Summer on the Hudson

[addisonbr]

I guess dolemite9 doesn't need to check on this kayak cache anymore - some teenager from Latvia rode his bike to it and found it today. Must have been going really, really fast.

At the right speed, at juuuuust the right angle... bam! ALL SMILEY

[lefalaf]

Or a really long grabber tool!

[ruthny]

He also "Biked" to Three Card Monte." Are you saying he cheated the Dealer? There's a "Delete" button for con artists like him!

[gerkmax]

Though it sounds fishy, we can't be sure until someone checks the logs. It is very possible he/she found 26 caches in one day (or maybe just logged all in one day).

Brett, it's totally possible.

Okay, picture it... It's a sunny, beautiful Monday in NYC. He's riding all over the city just hitting smiley after smiley. The birds are just chirping coordinates and hints at this guy. *tweet* [Look under that rock] *tweet* [It's inside that hole] He's just a happy geocaching dude!

As he's biking along Riverside, looking out at GZ... Someone sees him looking out at the water and says "Hey weary traveler. Welcome to our fair city! Why, you look like a man who'd like to go out on New York City's beautiful (though fairly polluted) Hudson River. It's a beautiful day for it, and hey, I just happen to have my kayak with me. Would you like a ride? You can even feel around those wooden beams and see what treasures turn up. Here, I have some extra clothes you can wear so your own don't get wet. And just for the hell of it, let's bring out my lucky, water-proof, water-resistant, even-writes-upside-down-in-space pen just for shyts and giggles." And bam... smiley!

TOTALLY POSSIBLE! Probable? Nope! No way. But possible? Yes. It is within the realm of possibilities. Though infinitesimally small they are.

I'll be checking on TCM later in the week. I'll let you all know if I find his name in the log!

[Sparrows_Gold]

Ha Ha!
One of their 26 caches was our "M" Club Cache!
I'll have to check our log also!

It looks like they were trying to find all the caches that need maintenance!

[ruthny]

So, I checked on TCM today, as it needed a bit of sprucing up anyway, and NO he did not sign the log. In fact, on the day he claims he was there, no one at all signed the log.

So, to delete or not to delete?

[gerkmax]

Maybe he was biking so fast the ink didn't have time to stick to the log? IT'S POSSIBLE!!!

Maybe, he's the Flash, and he signed in the time stream so it shows up at a future date? Possible?

Maybe he...

No... he faked it.

Sounds like the problem we had a few years back with the guy driving around North America logging thousands of caches. Nary a signature. (Ultimus Prime?) Twenty finds a day. What raised my suspicion was his logs on Bear on the Loose and West New York Aerie (along with 18 others) on the same day. Sure, they're only two miles apart, so it was possible. Just not very probable. All of his logs were deleted by Groundspeak.
Or the trucker who drove through New Jersey during a blizzard with 8" of snow on the road. Some of his finds included one on the ground, a mile down an unmaintained road, one that required a 200' climb, and two at rest stops on opposite sides of Rte 80. (That's probably a ten-mile round trip.)
Oh, well. Ruth, I would delete the find.
