Hi Folks,
I have accepted a Manufacturing Operations Manager position with a =
company in Forest Grove, Oregon, (Portland area) and will therefore soon =
be relocating there with my family. I will be leaving June 14th and =
will only return once or twice to sell the house, etc. and then deal =
with the movers and get the family, dog, & cat on a plane to Oregon.
I would like to keep as many of our caches here active as possible, =
however to do that, someone will have to adopt them.
The caches I would like to see adopted are:
Cactus Point Vista GC7D1D
Crismon Tide GC80A4 (now that the hot =
weather is here, I can replace this one).
Dance School Joke Stash GC446C
Fall Nymph #1 GC9864
Fall Nymph #2 GC9B6A
Fall Nymph #3 GCGZ6Q
Rescue Me's Hilly Hideout GC35C6
Rocket Men and Machines Cache GCB95F =20
If anyone would kindly like to adopt these caches, please let me know.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who has hidden the caches that =
we have found and contributed to the Guy's Family time that my boys and =
I have experienced while Geocaching. Most of the caches that we have =
done together were done while my wife, (who works most Friday nights as =
a Labor and Delivery nurse) gets her rest on a Saturday. It's provided =
a real bond for my boys and I and also mercifully removed us from the =
house Saturdays so that my wife could get some much needed rest. She =
works 2 - 12 hour nights a week, and she works Friday nights so that our =
younger boys are only in daycare once per week.
Caching has taken us to places we had no idea existed, and given us time =
to enjoy all the playground equipment on hundreds of parks and green =
areas in the Valley. Just try to get through a microcache in a park =
with playground equipment and try to get my toddler out of there without =
some playtime. Factor in diaper changes, getting them something to eat, =
bathroom breaks, pure meltdowns, getting out the baby backpack, loading =
Erik into it, forgetting sunscreen, unloading, applying, catching, =
loading, oops forgot GPS in SUV, hiking to cache, , unloading him, =
Trying to keep my toddler from taking every car he ever saw in a cache, =
trying to sign log while trying to catch him, loading up for return =
trip, halfway down realizing I still have the pen from the cache, hiking =
back up, going back, getting tired after a long day so dumping the extra =
water that I always carry for the hikes, dealing with 12 y.o. sarcasm as =
we hike back DOWN the hill - I can beat him up with the backpack most =
times, however years of playing football and wrestling have made it so =
any decent just KILLS my knees so he can beat me down, getting back to =
car, getting backpack off back, getting toddler in safety seat, cussing =
because I can't fasten it, putting backpack in back of car, leaving GPS =
on the back bumper and driving off, returning 5 minutes later stunned =
that it is still there, driving home while all kids are asleep and =
looking in the rearview mirror and realize how much I love to spend this =
time with them...Marathon caching has never been an option for us...nor =
would we ever want it to be.
So, in closing I can truthfully say that Arizona Geocaching has been an =
adventure for us, especially with an event that occurred that we never =
thought we would find. So again, we thank you all. Good luck to all of =
you and have fun out there caching. We're looking forward to finding =
out how they do things in Oregon.
Again, if anyone would like to adopt one of the above caches, please let =
me know.
