Me too! I went out to a park that I've been scoping out on the map with the intent to get 8 so I could finally get to 200. I think I found 14. I actually heard about it from a coworker who knows I go geocaching. Apparently it was mentioned on the local news because we landed a mega event, GeoWoodstock XIX - 2023. I might have to attend that, the only other event I have attended was a CITO a few years ago.

Ah, on the website there is an email link, I'll try that. Thanks. I did do a write note on the cache page "I checked and it's still there" when someone gave it a NM after they DNF'd. It's a unique guardrail cache. Took me a while to find it. It's had at least twice as many finds as DNF's since then, but local Reviewer has been archiving a lot lately. I think that's a good thing, but I don't want to see this get archived just because people are expecting to find a pill bottle stuffed in to the end of a guardrail. The 3.0 difficulty rating should be clue but I didn't notice that either when I first looked it. So I DM'd the CO about adopting it because they hadn't been active in awhile. At least if I could tell the message was read the answer was probably "No".

I see that the CO I messaged has logged on since I sent the message a few months ago. I checked my messages and no reply but I have no idea if they even saw it.

After finally reading the whole thread I see that I am guilty of three of the most "popular" irks. Found it TFTC logs, not logging DNFs, and not logging NMs. Well now I know, and I hear knowing is a certain percentage of the skirmish. I have a new irk, my own dumb luck. This weekend I went to park with multiple caches. After walking about a mile up a trail and arriving at a lake that I see has a dirt road and parking nearby at sit down at a picnic table. There's no one around except for a single fisherman. I'm about 100 feet from a cache but I sit and chill and take in the nice view (after all, that's what this hobby is all about). I enjoy the nice breeze, drink some water, smoke a cig. No sooner than I stand up, field strip the cig, start walking toward the cache, three muggles pull up and start fishing about fifty feet from GZ. *heavy sigh*

What irks me, I read the post about Premium Membership being worth it. I was getting bored with all the LPC's and guardrails so I bought a 1-year membership. The first PMO that I pull up to...a LPC!
