so i placed the cache and come to find out its actually on the edges of a state park so now i am waiting to get approval for a permit. this cache is turning out to be harder then i thought but it is worth the veiw so here comes the waiting

i am having problems with this with my cache right now to. i have been lucky so far that it has not been muggled. after a few people posted that it wasnt hidden well i went out and took a look somebody had placed it on the ground in front of it hiding spot. well i posted in the log that i fixed it and asked cachers to place it back where it belongs. went out today and yet again it was laying on the ground. this time i have a good idea who did it since there has only been 2 logged finds well im not one to point fingers if im not sure and since either could have done it im leaving it alone. well long story short i have posted in the logs that if i find it again in this condition that i will remove the cache. its as simple as that. caching is not fun if caches are left out in the open.

thanks everyone for your advice i've decided to plant the cache and hope for the best i am ging to plant it at the spot where people normally go for pictures and add to the cache page that there is a better view. i am actually about to go scout out spots right now

Sounds like fun but i work saturdays it makes it hard to attend these events as most of them are on saturday. i actually went to school near there so it would really have been fun to go to this one.

i live in orange county ny and generally cache in the same area though i have been trying to finid them in areas that i go to i dont always seem to be able to. such as my week in massacusetts with 0 finds.

I am still rather new to geocaching but am having a lot of fun with it. I was wondering if there where any fellow cachers in my area that would be up for going out and looking together as my friends that do enjoy this do not live in the area.

its nothing like that just some broken glass and graffitie like i said. i know that it does take away from the veiw a lot but it seems that people still stop and take pictures and what not there still hasnt been one time that i have been up there and not had someone else taking a picture. its just that from the spot where most people take their pictures is away from the glass. but it still doesnt offer the best veiw and most exciting experiance. i still tell my friends when they go there that they havent been there until they make the little climb down the side to the landing that looks out over the river. unfortunitly that is where the glass is. my idea was to place 2 caches in this location one for children at the normal picture spot and one on the landing for adults. i would place the waypoint for the adult one as the regular cache coords then in the listing place the secind cache coords as a way point and specify that it is for the children. should i just give up on the idea or is this a good solution?

Ok so i have this spot that i want to hide a cache at. Its a truly beautiful spot with an amazing view and a slight difficulty to it i think that it would be perfect for a cache. My problem is that at night time it does turn into a spot for local teens to go and drink and smoke pot. This has resulted in a lot of graffitie and broken glass. i know that geocaching is a family sport and i know that this spotisnt exactly the best place for children. Actually for more reasons then just the glass and graffitie. it also is pretty high up with nothing to pretect someone from falling a fairly high fall into a pretty big river. This is a place i know an adult can handle but worry about families bringing their children. should i place the cache and specify that it is an adults only cache or should i place a second cache nearby that is kid friendly so the adults and children can have their fun. or should i just not place at all?

Thank you

hi im new with all of this and it look like a lot of fun but i am having some problems placing my first cache. i think that it is my gps. i have a garmin nuvi 205 w. i placed the cache inside a building and i hit "where am i on the gps" and it gave me a coordinates. then i went to a couple of different places to check to makes sure that it was the correct coordinates and it gave me the same one all over the building am i not using my gps right or s something wrong with it HELP!!!!!
