+Patudles Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Getting ready come to the wetside to find my 1,000th cache. PROBLEM is I can't find the right one. The great mountain ones are snowed in. Some I like are to far away. Most that I have considered have already been found by my geo gal pals on the wetside. I need a new hide that my gal pals haven't found yet that is worthy of #1000. Will be coming over to the wet side Thursday (I hope) to find this elusive cache. Who will hide it for me. M10B, Eraseek, Runhills? Any takers out there? We would like to do several that day. In fact unless I go caching between now and then I will need 8 caches minimum. I just think it will be more fun if my gal pals haven't already found most of these caches. I like: Challenges Multi's/Mystery Clever micros Senic walks Views History Nature Fun, must be fun. So all you great hiders. The challenge is set forth. Make some great hides for us galpals Then I will pick the worthy one for number 1000 but we will do the rest as time allows if they are not to distant from each other. After dinner I would be up to a group night hunt. Any questions please address to this thread or email me. Ready... Set... GO! Link to comment
nolenator Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 (edited) Hmm... You are a nice enough gal, you might get Eleanor to talk if you asked her nicely. Or maybe you want to be a Crazy Monkey. Or my offer for a guided tour of Something Evil... still stands. Peace, Nolenator Edited April 8, 2005 by nolenator Link to comment
+Patudles Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hey those look fun. Problem # 1 I never plan on doing the crazy monkey one ( don't like heights). # 2 gal pals have already done Eleanor. Though I must admit I will put it on my list to do along with Something Evil in West Seattle. Link to comment
+runhills Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I did a very quick check and did not see dryside activity on Moun10Bike Maze (GCH6R6). A very fun multi with numerous other caches in the area. If you are asking for a "challenge", I know somebody that may be willing. Link to comment
lucyandrickie Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hey ~Tudles! I would second the suggestion for Moun10Bike Maze as well. Pepper & I have found it but we both had, er, incidents Maybe another trip back through it and we could find where we went wrong. It's definitley milestone worthy and must be really pretty this time of year with everything budding out. Link to comment

A very fun multi with numerous other caches in the area. If you are asking for a "challenge", I know somebody that may be willing. That cache really looks like a fun one and considering the wetsider gal pals are willing to do it again it will go into strong consideration. Problem I see with it is that it looks like an all day event so I would have to make sure I find a seven caches before going to it. Should I do it on foot or take my all-terrain bicyle? I have not done much trail riding on my bike so it would have to be easy trails. But that would sure save some time from walking all day. I just toodle along and can't keep up a fast pace on hills or long distances. It still would be fun to do a cache or two the the wet behind the ears friends haven't done. Can I twist your arm Runhills? Link to comment
+runhills Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 The brain is at work! With luck I can come up with something not to be forgot. I think you will have plenty of time in addition to the maze. Since the real fun, Moun10Bike has made significant improvements to his maps of the area and signs have been posted. I vote no to the bikes. The distances are not that great and there was significant deadfall the last time I was there. Besides, you can't laugh as much on a bike! Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Might I be so bold as to suggest one of mine. Frink's Folly has only been found 12 or 13 times in over a year. All waypoints are in Seattle parks. It may take more than one try to get it right though. I might be persuaded to give a few hints on this one. Link to comment
+Patudles Posted April 9, 2005 Author Share Posted April 9, 2005 Oooh, one the girls haven't found yet! Are they like me and can't even add and subtract? If it involves any algebra I am lost and would never find it. We would probably need a help line to get through this one in a day and still have time for others. Link to comment

There is not algebra involved in this cache. In fact every math concept used was one I taught to 6th through 8th graders when I was a teacher in a former life (i.e. before geocaching).

Peace, Nolenator Fortunately I don't need a brewery to have fun and laugh, Robinego, Pepper. & Lucy will see to that part of the fun. This is sounding more fun all the time. Moun10bike Maze, Something Evil in Seattle, Frinks Folly, A new cache by Runhills. Thats four challenges. Two new caches are ready in my neck of the woods that means if I get those I will only need 6 for my goal. Now these are all challenging caches so I will need that Phone a Friend deal cause I can't have no DNF's (just laughs) it is a one day deal.

