+Patudles Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Beings we haven't been doing so well this year on getting new caches I thought I would start a once a month club. Please sign on if you are willing to join. To join this club you need to make a commitment of hiding a minimum of one cache per month in Cache-cadia Land (eastern side of the Cascades). Then you need to post to this thread when your cache is hid to alert us all. So all of you willing to join the club please sign in. You do not have to live in Cache-cadia to join the club, just visit us once a month and hide us a cache. Link to comment
+The Navigatorz Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Good idea Patudles. I just purchased 10 ammo cans so that should take care of most of the year. I hereby commit to hiding "at least" one a month. Now, where to hide them????? Link to comment
+GeoRoo Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 About time you EWA geo slackers put out more caches!..... I need to pick up the 25 cans I have on order and plan on putting out at least 10 in EWA. Link to comment

I need to pick up the 25 cans I have on order and plan on putting out at least 10 in EWA. Geoslacker? I hid 20 this year. One of them was a cache generator that produced an additional 11 new hides. Geoslacker? Bah Humbug. Link to comment
+robinego Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 You know I will commit to a cache a month (as if I had any choice given the fact you would hound and stalk me...). I think I just make mine all the dog tag micros and hide them in trees.... -R- Link to comment
+Barnabirdy(s) Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 We know we have been living off the labors of others, finding dozens and only placing two down there for you good folks. We will try to do better.... If there is going to be a cache machine in Wenatchee in the spring (it has been rumored) we need to get the area ready Link to comment
+Patudles Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 About time you EWA geo slackers put out more caches!..... I need to pick up the 25 cans I have on order and plan on putting out at least 10 in EWA. Before you call the kettle black you might check and see how many caches people like the Navigatorz have put out. It just so happens that we live in an area with not so many cachers to help hide them so the few we have have to put out a lot of caches to make it worthwile to cache over here. Those of us in Wenatchee & Winthrop areas do not live in a caching mecca. Slackards we're not. Link to comment
+GeoRoo Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Did you miss my happy face?....I was just poking some fun at you all. You and everyone do a great job at placing caches. I'd much rather cache over your way than the dark, damp, wet, west side. I'm running out of non city caches though, so it looks like a Wenatchee run might be in order soon. I still have that Bus Stop DNF that keeps glaring at me. Link to comment
+robinego Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Hmmm....Think you might need a little nudge? Let me know... Many people have complained about the open nature of the cache and feel very exposed. This cute little find in Ellensburg I did yesterday put mine to shame! Talk about exposed with a police station right around the corner! When it was found, it was pure exhilaration. I know when you get Take Shelter, you'll feel the same way. -R- Link to comment
+Patudles Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) Did you miss my happy face?.... Sorry, did not mean to pounce on you so. I ment to put in a face or two with my verbalization also, but forgot. So here are the faces I ment to put in. Before you call the kettle black you might check and see how many caches people like the Navigatorz have put out. It just so happens that we live in an area with not so many cachers to help hide them so the few we have have to put out a lot of caches to make it worthwhile to cache over here. Those of us in Wenatchee & Winthrop areas do not live in a caching mecca. Now, yes, we will welcome any of your new caches in the area. Having so spoken, this slackard needs to consider where to put her 1st cache of the year Edit: oooops Edited January 3, 2005 by Patudles Link to comment
+The Navigatorz Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 GeoRoo provided 19 quality caches last year (and about half of them were on the east side of the Cascades). Looking at his cache pages, it appears most of them have spectacular views. I only claimed two of his in 2004, but will definitely put some of his other caches on my Must-Do Cache List for 2005, especially the Lookout Tower caches. Thanks GeoRoo. Link to comment
+GeoRoo Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Thanks Navigatorz, I enjoy the get out of town caches, so I'm always on the lookout for a viewpoint. My poor Honda Civic took a beating this past year with all the caching I did. I have 3 Patudle dents on one side from one of her caches, but after reading Robinego's post earlier maybe I should name them after her!..... Amazingly I did not get stuck anywhere this year and break anything, so knock on wood. I did get locked in behind a logging gate for 5 hrs, almost stepped on 6 rattle snakes, had a 1,000 plus lb rock roll over and almost pin me, but all in all a good year of geocaching with no damage done. Good thing geocaching is such a safe sport or I could be in trouble!...... If you see me on a milk carton you know what happened. Link to comment
+robinego Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 but after reading Robinego's post earlier maybe I should name them after her!..... Hey now, yer treadin' on thin ice...I'm perfectly capable of driving with my elbows... I'm already ahead of everyone else, I placed my 1st one of the month. And it's a good one in a fatabulous spot. No dog tag micro in a tree like I threatened. -R- Link to comment

