I was looking for caches in South New Jersey and I have a question for the Forum regarding what has been done to the area round the cache site. The Cache in question is the Lebanon Ghostly Trek waypoint GC4176. Which has been hidden on: 3/11/2002 The owner ends the Cache description with the following: DON'T TAKE ANY OF THE OBSERVERS. If fact, bring something to hang in the trees, link a little skeleton or ghostly creature, or whatever. Take a picture and post it. There is a link to a picture of these Observers. Please check it out! In my viewing of this link I found these "Observers” are just junk/trash hanging from the surrounding trees (coke can, the head of a Frankenstein doll, a rubber bat). This Cache is located in Lebanon State Forest, one of NJ's State Forests and is part of the UN protected Pine Barrens area. Since we have been discussing the NPS not allowing Caches to be left in National Parks. I'm concern that with creating a cache like this will only do us harm by outlawing the sport at the state and county levels. I would have taken a shotgun to anyone who did this to my land. Ed

outsidefolks, Welcome, Good luck and enjoy the sport!

I post a Web site Address, related to Geocaching and not Advertising the site. As stated in my posting I have no dealing with them. I see many URLs listed here for sites both informational and online resellers. So I submitted one as well. I guess you have $$$ on your mind to think that letting Geocachers know about a related site is Advertising. Or are you concerned that your pay to play plan has turn people off and they would want to go elsewhere to play. Ed
