How many EC's do I own? What are my credentials? Do I have a dog? Ninth Grader? First of all, What does that have to do with getting permission? but since you asked: No one owns an EarthCache, you can not own something like that, you can have an Earthcache published and then say I have published X amount of earthcaches. I will be publishing a lot of them as soon as I get the permission from the park rangers. 4 waiting approval from the appropriate people and about 10 that I will work on in the future as soon as I have more info Apparently mine are about as good as yours or better since you wont post in your main geocacher user name. No, I do not have a dog. Use to though, A Red Tic Hound and Tennessee Walker Hound mix, unfortunately I needed to find a better home for him since we did not trust him 100% around our newborn son. I'm sure he would not have hurt him but I was not 100% sure of it. A ninth grader hides behind a fake name to talk like that. So I asked one question, got fourteen answers and the bottom line is....ZERO. You DO NOT OWN, HOST, DEVELOP or otherwise PARTICIPATE in any EDUCATIONAL, INFORMATIVE and/or INTERESTING EC's, yet here you are thumping your personal rule book and telling others how it should be? Sooo, what's up with the PARK RANGERS? Not doing their jobs? You have four waiting approval and ten more you're working on. Let's see, (tap, tap...tap), that's still ZERO. Well, I have six on the drawing board, four submiTTed to the Millerburg Org for permissions and 16 in my head as ideas. NO, WAIT! Now make that 18 (just thought of two more). So now I don't have 28. That's 14 more than you don't have. I win. So why don't you just lurk for a bit until we see what's happening with CS. I want him reinstated. He sems to be a significant contributor and let's not forget, he didn't make the EC, God did (unless we're dealing with geo-BIG-BANG). CS just showed us where they are. And they're still going to be there even if he's not. I'd rather he was, because if you and I have to wait on each other to log some EC's we'll never get that white beginners pin, now will we??

Humm.... 23 caches and 1 EarthCache within the boundaries of Fort Knox property. Does that mean we need to go and archive all the Geocaches and ban there placers as well. Cav Scout: I'm not privy to the details of what is going on between you and Geoaware, but it seams like this is between you and him/her. Have you tried to contact him directly and talk about the issues that the two of you have. The EarthCache forums were not set up to argue about someone being banned from placing anymore EarthCaches. I requested this forum to be added to help people set up EarthCaches not fight about them. EarthCaches are under different rules then geocaches. The bottom line is "YOU NEED PERMISION FOR EVERY EARTHCACHE" If no one can direct you to the right person and you just keep going around in circles on the permission (road side earthcaches), then go to a Town or City board meeting and ask them, explain what EarthCaching is and tell them what you want to do. If they say its ok then let them know that you need written permission and ask if they wouldn't mind putting it in writing. Also explain that there will not be an influx of people to that location as to stop or slow the flow of traffic. There might be 10 people a month +-10. GeneGene, how many EC's do you own and what are your credentials? you got a dog in this hunt? Sounds like cavscout has an issue with geoaware much bigger than what's being discussed here and why is he trying to drag everyone down with him? cavscout? looks like you were the first finder on the Ft knox cache and you knew it was reported. did you report it yourself? rat it out after you found it? I see the owners profile. I see his ec's. He's spent some heavy time on a keyboard designing those pages. No sloppy stuff there, plus he owns over 270 geocaches and 8,000 finds. he's an ec master. i say we drag him out and blatantly hang him. hang cavscout, too. yeah, that'll make us a proud organization that EVERYONE will want to belong to! Or maybe not. You collectively sound like a bunch of ninth graders. I can't even get permission from the right guy to get a pothole in front of my house filled. BUt If I call the city desk and ask about gee-o-ca$hing or earth-ca$hing, they'll put me right through to the ca$he desk, right? Well, WRONG-O! They've never heard of it!! What has gsa done to project the image of earthcaching to cities and school systems? What have they dome to pave the way for those who place caches? Nothing? Nothing at all? The placer of an Ecache must educate those upstream before he can enlighten those downstream? Is that the case? It may be good for geaware to publish their MISSION STATEMENT and explain a bit about their own organization. Before I want to take the chance of getting my named smeared as cavscout did I want to know more about this group. Getting permission from some bureaucratic desk jockey who won't be there after an administration change is W-A-Y to risky for me to put my good name on. For GEOAWARE to even SAY they will ban someone should serve notice that personalities and politics are at play here and what's good today may be evil tomorrow. Anyway, that's my $.02 worth. I'm going caching. You all can have the play pen back.
