I know this is last minute but thought I would toss this out. Anyone wanting to stop by GC6W0JE I have stocked it with some trackables but should anyone feel the urge to want to send some to Ireland/Scotland I have left a bag which I will grab later tomorrow prior to my Sunday departure. This is very near two caches on the list. Will drop any left in my travels on my geocaching trip disguised as a golf trip :-) Sorry I am missing this event, though I have in general found most of these. Will have to try on another one not in my home town. Have fun everyone!

So I did a bit more research on the property. Seems that it is indeed private, though much of the public land is "behind" this land. Meaning the logging roads through this land reach the public land. You could get to the public land from other public land but it would require some serious bush whacking for several miles. According to county records the property was sold December 2016 to the current owner. I am attempting to contact the company listed on the sign and ask what their position is. The CO as I mentioned has not been active in sometime. I think what needs to happen if the owner does not want them is probably someone at ground speak needs to to a filter on the database and archive based on the parking area. This is the only way that would make any sense. I hate to go through all the effort of doing this myself for a large number of caches when they could do this in minutes with Database access.

Should some of these be archived and how should it be communicated. Sadly a large portion of them have the same parking coordinates which has a no trespassing sign. Would seem that Groundspeak could do a database search to figure this out.

I am not sure where to address this question, I figured I would try here first. Near my house in SW Washington (Vancouver) there is a power trail east of town. This trail was placed about three years ago, a few people have worked the trail to varying levels of success since then. Recently I decided I would give some sections a try as time permitted. Most of the 650 or so that were hidden require a walk of various distances as they are on logging roads. Recently while trying to work the trail and go to the parking coordinates for the series I found myself met with a very large sign claiming that the land is private property. The cache page claims it is Washington DNR land which appears to be a generic cut and paste from when the caches were placed. Upon further research I have learned that a large number of these are not on DNR land, some are on DNR land but to reach them would require trespassing on private property. Maybe there is some method of finding the parking area and archiving if these are on private property. I got curious about if they were on DNR land and downloaded the GIS data which I imported into Google Earth. I then downloaded a Pocket Query so I could have a couple layers. I have the google earth file if maybe someone wants to look at this, cache locations are obvious. I attached a quick screen shot to give a visual, the red outlined areas are the DNR land. The other "lesser" problem if you want to call it that is it appears many in the series are being taken over by nature so some serious bush whacking is required. Normally I would ignore these but they are so close to home when I search a radius from home there are so many of these they take up a big chunk of the 1000 displayed by the search. Having a way to exclude a CO in the filters would be really nice in this case. I really appreciate the effort that went into the placement from the Cache Owner, clearly a substantial amount of effort went into this. I would ask the CO however he has not been active in sometime. Though having done this and having 29,000+ finds gains my respect for sure.

Sorry was not aware, I will do so. He has been really helpful in the past was just trying to understand how to solve the formula so to speak.

Hi, I have not really done any Multi's and only some puzzles. I have one very near home and I have been meaning to solve and am in need of some help. From the description it reads below. Please respect park hours for initial coords At the posted coords you'll find a big pole. On the east and west sides of the pole are the letters SIFT as well as four more letters. These are different on each side of the pole. Write down these letters. Now determine the alphabet value for each letter. Let the values for the letters on the trail side of the pole equal ABCD. Let the value for the park side letters equal EFGH. Now figure the following 2 sets of coordinates : <Moderator removed puzzle data> I am fairly sure I am solving the puzzle wrong, any hints for a puzzle rookie would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
