Do the poles have wooden survey stakes beside them? I found a cache earlier this year that was a nano capsule inside a wooden survey stake next to a telephone pole. The stake was about two feet long 2 inches wide and about half an inch thick, the top spray painted orange. The cap of the stake was removable and and had doweling to pin it together with a hole drilled in between for the nano capsule to fit inside.

Thanks for the replies guys!

Need some advice from you guys. On July first A friend and I spent the day geocaching. One of the caches we found was an earthcache, this is also the first earthcache I have found. The cache owner required details about the subject to be emailed to them and to await approval of the requirements before you are allowed to log as found. The issue is that its been nearly A months since I first emailed them, got no response . I emailed them a second time, and once again no response . I see that they have logged in to their account since my first email to them, but has yet to get back to me or my friend who also found it. What should I do? Do I log it anyway with my picture, or continue to wait? I see somebody else has found it since my friend and I did and logged it but i'm not sure if they just got sick of waiting for a response and logged it anyways.

To put it bluntly. It keeps out the riff raff.

Does anyone else sometimes feel like taking an entire cache and tossing it in the garbage? Yesterday a friend and I were caching and we lost count of how many caches in the area are in such bad shape that they could be considered trash. Water filled caches and logs so wet its nearly impossible to sign without tearing up the pages. It really annoys me when people think containers like the blue lid ziploc plastics and icecream buckets are excellent ideas for a cache. I find it hard to keep myself from leaving nasty comments venting my disgust at their containers which are similar quality to the often surrounding trash... And when the cache owner actually admits to doing maintenance it more often than not just involves wrapping it in a grocery bag or garbage bag. I feel like showing up at their homes and throwing a pelican case or a good ammo box at their face with all the force I can muster. Id like to just do a CITO of my area and start tossing caches and i'm sure most of you feel the same way. Although I currently have no caches of my own, over the summer I will be placing some and they'll be pelican cases or similar. I hope some of the local cachers with bad caches see these and feel embarrassed and it motivates them to replace their caches or toss them in the garbage.
