EARLY FENCES. Messalonskee Trail Series, #7

[quote=Medawisla;39261]Messkalonski trails (I'm misspelling this though, you can see from earlier posts) It's in Oakland.

GC17Q2H We are going to head over to Oakland and do this 7 cache series. I don't want to try and set a time to leave the WWWWWW4 as I do not know how Bruce is going to run the event. I don't think we will be out past dark, (should be light out til almost 5:20PM) but a headlamp and a Dr. should definitely be advised. Just in case! :eek::p

Sheesh! This is WWWWWW4! We'll run it just like the last 3! :p:p

Seriously, though, nothing formal. A simple meet, greet, and EAT! Should be winding down by 2:00 - 3:00...

Can't you go over and shovel it out for us? Cascade Mill Road is that the best place to park?

I don't know if I can manage that extra distance on the hike. :)

Don't forget - if anyone has a TB/geocoin they want us to take to Europe in April, log it into the event and let us know. We're going to Spain, Portugal and - hopefully - Morocco. :D:D

Thanks for the reminder. That is an invitation to travel. I wished the Gorilla (ExoticPetMan's Bobo) I sent with TAT to his event (where the fellow from Europe came) had gone somewhere - it vanished! Urghhhh........but those are the breaks. Maybe someday he will show up again. I put some work into that baby and he had some extra stuff too.

Now - on to your journey. Let's see what we might do.

Morocco is fun. A word to the novice, camels get up BACK LEGS FIRST!!!
I cannot stress this enough, almost went over the horns. (You can't really see the horns, but they are there:p ) Evil animals...

We were at Tat's event and sent our "Maine Chickadee Plate #3" to Germany with "TravelingViking". It's now in France.

Ironically, TravelingViking was the person who picked up our "Maine Chickadee Plate #1" TB from the Fort Williams Cache near Portland in 2003 and took it to Germany. It has since traveled all over the world. :D:D

Must have been the wings and feather on the Chickadee - I should have known better than to release something with hair and fur LOL;)

I chat with a cacher from Portugal and I'd like to send a sig item their way. His cacher name is SUp3rFM. (aka Hugo and Ana).

This is so cool....:)

Took me a while to find them on gc.com, but I see they live in Lisbon, and since that's where we expect to visit (at a minimum), looks like this is a good possibility.

I broke down and bought a SD card version of Garmin's City Navigator NT - Spain & Portugal for our 60csx. Sheesh! Expensive or what? Hope I can sell it when we get back! LOL!

It's 1:22 on the day after the event, and there are still 11 TB's and geocoins logged into the event. Please pick them up! :D:D
02-24-2008, 05:20 PM

A lot of those are coins folks logged in for discovery - Team Richards, Team2Hunt, etc. The only one of mine left is the one I handed off to you after you set up your little table - Hollora's World Cache Traveler Geocoin - gave it to you first thing so it could go with you on the trip. Hope you still have it - if not it will be the shortest lived coin I ever put out. Nice event - thanks for sponsoring.

You folks have a wonderful time on your trip!

Sheesh! You must have given it to RULOST2?, and she never tells me anything! LOL! :o:o

But yes, I've got it now. And have logged it out. There are now 10 trackables left! :D:D
02-24-2008, 05:50 PM
hollora

Don't blame it on RULOST2 - you may need her sometime..:eek:..heeee, heee - but I see you got it and thank you:). It will be fun to track it's journey.

If you meet a nice cacher it's ok, based upon your judgement, to pass it off rather than drop it in a cache - that's up to you.;) Have a wonderful trip!:D

A couple of TBs which may be problematic:( but the largest % I believe are discovery coins dropped.:o It is nice to get all the trackables cleaned right up and close out the event.

Thanks again for a great event, we have picked up our coins.

I have the Flying Loon TB. Stef handed it off to me at one one of the caches on the snowshoe trek. I am waiting for her to drop it first before I officially grab it.

The snowshoe

Just thought you would all like to know just how the snowshoe went. I had my track on, and kept it in Mapsource.

We headed over to Oakland for: Messalonskee Trail Series

We hit the trail at 2:08PM, we snowshoed to 7 caches in just over 3:31:09 hours/minutes/seconds. The roundtrip was 3.8 miles and we (I) averaged 1.1 MPH. The journey finished at 5:38PM, and that was 16 minutes after sunset. Thanks to all who joined us for the afternoon. Truly a Team effort. :)

Yes, sorry, life got a hold of me, as I was snowshoeing to all hours of the night Saturday, busy with family on Sunday and work today, but now all TBs are logged and dropped :) I didn't realize it but the SWCD Butterfly came from the Messalonskee Trail and that's where I dropped it...:o:p

OK - Rubic's Revenge is the last one, and I know someone took it. Fess up!
