More pics and fun with square tube

[jrou111]

I've been taking my M1009 out geocaching recently with some friends. It's a lot of stop-n-get out driving so I take the top off so folks can hop off the back. To make things easier for them, I welded up some square tubing to make a step that mounts to the rear shackle lift mount. It'll also come in handy for working on the engine since I can stick it up front to use as a step.

What's the legality of going tear-assing down those cleared rights of way for the high tension lines? I'd think if caught, the power company could press tresspass charges if they wanted to be pricks.

Likewise, I'm assuming, possibly incorrectly, that you're geocaching on your own land. What's the legality of geocaching if you don't own the land. Say... the power company owns the land.

I note in that last pic a long downed tree trunk across the path. I grew up in rural Indiana and a friend's father had a road that looked just like that that only came onto his property, and he didn't want strangers using it to come onto the woods on his property, so he would deliberately fell a tree across it just like that. The local miscreants would chainsaw the trunk apart and shove the pieces off the road and my friend's dad would drop another tree.

It's public land. But the rules for geocaching are that you can't hide a cache on private land unless you have the landowner's permission. The tree was a rotten tree that came down during a storm a few months back. There were no signs of chainsaw or axe cuts at the trunk.

Cacheowners or property owners permission?

Sorry, I meant landowner's permission.

Did you find what you were looking for?

Is it always buried or do they hang the stuff in trees as well?

Hard to tell, but that looks like a nice cottonmouth. Were you near the Cahaba River?

Yes, we found them all. It's never buried where you have to use digging tools to find. Usually it's in a stump, or under a pile of sticks.

Yeah it was a cottonmouth. You can see the tire tracks from my truck that it didn't budge when I drove by.
