Interesting pet! I have never seen that either. Ferrets are the only odd pets I have ever seen...and cats on leashes.

I never really got a good look at what the naked guy was doing that I found...all I know was that he was looking around frantically and doing something with his bottom half...and I was hoping the group of teens that I was leading didn't see him. The park is called Buffalo Creek park but now I refer to it as Buffalo Creeper park. Fun times...yea.

We've run into several of those (well, various remnants of interludes...we once found an unused stash, too. I'd hate to be the girl it was saved for...ew.)
And once the remnants of a pg test nearby. Made me laugh. :-)

I reached in to pull a box out of a hole and I pulled out a baggie full of dog crap.

That's a really horrible place to hide a stamp. We need to educate the newbies!

I reached in and pulled out a bong. I chucked it into the woods... Little druggie jerks. Happy I bring gloves.

Some of the crazier things I have found:

A naked older gentleman in a really nice classic car...I was wondering why all those young handsome men in nice cars kept driving by the secluded loop of the state park... Turns out they are called here they are called "pickle parks"

A backpack with a stash of marijuana and a green glass bong.

And most recently, following some really straight forward clues... A cell phone charger in a Baggie under pine needles. Then digging deeper hoping to find the box, a cell phone wrapped in 3 baggies wrapped in a DC metro map. Still determined to find the box, looking under ALL the trees... A shopping bag hidden under pine needles containing a brand new looking pair of sneakers. What a strange strange day.

That would really make me concerned. I have watched a bit of too much crime drama TV though.

I saw people having sex in the middle of a trail.

Okay, how many people clicked on koalacat's link expecting to see a picture?

I was searching a box one time, pretty sure I found the spot, but found a box nicely wrapped up in Sunday comics. Opened the corner and looked in to find two nice, expensive bongs. At least that is what the police told me.

holding her pet skunk! What??

It's Florida, we're home to the Miami weird magnet. You're surprised? ;)

I've never seen anything crazy while boxing, but then again I have a pretty high crazy tolerance, so what I think is nutso might be horrifying to others.

One time I went geocaching and the cache was supposed to be about 20 feet inside the edge of a wooded area by a Walmart. I walked in with my son, and a homeless guy was sitting on the cache (which was a 5 gallon bucket). He waved at us, and we ran away!

Okay, at first, I found it funny and still do a bit. Now though, considering a few people clicked agree without finding it amusing - REALLY?

Do you all really think I am going to post pictures of some couple on the internet, let alone TAKE the pictures of some people having sex in the woods? REALLY? While it was in a public place, it is an invasion of privacy, and probably illegal. Really.

Then there would be the AQ repercussions. The post would be deleted faster than.... a new box added (got nothing here). Ryan would probably ban me for a few days. Really.

I told it back when it happened three years ago, and posted the link to the board post. You all need to get your head out of the gutter. Really.

Geesh. Happy New Year everyone.

Too close to urban areas I think...
It's been awhile but those were memorable items.

Just the other day I didn't find the 'box but I did find two bottles of booze, and one was unopened. Last finder's prize?

I thought I'd finally shed the newbie title, but since I've never witnessed sexcapades in the woods...

sniff, sniff.

I'd gone up to get the box and come back. I noticed the back of the park sign had the typical, call me for a good time numbers. But one of the graffiti posts said what his name was, the dates and times he'd be in the park at that location and how much he liked panties. And the box location I'd just come from had panties on the ground beside th bench. Ugh! Totally freaked me out. I dont think I'll go back there alone again.

While boxing in a semi-urban area, we followed the clues from a road through a grassy area to some woods, and came upon a hidden campsite where some homeless peoiple had been living. There were sleeping bags, clothes, folding chairs, a cooking and eating area, etc. The box was in the trunk of a hollow tree right in the middle of the site! I felt like we were tresspassing in someone's home. Was very glad they weren't there at the time!

Oh, I forgot you take Henry and that he even logs in sometimes. Do you push an umbrella stroller for him too when he gets tired of walking but instead of him using it you carry him? ;)

Wiccan circle. Didn't realize what it was until I was standing in it. It was made of woven branches and had candles, shells and rocks placed along perimeter. I was actually very beautiful.
