i understand, just letting all finish their thoughts and answering question. time for bed here. thanks

So what if you had an approver in Nevada? Maybe he would live in Reno and couldn't make it down to Vegas to check on your cache before listing it? There aren't enough approvers to visit all caches before listing them. Once in a while it will happen, but most are approved using online maps and other information. only ones in question should be looked apon You're complaining that it's taking over a week for an approval and now you want the approver to come by and check on it personally? I think you just answered your own question. Can you imagine having to wait for an approver to come check on your cache just because there is a perceived problem? Keep in mind that the approvers are volunteers. They don't get an airfare or gas allowance to check on caches. In the large western states an approver may live several hours away. It could take weeks or months for an approver to schedule a day or weekend trip. It's much easier to put the questionable caches on hold and approve the easy ones. When they have time, they'll get back to it. i dont expect him to look at it, but if it is that questionable, why doesn't he tell me what i need to do? Patience. I haven't read your email exchange with him, so I can't say for sure. Like I said earlier, he's taking care of the easy approvals right now. When he gets a chance to sit down with yours I'm sure he'll ask the questions he wants answers to (if he hasn't done so already). He might be waiting on you. Be sure to include the GCxxxx number on all emails. he has askes one question and i answered promptly.

ok, you got it,

Oh? Yep, plus a quick check of your profile show that you've got hides in Las Vegas. lol, got me there, i dont mean to be a im just agitated with the whole situation

and yet approver is in another state, something wrong with that? how can they get all the detailes of the cache if thay cant physically look at it.

Oh? i gues your a genius, let me make it easy for you,

i havend named any names. You don't have to. Many of us know who the approver is for your area i didn't even give you my area, and i have had 3 diff approvers so far

have you ever found one like this before? that ask for the date on a penny or something? i have one that requires the date on the penny for verification, it signifies my anniversary, and the finder said they enjoyed it when the emailed me. I checked out your hides and saw that one. That one I can deal with, it's little sappy but hey, nothing wrong with that. Here's the big question: What happens if someone who actually finds the cache forgets to email you or maybe is dyslexic and gets the date wrong. Would you delete their found it log? no, but i will be verifying the internet logs with physical logs, if you dont sign the physical log and do post a log on line and havent emailed the number then i would That's cool. Don't see the problem then. Maybe the approver for got about you. Who is the approver for your area? Not that it matters, I'm sure he wasn't intentionally trying to be rude. Or maybe he was, who knows. It what fashion did you hide the cache? Maybe that has something to do with it. Tell us quick while no one from your area is looking. it is along the main road in sight of a bank and an att wireless store, that is why i named it what i did

i havend named any names.

Oh there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, like I said, i just don't get it. Couple things, One, if everybody starts throwing change in a fim canister and stashing it somewhere, its not uniqe and interesting, its boring. Thats part of why log books because totally required. Otherwise someone never has to maintain the cache. No log book that can be filled up, and so what if a little water gets in there, you can still tell what the coins are. (not that many would do that, but some could try) And, many people find reading the actual logbook very interesting. Two, if the log book is missing its obvisous right away. If some moron finds the cache and decided he wants some spare change, or a key ring, or a steel fender washer or whatever else. They take some of them, and the next person to find the cache, comes up with a different, 'wrong' count. They really did find the cache, but it can cause confusion until its figure out why/when the count changed. i see how this can be a problem, but that is why one must upkeep their cache, if a different number is emailed then you know something is up and warants an unscheduled check. and there is a log in this cache.

right

i contacted him on the 10th on the status and he was rude in the reply

do you think i should retrieve it and give up?

he hasn't danied nor approved it, he just asked the question and didn't reply when i gave him answer

mine does include a log book

why do you say this one wont work, check out my others,

it is near the bank, not infront of the bank, it is off of a public road not on the bank property.

i'm just agrivated on why this one has been set aside and my other have been approved

no, but if you log it on line and your not on the physical log in the cache i would, i just wanted to make the hunt more fun.
