    Well, my buddy finally got back to me. Unfortunately all I got out of him was, “I imagine the internet would be a great resource”. Sorry LB7.

    LOL…no big….I think I might be sold on the Maine coast……

    You won’t be disappointed. Another plus… Maine Lobster is only $2.99 a pound right now! My sister lives there and the stores usually push it for Thanksgiving because it is actually cheaper than Turkey! It tastes much better fresh from the Lobster Pound too.

    One coworker said that they should’ve taken the bailout funds and split it between every tax payer in the US… what was it, 800billion and the 2007 tax payers were about 138 million(wikipedia)… Mathman, what does that make?

    Actually the Total will be $3 billion

    That is roughly $21.74 per taxpayer

    They ought to expand this to GPSrs. If you have a GPS that can’t display more than 6 characters in the cache ID name or doesn’t have a color screen you get $75 to upgrade your clunker. If you have a Lowrance you get $100 automatically.

    That’s good!

    😆 😆 😆

    Good luck with that. They have to seize the engine as part of the recycling.

    I’m not buying from dealer, I’m looking for a private seller of a cheap van.

    I gave my Lumina APV to my son to drive. It has about 190,000 miles on it but runs pretty good. NO RUST either! Ok, that is because it has a plastic body. It’s rated according to the gov’t at 18 mpg’s

    So would you recommend the van? I found a Pontiac Trans-sport with only 135k on it. I’m really considering it, so any feedback would be great!

    I can’t say I haven’t had problems with the vehicle because I have but with age and wear that will happen to any vehicle. I know my son enjoys driving it even though not many 17 year old kids drive a minivan! I know that he likes sitting up higher so that he can see better which I agree with.

    Congratulations!

    We did this cache too and it is well worth the time and adventure. It is such a nice area to explore. I’m glad you had the opportunity to do so.

    Congratulations!

    Keep on having fun but watch out for those cats!

    in reply to: your hides–how many is enough? #1912139

    I have 81 hides. My wife would say that’s enough. However, I am one those cachers who enjoys putting out caches for others to find. Most of mine are close to home so that I can maintain them easily. I Have had help from cachers such as Rick Blick and Team Black Cat when they noticed a problem with a cache and they fixed for me. Thanks.

    I have also learned that a good cache container helps with maintenance problems. I know ammo cans can add a lot of cost especially with a lot of hides but they really do hold up well. The same can be said for Matchstick containers. I started using film canisters and “cheap” tupperware style containers and found out quickly that wouldn’t survive bad winters and animals.

    There have been times where I spend a large amount of time preparing a cache or series and there are times when I say, “Look! A boat landing that needs a cache.” I have a lot of my “Anniversary” caches in what local cachers have affectionately named “MATHMAN SWAMP.” There is little muggle traffic there. 😉

    I would like to place more caches and will when the inspiration hits me.

    This is a nice program for those in the market. One thing I have found out “just browsing” is that dealers are less receptive to negotiating the price because they know about the $3500-4500 CARS program. The price is firm because they know customers will probably still buy the vehicle.
