C&C+COMPANY

The term refers to a person who deliberately sets out to have a negative impact on geocaching and geocachers. The behaviour can manifest in a lot of ways but the most common is someone who destroys/removes caches or takes items that have geocaching significance like geocoins or Travel Bugs. Cache maggots can have an impact on the way that locals respond/react when there are problems. Geocoin thieves are becoming very common and might be considered a form of cache maggot but I think they are just thieves. I have actually been told by other geocachers that I am just expressing my opinion when I apply the term "owner" to a travelling geocoin, they honestly feel that any geocoin in a cache is fair game and they can take it! I have seen people trade a new unactivated geocoin for someone elses travelling geocoin! Someone recently stole a Geobone I had attached to a TB, I was told by another geocacher that I was the cause of the problem because I attached the geobone to a TB. If you see Geobone LF060, it is a stolen item, some cache maggot has it. Ahhh here in the east coast we use different words for those types of cachers

When did this happen, never remembered that.....so GC.com has all right to do anything to our caches? Isn't the owner of the cache to make the decision on wheather or not it was a find The cache owner is in complete control of the cache page and signed an agreement with this listing service to have the cache listed. By allowing Finds that do not meet the listing requirements the cache owner has abrogated the agreement and this listing service will delist the cache. The Finds will still be valid Finds and to the best of my knowledge this listing service will not modify the record as it stands, they will not delete Finds that have been allowed by the owner. The two issues are separate and the listing service is not encroaching upon the cache owner's rights in de-listing the cache so much as exercising their own rights to ensure that all listings meet the requirements outlined in the listing agreement. The cache owners allows the Finds but the Finds cause the cache to fail in meeting the listing guidelines, the listing service is not exercising any control over the cache. Much better answer thanks wavector

ok I thought Ticks were bad...chiggers sound worse

what's a cache maggot?

Your Bluestone cache would make a great Earthcache.......hmmm I wonder if anyone will set one up there?

dadgum somebody beat me to the fact you haven't logged any caches yet

Your always gonna leave a trace...unless it's a parking lot

It's a dnf

When we first started the best thing to find was Multi tools and little mickey's of liquior, now I like trail tape.....because you can't put the other two things in caches anymore

It's took me 4 times before I got my first cache.

Just don't care.

It's good to hear from cachers that like Earthcaches.....Man the amount of negativity about them is crazy, like what Junglehair said some earthcaches are placed with more than one group in mind.

Don't think it's possible to be to far

I haven't got into Waymarking....don't see the point. There are like 6 waymarks for the same object sometimes and it would never be like that for virts

Hobby in my mind...never have thought it was a Sport

gotta place some caches out by deadman's bay and lumsden dude

oh, boy. now i have to find someone to adopt all my caches. Think most of us wouldn't meet those guidelines

Me too

ask your local reviewer

I like mapsource too, topo is the best in all I bought USA topo and have Canada and the whole eastren seaboard of the US. Now If I could figure out a way to put all the caches in the GPSR 10,000+ that would be wicked. Just my opinion

Read about it before I had a gpsr, then had to buy a garmin because heard magellin sucked

I'd say give it to a geocacher with limited means if you want to get rid of it.

cacher should be ablew to place a cache no matter what age
