  1. I haven't run into anything quite like that, but I have run into some issues with caches, like leaking containers, full logbooks, etc. What I do is post it in my comments when I log the find. Hopefully the owner will read them and take action. I wonder if I should send a separate Email to the owner in addition to this.

     

    Any thoughts?

    I would definitely log anything that would effect the next cacher's decision to hunt such as bulldozed or wet log then email the owner with additional details.

  2. Film cans leak.

     

    Get the 88 cent orange match containers back in sporting goods at Wal-Mart. They have an o ring seal. Camo them.

     

    Is their cammo tape that will make it easy to wrap the containers?

    We found that at Wal-Mart, too. At ours it was with the duct tape near the paint supplies.

  3. This has been tried before. In the early to mid 90s there were recreational use areas closed and the roads and trails allowed to revert to nature. Even selective logging was eliminated. This made it virtually impossible to fight forest fires and many acres were destroyed and animals killed that otherwise might have been saved if firefighters and equipment had the access the roads previously provided. There needs to be some sort of compromise between total back to nature and public use.

  4. Ours is a lot more simple. We paint a ? on a polished river rock. Young cachers seem to like them. Maybe after we get kid#3 out of college we can upgrade to something a little more useful. :huh:

  5. Our first cache attempt was for one hidden 9 feet into the woods and just north of a rock. We looked all over for it, really frustrating since there were several rocks. (Thus our name...What rock?) We moved over to another rock group, got more frustrated and went back to the car. There was now a truck parked by us.

    Not being shy, we asked if they were geocachers. They kindly showed us how to find the cache. It was just north of the rock, 9 feet into the woods; one of the rocks we had actually stood on. It was under a few sticks, with a small rock on top of the pile. I have a degree in earth science. I should have noticed that rocks aren't naturally found setting on top of sticks. :blink:

     

    *grins evilly* You're invited to come find my caches whenever you're in the neighborhood!

    :o Took a peek at yours. The two newest gave me a headache! Hope to get up that way caching someday.

  6. Isn't it the most fun!? We weren't so lucky as to find what we went for our first time out but we are just over 200 now and there are cachers out there who have found thousands. We have enjoyed every outing and been places and seen things we would never have known were there. Best of all, we have met some really wonderful people. See you on the trail and happy caching!
