The North Texas Group gets ready
to Hide tokens on Friday. 9Key and Akulakat go over some
specifics while SandBassQueen and Lucky organize the token
distribution. Others in the picture include Hack Attack, Stupid, Astrojr1, G-O-GardenerGal |

|
The SE400D cache was the first cache
hidden by the group. Akulakat
and Astrojr1 'worked over' this
tree after SandBassQueen scooped
up Spanish moss off the ground.
It may be noted that 2 seperate SETX groups were trying to find this cache as all members of our group walked by twice towards the end of the hunt. Nobody ever did find it and we retrieved it for a souvenir later. This 400 points would have won the competition for SETX. |
|
|
Akulakat, SandBassKing, and Astrojr1 stand as statues around SE400D cache. They wait 3 minutes using WAAS averaging and then get the best coordinate available. |
 |
I have never seen Spanish Moss grow in a pine tree until this. We felt this one would be easy pickings as it was only 15 feet (above picture) from a trail. |
|
|
SandBassKing stands knee deep in a swamp while he obtains coordinates for the SE200H cache. This was the easiest to find of our groups' caches, though not fun to retrieve. |
 |
Sometimes, caches get stuck up in trees by sometimes Monkeys like Astrojr1 here. |
|
|
Astrojr1 is mighty powerful and can wear this tree on his head. Notice the poise and balance that it takes to keep the tree from tipping. |
|
|
Akulakat lacks the superior strength of Astrojr1, so he levitates the tree using mind powers |
|
|
Sometimes Decoys are good to throw the opponent off track. Here Astrojr1 aims at the decoy spot as Akulakat shines the laser on the target. G-O-GardenerGal shoots her man. |
|
|
Top Form honors go to SandBassKing as he unleashes the javelin for the same target. You may see him in the next Olympics! |
|
|
All that throwing and the cache was cleverly concealed in the forest floor. It was actually visible barely from 2 different spots. This one was either 300 or 400 points. Don't remember. |
|
|
Crummy old bridges make good hiding spots as well. |
 |
The night Before the Challenge, North Texas Team Members meet at Hedge Hoppers Central Command Quarters to discuss Geocaching strategies. |
|
|
Discussing strategies (really just yapping about different stuff) is what makes the event lots of fun!!! |
|
|
Astrojr1 demonstrates to Grimlock how bartending should be done. It was Grimlock who noted that the GPS coordinates for DFW were not working properly in the SportTrak and ETrex GPS units as the number of characters was too long. |

Getting Ready for the word 'GO' |
|
|
Get ready for the stampede!! |
|
|
Akulakat TOO and SandBassQueen came in 2nd at USMorrows Washer throwing contest after the cache event. |
