Just throwing this idea out there. Do you think Morty would be slick =
enough to post his plunder first, and then go out and actually do the =
deed some time later? This would certainly throw us off the scent, =
although it would be a dirty trick...just like a pirate.

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 =
the 3rd. I parked across the road from the cache in a dirt lot as far =
NE as I could get to the cache (about 150 ft). As I was getting out of =
my van, a white pickup traveling SW came to a quick stop on the road =
next to me 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 turning, 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 plundered. His profile was already set up and the nine caches he =
had plundered for the day were already p osted. The time frame would =
just about be right if he plundered the cache at around 2:30. That =
would give him time 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 the 3rd. The cache was plundered after dpo found the cache. =

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 that
Mortey has n'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 =
Mortey
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, "Are
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 Mad
Mortey. I will be on the lookout. Arrr.
