Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Top 10 reasons

I wondered if you were going to include me in the Bombs Away cache 
history.  Remember that was the day I got the Jeep and we went out to 
rescue Geo the Otter, stopping here first to grab the cache from the 
highway?  I was razzed the next day because one of the Beeline DPS guys 
stopped by and checked out my ride, seeing the badge hanging from the 
mirror.  Good times those were.

You must be referin' to GC4FBB! That was a cool cache. Of course, the math
    

was all messed up and, quite frankly, it really isnt possible to throw
    

some 
  

lightweight piece of ABS plastic tube out of an airplane and expect
    

someone 
  

to know EXACTLY where it is gonna land... but... a few brave geocachers
    

took 
  

up the challenge to try and find this cache. Team Sand Dollar had actually
    

gotten the first to find. But found it a day after he was originally out 
there, after getting some clues from the cache owner. He had only been 50 
feet from it the day before! Not bad Loran! Empanege (the cache owner) 
actually updated the description and hint to help out. But for Loran (and 
myself), there was no help and we just had to search a huge area of
    

desert. 
  

I actually went out there the next day after Team Sand Dollar found it,
    

with 
  

no clues or extra hints, and was able to make the find. I actually made
    

the 
  

find without any of the additional hints! :) But on a hot April afternoon,
    

I 
  

spend a LONG time walking around aimlessly in the desert searching for 
something I didnt even know what! The desert in this area was rather
    

sparse 
  

and very little vegetation. So there wasnt many places to hide one. The 
container was suppose to be laying out in the open (which it was when I 
found it)... but was still a serious challenge to find since there were no
    

exact posted coords. I think the coords posted was where he threw it out,
    

or 
  

something like that. Then the cache owner wanted you to do some math to
    

find 
  

out where it landed.. what the speed of the airplane was and stuff like 
that. Well you also have to take into account varying wind directions and 
speeds at different altitude... none of which was stated on the cache
    

page, 
  

and well.. quite frankly it is not really a solvable puzzle.. IMHO. I
    

think 
  

the actual information given in the description stated the heading of the 
airplane and the speed of the plane. But I believe at the time that was
    

all 
  

that was given. So, I just walked in that direction from the posted 
coordinates and searched and searched and searched some more until I found
    

it! So, after Loran and then I and I think Wyle E was next to find it...
    

the 
  

cache hint and description was updated to give a more exact location. As I
    

look at this cache today... I see it is still active! Wow!!!! I found that
    

in April of 2002!!! My first year geocaching! It was last found on January
    

15th of this year by Graldrich and AZCactus. Before that find... it was
    

last 
  

found by none other than Brian-Team AI on June 7, 2004! It went a year and
    

a 
  

half without a find!!! Anyways, this cache brings back some fond memories
    

of 
  

the fun days of geocaching!

A cache found by balloon? Who did that? You must be referin' to GCHPF8. :)
