I would thank the hider for the cache and move on.
It should be noted that the OP has NOT HIDDEN ANY CACHES....this was also the case recently regarding concern about micros......the thread starter was on their second foray into the hobby but still had no hides. It has been my experience that the most criticism comes from those with the fewest hides.
That aside, there are many that have no problem with the cache described here. My wife and I detest ( she won’t get out the car) high profile/ muggle intensive caches as a nano stuck to a restaurant window sill where the diners are looking at you a few feet away, yet there must be some that love these as they are plentiful........again, I may make a brief attempt but find it or not I just TFTC and move on.
I'm not sure what your point is... yeah, I'm still fairly new and don't have any hides. That's what I'm asking the question!
unfortunately, there may be some wanting to enact Rule 4b:
"thou shall not ask questions until you have ### hides"

i really think that 24/7 just refers to the idea that it is accessible 24 hours a day every day of the week.
the flashlight icon ... or the starry night icon would indicate what you are thinking of...

use bacon as swag trade.

write as much (or as little) as you want.
as a person that drives a train, i don't have a whole lot of words to say about an LPC. i also don't want to read a lot about it either - so i'll just not read that log. i dont' want to read about anyone driving his viper up to GZ at 1am because he "needed" the FTF... hehe. i also don't want to hear about the meds they are on causing them to stay up late -therefore it is the excuse why they are roaming a greenbelt hide at 3 am when the posted hours are 6am to 10 pm...

Screw on top Peanut butter containers (Most camo'd with heavy tape which helps with UV)
never EVER use a new one of those... or a clean one either. it is best to eat as much of the PB first...then use the stuff that's on the inside walls to keep the log or re-director in place...
my favorite container... is an old twinkie wrapper that has paper clips holding it together.

WTH???
i didn't know we had to have a story behind our screen names.

For the record, your comments here will stay here; I'm not looking for ammunition to use in a feud.
darn... there went my reason to respond to this thread.

I am new to this and I have a question about revisiting a cache. Lets say I found a cache that is along a busy interstate and it holds TB'S all the time and seems like a good place to put them to move them along with people who are traveling through the area. Is it OK to go back to that cache and take one out again and put another one in that you want to move. I enjoy the TB'S and seeing where they have been and was wondering if it is ok to go back and switch them up with another TB I found else where.
yep. i did something along those lines the other day. i dropped a TB off in a spot that gets movement (that i'd visited 2 months ago). just posted a note in the online log that i was dropping off a TB.

Comment on something other than the cache...
...It was probably a bad idea to pick rush hour for this find.
...Wow I never knew it could rain this hard!
...Battled a bad cold to try for this FTF
...Stubbed my toe on the walk up to this cache.
...Brrrrr. Cold day today - the canal was frozen over!
...Picked this on up on my way home from the cinema.
...My 10th cache in this town, completing the set.
...The title of this cache appealed to my sporting side, so I had to go for it.
...The townhouses along the nearby street are a fine example of Victorian middle-class architecture.
...An SUV parked nearby is exactly the shade of my carpet at home.
You can always find something to say, be it positive, neutral, or off-the-wall.
.... Sorry about my cat, I tried to get him away before he vomited on your cache.

i have something just under 4,381...
no make that just under 4,378 sorry.

was the last log...
TNLP
or.... maybe it was a bear, they have been known to do that in the woods.

So come on up to the Great White North and get that FTF! Mind you it was 30 above Celsius this week and this morning we had a few minutes of snow! So come prepared.
So when are you coming?
30 above celsius... AND snow? global warming for sure... i bet your cats and dogs live together too!
-
since I haven't in the past and I usually wind up inviting new cachers to our regular meetings.
Hello, I'm B-Blitz and I'm a geocacher... it's been 20 minutes since my last find.
-
there is one 43 miles from my house that has not been found as of yet. It was released on 4/30.
some reason, it isn't tempting enough for the FTF hounds in this area to drive out that direction...
-
fill them both full of nano caches... fake logs in all but one in each.

