Yes it Lois and a fun time was had when we all met there to do it one evening a couple of years ago in February I believe. That is YOP in the far distance.

I think you're right! It's not live. :)
For those of you who haven't done this cache yet, tomorrow just happens to be a -1.8 foot low tide. Normally, this would get you quite close, but with the storm and flooding, I bet you couldn't get close at all.
Check back in October, I predict something big...
The Earth Caches are educational. We are coming to Southern Maine but not until Friday - later.
Will post a new picture soon.
If you think that's fun you should try hiding a cache or releasing a TB into the wild . . . now that's living the wild life. ;) :DQuote:

Could you let my wife know this . . . and yes I am just kidding since she is the most understanding and forgiving person I know . . . I mean anyone who willingly chooses to live with me would have to have the patience and love of a saint. :DQuote:

I personally will never but out another TB or geo-coin and I'm still debating if I should put out the coin that Cache Maine dedicated to us or keep it. Seems someone else will just steal it if I put it out. Fortunately, only one of my geocaches has gone missing, and I replaced it and have had no issues with it.
Someone out there must have a huge collection of geo-coins and jeeps as these things disappear from action within a very, very short time. Too bad cause it kind of ruins that part of the sport for the rest of us.
:confused: :(
Let's see . . . nope, not our anniversary. My wife helped me out on that point . . . we were married on August 31st (last day in the last month of "Summer") in 1996 . . . so remembering this date is pretty easy.Quote:

I'm pretty sure I haven't broken anything else of her's in terms of possessions.
And check, I remembered her birthday . . . once again she made it easy on me by being born on Feb. 1st . . . one day before Groundhog's Day . . . although I must confess for a long time I kept thinking it was on Groundhog's Day.
This said . . . as a dim-witted guy I often forget things that are important, when it comes to home improvement projects I am mentally impaired and when it comes to using logic and reason . . . well, let's just say I'm no Vulcan . . . and yet time after time despite the many mistakes I make she continues to forgive . . . I guess true love truly is kind, forgiving and the most important thing in this world.
You've just got to have faith in others . . . which truly is a strange thing for me to say since this runs counter to my belief about the core being of people in general.Quote:

My caches have done pretty well so far . . . other than some water issues and one multi stage that must have been found my a muggle and just left on a park bench.
Have faith . . . just try one cache . . . pick a place that is out of the way and a place that may not be as apt to be muggled for that first cache . . . making it a members-only cache may also help reduce the likelihood of their being issues.
speakin of Mrs. FFJ, how did those seasonal mums turn out this year??? :pQuote:

Quite right . . . I don't have a guess, but if I remember correctly I think I remember reading a log awhile back about the Francis Family and Wellsuh inadvertently meeting up with each other in a cache somewhere north or east of Bangor . . . of course I could be wrong. I'd like to phone a friend or poll the audience. . . . :DQuote:

Well, I'm sure I'm wrong, but we gotta get a new clue somehow, so here's one you liked just as much: Monhegan Moonwatch
sorry, no. but it is mid-coast
Well, uh . . . they look kind of dead so once again if anyone out there in geocaching land happens to know of any place selling Spring mums I will need them.Quote:

I am having issues uploading a photo so unless someone else can upload it I will have to pass it on to someone else. The photo I wanted to use is at this address. And I think it is a good one for someone new to the thread. Or if you wish just double click on the URL for the photo.
