I know Jake is keeping an eye on this hunt.

I drove through 2 parks where I knew people would be BUT no one was in one of them! I will swing through both places again tonight -but I soooo hope everyone is in the same place!

2 Questions ESD (sorry to bring this up)

1) Are you being serious with all that stuff about your book and if I or Jake were to have found Me2's medallion??? You were just poking fun right??? I mean.. that is just downright uncool if you were being serious cause you were making implications that Jake (and nobody else really) would want to rip your book off and you were saying that Jake isn't deserving of the prize (showing inequality in something that should be fair). Jake has donated a lot of stuff for hunts and I have never seen anyone reject his money... why don't you if you want to make a point??

I don't think I still would have posting duties if I donated something to me2's hunt and told her to burn it if you found the medallion... even if I was partially kidding... just something to keep in mind. Better yet.. what if I told everyone to go there quickly and beat you out of it. Do you think I don't read that stuff or think you are not being serious?? Of course I am guilty by association, I know, but why add me into it also?? I hope I don't come across as cruel to you... maybe you got a bad impression. I just want this "Reggie gets in trouble cause he told Jake people were mad at him on the invite thread but it is ok to just totally say mean crap to him and treat him like he is the only person around doing wrong and not telling him about it" stuff to end. Am I seriously the youngest person here??

2) You aren't trying to send some sort of message or expect some sort of reaction by posting that fable were you?? I have a feeling you were.. but I could be wrong. That is not good territory to be moving into if you were doing that.

I am not mad at you (well not too mad anyway).. I just want clarification

I have no problems with you reg. But I am not the only one here that would not trust Jake at all, Look at the way he acted with the archie comics during the last winter carnival hunt. that's all I have to say about this if you like I will leave this thread and not come back.

Just from Jakes past -I found ESD's comment about burning the book -funny.

Jake has made big waves with ESD and maybe vice-versa -I am not going back to read all the blows between them.

I do recall a picture of a boy peeing on ESD's name in regards to Jake soooooo, ESD can pretty much do whatever he feels fit.

I havn't read the story yet though that ESD wrote for his class-

I don't know anything about ESD saying anything bad about Reg though
Reg? I don't understand where that is coming from.

I agree. ESD is not the kind of guy who goes out and says something derogatory against someone. Anything he has said has been in retaliation of what Jake has said or done to him.

I dont think the answer is for either of ya'll to just straight up leave this thread/board/whatever.... 

I, along with Shaggs can tell you that feuding is not cool.... Ive been watching him feud with his cousin for 6+ years over shit that never should have happened, that im not gonna get into right here (if you want some details, hit me up on AIM, or Egram)... everytime they see eachother (which is maybe 1 or 2 times a year, if that), people need to be around, incase something goes down..... its gotten very ugly.... 

Even if anyone is just messin around, and just playing, you need to know that sometimes thats EXACTLY how stuff starts out, and how people end up getting hurt.

Good point VJ - I might have said it before but it's all a matter of perspective of who is saying what to whom.  I'm sure I could tell Reg to kiss my ass and he'd be OK with it but it looks like he's looking for confirmation from ESD himself to clarify where he was going with his comments.  He's obviously not totally comfortable with the whole thing so that in itself would show the need for clarification. 

Personally, I don't see ESD messin with anyone myself but that still doesn't clear it up for Reg who's asking.  It doesn't matter either way I guess. Just shit out in the open then water under the bridge.

Saying F-U to one of my friends and saying it the exact same way to one of my customers will take on a totally different meaning.  But if that customer was also on the line of being a friend also, there could be questions.

P.S. - bla bla bla

Reg asked me what I thought of the little fable and if ESD was directing something towards him.

I told him to ask ESD point blank......

I think WE all have to at least respect REG for trying to get this KILLED now because it is getting a little old that REG is always taking the heat for JAKE....

 

HECK we have all had friends that others don't like!!! BUT I can say this....its just one of those deals.....

REG..I respect you for your opionions...your a grown man now....

 

I hope I didn't open up a can of worms...but REG had the right to ask....

Agreed. It still feels like sometimes Reg is trying to patch up was Jake has done. You don't have to do that. If Jake want's to be civil and everything than he can do it on his own. Nobody lumps you and Jake together Reg, so don't feel like you have to defend him.


 

Okay now everyone, group hug

I just have to add my .2 cents to this saga...
This weekend ESD had to write a fable about something so he chose to base it off of those old books we used to read as kids where you have to choose the path your character goes down in it's journey, where each path either brings you to good or evil. I'm sure all of you remember those books, or have at least heard about them. Of course you all know about his creation of Cooler Kid so naturally he combined the two of them. 'Nuf said...

Now if someone is feeling 'guilty' or feels that it resembles their life maybe it's something they have to personally deal with. Waking up to reallity sucks! Especially when a classic good vs evil story makes them think it's about them.

The characters in the story (Stryder & Oscar) were originally Koda & Jake - named after a couple of our dogs. But upon reading it realized that "Jake" might be confused with the Medallionator Jake, so we changed it to names that nobody on this board would have.

back to lurk mode now.....

How was tonight at Ian's 500th hide and KC's 300th find?

Was great, had a lot of fun, even though I still can't bowl a good game to save my life. Lotta people, talking, even had enough cooler crew there to discuss Me2's hunt. Oh and muckluck brought the medallion with her, I got to see it :)

Everybody that didn't go missed out. Hopefully more of the crew can make Ian's next event.

Yeah I had a party.. as I said. I really wanted to go. Congrats to Ian!!! I know how many people spend lots of time finding all your caches.. and it is cool that someone is willing to put out and maintain so many like that.

And congrats KC.... I know how much you wanted to reach this milestone. And so early?? Hehe you said mid-August.

Thanks Reg, I was glad to get it at a KB event. I'm still not quite up there with the insane geocachers with the thousand finds, but perhaps I'll get there someday. I still like to say every one of those 300 was a memorable one, and got me to a park or something neat and interesting.

KB really has gone to great lengths placing all those caches out there. Still is a great way to get to know the parks, even if none of the rest of you go hog wild and get tons of finds, give a couple a try sometime, you might just find a great spot you never knew existed, or at the very least, you'll know your parks much better for the Medallion Hunt.

My offer's still open, even if you don't have a gps and want to give a cache a try sometime, let me know, I'd be more than happy to meet up and show ya how geocaching works.

Where can I access the "ARCHIVE" ?? ares??
I can't find it anymore....

other wise I need to read WAR and PEACE.

Right here, kitch. i'm debating whether i should move it to a spot under coolercrew.com. of course, that would require doing something like formatting it all correctly and getting it to match in color. ideally, i'd make it searchable. maybe one of these days.

That reminds me, I still want to go out and get waypoints at the approximate locations for all the previous PP medallion locations. I have 2004's location, maybe I ought to work backwards.

I semi-started (how's that for a word?) that project a few times, and have lost every damn one of them. I'll create a thread in geocaching, where we can log them as they're done. Or did you not want them public?

I should be able to get some Como ones next week.

You mean the "supposed" hiding spot, and the spot it was actually "dropped" at?

mrmnmikey

I was referring to being "diguised as a dead racoon" as being inaccurate. It was "officially" a green doughnut and I do beleive that. I do think it was moved, possibly by joe racoon, and the doughnut part eaten before it was found. However my point is it should be listed as diguised as a green doghnut. As far as MPLWD or St Paul...Who knows...got a gps?

Nice map! What about the 1956 find? I think it was somewhere over near the old stone fireplace.
