Just throwing this idea
out there. Do you think Morty would be slick enough to post his plunder first,
and then go out and actually do the deed some time later? This would certainly
throw us off the scent, although it would be a dirty trick...just like a
pirate.

Q-Tip
RE: Morty. We may be looking for a fairly new white pickup
(possibly an F50).
I arrived at the Pushing Tin cache
(GCG1N6) at a little before 2:00 on the 3rd. I parked across the
road from the cache in a dirt lot as far NE as I could get to the
cache (about 150 ft). As I was getting out of my van, a white pickup
traveling SW came to a quick stop on the road next to me and then suddenly
turned right (jumping a curb) onto the dirt lot. (Had he traveled another
30 ft he wouldn't have needed to jump the curb.) He then pulled up
behind me, sat there a few seconds and then slowly drove further SW about 600
feet. He then turned his truck so he was facing my direction and
parked. His actions made me think that he was a cacher by the way he
handled the truck (stopping suddenly on the road and then turning, as if
he were checking his GPSr and realized he was at the site). (you know
the drill . . . we all do it! [;-)] )
I left the site at around 2:20 and the cache had not been plundered
yet. When I arrived home and logged my find (somewhere between 5:00
and 6:00) Morty had already logged his
find advising us that the cache had been plundered. His profile was
already set up and the nine caches he had plundered for the day
were already p osted. The time frame would just about be right if he
plundered the cache at around 2:30. That would give him time to
drive (home?) and log the nine caches by 6:00 at the latest.
So . . . we may be looking for a fairly new white truck!
Note: The 8:20 p.m., May 3rd posting on the cache
page by dpo was either a wrong time
or dpo was there on the 2nd instead of the
3rd. Dpo's log entry was already posted when I
logged my find between 5:00 and 6:00 on the 3rd. The cache
was plundered after dpo found the
cache.

I agree, it seems to have been planned and then re-planned
once all the
anger came to the surface. From reading his profile page, it
would seem that
Mortey has n't yet re-hidden the cache bags. We will have
to wait to see, I
guess. I agree with what Scott just said, it also
almost sounds like Mortey
is someone we all know, because
we're supposed to figure out his identity.
Either that, or we're supposed
to go up to complete strangers and ask, "Are
you the Dread Pirate
Mortey?" (Princess Bride quote there for you movie
buffs.)
Either
way, I will be interested to see who is the first person to spot
Mad
Mortey. I will be on the lookout.
Arrr.
