I have been offline awhile, and may be lacking the information on how this can be possible. My inquiry is how can a find be noted via the "geo bot" thing when the cache is disabled, and how come the log is not on the cache page? Oh yeah, how come you can claim a find on a traditional cache that you don't sign the logbook because the cache doesn't physically exist? No disrespect whatsoever to the cache "finder", but maybe something has been overlooked. Hmmm.

Funny thing is: This cache is disabled. Also when you go to the cache page, there is no log there. Furthermore, there is no actual cache to sign the logbook either. What's up with that?

I checked my email today and found a user had posted a log on a cache that I placed, but the cache in reference is disabled. The user is credible, and the automated geo message sent me the usual information and links, but there is no actual post on the cache page. Also, how can this person log a find when he didn't sign the log book (since the log book is here with me)? I have been off line for awhile, so I am thinking that I have missed some changes in the way that gc.com handles situations such as this. I still cannot figure how I get an email on a "found it", but it is not on the cache page, futhermore, there is no cache there for this person to claim a find. Hmmm..... Any suggestions?

I'm not saying I have mislead, but maybe all the information may need an update. As a whole, I really thought the box was harmless, since it is obvious that a rare individual would make a trek to that spot in particular anyway. Yes, it did cross my mind that it would be harmful, but most of the fear turned into a matter of curiosity. A gut feeling told me it would be o.k. This is a remote area in reference, and like from a classic novel, I was under a sort of impression that it involved ME and HIM only. I'm a great fan of chance anyway.

Thanks worldtraveler for the insight. Isn't it lovely? Ah, the misinterpretation that is... Yes, I found an empty ammo can. Nope, it's not mine, nosiree. No obsession is involved. Maybe yours? All I want to know is WHY this was placed and by WHOM, especially in an area that probably is frequented by only two people in any given year...much less ANY TIME..... Much clues need solving. Time to look a little closer, I guess.

O.K. Let's get it straight to begin with. No regrets. You all should know where I stand there, so please refrain from the implistic remarks that you humbly access with much ease. I have a situation here, and need some replies to give light that is much needed. *KISS KISS*. Is that better? Here it goes: Bow season is in here, and I've changed my approach from one big buck to another. Hence, I've traveled 60 plus miles to try to gain an advantage on the other, since I have encountered him two more times than the first-all while scouting. Here's the kicker: There's another *geocacher* that I presume hunts this same area, but is from a neighboring state. This presumtion stems from a previous encounter where we were both scouting the same area, and along a friendly conversation, we both were geocachers! (or I think.....). You see, now as I recollect, that fellow seemed to be following my lead when I mentioned geocaching during the main topic, which should have been scouting and signs for deer and such, but that reflects my passion with geocaching *insert brown nose pic here*. We talked about GPSr's and all, but I never did catch the username of this person. If you are like me during hunting season, or the events that lead up to the hunt, another "dude" in your area is NOT GOOD. I was eager to disperse anyway, as I felt disturbed and possibly intimidated(in a way) being an encounter of this person. And I thought that, as I'm sure he did the same. Heck, maybe it was his spot to begin with and I was invading. I thought the same, since I have been in the area too for years . Wednesday, Oct.8, Early morning, I found an ammo can, suspiciously placed at the same big oak roughly 300 yards from where I met the mysterious hunter. And again, as you see, I have been using this area off and on for three years now. BTW...Both Monday and Tuesday mornings around the same time as Wednesday, I have stopped to rest here, as I felt this is my place to rest, as well as claiming my "stand". Totally surprised and somewhat scared, I examined the area around, looking for someone hiding or any other obvious threat, but none whatsoever (I think). A strange feeling came over me, but (weird), I went to the ammo box and opened it. What were the contents? Nothing. What kind of message is this person trying to give me? Really, as some will (may) post, is that he wants to have a cache placed there, and giving me the notion to start it...OR he wants me to take it SOMEWHERE ELSE and leave his area. Maybe even a kind gesture, since I now SEEM TO BELIEVE that he wasn't even a cacher, and happened to come across the sport in another way and remembered me.... All kinds of thoughts have ran through my mind. Regretfully, I do not know this person, and cannot place names, or usernames since it was a totally inadvertant meeting to begin with, and I never gave it any more thought...UNTIL NOW. Maybe it wasn't him, maybe it was, but first and foremost, I would never place a cache there (even though it is an awesome and beautiful hunting spot and plenty of wildlife available to encounter), since the area is a deer hunter(s) spot, and I have other places that I feel would be more appropriate to place a cache. I am posting in hopes that this fellow reads the forums and sends me an email (not sure if it is him, but that's what I'm grabbing at). This topic is now yours to enjoy!

