I like night caching. I always stay close to inhabited areas to avoid the "lurkers" but recently I seem to be having problems with the cops in those areas. Ever since 9/11, people have been on alert for suspicious characters. The problem seems to be that geocachers perfectly match that description, poking around at night with backpacks. I know several people who have had the police called on them. I have come very close with people giving me the look. I was wondering if anyone had any tips about how to look natural in the woods at night without resorting to a sleeping bag.

It sounds fun! I personally love climbing. If the island floods, you could even canoe up to the tree.

I have actualy been to washington dc and I will admit that it is one of the better places for virtual caches. There are dozens of small, out of the way statues that, nevertheless, have tremendous meaning. Thanks for pointing this out.

It sounds kind of nutty. Good way to start a rumor though.

That's the point! This is a discussion.

They are still being accepted, but only if they pass the strict guidelines or qualify as earthcaches. what you are thinking about is locationless caches. (reverse virtual)

I prefer traditional caches since most virtual caches have just featured landmarks that I have seen millions of times. If you people are going to make caches like that, at least make them about things that not many people know about.

Usually I don't mind if they keep the bugs for a month, but when it gets past 2 months, (I have had people keep them for 6 ) I get mad. I think you should be polite , but make it obvious that you want them to move the bug along.
