Haha, thats friken priceless... I hear ya...
But back on topic, if I were in the situation where I had a cache and someone could not reach it but e-mailed me or posted something that they went to the cords saw it, gave me a desc of it (where and how it was hid) and maybe posted a pic of it, I think I'd go ahead and let them log it and not lose any sleep...
This ""Geocaching"" is many things to many people.... To me, one of the things it is is a stress releiver and Fun!!!
I can't depribe someone a few minutes of enjoyment, because of a few inches.... Let'em have it... Whats it hurt... But thats just me... I'm a softie on some things..
Yes, I usually cache with taller people but it just happened that I was alone the day I found it.
My only other comment on this is to the O.P. (Oringal Poster), do you have any friends you can take with you caching that might be able to help with some of the reaching???
If not, Sadly, I think you will be really limited in this game/hobby/whatever we want to call it,because of where and how so many are hidden...
