Well, I must say that you Americans do
caching a little differently than we do up in Canada. I was in Orlando on
business and thought I'd grab a cache while in the area. Not wanting to
look like a wimp to the locals, I only do 5/5's when I'm travelling, and this
one popped up on my search. My rental car ran out of gas halfway there, so
I hopped a train that was going in the right direction. When my GPSr said
"Arriving Destination", I was about to jump from the train when there was an
incredibly loud explosion.
I regained consciousness a while later to find
myself pinned under a mangled train car. It took a bit of doing, but I
managed to squirm out from under it. I was bleeding from several places,
but at least I have a Garmin, so my GPSr was still working. Could the
cacher who found my toe please email me through this site?
There were
quite a few people in a variety of uniforms wandering around the area. I'm
not familiar with your American organizations, so I'm not sure who they were or
what they were doing there. I found a couple of gerbil pelts and some
twisted wire where my GPSr zeroed out, so I used the wire to hold the pelts in
place as makeshift bandages. I couldn't find any other sign of the cache
though.
Then I ran into another cacher who said the cache had been moved
down the tracks a bit, and something about it being made into a multi. We
searched together for a while, but he kept nattering on about how hard it was,
so when I ran across a machine gun near the edge of the crater, I shot
him.
I finally found the cache. When I opened the box a rattlesnake
bit my nose. I ripped the thing off my face, beat it to death with my
GPSr, and tied it around my neck as a tourniquet until after I managed to suck
the poison out of my own face using a bit of fuel line hose I salvaged from the
train engine. Just in time too, as I was starting to feel a bit
dizzy.
Back to the cache. I left a Canadian flag patch and took the
atomic bomb. (Do you have any idea how hard it is to get those up here in
Canada? Even Walmart is usually out of stock, and Home Depot only carries
about half the parts you need to make one.) I signed the log book, which
is pretty wet with blood and should probably be replaced, but I'm only posting a
note online because this was way too easy to claim as find for a 5/5 rated
cache. Does this really qualify as challenging down here? Like I
said, you Americans do caching differently than we do up in Canada. Change
it to a 1.5/2 and maybe I'll change it to a smiley.
Thanks for the
cache.

Ummmm....I got home with an extra
appendage....attached...actually, growing out of my forehead. Anyone else
noticing this? Maybe it was that odd-colored gas I walked through from
that leaking tanker car. It does make typing easier, though.

As I approached the area I noticed the
strange looking guy with the horns wandering around. The guy kinda gave me
the creeps. He kept hissing and talking to himself. I decided to
take a longer trail to the cache and go around him.
After wandering
around the area looking for another way into the cache area, I noticed what I
thought was a "Yeti." I his behind some rocks and after a few minutes this
strange cacher wearing nothing but a backpack and shoes came skipping by me
singing "Zip a dee do da." I snapped a photo and decided to go back to
town and have a few beers before trying for this cache again. I'll try to
come back later when hopefully things settle down somewhat.

Hmmmmm. With the crater and wrecked train, it was pretty
easy to pinpoint the exact location of this cache. You might want to
downgrade the rating a little bit. Hard part was digging through the
rubble to locate the container. Good thing I had my pickaxe with me for
these kinds of caches.
Took the Anthrax, left one of my signature duck
legs. And yes, I traded up since those duck legs are considered
aphrodisiacs in many parts of the world.

After escaping from the Air Force MPs (see
my post on Capaldo's "Da Bomb") we thought that we'd stop and snag this one on
the way back to Jax. I was disappointed to find that the previous finder had
already took the a-bomb (that's OK we really didn't have an equal trade item
since the MP's confiscated all our good trade stuff). At least there were still
plenty of box cutters and pirate music CDs (I sure hope the RIAA guys don't find
out I snagged one of those I hear that they'll smack you around worse than the
MPs [B)] ) Log was too wet with blood to sign, so I plucked eyebrow hairs
and arranged them in the still damp bloos so that they spell out my name. Took
pirated Jim Nabors Greatest Hits cd and left copy of "How to defuse a bomb"
pamphlet that I printed from the net. TFTH (Gotta get going - here come a bunch
of guys that look like agent Smith from the Matrix. They must be the RIAA guys
coming for me)

I flew down from Birmingham on my lunch hour to search for
this one. I made it back on time! I finally found it, but those
damned tripwires cut into my legs something awful. I picked the wrong day to try
nude caching. I got the cuts on my butt too, because as I sat down on the
tracks to sign the log I saw another "log" right beside me, and when I scooted
to the side someone's broken glasses cut my buttocks! Couldn't find
anything to scoop it up with, so I used the ammo can lid and scooped it into the
cache. Hope the next finder doesn't mind. Brought an entire duffle
bag full of goodies to feed the wildlife, but I didn't manage to lure any of the
alligators near enough to try and shove them in. So I had to settle for
packing the cache full of monkeys. Lots and LOTS of monkeys. I like
monkeys! They're dead already, so no hurry on getting them out. The
box cutter in the cache made it easy to squish a few more in. The
tripwires got me again, and I rolled down the rock
y hill into the
poison ivy. I came rolling out of the bushes, grunting in pain and
protecting my bits from the briars, and fell on some woman's shopping bag who
was sitting on the bench. She yelled a bit, and ran away. I chased her
with her bag, but my tounge was swollen from where I licked the cuts on my
hands, so I was chasing her yelling "Forgot BAG! Yer BAG here! HERE! TAKE
IT!"
Did I mention that I'm not wearing pants? That was hard
to explain to the cops, especially since they chased me all the way back to the
airport. The security guard at the gate was gentler than usual with his generous
cavity search since i was all cut and rashed-up. I had an inside seat on
the plane ride back, and stepping over the guy on the outside was tough.
Slipped and planted my bum on his face. Sorry, guy. Lucky me -- the
guy in the seat next to me moved away, so I had two seats to myself for the
flight back! Good thing, too -- his face smelled like ass!

