  1. Like this? BTW- It was assumed that I placed mine in playground equipment. The park my cache is in has no playground equipment. Actually these are bigger plugs about 4 inches in diameter. What do people think about requiring people to pry off pieces of playground equipment to find a cache? Does that fall under the guideline "Caches that deface public or private property, whether a natural or man-made object, in order to provide a hiding place, a clue or a logging method."?
  2. Being a middle aged man, I am also uncomfortable searching a playground alone for a cache, so I drag along my son for cover. I have been struggling with a local playground cache that must be hidden in a piece of playground equipment, based on the coordinates. Around the equipment is just an open flat area with wood chips. On the underside of the plastic equipment are these big plastic "plugs" that cover holes that expose the bolts used to construct it. After fruitlessly searching everywhere else I am starting to think that it may be hidden inside the plastic body itself under one of these plugs. Several were loose enough to remove and replace with my fingers, but others are too tight and would require a large screwdriver to pry them off. Many of them are marked up like have been pried off before, probably by other geocachers. I am still trying to build up the gumption to show up with a big screwdriver and start prying, but what do other people think about hiding a cache that requires searchers to use tools to pry open, and possibly damage, public playground equipment. I am not comfortable with it, but really can't officially complain until I actually find the dern thing, maybe it isn't inside at all. But even if it isn't, it encourages people to open up the plugs to look for it. Is this a common hiding technique for playgrounds? Any thoughts? Bad hide, or frustrated newb complaining?
