    There have been many cases of dogs dying caused by blasto here also and a good buddy of mine also had it. He was a photographer and and did a lot of shoots along the Namekagon River. It’s not too common around here, but every once in awhile you hear of a case. I know it took my buddy over a year to recover and that he never has gotten back to 100%.

    Yup, I listed it. Beats a pine cone or cat tail.

    If you are ever in a pinch, cat tail fluff is a very good fire starter tinder.

    But isn’t it illegal to pick cat tails…..you wouldn’t want to tick off the DNR now would ya?

    Not that I do not belief you, but can you direct me to where that is posted on the WI DNR site? I thought the same thing but never saw it. But if I was lost in the woods, I would forgo the fine to keep warm.

    EKK! WDNR Cattails It says here ya can eat them !

    We use to tell everyone too… but we think the medical clinics in our area have marked all our charts “Don’t let them start talking about Geocaching” so we have been trying to control who we tell.

    in reply to: When dogs attack… #1882937

    I hate hearing stories like that. I have 3 Labs. The most they would do to anyone is lick ya to death or I should say is jump up. push ya down and stand on your chest while licking ya to death. My youngest lab thinks he part kangaroo. When I come home from work, he jumps straight up at the door and almost hits the ceiling.

    I did see in the newspaper last week that had a story about therapy dogs and nursing home and one of the dogs was a Pit bull. It went through 6 months of training and test like wheel chairs running over their paws and such. Not all dogs are bad. A lot of it has to do with how they are raised.

    Or better yet, find a better place for a hide. There has to be a better place than a parking lot.

    The GC forum dealing with this question was …..gun orientated! One cacher admitted to packing two handguns. This is a sick world…………..

    No its somebody who probably was a boy scout and is Always Prepared…

    Not that agree that caring a hand gun while cacheing is a good thing , but Up Nort I have run in many animals while caching. Bear, porcupines. badgers, coyotes and we have MANY timber wolves around here. I think I saw one but not sure. Most of the time, I’m out with my 3 labs. I’d hate to be a mile or two from nowhere and run into Momma bear and her cubs.

    in reply to: GPSr on air planes #1882731

    Ya know, a time back, there was a thread on this subject. I’ll see if I can find it. I don’t think there should be a problem but ask the Captain permission to turn it on once you are in the air.

    Here’s two options up in the northwest part of the state.

    St. Croix National Scenic Riverway: you can make this into a week long trip along the St. Croix and Namekagon rivers but caches are far apart because of the riverway being owned by the National Park Service. Here’s a few caches which are easily accessible from the water which are associated with usual landings on the river.

    GC12WZX
    GC12Y76
    GC12W18
    GC161G6
    GC168E2
    GCP64Y
    GCP5PR

    …and for a smaller option – here are 3 caches in Burnett County on Clam Lake and River – I’ve only found 2 of them so far.

    GC14ZPH
    GCWPNR
    GCXQ29

    Here is one that fits in between the first 2 listed.

    Welcome to the addiction. I am sure a local cacher will be more than willing to show you the ropes.
