Now that is dedication to the sport

I would say just call the police and let then find out what it is befor someone else gets hurt ( like someones child)

I have not gone for any caches because I can no longer ride the quad or walk long distances due to an injury and as for the rest of it Get Real! Only one Obsessed is you with yourself and how you think your caches are great because you throw money at them. Best caches I have found were micros. No swag involved !!!! Not worth discusing any further

I agree with you completely. in your profile if you have any stats listed that is your choice. It doesn't mean you are a bad person or are bragging. When you go to the DR office and they have all their certificates on the wall framed, Does that mean they are bragging too. No one here is breaking the rules. Everyone plays the game with their own touches added to it. What next ? Should all caches have the same contents too. Its the varity and diffrent experinces that really drive this GAME. If People like to go into forums and pick apart other people that are playing the same family game BUY THE RULES Then maybe this forum and game is not the right one for them. Maybe be a hockey forum might be more suited for them.

I like this one! I was thinking that......then there it was or Cachie.

Im no expert but i don't think that would ever make it through publishing. Surely airport security would get very excited if people were to all stop and look around the same area too often.

It is private land since the hospital owns it, but anyone can use the area whenever they wish, preferably during daylight hours. So what will the security guards say to someone who is wandering the grounds after dark? Good question...there are no guards there ever. If the need arises, and the need usually involves an emergency, the police are called. The area is far enough from the building that I don't think there would be a concern about that, though. What if it was put on the cache page that this cache is not to be done at night? Thats another good idea! Sure just put a availbility time frame. Most geocachers from what I have seen follow the rules that are specified to them because it only benifits them that the cache is placed there.

I agree. if the area is open to public use then go for it. If it is a fairly busy park then the challange is now on you to be crafty with you hide

Thank you, I do not brag about my FTF numbers and we really enjoy all the deep wood caches because we dont like to do the anti-muggle sneaking and risk caches bacause usually when we go out its myself, 3 kids,my wife and sometimes my father so it kind of hard to look inconspicuous in the city. Were those said caches are placed can be down right hard to get to and some of them may sit for a while. Ive always taken something like that as a challange but I guess I stand corrected. The cache owners always seem to love to hear from me to find out about our adventure was on our way to the caches.

I'm Probably taking a chance of being jumped on by others but here is my side of the story (yes, we are the supposedly obsessed FTF'ers that JEEPers is refering to) First of all, thier caches were placed in areas that gave us more reason to go there as there are only a few caches in those area's (which we made a point of getting all the other ones in the surrounding area) . We could really care less about the FTF certificates, we could even mail them back if they like, My son gets realy excited when he looks into the caches and sees an FTF certificate(pity). As for unfair trading, i have no clue what they are talking about unless they mean their treasure $20.00 tim hortons card which i did not notice becase my son retrieved the FTF, we took a picture, did your trade, signed log and did not notice it untill we were drivign out of the area( which that day we hit 9 caches including 1 DNF and 3 which i was not aware of)Meaning that we did not go all the way out there just for jeepers cache. Back to the Tim Hortons Card, When we looked at it, it was clearly marked FTF Prize, We took a picture of it, waiting for this moment. We can post the picture if anyone would like to see it in our defence The picture is a close up on the writing that states it is an FTF Prize. After I noticed the going ons about this Tims Certificate. I didnt realize that it was to be a travel bug of some sort of TB or should be tagged as one(concidering it came 1200 miles) and they would like it moved on instead of used. So i have placed it in a zip lock bag with one of there coins so that they can track it too. I had emailed them as soon as i noticed that they were upset and told them, If they were upset about me going to there caches(which some sat a few days before I went to) that I would leave their caches alone because its not worth all this B.S. They did not respond. Furthermore, if i was truly FTF obsessed, why would I go to a cache or find a cache, not log it, and sit and wait till a few other people log it. A good example is their is one half a block from my house and their are a few new caches that I have placed and someone were to get the FTF's for each of them then all the power to them, they were first to get there. Futhermore any FTF certificate that my family and I have gotten, we've gotten from seeing the publishing coming up just like everyone else does who has a premium membership. We are planing a trip to the whiteshell and I dont think that any of the other cache placers will mind if we find their caches as we will make sure that we dont visit anymore of the said persons caches. As for the comment about asking for gas money, which was clearly a friendly joke(and they know it was) as we were on a friendship basis. After finding one of their caches in terrible weather another fellow cacher posted a note on their cache commending us for braving the poor weather and bad conditions then they procided to post a note with the sole and only intention to slam us. When not understanding the rules and guidelines of geocaching one should read them. If they like they can continue washing their dirty laundry in here which I do not like to do, but I did feel it was time to finally clear this up. I have let my two older daughters see all of these going on's and as young kids, They are totally flabergasted. I want to make sure that they are fully prepared for all the B.S that life can throw at them,And this is a good example. Its a pity that this B.S has to be in a family hobby and we are very sorry if we have enjoyed your caches. We are not to fond of city caches so we like the country ones. This will be my one and only posting on this.

Wow!!! all I can say is Wow!!! Reading through all these ideas makes me want to revisit my dnf's and look at things a little diffrently. I think this is the best topic in here. I also got a bunch of great new ideas for some hides. Yes I too can be evil

I think That is kinda cool. All you need to do is try it and see what kind of feedback you get from the finders. You never know this could be the start of something new. BTW did you design that your self? if so very nice job!

Have a sense of entitlement, do we? It's just a piece of tupperware in the woods. Is that park open to the public at 11:00 PM? Probably not. Have a sense of entitlement, do we? It's just a piece of tupperware in the woods. Is that park open to the public at 11:00 PM? Probably not. On school night no less. any more stupid comments? Sooooo, you don't like the certificate I made for you? You just working on your post numbers? your my hero! is that what you want to here. GET A LIFE!!!!!!

No we don't have a sense of entitlement and yes the park is open 24-7 and im impressed that you could figure that school night thing out. My oldest daughter came with me. who is in the top of her class in school. any more stupid comments? go and reread what I said and look at what the host of this cache said after an edit. enough said!!!

First of all i did not demand a FTF! I asked if they could maybe send one in the email. In our area Pretty much all the caches have FTFs. But I see by the edit even the host saw what a bunch of morons have to say. And as to the one or two decent replys yes my kids think they are like trophys and look forward to opening a new cach and finding one as they are really getting into this new hobbie. Hopefully they never have to come across people like the ones in here that have nothing better to do besides wait for someone to ask a question and show their IQ levels in a public forum. As for the people that tried to help the poster I tip my hat and say thanks.
