Then you probably wouldn't report it to the CO so the next cacher to come along would. Any responsible CO would routinely check on their cache.

If you read the description prior to making such a hike and read that it's a lock picking cache, would you still go? That's the question.

Maybe send an email to the help center. That's what folks have been doing to fix this.

There's a cache placed in my area on a public road that overlooks farm land near a guard rail and cachers have reported that the land owner would ride up on her quad and chase cachers away from the area. So yeah. Any land owner within the vicinity should be notified of the cache. Imagine how you look when you're looking for a geocache. You have your GPS out, you're pacing around in an area, you're kicking over rocks or pushing through brush or whatever...people get a little freaked out. We, as cachers know exactly what we are doing but for someone who knows nothing about the game might look at us as suspicious characters and soon you're explaining yourself to the local law.

Indeed they are.

I'll be stopping by for this one. Thanks!

I guess because in some peoples' minds they assume tax dollars are paying for the building that its public property. With everything, there are limitations. My main concern with a firehouse would be cachers parking in front of the truck lanes or finding their way into restricted areas of a police station. My .02.

Are you sure about that? http://www.ndtv.com/world-news/in-a-german-village-the-bell-still-tolls-for-hitler-1739605 American history can be ugly at times, and so can other country's history. Either love it, hate it, embrace it or don't. But history is history. You can tear down all the statues you want. The mere fact that there are hundreds of thousands of people who lived in those days, have memories etc will always remember. To call out Groundspeak claiming they're a racist organization because they allow caches to be placed around statues of men who were involved in slavery is a little over the top in my opinion. HBO played "42" last night on HBO. Rough times back in those days for baseball players of color. Should HBO be banned from playing that movie? We can use those moments as a learning experience, and see how people lived in those days, and how ridiculous it was to discriminate against race, religion or gender and use that as motivation to not continue to act like that. Not everything is pretty in this world.

Lab caches are a lot of fun.

Have you done any power trails in the Pacific Northwest?

As far as I'm concerned, "discrimination" means hate based on religion, gender or ethnicity.

I think even without a souvenir, it'll be amazing to see and experience.

Thanks for the info. My goal is to try to get as many as I can.

Really? You really think Groundspeak is discriminating against cachers who use the same computer? That's a pretty big accusation.

Maybe they have a Facebook page you can see about.

Thank you. People are really losing their cool over this.

Any cache will do.

Nope.

I would find a cool lamp post skirt to hide a cache under...

It's a trackable code. Read about Trackables and you'll have your answers.

Its not on the chest. And the instructions don't specifically say its on the chest.

Sir, please calm down.

Log NM accordingly. The problem with doing all the maintenance for some COs is that they will just rely on cachers such as yourself to do all the work for them. Eventually if no maintenance is done the cache will get archived. If the Co isn't taking care of their cache, that's not a bad thing.

Yep. The best thing anyone can do regarding caches being placed against the rules is log a NM/NA.
