The funny thing is I wasn't laughing at you, I was laughing at me. From Tim, aka Bikr
Barking Squirrel

Just read your article in "Todays Geocacher" about the barking squirrel. It had me laughing so hard I just had to drop you a line. The funny thing is I wasn't laughing at you, I was laughing at me. Living in rural West Tennessee, you generally grow up hunting, fishing, and generally exploring the woods with your father. I am no exception to this, and your stories brought back memories in vivid detail. I hunted both deer and squirrel as a boy, and it always seemed that when I went squirrel hunting every August that the deer would "snort" or blow loudly through their nostrils every time I even came close to a squirrel. Conversely, when November and December would come and bring with it deer season, it seemed that there was always a squirrel barking and raining down Hickory nut pieces on me, and scaring all the deer away! I personally think it was a conspiracy between the deer and the squirrel. Anyway, I said all that to say this: Thanks for the laughs and bringing back those memories.

Jacksonville Parks

Jacksonville may have the most gross acreage for parks and Anza Borrego is huge at 600,000 acres, but the largest regional park in the United States is right here in the bay area, the East Bay Regional Park District. With over 95,000 acres, 90% of which are protected as natural parkland, the EBRPD has something to offer any Geocacher. Check it out at ebparks.org.


Thanks Torry, please keep the humor coming. From Alan Anderson , aka Geo_cats
The Dangers of Caching

ROTFLMAO
I just finished reading The Dangers of Caching By Torry Stiles and am still chuckling. I haven't laughed so hard or so long since I don't remember when. I have sent the link to my gc buddies so they can have a healthful, cardio workout like I did. Thanks Torry, please keep the humor coming.


Thanks for doing this magazine. From Blair Saldanah, aka Digital Dad
Sugggestion:

Hey just a sugggestion: You should consider naming your PDF issues with the convention "TodaysCacherYYMMDD.pdf" rather that the current "TodaysCacherMMDDYY.pdf" format.

That way they'd automagically sort in chrono order... Thanks for doing this magazine. I really enjoy it! Keep up the good work!


...The x-ray shots are nice, but they don't really help me visualize the technique. From Mark, aka Codswallop
Dislocations

I just read your article in Today's Cacher about dislocations. I always wondered how this was done.

Thanks for writing this. I think, however, that the descriptions are a little ambiguous and unclear, especially regarding the shoulder dislocation (a common injury in my other favorite outdoor activity, kayaking). Would it be possible to get some photos of what this should look like, i.e. where the rescuers stand, and exactly how they should pull/rotate? The x-ray shots are nice, but they don't really help me visualize the technique.

I realize this may be more trouble than it's worth to you, but if it could be done, it would really increase the usefulness of this article. Anyway, thanks again for writing it. I always learn something when I do geocaching!

(Editor's Note: No problem Codswallop. It's hard to try and describe something in words that should be seen in person to really appreciate the technique.

Hope these help.)
