    Ban Micro Caches

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    Which is more elitist, the fact that many of us hang out in the forums, or that someone would assume that we don't know anything about the hobby because we post here often.  :(

     

    We have the choice of not participating in those threads of which we are weary or of which we have no interest.

     

    So, as you have proven in this thread by the way you successfully managed to derail the thread into off-topic nonsense, (an action a few individuals seem to habitually do in threads every single day), it's obviously the former. :(

    Hey, you're off topic!

    I would not do Geo Boys cache because (1) He just started and is unproven (2) He has not yet hidden a cache and (3) Until he proves he can produce quality hides, I do not want to spend my time. Check back in six months.

    This is the thread that never ends

    It just goes on and on, my friend.

    Some people started doing it not knowing what it was

    Now they'll just keep on doing it forever just because

    This is the thread that never ends.....

    Dear Property Owner or Public Land Owner:

     

    I am a geocacher and I would like to place a geocache on your land. It is a fun game and good geocachers will visit the cache but will be careful not to disturb the surrounding area or leave trash. Of couse, I will eventually lose interest in this sport and, when I do, the cache will be left where it is. You see, no one is responsible for its removal after I quit. But I'm sure you won't mind. Oh, there is the possibility the McToys will be strewn around a small area as the cache degrades due to lack of maintenance and some muggle finds it and trashes it. But, hey, it's no one's responsibility now. You, Mr. Owner, won't mind, will you? And, it could continue to exist indefinitely, long after it is forgotten---just another piece of rubbish on your wonderful property. That would be OK, wouldn't it?

     

    So give me permission to abuse your trust when my interests turn elsewhere...and thanks.

    Well....that appears to be the case here. I just checked, and the guy has moved nearly 2000 miles away. He has not turned any of his caches over for adoption, but neither has he responded to notes left on at least one of them, speculating that the cache has gone missing.

     

    So what is the right thing to do here, assuming that this still isn't found for another few months? Or about the rest of his local caches for that matter? (Yes, I do understand that e-mailing the guy is an appropriate thing to do, but in the case above, he's not exactly in a position to go check on the status of his cache anymore).

     

    Peace,

    Seems like a pretty open and shut case. And taking care of these caches can mean adopting them. If a cachers moves 2000 miles and makes no arrangement for the disposal of caches you're dadgum right they should be addressed by the local powers that be. This ex-cachers situation is known. Step up to the plate.