We should treat all with kindness and have some empathy. We can say the same thing as well with a kind word instead of using a harse word. This is the way of the Frog.
You know, I wouldn't go back to the good 'ole days for anything in the world. I quite enjoy the comforts of the modern world.
However, I am sick of the coddling that everyone has come to expect these days.
While it would be nice if someone emailed the finder first before deleting a find, I see no reason to hold someone's hand and pamper them when they don't have enough time in their day to be equally respectful and post a short 5 to 10 word log explaining what they are up to.
*** Some may find my position harsh, but the world is harsh sometimes. Some of my best life lessons were learned the hard way.
you are wrong geobain, can't you see that yet?
the appropriate response is "here little johnny, are you new to geocaching? i'm your friendly neighborhood geocacher and i'm willing to help you out. here... have a cookie... and some milk... oh, and a gold medal for trying geocaching..."
bend over and kiss their butts... coddle.... rinse... repeat.

If I got 50 emails from different players accusing me of logging bogus finds and also all the deletion notices that also came, I'd be the one complaining to GS. Sounds like group harrassment to me.
If I got 50+ log deletions, I'd figure I did something wrong and figure out how to fix it.
Strike that.
If I didn't have to time to write more than a "v", I'd probably blame everyone else and quit.
yeah...but that is because you are a grumpy ole meany!!!!

Perhaps you are both too new.
I dunno, I'm not that new, and I agree with you. If I have a cache that requires constant maintenance I realize that I must have done it wrong, and I fix it so it doesn't require said maintenance.
clearly i am too new to comprehend "constant maintenance"... as i see that as a sign of poor selection of location and/or container.Some caches require nearly constant maintenance. Others will never receive a maintenance visit. Neither is a bad thing as long as the cache owner is providing the amount of maintenance that his specific cache requires.I have had two caches like that. One I had to take home and perform major surgery on (It's a puzzle-ish sort of container), and one I ended up just having to move it and change its container; and the reason I did that is so that they would hold up well and not require a ton of maintenance.
Consider a nano cache in a very public location. As a nano, it will need much more maintenance that a larger cache simply because the log sheet will fill up quite quickly. Also, if placed in a muggle-rich area, it may disappear more often than a more private cache. A concientious cache owner would still happily own such a cache if he could provide the frequent maintenance that the cache needs.
The cache that comes to mind for me is a super small cache that is (or was. I found it years ago.) magnetically attached to a piece of sculpture very close to my office. It is on a super busy urban corner and likely would go missing very frequently. However, this particular spot really does cry out for a cache. I would certainly consider owning such a cache because I could check up on it daily, whether a problem had been reported or not.
The cache would get sufficient maintenance to allow prospective seekers to be reasonably certain that it was present any time they felt like looking for it. In my opinion, this is the standard that should be expected for owner maintenance.
A cache owner who wouldn't be willing to give a cache the amount of maintenance that any specific cache requires shouldn't place that cache. However, that person's unwillingness to do so doesn't mean that a cache placed by someone who is willing to put in the time is a 'poor selection'.
nope, still don't see where the need for weekly maintenance would be necessary. a high muggle area where the cache disappears weekly says one thing and one thing only. i completely appreciate the willingness to "take care of" or "maintain" it daily or weekly, but the fact would still be wrong location. as soon as that loving CO moves far enough away (or gets a job elsewhere) that constant TLC goes away. Also, if a single cache causes this much need... that certainly brings up the topic of how many hides are too many for one person. You might transition from geocacher to geo-hider only.

ran into this one today... in the cache hole...
-
i consider signing the log to be an ALR... so i refuse to sign any log... and threaten the COs if they attempt to delete me with reporting them to the all-mighty.

Can't beat $15 for a gross though. But 144 blinkies is gross in more ways than one
that's for that extra special multi...

I like finding a dry logbook.
same here....
or, if it is a necessity to have a wet logbook.... instructions on how to write on the sponge.

Curses!
My new puzzle is already solved by someone.
Now I'll have to come up something even more inexplicable and obtuse.
Admittedly, I think some answers are pretty easy and with Certitude the remainder can be guessed.
find a rock bed... a large one... like in an old quarry.
put a cache into a fist sized rock, make sure it is wedged in. give the coordinates for the edge of the quarry... give the puzzle out as a physics problem - noting the type of rock and the size (but not the weight)... give your height... post that you threw it off overhand. wish them luck.

You're just jealous because they chose LSU to play the part of UT when they made the movie.
i think the location under my name has thrown you off the trail a bit...
If you could ask your fellow cachers to do one thing...
