beachduo

UMM Let me clarify. What I meant to say is: Great job posting pictures in the forums, beachduo! I know a lot of "seasoned" cachers who get flustered trying to get pictures to appear in the threads! I hope that helps the confusion. Thanks for the complement! I really appreciate it. I am very active on another forum, and this one was quite a bit different for posting pics, but the little button up there made it easy. I hope to actually start geocaching this spring. I joined some time ago...but we just haven't gotten "out there" yet. Need to get a gps as well.

Groan.....why is it SO hard for me to let this go? Here are two quotes from candum: So, which is it? Is it the first quote that you went between two of the cottages? Or the second where you went beside one of the cottages? The ONLY rental on this property is the one located by the hwy in the front, and yes, it has a sign. This place does not look like a hotel or anything. The so called "cottage" you stated you were behind is my 27 foot by 47 foot home......far from a cottage...well, at least I think it is bigger. And maybe why the description about the cache did not mention anything about private property is because it is not on private property, nor do you have to go through private property to get there! You were just in the wrong place, that's all. I would like to make peace with you. This was certainly not a set up or a trap....how ridiculous that sounds! You think I have been laying in wait for two years for someone to come across my property to get to a cache located off of another street in the park? I can't even get to that park from here!! Shall we make peace?

No, you need to go read my first post where I stated that I saw their car, saw them get out, saw them approach...was not going to answer my door..but they did not come to my door.....I watched out front...knew they had went between the buildings.....then finally saw them in my back yard. I doubt they CLIMBED the guesthouse.....so that leaves the ramp. NO WAY around the chain except opening, over or under. They DID lie, out and out. I know what I saw...as I was watching it all. I don't understand what part of this some of you don't GET!!!!! I am SO through with this. Next time I won't be so nice as to tell them where they need to be, next time.....well, take a guess what will happen NEXT time!! You can call us what you want.....it won't change what WAS.

Folks, we LIKE geocachers...I figure at this juncture, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here they are. This is where they came through. The yellow building on the right is the front building which is a vacation rental, then as you walk back this is what you see, and this is where they went. The picture of the "brush" are the blackberry bushes. Beyond those is where the park is...located on another road and completely open from that other road.

Why is your son not allowed on your Mom's property? He is! But you CAN'T get through the blackberries!!

Hello everyone! I have remained quiet, since this is NOT my cache, but since Candum chimed in here and has decided to lie about the situation....here I am. I AM THE NEIGHBOR I am the private property you came over, and hopefully everyone will get a picture of HOW you came through my property to try to get to a cache that is completely on another street from my property. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, I might add! Everyone else has found the cache just fine since it is clearly in a park on a street over from us. My property: It's located on the Highway, there are two buildings in front. One is a vacation rental with a sign out in front of IT. The other building is a pole building. BEHIND the vacation rental and the pole building, and behind our private parking sits our HOME and our guest house, side by side. Once you walk to the back part of our property where the home and guesthouse are located, there is a porch leading up to our door. Right beside that porch there is a narrow sidewalk with a chain across it. The chain is attached from one building to the other. The only way to go further is to unhook the chain or go under it. This leads to the 6 foot wide area between our house and our guesthouse, which is a wheelchair ramp that goes to the backdoor of the guesthouse, and also to the backyard. There is NO WAY TO WALK AROUND IT! You HAVE to use the ramp, that's how narrow the area is. Once in the backyard and skirting the little fenced dog yard, you eventually get to the backyard. I was sick that day, and in my PJ's. All the blinds of the MANY windows I have were open. This is clearly a home that someone lives in. I happened to see you pull up in front of the vacation rental, and three guys got out of their car. You looked confused at first...which you were. Normally I would have been right out to see what you wanted....but I again, I was sick and in my PJ's. You first headed towards the north, then turned around and looked this way, then proceeded to walk towards my house. I decided I was not going to answer my door......BUT you did not come to my door. That one side of my house has no windows, and I actually got a little scared wondering where you had gone and what you were doing! The ONLY other way you had was unhooking the chain or going under it. That's what you did. I came back through my house, with phone in hand......and FINALLY spotted you in my back yard. Luckily I noticed you were looking down at something, and one of you were looking through the 30 FEET of thick blackberry bushes (that my dog can't even get through!!!).....and I realized you must have trying to find the cache. I did not want to come out the glass double door, (again in my PJ's), so I opened a window and told you you were trespassing, and if you were looking for the cache you needed to drive around the block to the park. You did do that eventually. Our property is 100 ft to the back of it.....I can understand your walking the first 30 feet of it.......but clearly the next 70 feet is completely private and clearly trespassing. So, what you told people here is a lie, and out and out lie. You were CLEARLY on private property, there CLEARLY is no "geo trail" through the blackberries. We have owned this property for MANY, many years and to everyone else, even guests in our vacation rental......no one has EVER come through the chain and walked the 35 foot ramp mistakenly. There are also private property/no parking signs all along the front. I hope this clears it up for everyone. I am sorry that this cache will not be available anymore........it was a nice one for people, located in a nice little park and well taken care of. All of us enjoyed seeing the geocaching visitors to the park.
