Some of us, believe it or not, have lives outside of geocaching. Sometimes that life takes precedence over your bug. It's not about keeping them. It's about doing other stuff that precludes, at times, logging the bugs. My friend is lucky to even log the caches he finds half the times. He does move the bugs he picks up but sometimes they're not logged correctly due to his lingering confusion about this whole logging of the bug thing. Tried to walk him through it but he's better as a hands on learner. I lagged in moving some bugs when I got back from vacation last year. I even lost a couple bugs for a little period of time. Putting my dog to sleep and dealing with my job were more important to me than the bugs I had picked up. Sorry. It's not about being responsible for many people. It's about life for a lot of people. Many people's lives do not revolve around this hobby. I understand that geocaching is not everyone's main goal in life, but the issue is not someone losing the geocoins or not having the time. The issue is having the respect to message back to say what is going on. If they lost it, so be it. This person has been geocaching 22 times since then & has been on the site to log the entries, so an email would just be considerate.

I'm not really getting excited or think it's life threatening. lol. Far from it. I was just venting how some people are disrespectful while still geocaching. Thanks for all the replies, and we will still go on enjoying the hobby hoping some day they will move it on.

I guess what I should have asked is if one of the Administrators of the site could contact him and politely tell hm to move it. From what I know about this hobby, it's supposed to be a fun, family orientated hobby build around honor & trust. So if an Admin could contact him to remind him of this, it sure would make my daughter happy & carry on with the hobby instead of discouraging her.

Thanks for the fast reply. I understand that it's the chance you take when you spend money like that. It's just very disappointing for my daughter that people do this.

I have a specific geocacher that has collected a couple of geocoins that I put in a couple of new caches. This user has not moved the coins in almost 2 years. My 11 year old daughter spent her own money to buy these new geocoins to see how far they would travel. The user refuses to respond to my many messages from here & was wondering if there was anything else I could do. He has been geocaching 33 times since then & has had plenty of chances to move the coins on. This is very disappointing especially for my daughter. Anything I can do? Anyone?

These are so new that no one has found them yet.

Is there a way to change the Cache Type after a cache has been published? I have put out 4 caches, & now I want to put a few more. These are all located on my lake & are turning out to be more of a multi-cache showing people the different attractions on the lake rather than just traditional caches. Thanks, Chaseskip

You can't create PQ's on the iphone. A lot of the time, we cache "on-the-fly". The iphone app doesn't create PQ's. Also, the iphone app doesn't list cache size.

I am finding it harder & harder to find Traditional Caches with containers. A lot of the caches we are finding are micro caches. These are still fun to find, but my daughter LOVES the Traditional Cache that has a container to "swap" stuff. It would be awesome to know which caches are micro or container. Having a separate Micro Cache Type would be nice. Just my opinion.... Chaseskip
