Add another 'lurker' to the ever growing list - have just recently discovered the various threads - and haven't lurked enough to be put off by the harsh ones. We've been caching since mid-summer and are putting together 'stuff' for our first cache - Am I right is assuming (I know, I know) that you send in your plan and description to a 'checker' and wait for their reply to actually put the cache out?? Also, will they, if asked, make suggestions and comments? Shall continue to lurk and see if I get any answers!!
