I have a National Registry exam on the 16th so I am studying until then but perhaps could we all, or someone set up a geo cache run around the valley? Oh and with a lil class before hand for those of us that got new GPS and are having problems loading them? I have never geo-cached before... Uhhhh, okay I said it, a virgin.... *embarrassed*

whats a snake bite between friends. you could ignore it for a little while then adam would have a new video to post when you drain it:eek:

Wayco

I didn't SEE any snakes, but I was carrying snakeshot. :D Really, snakes are just a minor problem compared to what you will encounter.....:p

Snakes are nothing...

I'd pick it up inspect it and release it... just how I roll..

I love reptiles.

08-09-2007, 07:16 PM

My GPS showed I was 300ft away from the cache. I was not about to hike the little bit of a hill thru all those snakes. I had my son and his friends with me and didn't want to take the chance. I was hoping it would be a "family friendly" hidding spot. Oh well, so much for that one!

Moriarty

08-09-2007, 07:21 PM

nope :D But it wasnt placed family or night-find friendly WAYNE! :eek: it is snake season ya know!

Yeah, Never been to the White Tanks till last night. Figured I'd give it a shot at night though it looked like a hike was involved seeing as the closest trail to the geocache was .4 miles. I got about half way but in the dark not knowing where I was going I thought knowing my luck I'd get a snake bite or take a nice fall. I turned back. It was worth the city lights view alone though and I will retry Saturday after the benefit car wash.

08-09-2007, 07:31 PM

I do have to say it was fun "getting" there.....:D

08-09-2007, 07:32 PM

Ohhh...there was nothing wrong at all with the view and the trail. My son ahd is two friends enjoyed it and had alot of fun.

Thanks Brad for not giving anything away. I really never considered children when I hid my cache, I just didn't want it to be found too easy.

Only 1 breaking thing . That would be my arm. 10ft away from cach and a misplaced step. I almost logged in book first. If the pain pills work well and i can talk my wife into driving me back there is still hope. Its a great drive and a good spot, just do it in daytime and watch your step. It really sucks typing with 1 hand on meds.

ouch :D

Yes I was there too, we where so close til I heard "OUCH"! I would of went ahead and found it but I needed to help my dear friend get in his Jeep. Good luck to all that is looking to find it! Maybe I can get out this weekend and try again!:D

Wayco

08-11-2007, 12:28 PM

Sorry Mark, does this mean I need to post a waiver for anyone trying to find my cache?
All I wanted to do was make it challenging.....

CarolinaRubi

08-11-2007, 01:22 PM

tough break Mark

LOL :D:D:D

Wayne you placed in an great spot. Its an area ive passed by before. No waiver needed, i just got a little careless. :D I will sign log book before its over. :cool:

Nice Andy and Ty, I cant believe you guys didnt find Marks!! Maybe tomorrow or Tuesday I will go hide mine out there. I can wait to do mine its gonna be fun. More challenging like Waynes. Perhaps we should put some * stars to rate how hard the geocache is. What do you guys think??

That sounds like a good idea. I guess we can rate the trail and the hidding spot. 1-5 and 1-5. Kinda like the system we already have for the trails. This way we would have a general idea of how challenging it will be to find the cache.

I noticed that www.geochaching.com has a rating system as well.

Yeah either way with stars or numbers!! So next time when you post a geocache(hopefully mine soon) we have to just state what we think it is after hiding it. For a example:

Id have to say Wayne's Hyline Geocache is a 3-5, the trail I took was 2-5(the reason I put 2-5, cause I would think that 1-5 would be a common dirt road where its maintain by someone.:confused:

Marks is a 1 out of 5 I think, its very easy you just have to be hydrated and looking! lol :D The trail is a 2-5, I would think.

Well me and Shannon went on a hunt for mudd today in the White Tank Mnt area around 10am until we noticed that there was no :mad: mudd. The ground sucked all the water right up. So we decided to do some exploring on trails that we both havent been on. I remember that I put this Geocache into my GPS and saved it. So as we wheelin out west we came along this Hyline Geocache and figured we stop by and pay it a visit for once(my second attempt! "Note to self, make sure I bring someone in phyiscal fit") :D So yeah we got to the top of the mountian felt great with that cold breeze. Open it up signed are names and took some "WAYCO & HYJAK" cards figure since we are not newbies that leave the other goodies for other people. After that we decided to go the way we came and found some other trails to go on! So actually we just got home around 3pm, it came out to be a fun little run. Pics are below, Shannon modeling with the box!! :eek:

I can't help but smile when I remember Shannon on Tie Rod wash. Everybody got a big kick out of Brad reaching in and putting her Jeep into 4 low..... :D
Glad you found it Dustin, now I have to go out and find yours....:)

Nice job. Me and the wife were out there today looking about the same time as you. We went out with just the coordinates and a GPS, no map. We were all over the place. Unfortunately they were the wrong places. We were close but not quite there.
Next time.

Wayco

09-15-2007, 06:13 AM

I'm not working on anything right now, Hyjak is under the knife at Absolute. :(
On the positive side, he will be bigger and stronger when Joe is done with him. :)

Kelly P

09-15-2007, 08:08 AM

Yea, I took those pictures on my way back down the north side.

Rogue XJ

09-30-2007, 07:03 AM

paid the cache a visit yesterday, it's still safe and sound. quite the view from the site!

got hung up in tax collector while wheeling solo too, duh. my hi-lift decided to get hung up when it was time to lower the rig back down after stuffing a rock under the rear tire, forcing me to break out a pry bar to unjam the mechanism.

note to self:

1. wheeling solo, not-so-good

2. perform maint on hi-lift

3. (still) need lockers

4. bring bug spray when wheeling the tanks (holy cow, fly city)

5. (still) need better CB

:)

Wayco

09-30-2007, 07:33 AM

I thought I saw someone up there while we were wheeling Upper Scorpion. Need to get up there again soon and read the log and check supplies.

Rogue XJ

09-30-2007, 04:07 PM

according to the log book, it's been virtually untouched since 8/16

oh, and your HYJAK equipment list isn't current anymore? (nice cards by the way)

11-19-2007, 12:48 PM

I hope Mark (CarolinaRuby) doesn't see that! I will be up there checking supplies as soon as I get new cards made up. Glad you enjoyed the adventure.

Dustin, you know it's not fair to show people where a cache is, you have to let them search for it....

Wayne I didnt! I gave him my GPS and told him to use it! I let them lead the way, I basically stayed back and let them look for it! Come on thats pointless to show them where its at, takes all the fun out of it!!:)

Dustin didn't take me to the cache. He said that we were near and said he would give me his GPS and I could find it. So, I took it put in the cords. and found it. :yes:

I can vouch for Dustin when cacheing the White Tanks. If he knows where it
is he just sits back and laughs while you try and find it.:D

Friday, Sharon and I went up and checked the site. Last visit was 1-21-08 by Gabriel and Anton R. We put new cards in, and the offer still stands, if you catch me at a M&G or anyplace that serves beer, the card is good for a drink of your choice. :drool5: :) You have to sign in the log so I know you have been there. It sure is nice out in the White Tanks right now, lots of wildflowers, more than I have ever seen in that area!
