[Az-Geocaching] Claiming a find when you can't..

Tue Nov 30 19:27:37 MST 2004

Well we made the drive to where our Trusty GPS said and did some searching, 
couldn't find anything that fit the clue, made a call to the AZGEOCACHING 
hot line, even knocked on the door..
found a White peice of Velcro but no cache So with the advice from the help 
line proceeded to empty the cache mobile's glove box of a new log sheet and 
green cache container with white velco signed log and replaced...
well truth be known after a email from the owner will leave the fake 
container until we can again search for the real one...

Well what a difference a day makes!!!!

left the fake container 10am

what changed??? there was vehicle in the driveway without spiderwebs and NO 
ICE CREAM truck driving around distractin us from the in plain site cache

now the best part

      This just goes to show you no good deed goes un punished, the log 
sheet for this cache and I guess container was left a another cache that we 
couldn't find due to Ice Cream truck distraction, see is any one home. That 
is how the log sheet in a new cache just happend to contain a signature of 
Team Evil Fish and not a internet log TEF will
      loctate this cache and log a real find and even sign the logsheet 
again :)..
      As stated we at Team Evil Fish made the 510 foot walk to this cache at 
11am July 18th as for no other reason than to avoid the AZGeocaching hot 
line advice considering the history of this now disguised contianer, the GPS 
took a spell to settle down and give us a better reason to avoid bushlifting 
crossed of the first signature and signed on the next line.

      Thanks for the cache.

      Sorry for the late posting, but I believe I may have been the actual 
first finder. The log had Team Evil Fish on the second line, but no other 
names so I signed right below them. What ever happened to them, anyway? 
Haven't seen them around much...
      Anyway, thanks Graldrich for the hide and the find and all that great 
stuff.

      After reading cache description, I decided the part that stated the 
hardest part is finding how to get to it didn't apply to me; after all I can 
read a map, know the difference between magnetic and true, and can even 
follow a small arrow in heavy traffic. A loop and a half around the 
neighborhood and I was slightly, slightly humbled. Signed in and made no 
trades.
      Thanks for a fun series of caches.

      Wasn't too hard to find a way into or find the cache.
      Thanks for another fun cache.

      This is a familiar area. I built and repaired swimming pools around 
this area for over twenty years. One of the companies I worked for in the 
80's had an office about 500 ft from this cache.
      I located the cache and signed the log at 8:10 this morning. Thanks 
graldrich for the cache.

      Okay so for a couple of days we weren't sure if we were the first to 
find. However we have since confirmed that the log sheet is recycled from 
another cache and yes indeed we can claim first-to-find honors! Yipee, 
Yahoo!

      Gale stayed in the truck with the little geo-dog while Mike tracked 
this one down. He got caught red-handed by a friendly neighbor. Mike, who by 
natural appearances is the kind of shady looking character you don't want to 
meet in isolated dark areas, immediately dropped the cover story and 
explained geocaching. The neighbor thought it was fun. While Mike signed the 
log, the old man walked up to my truck. Of course I stuck with the cover 
story *lie*. The old man was laughing at me and I never caught on. This was 
a fun cache for me in a familiar neighborhood (in my teen years).

      By now, I'm sure, all the neighbors know about the cache. I think 
geocachers will amuse them.