MarcusArelius Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Well if it's been raining really hard you could go for Scout Lake But seriously, depending on who's driving, and if you need some "set-up" caches you could go for firsties on a couple of drive-by caches. Look for "A drive in the woods" 5 and 6 real soon now. Link to comment

+OldBaldEagle Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 For a challenge you can enjoy at home until it is solved and then again in the search try Geoanacrostic. Plenty of Seattle caches after that which are plenty of fun. Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I do have a new cache that might work as well as the harder one I suggested earlier. Kubota Garden is in what I consider the prettiest park in Seattle. It can be done in 30 minutes, but I really suggest you take an hour or more to enjoy the garden. Link to comment

Look for "A drive in the woods" 5 and 6 real soon now. LOL, I have memories of that trail. Seriously I do plan on trying for it again, but only on a guaranteed sunny day. Those drivebys look great will I have time for them or are they long, long drives? Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions. I am looking forward to doing them. I did get in one cache over the weekend so I will have a minimum of 7 caches to get on Thursday. Looks like some of these are tough ones. So if I don't get to all of them, rest assured that they are on my to do list. They all look great! Thanks again for the help, and Runhills, I am watching for it to pop up. Link to comment
MarcusArelius Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) Those drivebys look great will I have time for them or are they long, long drives? Yes, it is a long drive but they are both on the same road. CruiserGuy already grabbed firsties though. He said it was nearly 60 miles round trip from North Bend.

If you are doing this on Thursday, you will have to remove Frink's Folly from the list of possible hunts. I will not be able to be on the phone-a-friend line on Thursday.

+runhills Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Based on what I saw during the WCM, once you get coordinates finding the hides should not be too hard. But your comment about lame remids me of the Texan visiting the Northwest that observed "The mountains are nice but they get in the way of the view" I assumed you were tired of the wide open views thus the reason for getting your milestone on the wetside. So much for views Link to comment
+Patudles Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 I assumed you were tired of the wide open views thus the reason for getting your milestone on the wetside. So much for views Wrongo! The reason I choose the wetside is: mountaintop caches not available right now such as The World as Runhills Sees it. I've found most everything over here. Fun to get away from home (itchy feet) Lots of view caches around and I will always go to them but in mood for a fun cache. Last but not least wanted to share my fun with my caching buddies from the wetside I felt a day of fun and laughter was in order for the probably my most important milestone. And who better to share that with than Robinego, Lucy & Pepper and whoever elses joins us. (Ccmin wish you could be with us too, Darn those jobs that get in the way of fun!) I think I shouldn't have said the word lame. I apologize That just popped out. Just that I want this one special. Looking forward to it, Thanks for being a pal and setting this one up for us.

+Patudles Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 I think Lucy is in charge of that. I was hoping we could find some that they haven't already found. I am thinking we will try for 6 caches on the way. Have lunch and then go for #7 (1000). Then on to more that everyone doesn't already have, whereever that may be. Check with Lucy & Pepper!

Yes, it is a long drive but they are both on the same road. CruiserGuy already grabbed firsties though. He said it was nearly 60 miles round trip from North Bend. They are a ways out there and the road a bit rough in places but it is really pretty area because not so many people are out there. You can't quite get to the hot springs because of some debris over the road. It would only be a short hike i think though. Link to comment
Ellylidan Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Mr. Thomas loves a soft feminine hand caressing his bloated festering head. Please tell me you’re coming, I’ll reopen the bog especially for you. No guarantees on your survival though. I am still doing a bit of housecleaning, one particularly gruesome fit of rage against the last human who attempted to find Mr. Thomas left entrails and organs suspended in the trees. There’s a mutilated arm still about, I’ll need to locate that. I’m actually somewhat ashamed of the condition of my lair, and likewise none to proud of the amount of mercy I showed by allowing Ankou to take her so quickly. All my love, E Link to comment
+willcall Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 My kids and puppies could take you, Ellylidan! Either that, or me all by myself. Open up, we're coming down! Link to comment
Ellylidan Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Oh the boasts of humans, how they entertain me. A rather large, muscular individual came here boasting of his eventual success. He even stood his ground when I approached. I knocked him back and swallowed his left leg to mid thigh, bit down, and pulled his leg out without the flesh. Oh my, if you could have only seen the look on his face as he looked at his leg sans skin and muscle. You disgusting sacks of lard, how I loath your pseudo bravery and false bravado. Have I allowed too many of you to live? I can hold you up by your throat with one hand while my other slowly peels the skin from your body. Have you ever witnessed the look of shocked disbelief on the face of a human when their intestines spill out into the mud? I have with great delight. Mr. Thomas was peeled so, he lived a good long time, crying like a little girl with her legs caught in a snow-blower. The days of the endless nightmare are not over, nor are the nights of the longing daydream. Even Peg has returned. You do not perceive the meaning herein, because your thoughts are but two dimensional. Have you heard from the so-called dreadful Fen Dweller of late? It is my belief that he may have been captured or has gone into hiding. He was mighty once, I am mighty now. Make light of the successes of those who have logged Mr. Thomas as found. Those who agonized and shrieked in the bowels of the slough know what you chose to disbelieve. Link to comment
