  1. We had record flooding in northern Indiana 2 weeks ago. I forgot I had 2 caches near the river which crested 17 feet above normal. Trying to do the right thing I immediately went to check them. My multi-cache was dry inside but the outside lock was ruined. It's going back out this week. The other one is still under 4 feet of water. I suppose I could change it from difficulty 1 to difficulty 5, needs special equipment like scuba gear
  2. I have to say our local reviewer is pretty good. We have to log NM and give the CO a month to respond. If they don't then we can log it NA. Our reviewer then gives them another month to fix and reactivate. Very quick to. Never waited more than 2 days for response from reviewer whether I placed a cache or logged NA. Funny thing, I went through the process about a year ago with one cache. Finally got a message from the CO yesterday saying they hadn't checked on their cache in a while and that it was likely gone. I had about 9 caches archived last year because the CO never responded to NM or even to the reviewer.
  3. I never even thought of it from a reviewers standpoint. At a minimum it has to make them rethink volunteering their time.
  4. I agree. The few hides I have, have custom containers and backstories. Trying to be original and give people something they likely haven't seen in our area. I like PnG's and such, just no so many so close together and wish others were given time to make their own hides. For my hides I care less about getting 5000 people to find it than I do about the people that do find it thinking "man that was fun" or unique.
  5. I believe they would have but they were at least waiting for the construction to be completed and forms pulled lol.
  6. Thanks everyone. I guess I was aggravated but mostly curious if there was an unwritten code of cacheing conduct. The trail spans 4 towns so far and there is talk of extending it all the way to Lake Michigan. It has been fun biking and cacheing. I just feel like it's less than courteous to span a trail the distance of 2 towns with what appears to be lesser caches when there are many others who would like to place a hide.
  7. Thanks. I don't know why it never dawned on me to block them through email instead of changing some setting for notifications. I guess I was aggravated and not thinking straight.
  8. That's exactly what I'm seeing. literally copy/pasted description. All 528 ft apart. I have went caching in area several times. I find separating them out from the rest is shall we say, tedious?
  9. I have been unable to find any info on this topic. First I will give the situation. In northern Indiana and southern Michigan there is a new trail being made. In the last month or 2 a CO has put out nearly 300 caches along this route sometimes before a section was even finished. At first I thought it was geoart but that does not appear to be the case. I do not plan to place a cache there nor do intend to look for any of these as I'm not in it for bulk easy finds to raise my "score". This seems like it could be contentious topic and that is not my intent but this is starting to really put me off on geocaching. I am actually considering quitting the game and orphaning my own caches. My questions are: 1. Is there an etiquette to this in the geo community? 2. What would other cachers do to place a cache there? 3. How many caches can a CO realistically take care of properly? (seems many like these are placed and abandoned immediately) 4. How do I stop the 20+ email notifications a day for a New Cache on these yet still get them for others in the area? 5. What are your suggestions/insights?
