[Stolen Caches In The Adks]

 

General rule: difficult caches are found much less often. Puzzle caches may be the thing, or long hikes? Evaluate was has been stolen.

 

I recently completed a SEVEN-part multi-cache on State Game Lands in NEPA where the final cache was in PUZZLE-format code (after finding part 6) and the final cache was cleverly hidden in a hollowed out log.

 

I was the last one to touch it...the next day the final disappeared...how persistant does a cache-raider have to be to complete that?

[Attention All Pa Geocachers]

Interesting thread....a little behind the current news but got a heads-up from DM when I met him at the recent NEPA event...

 

Hate to open perhaps more of a can of worms, but this story I share may have similar ties to your SGL 57 pirated caches, DM (or it may be bored or pranking teens)

 

This weekend I cruised over to the Wallenpaupack area for some caching, and did a great and enjoyable EIGHT-part multi on what I believe are State Game Lands (I checked the cache description but it does not say) In any event, it was next to a Rifle (target) Range, which I think may be cause enough to "piss-off" some folks...as I parked there and walked near their range.

 

Here is the cache name and code PIRATE TREASURE GCTYR9

 

Anyway, after completing it Sat afternoon (and I noticed no one else in the woods stalking me), the final ammo-can part has disappeared in the last day or so....it was well-disguised in a hollowed-out log.

Now the question is:

Who would complete 8 small parts then arrange the clues which were in a puzzle format to get to the cache?

Or was someone stalked by anti-caching types to the final? Or, was the last part actually stumbled upon? (It was well-off-trail)

 

I have a personal gripe because I lost 2 new geocoins that I just registered that day....

But I am more concerned because a nearby cache I found also went missing...this one off a Hiking Trail (Blooming Grove)

WTF?
