RE: Morty.  We may be looking for a fairly new white pickup (possibly an =
F50).

I arrived at the Pushing Tin cache (GCG1N6) at a little before 2:00 on th=
e 3rd.  I parked across the road from the cache in a dirt lot as far NE a=
s I could get to the cache (about 150 ft).  As I was getting out of my va=
n, a white pickup traveling SW came to a quick stop on the road next to m=
e and then suddenly turned right (jumping a curb) onto the dirt lot. (Had=
 he traveled another 30 ft he wouldn't have needed to jump the curb.)  He=
 then pulled up behind me, sat there a few seconds and then slowly drove =
further SW about 600 feet.  He then turned his truck so he was facing my =
direction and parked.  His actions made me think that he was a cacher by =
the way he handled the truck (stopping suddenly on the road and then turn=
ing, as if he were checking his GPSr and realized he was at the site).  (=
you know the drill . . . we all do it!  [;-)] )

I left the site at around 2:20 and the cache had not been plundered yet. =
 When I arrived home and logged my find (somewhere between 5:00 and 6:00)=
 Morty had already logged his find advising us that the cache had been pl=
undered.  His profile was already set up and the nine caches he had plund=
ered for the day were already posted.  The time frame would just about be=
 right if he plundered the cache at around 2:30.  That would give him tim=
e to drive (home?) and log the nine caches by 6:00 at the latest.

So . . . we may be looking for a fairly new white truck!

Note:  The 8:20 p.m., May 3rd posting on the cache page by dpo was either=
 a wrong time or dpo was there on the 2nd instead of the 3rd.  Dpo's log =
entry was already posted when I logged my find between 5:00 and 6:00 on t=
he 3rd.  The cache was plundered after dpo found the cache. =20

I agree, it seems to have been planned and then re-planned once all the
anger came to the surface. From reading his profile page, it would seem t=
hat
Mortey hasn't yet re-hidden the cache bags. We will have to wait to see, =
I
guess. I agree with what Scott just said, it also almost sounds like Mort=
ey
is someone we all know, because we're supposed to figure out his identity=
.
Either that, or we're supposed to go up to complete strangers and ask, "A=
re
you the Dread Pirate Mortey?" (Princess Bride quote there for you movie
buffs.)

Either way, I will be interested to see who is the first person to spot M=
ad
Mortey. I will be on the lookout. Arrr.
