JUST LOGGED MY SECOND CACHE IN TWO DAYS....no souvenir..... Guess the feedback has HQ a bit discombobulated ......

see the post below mine...explains it all..a Virtual NORMALLY takes one to interesting places with a requirement to DO something/answer questions, etc...key here is INTERESTING...and they've been part of the game for a long time until HQ tightened up on them...I'm not arguing with anyone, I just see that a LOT of people will 'prepare' LABS for others but won't hide a damned regular cache.....that has HURT geocaching where I live...I won't do the AL's and would love to see them disappear...anything that requires a separate app isn't part of the 'real' game/hobby...JUST MY OPINION

the whole 'concept' of 'Adventure Labs' is flawed....and has nothing to do with REAL geocaching...it's an easy way out for those too lazy to hide REAL caches....and an easy way for the obsessive types to stack their 'numbers'... Hate AL's, is there any chance they will be discontinued? or at least removed from the Geocaching NUMBERS game? Bring back more VIRTUALS or something, but these labs are the most annoying thing HQ has done.
