One of the kind of recent (spring) stories that I would like to share happened at Geowoodstock 06'.  We had already been camping a day or two (that trip is somewhat of a blur) when first Nightcrawler had gotten a phone call and he thought he was going to have to pack up early and head home.  From what I recall there were atleast two phone calls maybe more and this is where my lame memory comes in since I don't remember the exact number of calls.  I just remember him telling those of us who were sitting around camp (several Okies and maybe even a razorback or two).  I remember how serious he was and that every cacher that was there offered to help him break camp.  This act alone by my fellow cachers I thought was nice. Fortunatly Nightcrawler eventually was able to stay and that in its own 
was a good thing.   Then later on during the weekend this is what blew my socks off.  Spearfox thought he was going to need to head back to OKC.  What amazed me was that my fellow cachers came to my rescue.  Those that were at our camp area all offered to help me to be able to stay with my children.  They all offered to help me break camp, haul all of the "stuff" (and with 2 kids that can be alot of stuff) home.  So that Spearfox could make it back to OKC in the only vehicle we brought down there.  Now what is so flattering and a cherrished memory for me is that several of these cachers didn't even live in OKC infact 2 of them lived in Arkansas.  I will never in my life forget the generosity of that evening.  Some of them were willing to go not just a couple of miles out of thier way but a couple of hundred miles out of thier way.  To me that is the kind of thing that brings out the very best in people.  I will always be indebted to those cachers.  It turned out that Spearfox was able to stay with us in the end but once again that offer of help just amazed me.   When I am doubting events that happen in my life I remember that as a cherrished memory and will always appreciate those.  So if you are reading this and you were one of those people there you now have a small glimps of why I am so proud to call each of you my friends.

Now as to some of the ugly that happens.  I saw the bellow posted on Kashiree's profile this morning.  After knowing many of the OKC cachers I find it hard to believe that someone would be stealling caches.  Although with all of the threats that Kashiree has made over the past several months it wouldn't suprise me to much.  I can see where there would be a little bit of glee and satisfaction at the thought of getting even.  I firmly believe she is sinking her own ship and that we don't need to help her.  I know she makes threats (such as now "WARNING I AM ON THE WAR PATH NOW')and does things that aren't on the up and up (after all one of her motto's is "The rules are meant to be broken") but I don't think that we should stoop to her level.  When I started doing this blog I called her a bully and that is what she is trying to do.  Bullies only have strength when people are afraid.  Note I AM NOT AFRAID OF KASHIREE.  It is when you let the truth speak for itself and we all stick together that she will have no power.  The way that she lashes out without thinking shows her own weaknesses.  I've said it before that I have pitty for her because to show that much anger so often she cann't truely be happy with herself.
