It's a little old. Well, I'll talk to you later. Have a good one." To replay this message, press 1. To forward this message, press 2. To delete this message, press 7. To call the sender back, press 8. I pressed 8. Ring. Ring. "Hello?" "Hi, this is Travis. You say you found my box?" "Yeah, I found it this afternoon." "Which one?" "The one down by Dumas Bay" "Are you a geocacher?" "A what?" "So you just found it?" "Yeah." "So where is it now?" I ask, fearing the worst. "I left it there." Whew. "What is it?" he asks. "It's part of a game. It's been there for about a year and a half now. People use a GPS to find it with coordinates they get on the internet. You mentioned a sandwich?" "Yeah, there were two sandwiches in there. I ate one. It wasn't very good." Ewwww... "So the other sandwich is still there?" "Yeah." "I'll go pick it up tomorrow. People aren't supposed to leave food in there." "OK. Talk to you later." "Bye." (So EraSeek, what are you doing leaving sandwiches in my cache? ) Quote
+EraSeek Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 No way! There were no sandwichs in there! There was an older guy and his Grandson? out there digging clams. Only ones around. I covered it well too. Wonder what that was all about?? Quote
+EraSeek Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Someones pulling your leg. Ain't nobody dumb enough to eat something out of a box they found laying around!! (... ok so maybe there are a few that dumb) Quote
+1stimestar Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 You haven't met my brother in law lol. Oh yea, eww. Quote
+LandRover Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Hey, I could use a sandwich under my rock but I aint sharin with Kiersolvd. Quote
+Cardinal Red Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 jeffrey12000 Posted on May 10 2005, 03:25 PM how did he get your number?????? It's not at all unusual to find a Cache with contact information for the Cache Owner, complete with Phone Number. Quote
Tenniskid Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Wow, that's an interesting story.....I'd be very hesitant to put my phone number in one of my caches, but then again, I'm the type of person that likes to know who has my #. And for someone to actually eat something they found in a box, that just makes my head hurt. I mean, if you really think about it, if you found a tooth brush laying on the ground, would you pick it up and use it? Well, good thing it's still there....., he could have taken the grub and the box, but guess his five finger discount was only interested in the food. ~D Quote
+travisl Posted May 10, 2005 Author Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) jeffrey12000 Posted on May 10 2005, 03:25 PM how did he get your number?????? It's not at all unusual to find a Cache with contact information for the Cache Owner, complete with Phone Number. Exactly. As another example, because I had my phone number on my I Hate I-5 XXV cache, the bomb squad was able to return it to me. My phone number is in each of my cache logbooks, so even if the cache gets muggled, maybe someone will find the log book and call me to retrieve it. Edited May 10, 2005 by travisl Quote
+Trevor and Kate Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 So wait...did he say what kind of sandwiches? I pictured peanut butter... Quote
+Team Benhamtroll Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 I actually had images of big old subs. You know, the kind where the mayanaise has gone all clear . . . Quote
+vds Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 Someones pulling your leg. Ain't nobody dumb enough to eat something out of a box they found laying around!! (... ok so maybe there are a few that dumb) I used to work with a guy who believed that anything was ok to eat as long as you microwaved it. Of course we also saw him eat a peanut-butter and sardine sandwich....on purpose...and not because he lost a bet. Yecccchhhhhhh..... Quote
+travisl Posted May 11, 2005 Author Posted May 11, 2005 Yum! A cheese sandwich on white bread! Wrapped in a plastic 7-11 bag! The cache was pretty out in the open, so I re-hid it after removing the sandwich this afternoon. I can't bring myself to throw it away yet. Hmmm... how can I make a TB out of the sandwich without violating the "no food in caches" rule? Quote
nolenator Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 Now I got to go find another TravisL cache so I can get his number and you know "make a call". This is such a fun game. Peace, Nolenator Quote

+blazerfan Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 Hmmm... how can I make a TB out of the sandwich without violating the "no food in caches" rule? You could have it freeze dried and shrinkwrapped... that would preserve it and make it pretty much odderless... maybe Quote
+Stump Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 You could have it freeze dried and shrinkwrapped... that would preserve it and make it pretty much odderless... maybe Pretty much odorless isn't good enough. We recently checked on a cache of ours and inside it had a dog bone sealed in a plastic bag which was then of course sealed inside a plastic watertight container. We found teeth marks all along the lid. Those varmits can smell good. Just a reminder. Quote
+Criminal Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 Those varmits can smell good. Just a reminder. Especially when impaled on a stick and rotisserizing over an open fire. Mmmmmm, damnn good rodent. Quote
+pdxmarathonman Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 Yum! A cheese sandwich on white bread! ... how can I make a TB out of the sandwich without violating the "no food in caches" rule? You said it is white bread. Is it processed american cheese? If so, then it is safe to say it is NOT food! Quote
+Allanon Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 I can't bring myself to throw it away yet. Hmmm... how can I make a TB out of the sandwich without violating the "no food in caches" rule? Lucite... ;-) Quote
+Wienerdog Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 Have it bronzed, it will then transcend its humble origins and become an authentic piece of Americana Art. Heck, you could probably sell it on Ebay. Quote
+Prying Pandora Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 Have it bronzed, it will then transcend its humble origins and become an authentic piece of Americana Art. Heck, you could probably sell it on Ebay. While you're at it, etch a poorly defined image of the Virgin Mary on it. You'll sell it for 10 times as much! Quote
+LittleBlue Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 We've started using free random 'sneakemail' addresses on my caches- I get enough Spam from my friends! Quote
