Thread Stealers With Too Much On Their Minds

[Chatauqua560]

Are they really white rocks or painted?  If naturally white, do they have to bring them?

[huffinpuffin2]

The white rocks are actually bleached coral gathered from beaches.  This coral was popularly used to create graffiti, LOTS of graffiti, along the western-most highway that passes through a very dry, dark ‘lava desert’ region north of Kailua-Kona.  But in the Spring of 2012, a grassroots-based clean-up of this ‘litter’ was undertaken and relatively little graffiti now remains near the roadway.  It is illegal to remove coral from the beaches, so it is likely the material bartrod used was already in the area of the Virtual Cache.  These days, the graffiti created for the Virtual is generally small and/or out of sight from the highway.  The photo of the Coordinate Graffiti we created was relatively large, about 20′ long, and done in 2009.  There was so much graffiti in the area at that time, it was very hard to actually ‘pick it out of the crowd’.

HP2 is right about moving the coral.  Below is a link to our log on that cache in October 0f 2014, complete with photos showing our lame attempt at a graffiti sunflower.

Of course, we don’t know exactly what bartrod did for his graffiti on the lava, although he so far hasn’t been struck down for any of his yellow snow graffiti… 😉

I actually created it at the beach and left it there…no graffiti to be seen anywhere any more. We’d created some the last time we were here too…am curious where HP2’s coordinates would take us!??

The N/W coordinates were meant to identify GZ of the Grafiti Galore Virtual, hope we got it right.  Without the W or a ‘-‘ before the second number, it’s likely on an atoll or a cargo ship further west in the Pacific?  😉

FTP for post-snafu Oscar Monday.

I’m not sure if I’ll be watching the Academy Awards anymore in the future.  I watch movies to escape, to be entertained, to dream, for enjoyment.  But it has gotten so political in recent years that it is becoming the very thing I’m trying to escape from.  I’m sick of politics, whether from the left or right.  >sigh<

Where are all the Miss America memes right now?

The buck stops here. . .and gets entered into Where's George.

I 100% agree with you.  Pretty much why I’ve stopped watching television.

Oh…and FTP for Tuesday 😀

Craphas in Oshkosh 🙁

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Craphas 19 miles south west of Oshkosh … ground is white again.

[jar42]

Here we go again. The driveway is again covered with craphas, whoever’s in charge of this schedule needs a timeout.

first FTP in March of 2017
