rebasport

Sorry to hi-jack but I have a question about the caches on school property. I have been trying to publish one on the oposite side of a public walking path from a school and have been continually turned down. Reviwer states that is is less than 100m from school and most school administrators, parents and other adults become concerned for the safety of the students when they see someone who looks out of place on or near school property. Funny thing is that with it being less that a foot off the public walking path I was confused by the rejection. So by my understanding if I get writen permission from the school to have it there I should be OK with the reviewer? Here is waht is says in the Knowledge book: Geocaches are not placed on school property or military bases. Many primary, middle and secondary schools, as well as most military bases do not allow geocaching within their borders. Further, it is inadvisable to place geocaches near schools or military bases as the borders shown on a map may be inaccurate. Geocachers who are actively searching for a cache are likely to arouse suspicion in such environments, and we want to avoid this situation. Have you talked with your reviewer to see if your location would be OK?

Got it worked out, thanks for the input

Thanks, this would be a geocaching event to award prizes to cachers that complete the 2 week hunt that ends the same time as the craft fair and they want to give the awards at the same time. So, we did this last year at a business and it only lasted about 15 minutes. It was to hand out the awards but it takes place at a school and I just am trying to see if that is OK. So far, I can't see that it isn't but I am not the final answer.

I was wondering if we can host an event at a school? I know you cannot put a cache on school grounds but we are combing a short event with the fall craft bizarre and that is held at the school. Thanks!

We grabbed the cache today. Yes it was wet inside but other than that, we found it easy enough. If you want the cache, please let us know but it has been removed (as we were sure you wanted that) so it will need to be archived.

I guess Rebasport figures I would deny sending the quoted email above. I won't deny it. I did send it and it's all true. And we were having a blast doing it. But we never held up any traffic or interfered with any. So what's her point? I didn't break any laws. And during the period of time described in the story above. The cachers we were pursuing and us were the only vehicles on the road. So is it bad to enjoy the game with your fellow cachers? Rebasport needs to get a life. I believe Rebasport was responding to the difference between your description of irresponsible, and dangerous driving practices with the following: What you describe as your own actions were in no way the actions of "responsible geocachers." You described "geocachers doing stupid things along the highway." Thank you for seeing it that way as well.

It is your own actions that are deplorable by your own words. Don't attack me for exposing the truth.

FYI - this is a direct quote from an email this person sent out about his ET trip - guess his memory isn't as good as it was when he was braggin it up!!! "And then we could see some other cachers out on the horizon, about five miles in front of us. They actually came by us on the ET HWY logging caches while we were doing the head. We started to pour the coals on. I was almost smoking the tires accelerating from cache to cache. As soon as the guys got in I would push the throttle full open from 528 to 250 feet to the next cache. Then I was power braking from 250 feet to zero feet at the cache. The guys would jump out on a dead run. as soon as they were aboard again, I had the throttle full open repeating the story above. We reeled the other team of cachers in about ten miles of hard caching as described above. We actually had smoking brakes. But by God we caught up with them. When they saw us coming they started running back and forth to their Jeep. We just laughed and poured on the coals even more. We got right up on their rear bumper. We could of passed them, but xxxxxx said let's just stay behind them and keep the pressure on. They lasted about two more miles and then they called it a day. One of those guys was xxx from xxxxxxx. We sure had some good laughs over that one. I'll bet they never forget the day we ran their asses ragged. They were looking pretty worried there at the end. It felt real good to reel them in from way out on the horizon as just a little black dot far off in the distance." Seriously - this is exactly what N7VIV and DB sent out in an email blast to numerous people!

Sorry, I am trying to delete my post and can't seem to figure out how

Just wait for the next bad press and possible statewide regulations then I guess. I wonder if Nevada DOT will make a policy for ALL their land now? I wonder if anything could have been done to avoid that potential problem. http://feedback.geocaching.com/forums/75775-geocaching-com/suggestions/1051337-reinstate-old-powertrails-guidelines Well, Route 66 is in California! So no NDOT carryover????

We would like to find another couple to do the Route 66 trail on February 12th, bright and early. We've done the ET Trail so we have an idea of what we are up for. It would be fun to meet someone from another part of the country to share teh adventure.
