I wouldn't even have asked for permission in the first place.
It's a park not owned by the National Park Service, so I would just go ahead and do it. But now that it has been turned down, I would e-mail him back and try and convince him to let me do it. I'm just 13, so I don't know if you want my advice or not, but I would tell him that geocaching most likely would not affect any of the events in any way, and that it may even result in the park getting cleaner (depending on who is a cacher in your area).I agree with you, a note like that would make me really mad too!
Good luck! -
Broken link. Says "Forbidden."

Sorry, but I found it. A mod can lock or delete this now.

Sorry if I'm not supposed to ask this... If I'm not supposed to ask this, a mod can just lock it down or delete it.
Does anyone know how they put the little red +'s next to the names of premium members? I have my own forum and I would like to know how they do that.
EDIT- Wording.

And, so, I put a NM on a cache that I couldn't find... blink.gif
I DNFed it May of 05. Finds in Sept, Oct and Dec of 05 list it as open, and wet, probably due to hunters in the area. Four DNFs for this year (no finds). Owner inactive since April 05. Sounds like it needs maintenance to me.
But still, you don't know that. It might be hidden really well. You can probably assume that is correct, but you never know...
Do I know that it needs maintenance (not having found it)? From the logs of cachers that I know and/or trust who tell me that it was found open and wet three times in three months, and an inactive owner? Yup. I think that's a dead give-away. The point being that I did not log the NM from my DNF. I certainly would not go looking for it again with those logs, plus the four DNFs from this year.
Oh, didn't see the "Finds in" part.

Lol. As IV Warrior mentioned I like doing, I will lock the thread before it gets ugly.
(If it actually would get ugly...)EDIT- Just discovered you can't close your own topics anymore...

Ok, I won't do a find. Thanks.
Why is it always brought up that I'm 13 years old?

I lost one of my caches. Here's the story:
I put out a brand new cache. It's in a downed tree high off the ground. It fell off of where it is supposed to be, into pricker bushes and thorns that are extremely dense. Some other cachers found it before I could, and they put it in a new hiding spot near the old one. I have not been able to find it now, 3 searches later. Other people are still finding it, though.
Once I find it, would it be acceptable to log a find on it, even though it's my cache?
-
And I do know that the cache is there. I just got this on my watch list:
Decided to look for this cache while in town for the *name omitted* Event. Found after a short search. TNLNSL Thanks for a fun cache!! -
I have done it once before, but it was the third or fourth cache I ever tried to find. Now I just get sick of it when people try to place the blame on the owner for them not finding it.
EDIT- Wording.

Doesn't it just bug you when someone posts a "Needs Maintenance" log instead of a DNF log when they can't find a cache? I just saw this one pop up from my watchlist:
*name omitted*, I cannot believe that she forgot our names. O'Man. I won't mention that I forgot to ask her name and only know due to the logs.Well this was DNF and the owner needs to look-up on the cache. Maybe we just suck, but with 240+ caches just myself I think not.
Sorry that we dragged you back there again *name omitted*, but it would have sucked if we found it and you didn't. Makes me feel better that we worked as a team and still came up short.
It's logs like this that I really dislike. It was her first attempt on this cache and the area is so overgrown you wouldn't believe it. I have seen pictures of the location and find it highly unlikely that it is missing, just from the way it is hidden.
Any input?
-
If you ask the owners of the pasture if you may do that, and they say yes, then go right ahead. Otherwise, just as geoduck said, NO.
-
That wouldn't work, because then I wouldn't receive logs for my cache.
-
Well if it's my cache, I want e-mails on it, I just don't want my logs e-mailed to me.
-
Didn't see the above posts about it the fact it's a broken link. Sorry.
-
Broken link for me. Just brings me to the store, not the rock.
-
Every time I post a note for one of the caches I own, I always get an email about it. It would be nice not to receive e-mails about logs that I posted.
-
I only ever have impulsed a cache.
I just say, hey, I feel like placing one today, and ride around my neighborhood and find a spot to hide it. -
When you place a cache, do you like to go out and find a spot, prepare your cache, then place it, or just prepare your cache and hope you can find somewhere?
I usually do the second.
But my main question is this: How do you go about placing a cache? -

Turned down by the Township
in General geocaching topics

Good point. The Township and city where I live have already mass-approved geocaching in parks, so that's why I said that. Thanks.