+Patudles Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 I have 3 Patudle dents on one side from one of her caches, LOL, I hid most of my caches while driving my Taurus, and unless I was with Robinego, found most of them in same cachmobile. Surprisingly no dents or damage to it while doing so. Car totaled in parking lot at Target while cashing there. Pickup backed into me, so oilpan was still intact. Now I have a real cachemobile to hide them in so look for some of my new caches in 4-wheelin territory, high clearance needed. Have some areas in mind to check out as soon as the snow is gone (July) . Link to comment
+Patudles Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 Cached in on the first cache of the month cache. (tongue twister?) Left a yellow jeep there for next person to find. Great cache location, Robinego. Link to comment
+The Navigatorz Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Hmmmmm. Robinego and Patudles go geocaching together . Robinego is FTF on a new Patudles hide. Patudles is FTF on a new Robinego hide. Hmmmm again. Do I see a pattern here? Link to comment
+robinego Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Now hang on, that baby popped up and I grabbed it on the way out of town to West Bar, good and proper. Toodles gave me NO help (snot). She just stood and watched me act like a fool til I was pert near frozen. And I'm thinkin' you need to join us sometime. Do you some good. See our caching style and learn sumthin'. (don't know what, but you'll come back a changed man) I'm feelin' kinda onery and think I need to go plant another one... -R- Link to comment
+The Navigatorz Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 And I'm thinkin' you need to join us sometime. Do you some good. I'm afraid to. I can just now hear you both laughing at me for not seeing a cache staring back at me. Link to comment
+Patudles Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 Do I see a pattern here? Let's see now, would that be McCall's or Simplicity? Hmmm, not Simplicity I'm sure, maybe Butterick's or Vogue's? Hmmm, I'm not sure I understand which pattern your referring to. Just cause we cache together doesn't mean we always hide our caches together. Besides if we did we'd would close our eyes and not peek so we could give the coords an accurate test. You know, us Garmin folks need to keep the Maggies of this world in line! Yeah, now that I think about it, it must be Vogue that your refering to. Thats always the most complicated pattern.

