I'm new to caching and so far it has been so enjoyable. My problem is the gash I now carry as I reached for the hidden cache, only to find the remains of a dirt colored beer bottle edge greeting my hand. I guess I'm wondering if others have experienced the same issue? I'm not talking about obstacles presented by mother nature, I'm talking about broken bottles, barbed wire, rusted metal, etc. I now pack gloves and if any search is near the ground, the gloves are on.

Reading the rules for placing a cache, it says you need to get permission. I'm very new to Caching and I'm loving it but this morning I was questioned for almost 15 minutes by an officer because of my search for a cache around the city water tank. I needed photo ID, (which I didn't have) he checked my bike and all its' contents and then followed me home (that's right - I lived 1 block away) to verify my identity. This is the second time in 3 days I've had problems. Another cache was behind a convenience store and it just so happened I was caching when the manager came out to dump some trash. I was told in no uncertain terms to get off the property. I have informed both cache owners of the experience but it would seem those two examples clearly support the need to contact the property owner and get permission.

Thanks for the help, Cycler0707

Can you look at what others have done and comments from their logs? I'd love to read comments from other cachers. Is there a way to do that?
