    I log them if I have put for a real good effort and just can’t find it. Otherwise I just chalk it up to bad eyesight.

    While in college I was working for a temp agency. On one assignment I was working with three other people entering every address in the city and it’s location (N, S, E or W) into the computer to get it ready for the new 911 system. Since these were new computers, we got to talking about our own. I mentioned that my newest computer no longer had the large floppy drive, but a smaller floppy drive and a cd drive. The idiot next to me said that his didn’t have one either but that it was ok because if he wanted to see what he had on the large floppy disks he could just put in under the microscope he had, since all his information was on those disks in “itty-bitty letters” (note… these were his exact words). I almost died laughing.

    If you thought that was bad… while I was in high school, a fellow employee kept complaining that the wall clock was fast. I told him it was because the electricity was getting to it too fast and that he should tie the cord in a know… this would cause the electricity to take a longer time to get to the clock since it had to navigate the knot… he proceeded to tie the cord in a knot and plugged the clock back in. While he was on break, I corrected the time on the clock. Later in the day he came to me and said that it had worked. He kept telling people for months that he had fixed the clock by tying the knot.

    It’s amazing at how stupid people can be!

    I was looking forward to helping with the hides since I had so much fun doing it for last years picnic, unfortunately, I will be in Tennessee. 🙁

    Unfortunately, you have to pay if you want to go past level one. 🙁

    My goal is to complete the HBZ series, not get stuck up to my knee in a bog, not fall down a cliff and to not fall and land on my camera (I can’t afford a new one, again!)

    😀 Well, I can honestly say I draw better with a pencil and paper than I do with a computer and a mouse.

    😳 Ok… I know the artwork is bad, but you get the idea.

    We stayed at this place all six times we went up there last year. It’s actually a small place right behind the gas station. It was amazingly quiet. The gas station is open all night so if you have the munchies it’s perfect. It also has 3 or 4 computers set up inside at their “internet cafe” that you can use free of charge. Oh, yeah… they have really good ice cream too. This is a really new place so everything was nice and clean and the price was right only $40/night

    I’ve had several that people have picked up and never dropped again. One guy replied to an e-mail I sent him saying, he lost it somewhere and he didn’t have time to look for it. Another guy is holding my Buzzy Bear TB hostage in Denmark for over a year and refuses to part with him. I also have one that was picked up by a young guy whom I actually met on the trails. He only found about 5 caches when he picked up my TB and hasn’t placed it yet. This seems discouraging, but I have also had a TB turn up after being missing for a year. So, I have hope yet.

    😯 100!!!! HOLY CACHES Batman!!!! Between that event and the one up near Rhinelander and possibly another one in St. Cloud… I’m going to need a new pair of hiking shoes and more days off! Not to mention a few hundred batteries.

    in reply to: Who’s going to geowoodstock V? #1870981

    I’d love to go… unfortunately, I have a new job and won’t have vacation time available until way after May. 😥

    in reply to: Tack — not sure how to be tactful here #1870904

    😕 I think I’m missing something. What am I supposed to be looking at?

    Regarding the Cache card for the contest caches… the link on the previously mentioned web page does not work. Do you think you can contact whom ever sent you the information and let them know? I would like to have the cache card in hand in order to plan our trip this weekend.

    On second thought… maybe I should wait until the 1st to see if it is available then.

    Thanks.

    LOVE the coin design! The falls were the best… especially if you enter the park on the correct side. 😳
