    Time for another rant...

    Okay, I know I'll eventually regret this, but what is up with this armchair geocaching (logging virtual caches without actually visiting the site). Admittedly, I've done a couple of virtuals that allowed me to log the cache without visiting the site.... didn't seem right. I've found several armchair logs on my Zoo virtual. One cacher from Germany was in Michigan and Denmark on the same day logging virtuals. Another cacher (also from Germany) logged virtuals in a half dozen scattered states on the same day. They claimed to have visited, but had not.

     

    I know it's only a game, I know people will play the game the way they want to, I know people will set up their own rules, I know it just doesn't matter at the end of the day. It just seems to me that the basic requirement of a cache, virtual or otherwise, is to actually be at that location, whether it be for the view, a little history, a clever hide or what have you.

     

    I'm tempted to delete these armchair logs, but I know in the end it will be just more of a headache and just not worth it. Oh well, it's only a game. Thanks for letting me rant. Oh, yeah, got a golden retriever puppy today. Look for pictures soon.

     

    D!

    Delete! I say y' gotta hold 'em t' score 'em.

    I agree. They actually want us to delete them:

     

    Cache Maintenance

    The cache owner will assume all responsibility of their cache listings. The responsibility of your listing includes quality control of posts to the cache page. Delete any logs that appear to be bogus, counterfeit, off topic, or not within the stated requirements.

     

    Well, in that case... deleted six logs tonight, all cachers from Germany. Once cacher actually "borrowed" a picture from a previous cacher's log in their post! Cheeky monkey!

    :o:lol::o Too keep up with the times... Shouldn't it say "Will Give Hints 4 Gas" instead since it's almost $4.50 gallon :lol::o;)

     

    $4.50 a gallon? Is that all? It costs $11.50 a gallon here in the UK. Only costs me $185 to fill the tank!

    Yeah, lots of hiking for caches. Cya,

    Did anyone else read the article in the UT this morning about the Sycamore Landfill? Looks like we may have a new summit in the making right next to cache-filled Spring Canyon. Don't know about the rest of you, but that may dampen my enjoyment of the area just a bit. Link.

     

    I agree, that'll be a mountain of trash and it'll probably look a bad as the one in RSD when they're done.

     

    I wasn't going to reply to this, but I kinda wanna bump this thread into the next page. ThePolarBear's face is kinda freakin' me out.

     

    No offense, Patrick!!

    Not Geocaching related but my wife and I both have Verizon Wireless Cell phones and have been bombarded with emails from a gambling website. Since I turned my cell phone on at 3:30pm, I have probably received 25 of the same email and her phone has just a little different email but from the same gambling website. What a pain in the a**.

     

    Weird... I have new cache notifications sent to my phone. I've had about 30 notifications for the same cache since this afternoon. Yes, I've turned off my notifications, doesn't make a difference.
