Can I be a "multi-cacher?" It depends who I am with! My good friend is purely a numbers girl. I often find myself standing in a busy intersection looking ridiculous and out of place while looking for a nano on a fire hydrant when I'm with her! I prefer the woods but when I go with her, we need to pick out power trails to convince her the hike is "worth it." My husband and I love to hike to exercise ourselves and the dogs. When we are in the woods, we often only get one cache. We love a terrain four or so with a difficulty of 1-3 where the accomplishment is mostly in having gotten to the cache!

I'm assuming the CO didn't realize that the container should be in place before the listing is submitted. +1 Account opened just a couple days ago, first cache hidden by a girl scout troop. Yep, my guess too. Yeah, I would assume it was just a mistake and not malevolence. Scout/Guide troops are universally notorious for earnest cache placement bloopers. I'm breathing easier... I've accepted that you are probably correct that it was an honest error. I do wish the CO would've at least responded to the messages my cache buddy sent to ask if the cache was out, then later to ask to be notified when it was placed officially.

Happened today! I got a notification this morning that a new cache had been published 13 hours ago. It was an east one 1.0/1.0 so I figured I'd stop by on my way to work (6:30am) and try to get my very first FTF! I spent half an hour looking and couldn't find the thing. I had to go to work. I texted my friend and sent her over because I thought, if I didn't get the FTF, maybe she could get her first instead. She went over at about 11am and spent an hour looking. She even enlisted a bunch of older gentlemen from the senior center. She couldn't find it. I went back after work at 4:30pm. What do you know...plain as day, a huge cache container at the location and someone had already found it. It was definitely NOT there when I went in the morning. I'm assuming the CO held off on putting the cache out until it was published so her kid or another person could get the FTF?????

So cool to see your SWAG turn up! My friend often leaves suicide awareness bracelets with a little card giving the web address where she details the journey she took when she lost her son. A woman found one of the bracelets and posted a pic on the site with a thank you for the bracelet. The bracelets simply say "You are Loved" with the web address on the inside.

I'm sorry your answers were published. I just wanted to offer another reason people might access your puzzle and never intend to do the find. I am a middle school math teacher. Sometimes, I offer puzzle cache puzzles (especially the math related ones) to my students as extra (more interesting) activities!

How boring am I? I printed it out using "fit to page" then went through the maze like I did when I was in grade school to get the password/ Who new there were all these techy ways to solve a maze?

As someone who had cancer and had to take a year off from all life activities to do treatment, I can understand completely how frustrating it is to NOT be able to tend to work, let alone hobbies! I applaud you for attempting to contact the coin owners and I'm glad you are on the mend and getting back out there. I only just re-joined life outdoors about a year ago so I know it can be hard to get back in the groove! Attending an event (as one user suggested) might be a good way for you and your boyfriend to really jump back into the sport and dispersed all the coins in the quickest way possible to ensure they travel along ASAP now that you are on the road to being healthy. Prayers to you that you remain that way!
