    But really, I just wouldn’t want to be questioned by the Feds. I don’t like being questioned by the police or property owners either though. My uncle was an FBI agent for many years (he retired some time ago), and from his stories they can be tough inquisitors! Who knows what secrets they might drag out of me!

    Do ya think they would use waterboarding to gain goecaching secerts??? 😯 😯 😯
    Or worse yet, threaten to take one’s GPSr away!!!

    Hey Commish or the veterans here,

    Please explain how the playoffs work, and how many teams get in.

    thanks,

    If you are the top team you need to leave 1 RB and 1WR spot open in order to make the game more competitive. 😉

    LOL mathman…..Well, I guess if 6 teams get into the playoffs, the Nano Faders still have a chance to get into the playoffs, and in fact I see the top 3 teams now have an asterisk to denote playoff berth locked.

    * Note: The commish has the power to remove the asterisk. Be careful and stop cheering against OUR Packers!

    Just a friendly reminder that this Thursday night game again this week.

    Why isn’t there a choice of “NO” for the poll? For us, the “goal” is to have fun, enjoy nature, and find interesting caches.

    Same here. Cuz for me, it’s not or ever will be about the numbers. I been caching now since July of 06′. And as of right now I’m at 191 or so.
    I do have all but 1 cache left to find within 20 miles from home. The one cache is less than 5 miles away, but for whatever, I have been leaving it for a rainy day I guess.

    All I was trying to show was the top 3 teams. As of right now your still leading by 2. I was no other underlying reasons.

    We were doing this cache: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=f60f8717-7e62-421f-8c05-2a863538cdb0
    There in the woods were several trees that looked like they had been mostly cut through with chainsaws but were still standing. The cut seemed to go all the way around the perimeter of the tree, about 3′ up from the ground, but the tree was still standing. The trees themselves were mature trees between 18″ and 24″ in diameter.

    Can anyone explain what this might have been??? Is there some reason I’m unaware of to do this?

    Many times when a forester wants certain trees removed, but it may cause damage to trees that they want to remain, they will “girdle ” the unwanted tree. This could be done by making a cut completely around the tree, or by shaving the bark completely around the tree. Either way, the cut must be made completely through the bark and into the wood. This will kill the unwanted tree do to the fact that it can no longer be nourished. The tree dies and it will stand for a longer period of time. This will allow the dead tree to fall to the ground in smaller pieces, a little at a time rather than all at once.

    It is quite common to see this sort of thing in a pine plantation. After a clear cut, a crew will usually plant red pines because they grow fast and straight. Other trees that are already there, usually as seedlings or saplings will take off like weeds. At approximately 15-25 years, a crew will go in and prune the plantation. All of the lower branches are cut off to keep the wood to a higher quality and to aid in keeping forest fires from easily spreading into the tree’s crown. During the pruning process is when most of the “undesireables” are dealt with. At this time they are too big to cut down without damaging the planted pines.

    Another reason could be that the DNR, or another agency, is purposely stressing certain species to examine at a later time for disease or pests. They have been stressing ash trees in order to check for the emarld ash borer. If you haven’t heard of this pest yet, I urge you to check out the DNR website. http://dnr.wi.gov/forestry/FH/Ash/

    Being the grandson of a former State Forester, I’d say Furfool hit it on the head!
