i get the - it was on the floor and placed it back My issue is - it was moved as the finder did not agree with the D/T rating ?

my issue is it was moved by a finder that did not agree with the D/T rating

i looked for a cache today, but it was moved by a previous finder, when i read the logs ? when you find a cache and you think the placement does not meet the D/T rating you move it ? Surely it’s the CO that sets the D/T not the finder ?

BLUE SWITCH Souvenir - its a bit like finding a cache on the 29th Feb but you had other things to do, a couple of days later you found a cache and signed the log to claim the find and badge In many parts of the world geocaching has not stopped, You should have to wait till next year, I think there should be a Opt in our not option, any one who claims a find not on the day it seems worthless, surely it the same as new years eve or new years day Souvenir

Yes, you are right about the views, its one of my regrets that I did not go for GC16, while there but will be back again next year after doing Mingo

The Trifecta refers to a specific set of three geocache sites within the Pacific Northwest! Attempting to complete the Trifecta is a popular goal of geocachers traveling to the Seattle/Portland area. The three geocaches considered as the Trifecta are the recently re-discovered Project A.P.E. cache container (GC1169), the Original Stash Tribute Plaque (GCGV0P) and the Geocaching Headquarters (GCK25B). Find all 3 as per project - gc checker -

At GCHQ you can buy the coin - so why make one if no one else can do it ?

here is the reply from GCHQ Hello Thanks for contacting Geocaching HQ. Unfortunately, your challenge cache idea would not be possible because it would not comply with the Specific Lists guideline of the Challenge Cache Guidelines. Best regards, Geocaching HQ

This is my personal view, its getting to the point where its not worth the effort to even submit a new challenge quest ? But the limited amount of old caches should make you want to find them, but I seem to be told as there are not enough old caches to be found, so you cannot get to set a quest to find them ? I thought if some said 'you can log 6 or 7 caches year 2000 that can be logged without the need to spend more than a day trip to find them' then you find them, then set a challenge to do the same, you are refused as 1 per country is not sited as plenty, so not acceptable I just think that this is a challenge worth getting and the time and effort to complete it would be very pleasing

It will depend on if the CO has placed a cache with a high D rating and wants everyone to get it or not , eg up a tree, if one climbs it, should 10 people below log it ?

Would this be a good 'New Requirement' ? I was wondering, when you log a cache as found, you have to click the box to say 'YES' I signed the log - as per guidelines to claim the find This would reduce the no pen/logs photo attached and also make caches aware of the importance of signing the log. if you click on 'No' you can explain the reason and this will let the CO know for him to decide to approve or not ?

On adopted caches, when you go though the found logs and read - no pen, photo attached, as the new CO I think I should be able to delete them as they have not signed the log sheet as required. This may effect finders stats,, if deleted the finders milestone will be incorrect. so the celebration of finding a special cache may not be the one that counts?

It will be deleted

I see EarthCaches are not found often and some co's place them to make sure you don't understand them, so many don't bother looking at them when out doing a series. An example of this is a trad cache at the same location is found many times, but the EC is found few times . in my area there is a race to get FTF, but not on a Earthcahes i have seen in other regions earth caches neglected as just not worth the effort as the co's enjoys deleting incorrect logs rather than helping them gain more information, so to learn more. If a Ec was placed to find, without having to be on google trying to understand what the co mean's, it may be more fun, if i had an earth cache, i would like logs like this :- great location, the rock was wet and shiney, amazing shapes,. the water has created an unusual shape, its rough and so on - fun fun

I am sure the reviewers know about there local caching police and where their arm chairs are located. same old issue, this is why a block feature would be useful to CO's

have I missed something? there seem to be a few posts deleted ? this is one - [QUOTED POST REMOVED BY MODERATOR]

I was wondering what the community thoughts are on claiming a FTF on a cache, but did not view the log sheet - could it be possible the log has been signed. but how do you know without viewing it ?

Looks like my suggestion has worked
