If multiple people are getting one or more of the question wrong and are making the same mistake then the question being asked may be ambiguous. There may be more than one "correct" answer No, the answers are pretty clear and easy. They are found on info plaques in the rest area building and just outside.

I looked for it but was unable to find it. I don't think there is any thing close to where it is hidden where the throwdown could be. Unfortunately I had to hide it in a LP since there is no other possible hiding spot and all the lp's are spaced far out.

Actually the type of container is listed in the description on the last line. Thanks for the input, everyone. I'm still torn on what to do. If they found the throwdown, it means they got the questions wrong and I don't really want to reward them with a "found". I think I will tweak the description page and leave the found logs alone. I think there are only four. And then after today I will delete those that find the replacement.

Thanks for the link. Here is my cache My link

Hello all...I would like some advice. I own a multicache and to get the coordinates for the final, one must answer six pretty easy multiple choice questions. One day, a cacher couldn't find the final and decided it was missing. So s/he thought s/he would do me a favor by replacing it. A few days later I checked on it and discovered, no- it was not missing. Apparently that cacher got the coordinates wrong-perhaps answering a question wrong. Now, over the past few weeks some cachers have found the "replacement" cache and logged it as "found". Meanwhile, others have found the actual cache as well. I am leaning towards deleting the found logs for those who found the replacement. Should I do this or just forget about it? I don't want to be an uptight jerk, but I think it is unfair to those who got the questions right and did find the correct cache. I tried to find the replacement myself so I could throw it away but was unable to. I also posted a note on the cache page asking that if one should find the replacement ( a baggie rather than the pill bottle) to throw it away and keep looking. Any advice is appreciated- Thanks

Attention DFW cachers: I have just archived a cache- Mt Elzie It was in a great spot in Arlington's River Legacey Park-East. It has a nice climb and the best views in all of Tarrant County. This is a great place to hide a cache. I had it here for over six years and it had almost a hundred finders. It has been muggled and I figured I'd let someone else have the oppurtunity. So good luck to whoever places one here and I look forward to looking for it.

Don't forget to visit "Red Eye"- one of mine!

One of mine was burnt in a series of grassfires in North Texas last December. GCRJ6R Be sure to read the saga of Fikkie the firedog travel bug from Europe!

I have a few in Big Bend Area I think are quite good- "Sul Ross" in Alpine "Sanderson Canyon" in Sanderson and "Las Lulas" near Presidio- (hasn't been logged in over a year)

Here is a cache of mine that did not survive the North Texas grass fires of December 2005

I hiked up Picacho Peak but couldn't find the cache. It was still worth the hike. I actually didn't have time to do any in Phoenix, but I did pretty much all the ones between Phoenix and Las Vegas(around 20) A Shocking View was my favorite, I think.

I was in San Francisco last September. One day I rented a bike from Blazing Saddles and rode the ferry to Angel Island. I rode my bike all over the island and searched for over 20 caches. I had a total blast and would love to do it again to search for new ones and those that I missed. Also, I was in Tucson earlier this month and visited Picacho Peak State Park. There is a cache on top of the peak that requires a strenuous two mile hike. I couldn't find it, but the coordinates have since been updated. Actually, since you are going to Tucson in June, you might want to skip that one. I can't imagine hiking up that trail in 100 degree weather.

Thanks, Jet- I'll check 'em out

any one?

If you could only do one geocache in Phoenix area and one in Tucson area, what would it be? I'm gonna be there in two weeks and am looking for a couple of great ones. Perferably 3 stars or greater. I will be in a regular car, so please take that into consideration. thanks jusb

What a View! There are 63 variances

No- I'll just leave it in the decon, but put it back on the ledge. That way it will warrant 4 stars. If you're ever in Central Texas, come check it out!

It was not in a tree, but it was perched on a ledge under a bridge. Apparently he dropped it and cut his finger while trying to clean it up. As to why I chose a glass container: I don't really know why. It was just convenient and I never really considered someone dropping it.

I actually stated in the cache description that it was a jar- although I did not say glass or plastic. You could see the container from the ground before climbing for it. I also had the "no kids" as well as the "dangerous climb" attributes. And I stated "please be careful" and gave it a 4 star terrain rating.

I just got bitched out by a cacher in his find log. It seems he did not approve of my container. It was a glass jar wrapped in masking tape painted green. I guess he dropped it, broke it and cut his hand on it. I have found quite a few glass containers and never knew they were so controversial. Was I out of line? I know glass containers are not forbidden in the guidelines, but are they really that frowned upon? Your opinions, please!

I recommend you go to Del Rio instead of Laredo. For one thing. there are more caches in Del Rio (one is mine). But more importantly, Nuevo Laredo is a very dangerous place right now. There is a major drug war going on. Although tourists are generally safe, its still pretty risky.

There aren't a whole lot of caches in the Harlingen/Brownsville area at all. I think Brownsville (and Laredo,TX) must have the fewest caches per capita in the U.S. However, South Padre Island - about 20 miles-has some good ones. And the McAllen area has a whole lot (must be all the snowbirds). I was there less than a year ago and there were only a dozen or so in town, and now theres got to be over a hundred.

Ha! That's great!
