Garrett and I decided to take an adventure and go due north from the Swamp Thing cache. Through the swamp. Very slow going, trying to avoid getting soaked. Here was the interesting part, though. When we got half way to the cache... in the middle of the swamp, emerged a strange man who was walking slowly without shoes on in the swamp. Yes, you heard me right. In a swamp, wearing socks. He started conversing with us, and he was very... um... gone. He lit a cigarette and started talking about, slowly, and sometimes broken "oh, that GPS thing, I found them all. And I don't even have a GPS. The one you're looking for is right here... but they took it." (even though we were still 250 meters away from the cache site) He later wandered off very slowly and layed down in the middle of the swamp. Very strange. Anyway, once we got near him, we quickly ducked into the trees and got to the main park area. Bizarre. Our feet got soaked from all the running about in the swamp. Anyway, when we got to the cache we left a travel bug and took the deck of cards... fun adventure!!!! (although I don't recommend going the route we took - follow the directions as to where to park above!)
E-Mail details:
There are more details from that story that I left out to a) make it shorter and b) to make it safe for younger audiences or those easily offended. (i.e. no direct drug references and vulgarity not included)
He was very certainly high, and we were guessing it was something harder than weed - we weren't sure what, we had not seen a guy high this specific way before. Perhaps it was a /lot/ of very good weed... we don't generally partake in that sort of stuff so we couldn't tell. His face was all blushed and his eyes were incredibly dilated. He moved with a very slow demeanor and was easily amused. He did have a bike and his shoes about 50 meters out of the swamp, and after we found the cache we did see him bike very slowly away. We ducked in the trees so he wouldn't see us, as he was previously insistent that he follow us to the cache. We both were amazed that he could ride the bike. And yes, he did lay down IN THE SWAMP... only for a minute or two, though.
Kinda freaked us out, but end for good laughs and a story in the end. There was a point where he was talking so weird that we debated intentionally going the wrong direction so we'd lose him earlier.
So yeah, feel free to post it if you'd like - send me a link to it if you do, if that's possible. You can include the above tidbits if they are appropriate.
Geeeesh, Thank you for taking ME out of the swamp....that guy was creeping me out...he started talking to me about his bike and that the sky was soooo beautiful. He tried to give me a 'hit' but since I didn't move he just placed it to my lips and then back to his, then we heard people in the swamp and he said 'shhhhh, pretty m&m, I'll be back soon' while putting his finger to his lips as he quietly put me back in the cache. Whew, Thank goodness you guys came along.
me2 has been kidnapped, whereabouts unknown. It is widely believed that due to the avatar-changing model @ PF, she may be re-appearing in a different form. Stay tuned ...
Once upon a time There lived a king. The King had a beautiful daughter, the Princess.
But the kingdom was a sad place. There was no laughter, and no joy. The problem was, that everything the Princess touched would melt. No matter what, metal, wood, plastic...anthing she touched would melt!!
Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. The king despaired. What could he do to help his beautiful daughter? He consulted his wizards and magicians.
One wizard told the king, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured."
The King was overjoyed. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt at her touch, would marry her and inherit the King's wealth.
Three young princes took up the challenge.
The first Prince brought a very hard alloy of titanium. When the Princess touched it, it melted. The Prince went away sadly.
The second Prince brought a huge diamond, thinking that diamond is the hardest substance in the world and will not melt.
But, alas, once the Princess touched it, it melted. He too went away disappointed.
The third Prince approached. He told the Princess, "Put your hand in my pocket and feel what is in there." The Princess did as she was told, though she turned red.
She felt something hard. She held it in her hand...and it did not melt!!
The King was overjoyed! Everybody in the kingdom was overjoyed!
And the third Prince married the Princess and the both lived happily ever after.
Sorry it took so long to put her in a cache but since we visited Minnesota we haven't cached much Once but anyway here she is in WI hope she enjoyed the trip. Once again sorry for the delay. Socko and Vincetti
I was kidnapped by the Italian Mob duo, Socko and Vincetti!
They kept me in their pocket- I could peek from under my blindfold, you shoulda seen the way they were eyeing me - they wanted to lick me so badly.
I could hear a wrist watch next to me - It was engraved "J.Hoffa" !
They tried grilling me under the hot lights -They wanted to know where someone named 'Spike' was hiding out, but I kept my cool, I didn't melt!
They buried me in a metal cache in Wisconsin thinking no one would ever find me! But I never cracked! I kept my hard shell through the whole ordeal. I knew someone would come for me.
my team consists of three people. Mel, my wife, Vincetti, my 15 year old stepson, and me. we did not steal any travel bugs. This subject gets a little sticky however. Vincetti has a condition called obsesive compulsive disorder, and manifests it by doing things a little differently than most people. I asked him several times if he had any of the travel bugs, and he didn't answer me. I finally had his mother pin him down and he admitted that he had three of them. His reply was, what's the big deal. I'm off all summer and can place them anytime I want. I had to lay down the law and tell him that the rules for travel bugs were that you reported them as soon as you collected them, and then you placed it as soon as possible. I think he understands now, and if not, I will keep a closer eye on him when we hunt in the future. Out entire team appologizes for the mishap.
oh my god! I thought I was only dreaming. - I was really a boytoy? I remember when I dated 15 year old boys! on 2nd thought - I probly taught him a few things- ;) no wonder he didn't want to give me up his secret green love slave
Cool! While I was in Illinois did they take me to the Oprah Winfrey Show? I would like to think she had a show on travel bugs and I got to be a guest speaker :)
While in Michigan can someone take me past where Madonna grew up and then take me for a drive on the 8 Mile in a red corvette like Prince sang about? Thanks
That is soooo cool I got to visit a covered bridge and Jesse James house! I just found out part of my missing family lives in Missouri--- my bug is soooo lucky to travel!
thanks Ian for letting me live through the eyes of a 'bug' :)
oh, we'll be back. hahahahaha
Looks like sexy legs and frog legs are in! ;)
palina-JOE!
Total distance travelled: 1541.63 mile(s)

I couldn't find myself - whew! Someone moved me!
A NEW HUNT:
Find Me2!
what park was I taken from?
McCullough Park in Shoreview
I will be replacing it with a new bug, but I don't know if I should use M & M, Catwoman, American Flag, or ???
Ideas?
just hang on- the m&m will be back -
she is 'me' for the Winter Carnival hunt- she changed like a camelion throughout the year ;p
come on, baby. what happened to the rumors that you were gonna be something else during the hunt?
uh, I hae no CLUE what that means!

And the third Prince married the Princess and the both lived happily ever after.
The question is?!?!?!?
What WAS the object in the Prince's pocket???
They were M&M's, of course.
THEY melt in your MOUTH, NOT in your HAND!!
(What were YOU thinking?)
well i for one was thinking that she was cured when she touched his pocket and it didn't melt.
she placed her hand IN his pocket!
and she wasnt expecting to play 'pool' I am sure ;p
yes but in placing her hand in his pocket, did she not touch the pocket itself?
you can dream what you want Ares - if you want her to touch the pocket than you can believe she touched the pocket. ;)
uh, honey, what exactly are you trying to imply by that statement? that i'm not really thinking she was touching the pocket? ;)
oh and, uh, joe.
F the whole thing. Ares can have her touch his pocket and I'll have her venture off to wherever else she wants.
P.S. Nice unclaimed Joe there dude. ;-)
you were saying?
You've got to have some magical powers to edit that post after 7 1/2 hours.
