On my other cache, I read a log saying that a security guard spotted my cache finders. I'm wondering now if that cache is even gonna be there tomorrow. I've been out before and had the typical "neighborhood watch" folks checking me out. I'm just awful because I'm 6', 210, and don't always look like a "friendly guy". Having my 5 year old daughter along for the "treasure hunt", as she calls it, does help sometimes, but not when I'm poking around in the woods and generally trying to avoid "public" contact. I sometimes wonder how I can put out good vibes / PR. I can see how Geocaching could get a bad rap, but I sure do have a lot of fun with it, playing out my high-tech "Indiana Jones" adventures, and everybody I ever met having anything to do with Geocaching is also a remarkable experience in itself. So, how does it go?

Yep, that's me in the year-old thread... what a bummer. I put out this and one other cache last year, the other one is on the site of the Hastings Nebraska Naval Ammo Depot and gets a great turnout. I put some historical literature in there, and judging from the logs, it gets rave reviews. Sorry to say I don't get out for "periodic maintenance"; I deployed last year and just got home. It drives me CRAZY to even think that someone could or would manifest such ill intentions.

I put out a cache just over a year ago: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=40175 I started receiving logs / reports of suspected pepper spray in the container. Another Geocacher checked it out and said it was due to fireworks left inside. Today I received another log from a family saying that they experienced a reaction to something inside the cache - a burning sensation on the face. I'm at a loss for words, I feel so bad for all of this, but not sure what to do besides check this out for myself. It hurts to believe that someone would do such a thing. Any advice / thoughts / suggestions? Thank you.
