UGH!! I feel you pain! I had to get my sacral and the rest of the pelvic region put back into alignment to relieve the worst of my sciatic nerve pain. Then physical therapy to re-learn to walk properly (wat a difference that made). This all happened 10 years after the problem started.

I don’t have the intense pain like I used too, I still get some discomfort from time to time. For that I use heat (mostly) and cold and get off my feet as much as possible. And for some odd reason, if I get my hubby to put pressure on the point of most discomfort (right side of the tailbone), it seems to help some.

Best of luck hon!!! Let us know how it goes.

Edit: realized I’m logged in as hubby. This is Katrina responding.

THis could be a fun one. I’ll check and see if I can go!

Our 2000 Jeep Cherokee had about 65,000 miles before meeting it’s demise in a highway rollover Tuesday 03 Fenruary 2009.

So what if somebody would like to place a legitimate cache or stages in a lake or river? Now they have all these bogus coordinates that may be on top of the spot that they want to put a cache. I say stack away.

Actually, I would like to see this taken a step further. I would like to see all puzzle caches in a community that are just bogus coordinates have the same stacked starting point, regardless of the mileage.

If the cache is one that you need to go to a specific starting point, get info and then move on to next stage or final, then that cache should be listed as a multi, not a puzzle. To me puzzles are ones that require work/research before you go out and try to find it.

the plan is for at least one to attend, still would like to get more of the family there, but that may prove to be impossible. Since i have been to every one so far it would be a shame to miss one now.

definately group camp.

will there be anything interesting to fix or take apart? 🙄

Nothing that I can think of. The GPS from last still works great and always points to the cache

I think we need to construct some interesting cache containers before then 😈

I need to know how many are coming, I will bring NY strip steaks and a couple of weber grills to cook them on…. 🙂 Yeah, sure, now don’t you just hate virtual picnics 🙁

I knew I smelled something good cooking Beast. 😀 Got any room on the grill for some corn on the cob that has been soaking in saltwater for the last day or so? Make some room and I’ll grab us a couple Leinenkugel Sunset Wheats so we can catch up. 😉

I have just one thing to all about all this:

[AstroDon]

I can see both sides of the temp/permanent debate here but I would like to see a nice easy mix of both. We certainly don’t need 40 temp hides since it is one log anyway. Nor do we need 20-30 permanent ones to compensate either. A big part of events for me is to meet new people and renew old friendships. If everybody is running around obsessed at trying to find a ton of caches then it takes away from the socializing aspect.

That being said, I would definately volunteer to help hide either type of placement. Temp hiding will depend on the weekend it is done if I am availalbe. Just point me towards some water and a cache I will place. Anybody up for “How Far Would You Go 2?” 😈

Join us or Timberline Echoes in those wild lands no one has claimed (because they can’t even see them on the map and therefore don’t know they exist!). Form an alliance with us!

Ah, you misunderstand, The Great State of Benchmark Haven spans from sea to shining sea. It includes the Great Northern Woods and even middle earth.

Duck505 (Jacob) has laid claim to The Green Swamp (Bay of Green Bay). Will update the map to reflect the newest territory soon.

Silly Ratland Parish commoner, a king is not voted for, it is a birthright 😉

[AstroDon]

Lest ye all forget, all your factions fall under The Great State of Benchmark Haven. Benchmark Haven was established in the 1800’s and has survived through many seasons, wars, natural phenomenon and political regimes. We oversee all and our various marks have been put in place to help resolve your territorial disputes. It is through our benevolence that your territories have been allowed to flourish.

I Agree with you Don. I think that the Seperate Benchmark Hunting Fourm Topic, is the way to go. I know exactly what you mean about the Benchmark hunting, and DNF’s being just as important as the finds. I had a good time, and learned alot while out with you guys a few weekends ago.

I think this is a great Idea, and i think it will help get more people into the sport/hobby of benchmark hunting.

*shudders* Sorry Justin, for us, I just don’t like referring to benchmark hunting as a sport. Definately a dedicated hobby, but not a sport. 🙂

I’m glad you had fun. Nexct time you are up for going out, we’ll really start showing ya the stuff.
