And just because I can... My opel in the Read more.
Yes I finally had to get embeded video, and I just LOVE this one. :)
]]>Bri wanted to set one up so I did the unthinkable and put one in my Ft yard. And FTF (First to Find) was yesterday. A guy by the name of Dream Catcher V. His note on the log was left a 2 Dream Catcher's One for the house and one for the Cache. So I went out this morning to see what it was. It was a Necklace with a Sticker on it. "Follow your Dreams" on the Front, and His name on the back.
I thought to my self THAT is SO freeking cool. I want a trade mark like that. Now I have to find something small (No bigger than 3') and that has a pegasus on it. So I can use those in all my finds. Off to google.
The Myers Find...
Ok. Got the Location:N 33° 50.521 W 093° 24.253
Got But I don’t need them. This is the Myers, I know where they are, I have spent lots of time there.
So I get out of the truck at the grave site. And think back to what I read in the hints. “You do not have to enter the area to find it.” Well I know the area. It is a square brick enclosure. With some small shrubs (over grown Weeds) around it. So it can only be in 2 places, right? In or under the shrubs.
I start looking GPS in hand. I walk to the gate. My GPS tells me that I am 5 Ft away, and it is pointing at the gate. “Ok” I think out loud “New gps 30 ft of lea way It is next to the brick somewhere.” I decide to go clockwise around the outer edge of it. And just look at all the shrubs. Nothing. But I do notice that there is a hole next to the sidewalk on one side where the Dirt washed away. No one would have put it there. Would they?
Ok Damn it I thought this was going to be a quick one. I have been here 5 min. I should have found it by now. I walk 15 Ft away and look at the GPS. Ok 15 Ft straight at the gate. Now that hole in the ground it 3 feet past the gate. Damn it.. It is going to bug me if I don’t look there. OK. Here I go.
I stick my arm in the hole under the sidewalk like it is going to be bitten off by a Grue**. Nothing. Not Even a Grue. Ok. Come on V Think! Look at the print out of this again. Maybe you missed something.
On the printout I notice that I did not revel the clue, the clue is: pvgratnz Ok He used a 8 letter word. Gravesite! No that is 9. Sidewalk! I look again at the hole. “Hurm Maybe someone stole it” I go Grue hunting until I am sure it is not there. It is not in that hole, nothing is. Ok 8 letter words are running through my mind. I decided to go sit down inside the Grave Yard. While I think.
This is nuts, I have De Trashed this place once a month for the past 12 Months. I know every inch of it. Damn it I think to my self. It can not be this hard. I look at the paper again. Reading it for the 4th time. I am not missing anything.
Ok the Damn GPS is pointing to where the gate was. I look at the gate. And think to my self. I wonder when that gate was made. I bet around the 1950’s wow. Wish I could have been here when it was put up to save the Grave site.. Something that old. What!!! Something that old?
I look closer at it. How the FUCK could something that old have a piece of water proof Plastic stuck to it. I look closer. Well I will be damned. I just found the Cache. The tricky bastard made it a microcache with out even telling anyone. Now THAT is SNEAKY! I Unscrew the waterproof top and unroll the Log. Yep That is what I am here for. To sign my handle on the log. That is what I work so hard to do. Sign my name. And put it all back together and in the same spot I found it. “The creator of this cache will like that” I think to my self “He knows my Myers site.” I am done. Write down the Time and date on my printout and jump in my Truck…
On to the next one!
When I get home I jump on the computer. I have to look up the site and log my find!
March 12 by V (5 found)
That makes it all worthwile. I found it. I am done. On to the next one. I am about to click on my locate more link, and I think to my self.. Oh what was that damn 8 letter clue. I click on the Decrypt link.
“citengam“ I look at it for a second. Is this a word that I don’t know? Oh My GOD! Magnetic… And the ONLY thing in the area that was metal. THAT GATE! Hahahah Great one.
And now I close that page I am fully done. And I start to think about my next find.
** If you do not know what a Grue is then 2 things, 1) Stop reading my blog. 2) Google it.

Opel shows us a teaser of its next roadster, the Opel GT, which will be shown in Geneva and will substitute the Speedster starting from the beginning of 2007.
In the photo above you can see the Opel GT, under the canvas and below its grandmother (the '65 Opel GT). It will be technically identical to the Pontiac Solstice and the Saturn Sky : rear wheel drive, just under 4 meters long, with a weight around 1.300 kg.
What we want to know is: will it get the 2.4 4 cylinder turbo engine of the Solstice GXP, with its 260 hp and its 0-100 km/h sprint in 5,5 secondi ?
The fastest auto-journalists in Holland at Autoweek.nl compared the silhouette of the Solstice with that of the car under the canvas. Below the fold you can see the perfect fit.
