Cache Hider

Yes, as I said, I was taking care of the issue. That's why I was not aware of a problem, I was looking for people to move the cache.

My cache was maintained just fine, right where it was. It caused no harm to anyone. Also. This is what the rules state: The approvers use a rule of thumb that caches placed within .10 miles (528 feet or 161 meters) of another cache may not be listed on the site. This is an arbitrary distance and is just a guideline Other rules: In the event that a cache is not being properly maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an extended period of time, we may archive or transfer the listing. Where does it say that you will send someone out to reposses the cache? If a temporary cache is one that is expected to last less than 3 months, then it should be safe to assume that my cache was one that would be safe for at least 3 months. Did you happen to notice that it was on an island? I feel as though I have been unfairly treated by an overzealous admin.

Can I get another reviewer? Please? Oh now I see, by saying "The owner has been asked to either move or remove it but has not replied" you mean that I have not looked at the page for my unapproved cache. Now I get it. Gee, I thought that you meant that you emailed me. How would I know to look at that? I read that you didn't aprove the cache so I planned to get it. I am sorry that I do not live by your schedule or that I didn't realize that I had to read the logs in my unapproved cache page. See, since the cache was not approved I didn't expect that there would be logs there. I guess I missed that rule. I never would have thought that something that was not approved would have log entries on it. I guess anything is possible Here's that "contact" that I missed. May 10 by gpsfun (212 found) Please let me know your plans for this cache. If you would like to move your physical cache placement away from the existing cache, you are free to do so. After you edit the coordinates on your cache page, please let me know and I will be glad to review it again. If you do not plan to relocate it, please let me know. It would be best for you to make arrangements to pick up the cache so it does not become litter. If that is difficult or not possible, please let me know and I will seek a volunteer to remove it. I need to hear from you within the next ten days, otherwise we will need to begin searching for someone to take care of it. Thank you for your understanding. -gpsfun geocaching.com volunteer reviewer [view this log on a separate page] March 30 by gpsfun (212 found) I am sorry we were not able to post your cache page to the web site. Will you be removing the container or perhaps relocating it away from existing caches? You can contact me at gpsfun@geocachingadmin.com Thank you. -gpsfun geocaching.com volunteer reviewer [view this log on a separate page] March 15 by gpsfun (212 found) Greetings, Cache Hider. We are reviewing your proposed cache Gilligan's Cache number GCHXZ6 and regret to advise you that it cannot be posted. It is only 234 feet from an existing active cache site. Cache density limits are 0.1 mile or 528 feet separation between caches. Hopefully you can relocate your cache to avoid the density issue. You can see caches close to yours by clicking on the show nearby caches link on the cache page. If you update the cache page and would like me to review it again, please send me an e-mail including the cache number at gpsfun@geocachingadmin.com Thank you. -gpsfun geocaching.com volunteer reviewer

Nobody except WreckDiver ever contacted me. I have not changed my email address. I was planning to get the cache as soon as I could get out to that area. It is not an easy drive, it would take at least a half day for me to drive there, get the cache and get home. My back has been bothering me and its has been raining for the last four Sundays, and that's the only day that I can get there. I spent a lot of time and effort in building this cache and trying to find a challenging location. After all my work, I am told, sorry, it's too close. Imagine how you'd feel.... then after that ordeal you get an email from a nice person that says that there was a big problem with your cache and it had to be rescued. What was the big hurry anyway? It was safe on an island. Thanks GPSFUN. If you check my logs, you'll see that I can only get out to enjoy Geocaching every few months and that it is not unusual for me to not log in for over six months at a time. Thanks for making GPS-NOT-SO-FUN. My cache was not in need of adoption. It was a runaway.

I would have a problem with McToys being left if the person putting them in the cache was the CEO of McDonalds & his username was McDonalds & his Profile said his name was McDonald's Corporation. And he said "if you need a burger, visit the McToy." That's the extent of what was entered on the log.

I read a post that commercial caches are not allowed, but what about commercial advertising in logs, items left. I read a post about business cards before, but I don't remeber it. Here's my cache... http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=15408 the most recent log is from someone who put in a hat & posted on the log about their business. What should I do? Leave it? Delete it? Personally, I think it's tacky. The last thing I'd like to find while out enjoying the outdoors is an ad (or hat) in a cache. I think people should be required to read the rules before finding caches! You about at "test" before people can activate their accounts!!!
