I did I leave it there in the cache?
I search the world over and I thought I found true bounty.
Another found it.
And PHTTT, it was gone!
(Sung to the tune of "Where O' where are you tonight?" from the TV show "HEE HAW".)

This was the chorus. Anybody think of any verses?? ]]> Thu, 19 Aug 2010 01:43:54 -0700 http://www.wsgaonline.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=472 http://www.wsgaonline.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=470 did you vote if not , WHY?...its simple, find a cache thats nominated...and if ya like it ...VOTE ON IT!!!

What iconic image/idea/place/person/item/or ??? comes to mind when you think of Washington State? Some example might be rain, Mt. Rainier, coffee, orcas . . . you get the idea. More than one is fine . . . I'm interested in your ideas.

Another way to put it might be: When you look at it, what makes you think of Washington State?]]> Thu, 28 Jan 2010 08:44:24 -0700 http://www.wsgaonline.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=322 http://www.wsgaonline.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=265
Heck thats no question. Its obvious! You cache you idiot!

That statement is my moto.

The feeling of going out to go caching is euphoric. Its the thrill of the hunt, the find, the sigining of a prestine log! Its all quite intoxicating!

The fun begins at the computer, searching for places with a bunch of caches. Sometimes I am looking for a specific cache and want to look for others in the area if I am making a lengthy drive. Then the Garmins are loaded and the cachemobile is burning rubber to the cache field. Hey, the sooner you are at your destination, the sooner the smileys can show up. Hey, you know you are a smiley junky! I am not the only one!

Let have a little fun here. How about some Jeff Foxworthyisms relating to our obession of Geocaching. I will start us off

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A GEOCACHER.......

when during the middle of your wedding ceremony, all you can think of are the caches near the hotel where you are going to stay for your honeymoon.

when the following sentance makes perfect sense to you, "The other day I had a CO-FTF with another cacher whos GPSr had sat reception issues due to the canopy and thus our geosense kicked in at the GZ until we got the smiley.

when you refer to your friends by names like FTFer, Cacheman and smiley junky instead of their real name.

when you are at a convention and you are thinking up of excuses the bolt so you can find that 3/2 cache two blocks away.

Ok theres some of mine, now you guys come up with some and add them to this post. Have fun!]]> Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:39:05 -0700 http://www.wsgaonline.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=265 http://www.wsgaonline.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=260
Background:
A local radio station did a story on a missing girl in my area and was asking for volunteers to come out and joining the search. The Police have ended there organized searches and now its being left up to the family to coordinate them. I spent this past weekend out there with about 12 others searching the woods and ATV trails. I had brought my GPS which was very useful when trying to describe the where we had gone and items we had marked. I was thinking to myself how sad it was only 12 people showed up and those who had could barley read a map, and were not very comfortable in the woods.

So the question I'm putting out there is how do I get GeoCachers involved in these searches and has anyone else done something like this in the past. We have a great community of people with a special skill set looking for things out of place.

Thanks for any advice you may have and if you have a search going on in your area please take the time to go out and help.

I'm a newbie geocacher and a new WSGA member. I was wondering if there are any other motorcycling geocashers? Or should that be geocashing motorcyclists. Either way I would be happy to meet up with other riders to go geocaching. I live in Everett and work at the UW. As the evenings get lighter I plan to seek out out a few caches almost every day on my way home.

Let me know.

It's us, the former Schwartzfarm-ians. We are now known as AnnasBoyz instead due to changes in families, etc. We are also now based up in Cheney so I guess that makes us part of the Inland Empire Chapter? Just thought I would peek in and say hello to ya'll. We're getting back into caching pretty intensely now and are enjoying it. The new husband and I geocached on our honeymoon, of all things! LOL

I'll cut this short for now. Feel free to PM or IM me if you like.

Sincerely,

Anna (Schwartz) Treece

I've always provided this recipe for anyone that wanted it and thought this might be a good use for this section of the new forums.

Allanon's Mom's Rice Pudding

1C white or brown long grain rice
1C granulated sugar
1-2 Tbl vanilla
6-8 eggs
2 Tbl Cinnamon
4C Milk
1C Raisins (may be left out or substitutions made, like Dates or other dried fruit)

Cook rice until tender (approx. 20 min for white rice, 30 for brown...or just follow the package directions). When done, drain and rinse.

While rice is cooking, mix eggs (more eggs, bigger custard), vanilla, sugar, raisins, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.

Heat milk to almost boiling. Remove from heat and add to egg mixture. Mix well.

Butter a 12" round by 3" deep casserole dish. Spread rice into the bottom, then add egg/milk mix. Sprinkle top with nutmeg. Bake at 425 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until a knife/toothpick inserted comes out clean.]]> Sun, 26 Oct 2008 09:40:06 -0700 http://www.wsgaonline.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=28
