[GeoStL] Re: Buford Mountain - GCGJGJ This next weekend?

I went into work and because of a machine breakdown they said the had nothing 
for me to do so I got turned loose.  I acn get to Buford Mountain earlier.  If 
some still want the 11:00 meeting time, I guess I can do that.  Any elier, 
email ASAP as I am taking off just before sunset to get a brand new cache of 
interest - ROCK AND ROLL - It is farily good weather conditions to check this 
one out (day after rain).  I also would like 2nd to find.

night) but I do good all day most of the time on weekends.  I get home here 
about 7:30.  A while get cleaned up and off again possibly hit the Chester 
Bridge/Perryvile area about 9:00.  I am looking about getting there between 
10:00 am - 11:00 am (estemating on 10:30)
 
I might try my hand at camping at Taum Sauk Mtn, just to have a full day of 
activities for Sun.  Not sure yet.
 
I finally got an answer to my map confusion.  It was confusion of Old 21 vs New 
21(used to be granitesville Road).  The big confusion was trying to track a 
loop to Iron Mountain, I assumed I was on Old 21 then assuming turned on route 
U, and made a right turn on the 'V',which I assumed was a unmarked road.
 
It is a coincidence that there is a very similar 'V' joining Old 21 and route 
U, which I did not know.  When I came back to Granitesville expecting to come 
out at Iron Mountain, that really did a big Trip up job on my mind.  I was 
thinking about time warps and Star Trek sort of stuff after that.  But that map 
Strider emailed me really helped.  I will get a Image of a map and traced my 
Estemated Route Vs. Driven route to get you a better understanding of how it 
can easily play with your mind.

Hey Joe,  I am interested in going.  Tried to convince my 10 year old to go 
this weekend but she said Definitely NO!  I'll know for sure by Friday.  Just 
give a meeting time.  LuAnn

I am planning on taking on Buford Mountain this next weekend.  I wanted to save 
it for my 100th cache, but as I am planningother stuff comming up, I would like 
my 100th cache to be a Backpack trip along the Ozark Trail.
 
Buford Mountain has been on my list for a long time, and I finally want to get 
out and do it.  I am wondering if anyone would like to come along that has had 
this on thier list to do as well.
 
My friend who does most of my geocaching with me is not physically fit enough.  
Other people I know just thinks geocaching is a dumb idea to waste gas and time 
on (they are mainly the bar bums who sit and waste thier paycheck on alchohol - 
just to get sick over and over again - I LOVE GEOCACHING)
 
Buford Mountain is described as a Long and tougher hike.  a 3 mile trip with 
the first mile a 9-10% grade, then it gets easier after that, but does have a 
trail.  The view at the top is to be one of the best views in the state.
 
It is a single cache up there, and a lot of work to get it, but those are my 
favorite kinds (that is why I have such low numbers).
 
If I dont get any responses, I will save this for another time, but I am 
getting better at caching solo, but as I always tell my friend, "Many times it 
takes, it takes two minds to accomplish something"
