I have a virtual one that I intended to place at the Port Lockroy base, but our ship couldn't go there because of bad weather. If you go anywhere in Antarctica you qualify to download the image from the link in the clues located on LbNA.

The party of love and acceptance

God bless ya little heart

You came here unarmed, with platitudes and blanket statements, and when you were asked to justify your position, instead of doing that, you just doubled down on your quaint little taunts. You have said not one thing of any merit that would give pause to the other side.

You better hope there isn't a god because when y'all get to the Pearly Gates and are asked how you made the world a better place and what you did to serve humankind and how you treated "the least of my brothers," how you sheltered and cared for them, well, you are seriously screwed.

Alas, accepting you does not get you out of being held accountable and being expected to pull your weight, logic-wise, which you have failed to do. You make glittering generalities sound like truth and then failed to back up a single thing you said. You have yet to make a single cogent claim that you can back with anything other than "I'm here; you have to like me." Do you really want that kind of pity, or can you stand up and justify what you say? In what way is Trump the greatest president? STILL waiting for those answers, which is what I was implying when I accused you of not having given this much thought, because the answer is JUST THIS SIDE of obvious!

or 11. . . So the 11 districts that had the integrity to challenge the Ten Commandments mandate won at the Texas Supreme Court, but every other district is technically still required to keep them up until it inevitably winds its way higher up the chain. That means me. Just thought you might be interested in an update.

We've done a lot of canoe camping up in the BWCA. Things we bring along include detailed maps, binoculars, good flashlights, butane lighters, fire starters, (we make our own from egg cartons, dryer lint and melted wax), rain gear, waterproof bags, lots of rope, first aid supplies, and lightweight backpacking hammocks.
A must-have luxury item for me would be my Aero Press coffee maker - it's lightweight, simple to use, and is very easy to clean.

You must have been away for a while because you posted a flurry of replies.

So, let's go back to what you wrote on Nov 18:
It never fails to amuse me how you present yourself as some kind of arbitrator of the group. Like we're ambassadors instead of participants in a discussion. Weigh in if you have something different.

And here is the definition of arbitrator:

a person chosen to decide a dispute or settle differences, especially one formally empowered to examine the facts and decide the issue.

I did not represent myself as chosen by anyone to decide any dispute. I suggested (or insisted) that two people come up with a consistent view on something which has already become OBE. You have probably already read that resolution, or OBE result.

Well, part of this is true. You were merely self-chosen. And "some kind of" is a qualifier. I know how you love semantics more than actual argument.

Exactly. Like someone assigning tasks and limiting the parameters of the conversation.

If you are refering to the colored backgrounds on the clue lists for found, attempted, and planted then yes, it is still there. I was not logged in the AQ thru the app at the time. As soon as I logged back in the colors were there.

Thank you for those suggestions. No, we will not have a full, refill station, yet the other fuel ideas may work. There are more campgrounds up and down the road to Gatlinburg than I can think of.

Haha...I got you. 👍

Yes. I understand -- not only SHTF survival preparedness but also real world survival knowledge. 100%.

That you mentioned the personal locator beacon caught my attention because we just had a class about flashlights, and that was one thing the speaker discussed -- including for a canine companion.

Thank you for the thorough and thought out response.

Depends on the search you are running. You'll have to share your actual search so we can see what filters are being run on it to get a definitive answer.

I'm not sure I saw it mentioned, but perhaps have some feminine hygiene products. Sometimes Auntie Flow sneaks up on us or you forgot to grab some pads. Also, if you have Tylenol, have Motrin too, see above, plus sometimes the concept of above the shoulders Tylenol, below, Motrin is a good one to know.

Honestly, one of my boxes is like that. Few finders in an otherwise very populated area...and nearby boxes get way more traffic. This one rarely gets looked at. Not for difficulty or length or anything. No idea. It's been out there for 6 years and less than a handful of finders. Tried changing the address several times to be clearer but no dice. Just accepted it at this point.
