cacherats

Geocaching.com has too many rules for cache placement. Several times after creating a new cache, I've had trouble getting it listed on the site, and never for any good reason. The lastest cache wasn't approved because at 261 feet, they told me, it was too close to another cache that I didn't even know about! As a result, I listed the cache on Navicache.com instead, and it was immediately accepted. They have pages and pages of rules, most of which are completely unneccessary. My conclusion: the management of this site is taking itself far too seriously and has forgotten that geocaching is a recreational activity that is meant to be fun, not an exercise in beaurocracy! I have decided not to use this site anymore. Navicache.com has most of the same cache listings, including some that are not found on this site, and it is a much friendlier organization. Join me in rejecting the self-important beaurocracy that geocaching.com has become! Nathan Chronister
