Oh, that’s all well-and-good….. but… what happens the first time you loose your footing, and go tumbling down into that murky creek?

According to the book that came with my camera, you take out the batteries and memory card, lens (if it’s one of the extra ones) and let everything dry out. It’s supposedly good to go after that. But I also plan to keep everything pretty well protected except when actually in use.

My other Kodak Easy Share (about $200 when new) frequently got wet, dropped on the ground, and once went into the drink for a couple moments. It’s sort of beat up looking, but still takes great pictures! For most of the time I’ve been geocaching it has just been tossed into my backpack and flopped around with everything else. Just recently I acquired a can cozy (at the Jefferson Geocaching Picnic) and that has been my camera protection for that one.

I did buy an actual camera bag this time around….

I love Rib Mountain. And there’s a cache there that I want to get! Plan it and they will come!

Yeah, interesting. There was a link to the article on the home page, and that is no longer working either.

That’s what Mom did when she created her geocaching account — no one had any problem with her late logging.

One of these days we may have to do that for Dad too…

One of us would like to have a meet and greet up here but wonder how many would really be interested in driving this far north to find a few caches. There are several that can take at least half a day to get.

Just say when and I’ll be there!

And by the way….there’s no way I would EVER do that cache a second time!! Those of you who want to are seriously messed up!!

I just read Greyhounder’s experience with The Gauntlet….

I’m scared to go.

Seriously.

That photo of the giant beetle has creeped me out! 😯

That beetle was the LEAST of my troubles….

Does anyone want to make a list of food to bring and share with the group camp sites?

I went on a camping trip in April with 15 people and each person brought something different (see draft list below).

I will volunteer to cook at least 1-2 meals for the group and clean-up after.

Supply List
eggs
bacon
brats
hamburgers
hamburger buns
brat buns
chips
water for dishes and drink
extra ice
paper plates
napkins
Coleman gas for stove

Please respond if you are interested.

Thank you,

I can get lots of napkins — I can bring them along.

Russell, I sent you a PM, I can help you if you would like it. Just PM me back (and thus, we can test out this fun new feature!)

I realize my cache (GCVM4W) is still “in the running” for COTM, but it seems unlikely to be able to pull it out in the long run,

…..so far it looks awfully good…….