solohiker, As you have seen by my example concerning administration and forums, it is a moot point. You are only going to dig yourself in deeper. People are going to hate you for your continuous attacks and personal "strive" to be the new bad guy. Not at all did I want to acquire the bad guy tag, but it DID suit my state of mind at the time. I pushed the envelope and found out alot about the way things are NOW done here. Take a word of advice and leave it alone. Oh, I forgot ANOTHER important matter! I have ALSO found, that like many here have stated, it works best to private topic or email, since that way it is among YOU and THEM. No solohiker "aura" will be seen by forum members within PM or email. Yeah, you say they won't respond, but they will. Been there, done that, too.

Oops, real quick before the thread gets locked, I DID NOT realize I made such a comment and am truly sorry, Keystone. WOWEE!!! Let's all use better terms and suggestions from now on.

I was expecting a pink slip via email from hydee to pack my bags, but I was surprised by the warm reply she gave back. Now, that's how it is supposed to work *rub rub*. Please lock this thread now. I have nothing more and this needs to go no further.

Man, what have I gotten myself into here? Can't win for losing, GAWD!!!

Hugs and kisses hydee. And I haven't read the email yet... LOL! I'm sure it will stillbe hugs and kisses afterward.

Jomarac5 (I clearly and correctly spelled it this time) I have read and re-read and read once more this reply, and have bitten off half my tongue (mind you, I can still type) but cannot help it.!! Everyone shunned me for my posts, but here you are care free and flowing in the breeze. Entertainment. Yes. But for those who take it too seriously are by the snotty remarks posted by WHOEVER, it doesn't matter. And you, of all people upon your threshhold looking the other way as in "Who ME?? I don't cause any of the problems here. What have I done??? Oh, and by the way, here's my take on this topic." Nothing else to be said here. Run me off, but the board is WAY unbalanced, and I see why. And I am in disbelief that admin. did NOT reply to a decent and well worded email I sent them. Darnit, and I was trying to grab what last string that was available. Looks like I blew it. I feel beeter now. P.S. For what it's worth, sorry for another personal attack (but well deserved). I'm ready to go into confinement while the others run free. Lovely game that is being played here, don't you think?

That'll be me, and I have removed the animal that you so despise. Anything else? Am I in quarantine or what?? The person below me isn't bothered at all.

Yes. just like BriansNat stated... cheaperthandirt is great place for the ammos. UMC directed me to that site a while back. Thanks, UMC! I will post to you via private if you don't mind.

The war goes on." Finally! You win, breaktrack. I have no clue what the prize will be, but I sure feel much relief, now you have opened it up. I guess I have created a monster with the barrage of posts, but it was all an inside "experiment" that a few of us are working on. I give a formal apology to all that were offended, but my finds surely have been a wealth of knowledge and the results have been accurate with about 83% of our initial predictions concerning this "study group". I do have a break down of our finds, but I cannot disclose them in fear of causing more trouble. I'm ready for the boos and hisses now, but I did apologize for using this place in such a manner. Now, I'm through with the OT and all that, so you will be pleased to know I did this reluctantly and no more from me. I hope that I can still be a small portion of the forums in the future. Thanks, and sorry.

goat will be gone shortly Yup. That's MY goat!

Ha! I'm getting a kick outta you guys! Conspiracy? Nah! Keep up the good work. I love the FRAC's and their awesome power! Yup. That's MY goat!

the goats posts being deleted Yup. That's MY goat!

Happy birthday, fuzzy. All craziness aside and hateful remarks. BTW...How old is the fuzz? No reply is needed, unless you wanna. Yup. That's MY goat!

the goat is currently experimenting Yup. That's MY goat!
