Hi Aran, thank you for your concerns, they are valid concerns and we appreciate you bringing this to our Geocaching Community. I am not the owner of all the caches in and around your area, but I do know them and they are good friends just playing a game. They also live on a ranch but much closer to town and they value everything it seems that makes ranch life something to value. I know that the just love the game of Geocaching and surely didn't mean any harm or disrespect.
That being said, I had one cache close by, it is now gone and no one will be bothering you because of it. You may have one more stop as I go out and pick up the cache (one of groundspeaks rules is to pick up your geotrash ) So please forgive me, and maybe someday you will understand our crazy game and join us... Till then, Cali~Bear God Bless...
