Z'cachers

I do love it when people quote rules. Rules are good. When creating Garlic Mustard Cache, I found an existing, current virtual and copied the format. The concept was not origional. I simply changed the quest. Perhaps this existing cache was grandfathered. According to the rules, as quoted above, Garlic Mustard Cache has no availaible opportunity in geocaching. It is not a traditional, or Virtual, or Event. The it isn't even within the standards for a CITO. The majority of the replys to this thread have not been in support of this cache, for many and varied reasons. Clearly, geocaching is not a good forum for this type of activity. I asked the question and got the answer. Thanks for all the imput.

I DO LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE QUOTE RULES TO ME. AGAIN, YOU assume TOO MUCH!!! I ALSO KNOW WHAT CAPITAL LETTERS MEAN. I'm not often accused of being indirect.

And well, there you go. After the Garlic Mustard haters got their approval in on pulling the weed, the "Cache for Caching" group got rolling and BOY. are you guys more vocal! In the long run you are also in agreement with the Boss Hydee. Just to set everyone straight, I based Garlic Mustard Cache on an existing virtual. You know which one. It allows you to log a cache anywhere. Hydee knows which one, I'll not give it up. So, as much as I'd like to be able to claim some devious thought and scandal, I just wanted to incorporate a little weed genocide with caching. Hey, I do it even without a claiming a cache. ' By the way, I love it when folks quote the rules to me.

So don't do it. Or Don't attend. By the way, one would have to be blind to have never seen kudzu. You ASSume too much. Different plant. different root system, different problem. As for the rest of the species listed: perhaps someone else will tackle those. This toipc is GARLIC MUSTARD.

Wow, I am really impressed with the quick and thoughtful replys to my request for imput!! Archived by the top dog, hydee. I didn't know. I also never ment to be rude in any way, I am amazed with the work the Groundspeak volunteers do. Please, hydee, if you arelistening, No offence intended. And thank you to all the reviewers, I also Love this game. The idea to make it into a timeless caching event- that is a great! I'm emailing hydee right away with that one. I don't really care what it is called, I would just like to see the weed impacted. Kudzu- none in Indiana, perhaps one of ya'll southerners will want to take that one on. There were lots of pictures of Garlic Mustard on my cache page for those botanically impared. But a person with a Farmall as their Avtair is pulling my leg. I'm somewhat new to geocaching still. I'm not really looking for special exceptions- I know what a Pandora's Box that could be.

A couple weeks ago I created a new cache,"Garlic Mustard", requiring cachers to pull a garbage sack of the weed, take a pic with their GPS and log a location. I called it a virtual, I know the similarities to a locationless but there ARE NO NEW locationless. Ther reviewer in my area, Mountain Climber, approved the cache but it was archived by hydee , who I am guessing is also a reviewer. We as cachers can make HUGE impact on the spread of this weed. It is choking out our wooded areas , killing native species. The problems associated with this invasive non native have marked effect on both plants and animals, limiting food supply, competition for sunlight and destroying native fauna. The cache was availaible for a few days before getting archived. In that time I received 6 emails applauding this quest. I forwarded some to hydee in an attempt to have the cache reconsidered. I would appreicate your imput also. OPINIONS, cachers?

THis is only a test. BEEEEEEEEEP

Geocaching is great- I love this game and all the ways to play it. I am a new commer to caching- Why no new reverse caches? I LOVE them and have some great concepts for new listings.

Is there a sign up to receive an email for the new caches in your area? There are folks that are out within hours of posting picking up FTF. Yes, oldtimers, I am talking about you.
