Wow, I am shocked by that, I had no idea this is what was meant by "being a numbers person" I dont see any point in that form of caching, where is the fun in it? the caches arent even hidden or in any way memorable! seems like a completely different game to me, maybe over time it will branch off and evolve into a new game in it's own right with a new name. Just my opinion, each to their own. After watching that video I can see why people do have such high numbers. If thats the way you want to do it fine. I would rather have some accomplishment to a find and I appreciate the caches in remote locations that hare hard to get to more than a park and grab (Which I have refrained from doing until now, after 120 finds and a years caching). Whilst watching the video all I could think was. 1/ Couldn't they walk between the caches? 2/ Whats the point?

Ok so I have found a cache about a mile away from my home and it has been reported as "needs maintenance" lots of times. Basically the box was never suitable, its always wet and everyone is logging as such. I have tried to contact the owner (Including offering to look after it for them) but they do not respond and have never maintained the cache. As I see it I could 1/ just replace the cache and just let them have credit for it. 2/ Log the cache as "needs archiving" and put my own down in the same location. Or is there a more official or legitimate way? Opinions please.
