Joel is moving in on Cach #2.

Glen must be complaining that he thinks he may have seen some poison oak...

Joel, Glen and Dave with both the real cache and the decoy cache. We weren't able to fool them... And here is the frequency for Fox transmitter #2.

Dave is homing in on Fox #2.

"Oh man, did those guys hide the Fox transmitter up again a wire fence again to through our signal receiving off??!"

Dave (KF6DDP) and Dave (KD6KWM) finding Fox #2 -- but nobody wants to reach into the blackberries to get it!

Yeah, make Mike reach in there to get it. Afterall, didn't he stick it in there in the first place?

Strangely enough, you'll remember this sign from the first photo where some others started off from. It looks like Dave is interested in something on the ground, no?

While the other guys are looking over the little fence, Dave has nonchalantly moved in a little bit closer to something on the ground near his feet that has piqued his interest.

Maybe if I just kind of nudge it a little to see if it gets on my shoe or something... Hmm, looks like dog poop...

Smell like dog poop?? Feel like dog poop?

Arrrrgh, these guys! Dave found the "GeoPoop", Cache #3. After this, we went to find Urban Jungle by trailpuppy.

Hidden Transmitter Detail:


This is the smaller of our two hidden transmitters, Fox #1. It began life as a remote control.

Here Fox #1 is from the outside. Power output is on the order of 20 microWatts on many frequencies (not just 2m or ham frequencies) as it is a Part 15 device.

This is Fox #2. It has switchable power from approximately 80 mW. to 1 W. output. 2m Only.

Fox #2 from the outside. Geocachers will recognize the container instantly as this is a popular container for making Geocaches out of.
