StressHouse Chupacabra

by StressMaster(cache page)

We don't live far from this cache... But since I first started reading these logs, and watched the shows about chupacabras I knew this would be a dangerous one. And with my husband being deployed, I just never had the guts to go after it alone.. So while caching today with StressMaster and Caraloopy we ended up stopping by this one. It was everything I feared and worse... Pretty much everyone stayed behind in the cars, while I ventured toward the cache armed with nothing but one of the stressboys. Believe the logs! The stench is horrible! I cautiously inched my way foward, trying to hold my breath. And then suddenly I caught a glimpse of the monster, and the breath I had been holding escaped in the beginning of a scream. I stopped myself as soon as I had realized what I had done, but it was too late. It heard me and his hideous eyes were locked on us. The thing looked so evil, and knew what we were there for, because he held the cache in his fanged mouth, blood and saliva dripping everywhere. His monstrous gaze dared us to take one step closer, so I did the only thing I could think of. I took a few steps backward and with a running start pushed Michael ahead of me with all of my strength... The movement captured the creature's attention, he dropped the cache, and lunged after the unsuspecting StressBoy. Michael bolted as fast as he could as the creature was right on his heels, so I took my one and only chance and grabbed the cache and signed it. I threw it back and took off for the cars, once the creature had realized Michael wasn't after the cache he ran back to it, unaware I had already gotten to it. He picked it back up in his nasty mouth and took off running, I tried to get a picture, but he was just too fast. Michael will probably never forgive me for today, but hey, at least I got the cache. What an adventure. I will never forget it, and hopefully I will NEVER see another chupacabra in my entire life!

Jacksonville Proctology Series #10

By IceCreamMan (cache page)

This was my second experience with a Jacksonville Style hide. I did this cache on the way to a GSAK event with Caraloopy and StressMaster. Tony and I had tried to do this cache before on our own, but spent more time laughing and trying to hide behind eachother. We ended up not finding it the first time because we didn't want to mess with all the muggles. Jax style hides are fun, and embarrassing lol... but mostly fun. This day the nearby store was packed with people constantly going in and out.

Jetty Man

By IceCreamMan (cache page)

I did this cache with our friend StressMaster on the first day the "new and improved" version was released to the geocaching world. We wanted to be MEFF on the new cache, so this was our first mission of the day. When we got there we had to climb these big rocks in the jetty to get to the cache. The cache camo weighed over one hundred pounds and IceCreamMan got it up there all by himself! Just the effort put into hiding this cache made it worthwhile to find. The beach area was beautiful, and plenty of people were out enjoying it, but no one bothered us.
