I tend to agree quite a bit with redrusty. Now don’t get me wrong. I am not a scientist. I love science.
I have no doubt that we contribute to global warming. I will say that again. Contribute. The latest ice age ended relatively a short time ago. How do these scientists know that we are not just warming up yet? Ice ages do have warm periods, when glaciers retreat before advancing again.
What about carbon dioxide? Plants breath it in and breath out oxygen. Is that not helping cleanse our atmosphere? And as far as the depleting ozone layer goes. How much of it is actually destroyed by volcanoes erupting? Look how big Pinatubo was. Or even Kilahwea which has been erupting for over twenty years now.
Anyway, I too am always willing to do my part to green up. There is a lot more that I would like to do, but is just too damn expensive. I realize this post is not meant for debate, so I apologize.
Is there a link somewhere to be able to view the pics? I would love to see the video, but with dial up, it’s out of the question.

What I really don’t like is the micro in a pine tree hide. I found some nice size caches hanging in pine trees. So why hide a micro in there? I thought caches were meant to be found not placed with the “I bet you can’t find this one” train of thought.
I also added a pair of ratcheting shears to my cache bag just for such hides.
Thats right instead of just not doing micros, instead go out and destroy someone elses hide. Real mature and I bet you would be the first person screaming if someone did that to yours or takes it.
I didn’t think it would take this long for a reaction like that. It is out of frustration that I think of pruning every pine tree I see. Rest assured, I would not actually do something like that. There are many cachers in my area that would vouch for me. Unfortunately, the cachers in this forum don’t personally know me, or I them. I hope I put your mind at ease a bit bugsmasher.
I don’t mind micros so much if there is a good reason for one. In a high muggle area, or maybe a place needs a cache but the only available place is only big enough for a micro.

I don’t know what to say, except for, to each their own. I see no need to bash anybody for their beliefs or nonbeliefs. I would like to add a few comments, but this would just lead to a pages long rant and rave. By the way, “God Bless America” and each and every one of you.
Any final tally on round two yet?
I love cemetery caches. They, however don’t like me. I have more problems in cemeteries than any other place as far as my GPSr bouncing all over the place. I am willing to bet that about 70% of the time, I will have at least three different GZs more than 20ft apart. Personally I think there are quite a few practical jokers buried in these cemeteries, and when they see me coming, they know there will at least one more laugh.

bad enough to get “DNF” on a cache … but now to get it on your emails too 😕
ROFLMAO! 😆
Intersting. However, I don’t think that I would be able to open the refrigerator with the dog around. With all that tupperware in there I get confused. The dog would think he hit pay dirt.

Radio program to get coordinates? Camp out or picnic? Did I miss something here?
Oops, that would be the picnic, not the campout. 😳 The cache being discussed, GC1476E, is a mystery/puzzle multicache which requires you do a bit of homework to get the coordinates for the first waypoint… people would have to do this before arriving at the picnic.
After the hours I’ve spent last weekand trying to solve a puzzle, to no avail I might add, I have really learned to hate research. Congrats to hoppe2findyou though for being FTF on it. I guess I will take a look at the one mentioned above. Maybe I will fare a bit better. Thank you for thr information.

If anyone sees an issue with this – like according to the geo-gods, I’m not allowed to do this, please let me know.
The only question is, are people going to remember to listen to the radio program to get the coordinates to waypoint 1 before coming to the campout? If they don’t do this they are sunk…

Don’t you know that it’s fashionable to be late? 😀
Congrats to you T&B! Big milestone in my book. Some day I hope to join you and the others who have already accomplished this feat.

But, more importantly, can you eat them? I love parsnips!!
(I may or may not be kidding)

I remember reading once that it is edible but I wouldn’t want to be the guinea pig. The article said something to the effect that the wild stuff is the same as the cultivated, but after it turns wild its defense mechanisms are brought out. If I remember right, the only “poisonous” part of the plant, if you will, is above ground. But like I said, I wouldn’t want to be the guinea pig. And I am certainly taking no responsibility in any way, shape, or form to what happens if somebody were to try it and become sick, injured, dead, incapacitated or in any way become abnormal in comparison to their usual self.
Did I cover my rear end enough?
I did a little caching today and saw some wild parsnip. As it is that time of year again, I just want to remind all of you to be cautious when around these plants.
I’m finally registered and ready to go. It took a bit of doing. Some pages were coming up in trplicate and info boxes were overlapped with instructions. I guess that’s what I get with dial up. Problem solved when I switched to Safari from AOL. I feel like I just found a nanno after my first trip instead of the usual 5 or 6 trips!