Seeing as how I'm involved in law
enforcement, I had second thoughts about attempting to find this cache. Aftering
pondering it for a while I said to myself, "What the heck, I'll do it!"
I
changed from my standard police uniform into something more appropriate. Solid
black clothing with a black ski mask. I also carried my trade item in a black
backpack. I used stealth and cunning to reach the cache area. Upon finding the
cache, I looked at all the goodies in the cache container and decided that I
needed a new box cutter, so I took it from the cache and placed it in my
backpack. Also, from my backpack I removed one can of Freeze +P pepper spray
that I had just gotten from the property clerk back at the station and also one
00 12-guage shell. I signed the log book and left my trade items.
I now
thought to myself, since I'm already dressed for finding and logging these types
of caches, I figured I would attempt to log a new locationless cache I saw
listed on
geocaching.com:
[url=http://notachance.com/geocache/crackpipe.htm]Log A
Crack Pipe[/url] <--- Yep, it's a real cache!
Anyways, I was lucky
enough to find a crack pipe to log and even got some bonus points in the process
[:)]
Thanks for the great hide and for the box cutter, as I really needed
it! Happy geocaching!

Heard about the gerbils in the cache and
just had to find this cache to see if Lemmiwinks was there. Thought I
would pick him up and transport him back to Colorado where Mr. Slave is missing
him. Unfortuantely Lemmiwinks seems to have spent too much time in the
cache and was rather dead when I found him. Alas, the Sparrow King
couldn't help him reach the esophagus this time. So dropped off Sparrow
King TB.
Saw four kids approaching this cache from the nearby trestle
as I logged it...one of them bore a striking resemblance to cacher
GroundskeeperWillie. There were mubling something about "moons and
goochers" as I put the cache back.

Wow what an exciting cache, we got up this morning and decided
to do alittle caching, so after we finished up with Brad's cache called Da Bomb,
off we headed to Deltona to do a 5-5 cache...I believe this is our first!
We decided to fly over to access the situation and when we arrived we noticed
that some one had left a geo coin on the track and it apparently tipped the
train over as it was crushing it. This exposed the cache and it was an
easy find...we don't think it should have been rated a 5-5 maybe a
3-3
Thanks for the fun and we helped put out the fire with our plane, see
pictures attached

Whewwww, didn't think I would make it back
alive to log this one.
After chasing down a hobo who had jumped off the
passing train and gave me a mega wedgie, I headed of to find the cache with my
underwear pulled firmly over my forhead.
I finally found the cache with
the help from a squirrel that was walking around the area with a wooden limb
playing old Zepplin tunes on his harmonica. After tipping him 5 bucks, he led me
to the cache. I took a gernade and left a TB.
After signing the log he
invited me back to his place and he made us a campire to sit around. He then
told me stories about how he lost his wife to a train accident while she was
jumping down the tracks on her pogo stick. He then told me how his kids left him
to make a career for themselves in Hollywood. He said the last he had heard from
them, they were doing some ads for a sandwhich shop?

I didnt need a GSP for this one. I could
hear the screaming gerbil as I parked. My brakes aren't that good so I kind of
ran over the cache. I replaced the container with an old warhead, I think it's
dead. Oh well thanks for the cache

I saw the signature assault rife left by
Team Grizzly and had to bag this cache. Snagged the rifle and put A
few test rounds through the log book for a signature then headed off to log the
Bell Tower locationless I've been hearing about. Oh, I left pair of matched
Glocks and a case of ammo. They didn't fit in the cache so I left them in
some handy wreckage taht was nearby.

What cache? Seems that the gerbils
were geneticaly modified by the chemicals leaking from the train wreck and ate
the entire cache and all the train tracks for a mile in either direction.
So, I ate the gerbils. I had walked about 17 miles back towards where I
had parked the atomic skateboard when I had a twinge of conscience, though it
may have been stomach acid. I turned around and jogged back to the cache
location only to find that the entire area had become a lake of glassy material
when the geosiesmic disturbance caused by the gerbils getting out of the cache
had caused the earths crust to crack and leak magma. Anyhow, after taking
a weeks rest for five minutes I recreated the original cache, exactly as it was
to start, using some stuff I had in my goodie bag. Then I went
home!
