Secret Service during the War of Northern Agression, tasked with guarding President Lincoln. His Pinkerton Detective Agency quickly garnered a reputation of dogged determination similar to that of Wulf's RCMP in that they "always got their man" His corporate logo was an all-seeing eye (That's were we get the term "Private Eye") That eye never closed--Their motto was the same as mine and Lead Dog's when it comes to trying to beat Buddaman to caches: WE NEVER SLEEP! As far as meeting at caches, let's do this: We'll publish a cache page under a sock puppet account, and get Mountain Climber to activate it on a late Friday night. We'll make it near Buddaman's house. Then we'll meet sat. morning and hide in the bushes and watch him hunt it and get all frustrated,except it won't be there! Then we'll jump out as he's about to leave in defeat, and "find" it and show him and it will already be signed by us and other "cachers". And we laugh at him and point at him and drink beer and eat peanuts . ANd you could bring precious. And we videotape the whole thing...heheheh Actually I wouldn't do this to Buddaman, he's my buddy, besides he lurks here all the time. and will read this. Let's do it to Trickworm, I don't think he's discovered the forums yet--what do you think? Quote Link to comment
+Buddaman Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 (edited) Yea, yea yea , live it up people. I didn't get up today untill 9:00am checked the web for new caches and saw a bunch in my area. but going on fridays lead dog ftf's and the stuff him and me have been blowing each other I knew he would be there with flashlight in hand to get it first as to quote Lead Dog"IN MY OWN BACK YARD"plus I had only till 1:00 to go caching (sometimes family things get in the way of caching DARN EASTER )And another thing changing the cords on that one cache, shame on you lead dog ( guess I should have looked at the page one last time before leaving. And I'll give you my address, so you can hide one in my yard and I'll let the wife look for that one. Edited March 28, 2005 by Buddaman Quote Link to comment
+Team Tigger International Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 Errrr ummm Precious says she is up for anything that gets her next to Patrick ! As far as that cache Buddaman ... did you really look at the coords that LeadDog and Patrick posted ? I mean really look at them ? Hope you enjoy the "Loonie" you got from that cache Lead Dog! Ok so whats the story with Buddaman and Barnaby Jones on the Goonie' Cache... seems you two logged a DNF on it cept Patrick , Lead Dog and us Tiggers found it ! Sorry , I love you guys you make me laugh! Star Quote Link to comment
Earthdog Patrick Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Lead Dog wants me to tell you all that atop the ISQ Leaderboard is a new Champion: Team Tigger International with 93, count 'em 93 finds. They leaped right over RedLungFisherwoman and FatChineseWoman to take the lead this past weekend!! And I broke 100 caches today with a Trickworm Pony Creek Cache!! Quote Link to comment
Rupert2 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 greeting fellow hoosiers. i had never heard of the ISQ's but i think i'm going to start hunting them though. may be i will try to start putting them in PARKE COUNTY Parke County... Instead of hiding for the ISQ you should be hiding for the IBQ (Indiana Bridge Quest). No I am not kidding (that is another one of Six Dog's cache series). I would go hunt those in a heartbeat out in your neck of the woods. Quote Link to comment
+Team Tecmage Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Seems like we need to start a series in the NW corner of the state. We will be getting out this summer and seeking more caches in other parts of the state. Solana has decided she likes being outside, so we're going to accomodate her. Quote Link to comment
+Team BubbyMac Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 well there are cache's at all of the bridges in the county, well maybe i could find one or two of them to use that are away from that pesky 586ft suggestion i would definetley be willing to hide some for a ibq series Quote Link to comment

+bluegillfisherman Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 (edited) What about caching cats? I could leave some behind as swag, too. Can you picture Torry trying to stuff an ornery uncooperative Tomcat into an ammo box? Heres how! Cat's left as cache trinkets must be sedated, as getting the cat to voluntarily enter most caches is difficult. Sedate the cat using a sleeping pill as follows: 1) Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow. 2) Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process. 3) Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away. 4) Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right fore-finger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten. 5) Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Phone best friend to come over and help. 6) Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get friend to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously. 7) Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later. 8) Wrap cat in large towel and get friend to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw. 9) Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans. Apply Band-Aid to friend's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap. 10) Retrieve cat from neighbor's shed. Get another pill. Place cat in cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with elastic band. 11) Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus shot. Apply compress to cheek to disinfect. Throw Tee-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom. 12) Ring fire brigade to retrieve the cat from tree across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat. Take last pill from foil-wrap. 13) Tie the little bugger's front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table. Find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of fillet steak. Be rough about it. Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to wash pill down. 14) Get parent to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table. 15) Arrange for ASPCA to collect mutant cat from hell and ring local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters. Hamsters are much easier to place in caches. _________________ Shamelessly copied from AGA forums. bgf Edited April 1, 2005 by bluegillfisherman Quote Link to comment

INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST UPDATE: From Aardvark to Yooper Trooper, there have been 215 cacher teams that have logged 2,215 finds on the series.
