That happens many times. I have one that migrates a few feet everytime someone finds it. Posting a note on the cache page doesn't help if they don't read it.

Play fair and have fun Or Just keepin it fair and fun

How about require that a log message be a minium amount of letters. Like 20?

It would be even harder for the cacheowners to check, if the pictures are really yours then. I didn't mean that as a change to your idea. I was just saying how little I'd enjoy looking at other peoples' selfies. I did write "FORMER webcam cache".It is now a traditional cache and says, that you should take a picture of yourself with your GPS device, but not everyone did that. I looked at that cache myself because I was curious how it was set up. To be clear, the cache does not require that you take a selfie, it only suggests it. Requiring a selfie on a cache would be an Additional Logging Requirement (ALR), which isn't allowed. I thought not having a webcam working or allowing cachers not posting pictures would result in archiving the Webcam?

Another pet peeve. Is more and more tree hides are being put out. I don't mind a few here and there series and series of them?

I've headed out on a hike before, backpack and all...only to discover at the cache location that I'd neglected to replace the pen in the pocket. I've also brought a pen, discovering as I am signing the log, that it no longer works/is out of ink or is broken. It happens. What I've learned in the forums: Never write in the online log that you forgot your pen. I've been called nitpicky and nazi. I don't care, if I suspect someone wasn't at my cache I will check the log and photograph it and post it on the cache page. Play the game right or don't play at all.

But one cache I left my Facebook bird chat card in one that has my jellis name on it and and some I have used a stick with mud to etch my name, photographed my thumb ring. Anything to prove I was there.

If he is still using this I know of one obsessive geocacher who loves the Geosphere over the GC app.

He posted an event and you should read one of the logs. I had nothing to do with that. But someone in France noticed what he did in California.

Some of the French COs feel the same way about this cacher and Groundspeak.

Same here

It depends, difficulty can also be judged by experience. I had to adjust my difficulties when some experienced cachers say the rating is too high where if you lower it, then newbies expect it to be easy and it may not be for them. You just have to find a happy medium.

I like checkers. I don't have to wait for an answer from the CO. I don't have to waste gas going to the wrong location I like seeing Homer dance it makes me feel good I solved the puzzle correctly I like how you can hide the hint in the checker instead of the hint section.

I describe them like a combination lock. You get first part wrong you have to start over. You get to the second part and get that wrong you have to start over and so on. I have seen Wherigo's like that and they are frustrating.

Reviewers can't ban. Only Groundspeak after they investigate.

If you want to lock this because of the duplicate thread that's okay. Thanks for pointing it out.

So the King5 news is from something different then the Instagrams? Is the Instagrams more recent? I couldn't find time stamps.

Are they real or just playing pranks. King5 news says they are trying to protect the forests. Then why are they making videos and broadcasting demonstrating they are more like Geoterrorists. Why not just take the cache and throw them away. Their videos show they are littering more then protecting. https://www.instagram.com/thegeosmashers/

I've had been on all sides. So you will always find someone wrong with the cache, with the log or with a message from the CO or finder. Think to yourself did you do or say something to provoke that response. But best thing is leave a short log and move on.

Well heard from GS and they said they gave the cacher a warning. Not sure if that was before or after they logged 21 more caches they didn't actually go to. Another CO also sent GS a letter after they checked their cache to find no signature and asked the cacher why they are doing this. They replied in bad english, basically they can do whatever they want.

When finding some of my caches moving even right after I put them back in place. My caches going missing right after I checked them My favorite is "forgot my pen"

A dedicated gpsr may tend to work better but neither it or a phone will routinely put you directly on top of a cache. Many times it's better to follow the arrow until you get somewhat close, then put the device away and begin your search. Good luck! I agree, it also depends on what kind of device the CO used. I know phones are getting better. But I remember a CO who use to use a GPSr and started using an smartphone. I was getting on him because I couldn't find his caches because according to my GPSr the coords were off. He asked what to do, and I suggested going back to his GPSr. He did and after that I had no trouble finding his, but the cachers who were finding his before had troubles because they were using smartphones and the coords seemed off for them.

Most of the ones I archived were because I moved from WA and the ones that stayed are being maintained. Others because they were too much trouble for me so I adopted some out. Ones that go missing I decide if I want to replace them or not. I have had some newbie cachers ask me to archive some of my caches because I was taking up areas for other caches. HUH?????

Logs on my caches that say "forgot to bring a pen"

Not by size of the outside but what can be fit inside. You say a large and cachers will bring TBs finding the actually volume is a nano. I had that problem (yes I know these aren't really allowed) when I looked for a cache described as a regular. It was a log. But the problem was on one side the wood was scraped to allow cachers to write their name on the outside. I told the CO that this is not a regular but an unknown because I can't place TBs in it. (added) I also told the CO to add on the cache page NO TBs
