What Is The Average Age Of A Geocacher?

Yea... I made a CD only cache. I made sure it would not be muggled by putting it on the side of a cliff/ canyon wall. It is a three stage, hiking cache which ensures the people finding it are dedicated geocachers who probably would not want to steal all the CDs... If you want to look at it, it is The Donut Lady CD Cache

Boy Scouts And Geocaching :d

Hey! Hi... My name is Alex. I am a 16 year old Life Scout (Just need my Eagle Board of Review for Eagle) of Albuquerque Troop 166. If you want to see me, pick up this months issue of Scouting Magazine (March/April). My Troop got the cover shot and my brother and I are in there (I am the one with long hair with the water fall near me and I have one with my name in there). I was the Senior Patrol Leader of my Troop then... Anyways, it is pretty hard to get GPS Geocaching into Scouts. I think the best way would be to set up a orienteering course (with compasses) to a cache you know about. Adults are very receptive to this, but they are not very receptive to GPS. Yep... -
I don't believe that geocachers are the kind of people that take debris from plane crashes... Actually, I found my first geocache accidentally at a TWA plane crash in near Albuquerque, NM. It is called TWA Canyon Cache. My point is that people go to most plane crashes anyways, cachers or not, so what is so wrong about putting a cache there?

Wow! I have never written in the forums before, but this article just ignited me. I could not disagree more with all of his points. He implys that geocaching desecrates the wilderness. What a bunch of bull! In my personal experiences with other geocachers, I have not met one who is not enviromentally concise. I do not want to bring down the right of religious freedom for the Native Americans he traveled with; But the land is supported by public money contributed by geocachers and non-geocachers alike. If geocachers are not able to enjoy the wilderness they payed for and supported, what rights do other outdoor enthusiasts have? Exactly, the public lands need to be free for everyone; geocachers and muggles.