No wonder you let us buy them so inexpensively. ~ Tudles Link to comment

+Patudles Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 Robinego and Navigatorz have hidden their January caches, looks like the rest of us need to get busy painting our cans white so we can get our January caches hid. ~ Tudles Link to comment
+xy,xx,xy,xy,xy,xy Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I hid mine today. Link to comment
+Patudles Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 Sooo I noticed. 4 star terrain hmmm, now who will be first to that one? I'm sure it won't be me. Navigatorz are you going to let Robinego beat you to this one or will Barnabirdy(s) have to come down and claim firsties, if Team Tazman doesn't do it. Sure wish Subie21 would wake up and join in again. Link to comment
+xy,xx,xy,xy,xy,xy Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 OK, I toned terrain down to 3. It really is only a 100 foot walk/crawl. When the snow is gone it'll probably only be a 2 or 2 1/2 star. If you did River's Edge, you can do this. I laughed rather hard at myself for my inability to keep my feet under myself on the way back to the car. I butt-slid it. Link to comment
+xy,xx,xy,xy,xy,xy Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 (edited) Very clever new hide today by the Barnabirdys. This once a month club was a great idea Toodles. Thanks. Edited January 13, 2005 by xy,xx,xy,xy,xy,xy Link to comment
+Patudles Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 So now we know why they flew into town in stealth mode. I am having cleverness problems right now and can't seem to find the right spot for my newest cache. It is ready to go I just have to find the best spot for it. ~ Tudles Link to comment
+robinego Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Was on the west side yesterday and got home in the wee hours, then called to work today so I couldn't go out and play. Did the leg work on a few multi's in Issaquah while I was over there and getting a new s e r i e s ready to start planting over the course of the next few months. Hey Birdy's, I have a TB that needs to get to Calgary, next time you're down here, let me know so you can take him a little way up the road toward his goal. -R Link to comment
+paul2tele Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I will be in Calgary Feb. 8-11. If you can drop the bug somewhere between Issaquah and Snoqualmie Pass, I could pick it up. paul2tele Link to comment

I'll let you know when I plan on coming back over, obviouslyit will be in the next couple of weeks. Thanks, Robin Link to comment

+The Navigatorz Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 (edited) For the month of January, new hides in 20 mile radius of Wenatchee are as follows: Year 2003 - 15 new hides Year 2004 - 2 new hides Year 2005 - 7 new hides (So far and we still have 10 days to go). Can we beat 2003's number? Where's the rest of the Cache-cadians? Shall we start knocking on doors? Edited January 21, 2005 by The Navigatorz Link to comment
+xy,xx,xy,xy,xy,xy Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 In an attempt to thwart the micro menace (partly of my own making) I hid an ammo can multi today. I have a new appreciation for the work that goes into making a multi. Oof! that takes some time and thought. Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I will commit to making as many new caches as possible. Anything more will just tie me down, disable me, and make me a blithering mess. I can't stand the pressure. I tend to place caches in batches. Maybe when they are all averaged out they're once a month? Don't think so, since I've been caching for close to three years, and I only have done 23 caches. I'm particularly stunned at all the new cache listings that are popping up in the middle of winter, though. I'm inspired in more ways than one. I could go out right now and get 8 new caches close into town right now. Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Alright, did a little more checking than I should have, but here is a modified version: If I start counting from the first month that I started planting caches (including a couple caches I basically planted under another name), I am 6 behind in the averaged once a month thing. A lot of them were in clusters of 2-5 in one month. I have adopted a cache, and look over two others under that other name. I also am basically in charge of all of my family's caches (since they are either to young or undedicated), which adds up to 22 more caches. So, after all is said and done, I am currently resonsible for 47 caches, which means I haven't even caught up to Patudles yet! But it's important to take these things into account when making new caches. Do I trust myself to be able to take care of all of them responsibly, or are am prepared to archive some of them?

+Patudles Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 Ok Patudles, you started this club. Where's your January cache?? I'm working hard on it right now trying to get it ready to submit. I changed horses midstream and went back to another cache idea I had awhile back and am using it. Couldn't find just the right hiding spot for the other one. So keep your eyes peeled. It might be up tomorrow for the lucky FTFer. It may have a few curves tossed in. See if you can catch on. ~ Tudles Link to comment
+GeoRoo Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Wow, GeoRoo has hidden 7 new caches this year, and all in January!! Well, actually 10 now. I went out yesterday and found a new road that climbs up to some fantastic view points near Index. Top cache is at 3200 ft. and there was no snow!..... We're going to be in serious trouble with the snow pack if it doesn't start soon. There's a large communication site being built, so it looks like that road should be in good shape for a long time. I have 25, 50 cal ammo boxes and another 12, 30 cal boxes that I bought about 2 months ago, so I figured I better get busy with some new caches out my way. It's been spring time weather over here all week and I'm planning to put out more caches on Friday. Link to comment
