Whats up? Wish I could make it down for the MTRP hike but I have to work till 7 p.m and I see your leaving at 8 pm and my drive is 1 1/2 hours. I need that 12 mile hike to get me ready for San Jacinto next month. I replied on the event page in Wisconsin and I think what they are doing is devaluating finds. They can defend their pocket caches all they want. If the PC's they are talking about are so legit, then why are they logging it as an event? Just another way for cachers to justify easy finds I guess. Have fun on your hike. Man, I really want to go.
here are a couple of emails I go from the Wisconsin cachers

Hughescrew,
In Wisconsin the way events are done are that there are many
"temporary" caches created for the event. These caches are just as
challenging, some more so, than regular caches. Some states establish temporary
cahces and then tell you to log them on a regualr traditional cahce page. Each
state handles events differently, and just like religion, there is no wrong
answer.
Your profile didn't say where you are from but I see that you have cached most
recently in California; things may be done differently in CA than in Wisconsin,
just as in other states.
Keep in mind, this is a hobby and people play it different and for different
reasons. Again -- there are no right or wrong answers.

I was at the event in Kewaskum and it took all day to find very cleverly hidden
caches that were located in various locations throughout the town. Why do you
care what my numbers or anyone else's are? We found these caches just like any
others and I don't understand how that is "cheating" please explain
your logic. Thank you.

They are logging the temp caches that were placed. Thats why you see so many
people logging this.
